Feet *are* weird.

Cole Blackblood

Bubbles wears robo-socks? Adorable x3 And love her protective side ^^

Foot looks weird... Kinda distracting.

Kyuusaku

Hey, I forgot Marten was in this comic! :)

Wild Card

Bubbles errs on the side of protecting someone who may be in trouble. Poor door, but better for it to need replacement than for Claire being in trouble and Bubbles not responding to it. Bubbles would do well in an emergency responder job with that reflex.

Imagine if they'd been going at it instead. Bubbles needs to chill.

Lucy

Rip Door, you were my favourite character.

Mike Robinson

This was exactly the laugh I needed this morning. thanks Jeph!

Tina Pegar

That would have been the perfect title.

Please let them be the cutest poly relationship ever!

Gary Walker

I just realized it's a crime this comic wasn't titled "A Claire and Present Danger." I hope Jeph is saving that for something. :)

spuckennehmen ist das beste nehmen.

W. Scott Meeks

I'm reminded of that infamous scene from Victor/Victoria....

Jessi Lloyd

yeah but the intonation will be different

Eric Rucker

Bubbles takes small friend's welfare seriously.

Diptych

Lookit Claire and Marten all cutie-snugged up in bed there.

Mark

I would pee myself quite a lot if my bedroom door was suddenly kicked open.

Ack

I just love it that she has a "Claire Threat Evaluation Protocol".

Quantum Cat

"Oh my god" as a triggering phrase could create serious havoc in a couple's sex life. Just sayin'.

Gamebook

Everything Bubbles does is hilarious. She is just wildly out of place among the nice, civilian people of the rest of QC. It is like having a space marine or a superhero living with them.

Panel 3: Please state the nature of your medical emergency

BobC

Have any of us been cleared for this?

Brad Knowles

Hmm. Looks to me like there's a toe line there across her feet, which would indicate that she at least has a flexible forefoot and a joint where humans would normally have the ball of their feet. At least, that's what it look like to me.

Someone has brought this up before about the power demands of an AI's body and the tiny cable being unable to carry any real current. The response (don't remember if it was Jeph or just a reader making a point) was this is a world with AIs and a stupid high tech space station, so present limitations on the power needed by the AI, battery power density, cable specs etc are null & void. Still, I'm curious as hell & would like to know how some of this stuff works, but there's no need for Jeph to figure that stuff out to be able to write the story so it all probably falls into that "any sufficiently advanced tech yadda yadda magic" thing.

Hey Jeph, good comic, I do have a little nitpick though, as a bipedal humanoid bubbles would need toes for balance unless she has a built in gyroscope or something, now she might be wearing socks here, the chassis can make it hard to tell if it's stitching or seams for certain things and if that's the case disregard this, but I know you like to be consistent and at least somewhat realistic in how you portray stuff in the comic so I thought I'd let you know.

Freya Thurell

I love that it looks like she is wearing stockings ;)

Shawn K. Younkin

That was awesome!

tamtheotter

Claire threat... Clear Threat Evaluation Protocol (since clear is one of the meanings for the name claire)

SARA J DAVIS

For the first time in my life, I am going to use LOL literally. I spit my water out at this comic. It was an actual spit take.

Magic Chopstick Games

that door was totally going to murder them tho

Gary Walker

She doesn't lack them, she just has precisely 2 of them.

Rick W

For some reason the question of bubbles power consumption just popped into my head I'm assuming her charging cable is similar to USB type C but to run her body what are the power demands and how long does she take to charge fully. Just my little moment of daydreaming

I congratulate Marten if he kept it to "just a little "

MikeT

At least that wasn't in the middle of sexy times and Bubbles didn't get a face full of Marten's ass #glasshalffull

drij

The other foot would've done far more structural damage.

Captain Button

CTEP?

Bob Ellis

Bubbles is an ever developing delight. Yet I find her totally believable. I love the vision you have of how your AIs think, care, relate and function.
