WCDT Strips 3191-3195 (4th to 8th April 2016)

<< < (34/51) > >>

Lioness:
I hate how smug and happy CW looks in #3193 about having been "proven right." Ugh.

Lubricus:
I just noticed that the tanks in the back in strip 3194 has "04" written on them. As tetraoxygen, as far as I know, is unstable, does chemistry work differently in the QCverse, or am I missing something?

TinPenguin:
Well, they do seem to say "04" and not "O4". That may or may not be relevant. I don't know why they'd need tetraoxygen, anyway.

cesium133:
They're left over from 2004.

Unless it's still 2004 in-comic...

As for the comic, I suspect this is leading to Faye being fired again (albeit under different circumstances). In today's comic, Faye's boss just told her to get to work, and Faye's response was "screw that." Even with a reasonable boss, that's a bad response.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 07 Apr 2016, 04:11 ---I think that some people are overestimating the violence of Bubbles' temper and underestimating her self control. Look at Strip 3193 again. What does she do?

* She kicks the door open (after evidently unlocking it so the lock mechanism is undamaged - Note the lack of debris);
* She disrespects Jeremy the Armbot (although I suddenly find myself wondering if he is the Coat Check Guy);
* She inflicts physical violence upon Punchbot in a way that she, firstly, knows he will enjoy and, secondly she knows as his mechanic will not cause him any lasting harm;
* She is not violent towards anyone else;
* She proceeds to lock herself in her room to sulk.I'm not saying that she has no anger issues - the fate of her punching bag is proof enough that she has those. What I'm saying is that she has enough self-control to avoid causing damage to anyone and anything that can't shrug it off. Even when she threw an angry punch at Faye, you can see from Faye's posture that there was never even a slight possibility of it hitting her.

--- End quote ---

I disagree - I think you underestimate her level of violence because she's such a sympathetic character.

The first time she meets Marten, he didn't provoke her - he just didn't know who she was. And what she did caused him pain - he doesn't scream or anything, and it's Marten so he isn't angry, but still - being lifted by the scruff of your neck is painful and dangerous.

Bubbles hitting the wall, next to Faye: Faye moved out of the way (as her posture indicates) and while Bubbles didn't aim for her head, she aimed right next to it. Because the party didn't go well? Because Faye tried to talk to her? In context, that would be only threatening her with death instead of killing her because of a disagreement. Wow, that's basically a pacifist right there.

Kicking doors open and shut: I think the doors were already open, Corpse Witch usually filters the visitors. And note the dent the doorknob makes - she doesn't care how destructive she is, she just doesn't go out of her way to be. As for the level of violence she displays: This is a workshop, with expensive supplies and dangerous tools (cylinders with gas are usually not the harmless kind) and the only ones she hurts (physically or by disrespecting them) are her coworkers - she just ignores her boss, because she can't afford to lose her job.

The reason? Somebody made mean comments about her and people looked at her.

That is a moody teenager's level of self-control in a killbot.
