Bubbles To The Rescue

gatherer818

I think I've called Winslow cute in every one of these since he got his body, but that last panel, he's too much, I want to hug him T_T

Andy Sleeper

I hate to complain, but Bubbles' skin tone is wrong here. Is she in shadow, or does Jeph need to keep better track of skin colors?

Mark

Now I want Winslow to sit on Bubbles' lap.

Hawkeye

Miss Bubbles is just the best.

Peter Jensen

Bubbles' smile in the last panel makes me really happy for some reason.

But she'd probably be more understanding than someone else. Because May doesn't have a companion to help her. She's all on her own.

Freya Thurell

I think Momo and May have bonded and May knows just how hard Marigold and Momo worked to get Momo her body. I also think May is projecting frustration over her own predicament to the most convenient vulnerable target -- Momo would NOT put up with that kind of outburst from May.

Robert Ragona

Just when I think I can't love Bubbles any more than I already do...

Cleo Schmitz

Because he feels it. Winslow realizes he has privilege and feels bad about it - he wants to do something, so of course he is the one who should do something.

William Burns

Winslow's 'privilege' comes from having a wealthy companion. He doesn't actually have any assets besides his body. How can he leverage that to reduce the inequity shown in this story? Why is it his responsibility rather than, say, Momo's? Interesting.

Matt

Love the modern metaphors in there Jeph.

Czarzhan

I still wish the color-matching thing hadn't been an error. :)

Timo

Typo note: "hosility" in the fourth panel should be "hostility". At least I didn't see a hose...

Seth Aaron Hershman has they she pronouns

The robot fonts have changed a lot over the years. I suspect Jeph just found one with better line spacing and decided to swap it out.

Bubbles is using her big fancy chair privilege for good.

John Ashcraft

Thank you.

Omg I need this SO BAD after this weekend.

Ivar

You say "lots of people" but the whole point of privilege is that a select few (usually a certain subset of people) have it. The vast majority of the world lives without it.

Patrick Liston

You know, usually I don't enjoy when the moral is this blunt, but when it's a character who doesn't screw around in what they say, I enjoy it just fine.

HEY KID WANNA /SS/

Firefly Jelly

That's one to grow on!

I see what you did there.

Bob Ellis

I was going to say just this but I cannot improve on how you worded it. And I wanted you to know that. Well said.

Alex Mullenix

Am I the only one that nearly cried at this Very Special Episode?

Lee Bolton

I see what you did and I like what you did and I'm grateful.

Eric Sieck

I wonder if the different font is supposed to represent something, or if it's just a different font.

drij

Thank you for including another head pat ;)

And one day, we shall all build our own Bubbles to have that experience.

Ali Grotkowski

Perfect comic for today. Thank you for making me smile on a day that needs smiles.

Anton

Damn Jeph, that was smooth and goddamn great.

Kristian

I'm really intrigued by this perspective. Winslow is dealing with a problem lots of people have, but he would have never conceived of situations like this. What's more, it's maybe more personal than how humans would experience this discomfort. The rift between him and May isn't just in material things like cars and clothes, it's completely intrinsic. What he is made of is the cause of the separation, so he can't conceive of removing it without unbecoming himself.

Bubbles used to be locked-down like Ft. Knox. Then she opened up a bit. Learned to hug and be hugged. Now she's a counselor / life coach. Quick learner! I really don't want to know how fast or how well she learned to toss tactical nukes, or if she's really liquid metal on the inside...

Bubbles is wise!

Scott Vogel

Bubbles is like the big sister we all wanted.

Aw. =) Bubbles is excellent.

Ron Braithwaite

Bubbles is powerful on many levels in in many ways. I sure hope Faye and her become a couple because they both have qualities that complement each other and mitigate their weaknesses.

Saketh Kasibatla

Bubbles really knows how to rock her sweatpants
