Very much, but using a "truth" in a manipulative way turns it into...well, not a lie exactly, but it changes the value of that "truth".
CORPSEWITCH may believe the Kool-Aid she is feeding Bubbles but she is still a fucker for feeding it in the first place.
BenRG:
How do I see this ending? I see the fighters being the deciding factor. If Corpse Witch tries to strengthen her influence over Bubbles by firing Faye, she might find that a lot of her performers prefer the "nice welder lady" to her. I think that this arc may end up with Faye essentially in charge of the URFL with a very, very weirded-out Momo acting as her administrative assistant. Depending on how far Jeph wants to take it, Faye may even try to make the League legit and legal, which would practically be a spin-off story all of its own.
A bit of speculation on Corpse Witch's possible motives: We've all seen how strong and lethal Bubbles would be in a hand-to-hand fight. She'd be a star draw to the URFL and there's no doubt of that. I think that Corpse Witch has been trying to strengthen Bubbles anger, resentment and sense of isolation to make her willing to fight just to have something to take it out on. However, to date, she's failed to break through Bubbles' hatred of violence; Faye is disrupting this plan and this is why she may take further measures.

I can't see that ending well for CORPSEWITCH, at all. Pretty sure that if Bubbles believes CW is fucking with her for her own good, CW might just as well be a piece of garbage since she would get compacted to a trashcan. I sincerely doubt that frame of CW's is stronger than a house, or Punchbot's, or Barry's. And Bubbles is clearly way ahead of the competition in terms of destruction force.
So yeah, if that were to happen and Bubbles got really, profoundly pissed, the following course of action would probably be complete termination of CW's chassis (as in "decomposed into its base chemical components"), then proceed to turn the AI core in to the authorities for running an illegal fighting ring, then start a(n illegal) fighting ring of their own in a different skate park, with the same people but better.
pwhodges:
So if Corpse Witch is as manipulative as this strip seems to suggest, what really was her deal in giving Faye a job?
