WCDT Strips 3155 to 3160 (15-19 February 2016)
osaka:
If their entire mechanics body was Bubbles and she wanted Bubbles to fight, even if I doubt that anyone in that ring can give her a scratch, you need somebody to fix Bubbles, preferrably someone who wouldn't enter a fight. Then a carbon-based life form entered looking for a welding job without having to do any type of advertising (shady or not). It was basically something that fit within her scheme nicely.
What didn't fit within her scheme so nicely is Faye being interested in bringing the best out of Bubbles, which is something CW probably didn't expect.

I imagine that, if Corpse Witch has a natural talent, it is in identifying the unstable and/or desperate. In hiring Faye, she hired a competent metal-worker who was desperate enough to go into the black economy and therefore unlikely to pester her with demands for holidays, health care and the like.
Last week, someone posted at least twice that they wondered if Jeph is setting the game board for the cast to confront an external threat. It is possible that Corpse Witch and her exploitative ways may be it.
anahata:
Corpsewitch is't deliberately evil, but to my mind she's damaged. Yes, she can identify desperate and unstable people, but also she wants to surround herself by such people to make her feel better about herself. Today's cartoon shows Bubbles demonstrating some genuine inner strength and happiness, and Corpsewitch is terrified that her own mask as the benevolent mother-figure is going to break and reveal her insecurity. As she responds to that threat, the artificial sweetness starts turning creepy. She looks scared to me.

Then again, do never mess with Momo-sama.

God-damn.
