Wow, this one is really moving.

I have struggled with depression my whole life, including thinking about ending it. But I will never do that, because I have seen how devastated my friends have been after a friend or relative ends their life early. Faye's pain and lifelong suffering is so brilliantly represented by Jeph. QC adds to my resolve never to make that terrible choice. I would like to think that someone's life might be saved by this story.

Memory can be like a muscle, if not exercised it atrophies. Still there, but lost in all the other fleshy bits around it. But unlike muscles, sometimes the brain likes to bury certain fleshy bits "for our own good."
The Shadow's Lair
I just realized.... her death anniversary just passed and you post this. How long now since my Misty been dead. 4/5/2005. I will miss her forever. How true it is. I can't remember her voice anymore. I can see her blonde hair wet with rain smiling at me but I don't remember her voice.
Hugh Eckert
So very, very true. The gaps in our memories can be very strange and aching. I recently was given a bunch of stuff from my elementary school days. I don't remember the carefree child I was then. Nearly fifty years of time and all the trauma along the way, it makes sense, but I feel I *should* remember. A strange sensation, indeed...

She is absolutely struggling to not put her ear up to the wall in the next room over..

Wonderful comic! I am crying while i write this.
Summer Sudbrink
Should we be worried that there are "opposing forces" with small arms, artillery, and EMP weapons?
John Ridley
waaaaaaaah!

Damn you, Jacques!!!

Ouch. Right in the Feels.

Given, bubbles is around the apartment for some time, they must have taken their precautions.

Heh just clicked your link to see how the kickstarter was going. 24 days to go and you're already 14k over the goal. Congrats.

Jeph has done this quite often in QC. His characters, whether they hail from a space station in low earth orbit, or were originally created in a laboratory somewhere, are still only human, with all the trials and tribulations that lie therein.
Wild Card
That is a great explanation of what happened. And I am sure a human soldier may have found themselves in the same situation: shock caused them to not be able to remember the names or faces of their squad, but they know that they were there at their sides and still feels the loss of them no longer being there.

Rereading the strip ... curse you, dictation software. And it got the rest so well.
Bob Ellis
Rereading the street for the third or fourth time. I just realised how much I liked that first line of Bubbles.' What prompted this?' is such a very Bubbles answer. Not quite guarded. Or even wary. Then the word came to me. Tactical. Observer, evaluate, consider, deal with. So very her, I think.
Ralph
Jeeps, that final frame is the best writing you've ever done. And wonderful art.
Devin Pike
Installments like this make me proud to be a backer. Thank you, Jeph.
Bob Ellis
Thank you. I've been waiting for this to come up. Thank you for handling it like this. Works for the audience and fits the Bubbles we're coming to know and like.
Thank you. You have stepped out of the world of webcomics and into the world of serious literature here.
Todd Whitesel
Liked for "Faybles"
Thank you, Jeph.
Celine Chamberlin
I don't know if this is building up to a romantic relationship or a solid friendship without the romance, and honestly, I'm good either way. I'd like to see Faybles come true, but if not, that's okay, too. The relationship Jeph has built here is a thing of beauty on so many levels.

Ok, maybe not.

Guys can't we just have a couple of gal pals without it getting all robosexual?
Erik Hawkinson
I love that last line.
Gary Walker
I would get involved with the feels, but I have to say this: That bed is gonna break.
Nicki Faulk
I'm not crying, you're crying!
Al Hunt
The alternative to that grief would be not having known them.
Jamison Town
Faye has the fabrication skills to make a sturdy bed.
Chris Hewson
Bubbles must be lightweight to not be crushing the bed like she's The Thing (FF)!
BobC
This reminded me of something I had papered over from long ago. Fuck. Two friends died.
Jonathan V
Is it wrong that my second thought was "that's going to be murder on the bed springs"?

MY SHIP IS COMING IN AND IT IS LOADED WITH FEELS
Sara Grace
Every now and again you write something that really hits home. And with the beautiful art! Ugh. Scuse me while I go sob in a corner now. xP
JD
If Claire could see them, she would explode from both her ship appearing to come true and feeling sorry for both of them.
Buck Caldwell
Also: Jeph, did you forget Faye's scar, or her top too high?
Adam Friedlander
*squees, but quietly, out of respect*
Buck Caldwell
Nice perspective work on panel 5. That can't have been easy.
