BenRG:
Pintsize is right about one thing, though: Bubbles is a real 'glass half empty' personality type! You also can't help wonder if that is a letter that she feels that she should have written, wants to write but hasn't been allowed to because she has no sane reason to do so.
This isn't the first time that Jeph has implied that Bubbles is struggling with guilt for something horrible that happened when she was in the service.
sitnspin:
Bubbles is simply realistic in this instance. She knows what the consequences of that particular action would be. Realism often looks like pessimism to those who don't bother to think about consequences ahead of time.
jheartney:
This comic suggests how much more serious the mayhem would be if Pintsize and Bubbles switched chassis. On the one hand we'd no longer have this morose, haunted ex-soldier. On the other, we'd have a lot more collateral damage. And just try wrapping Bubbles' chassis in duct tape and sticking it on a wall.
For Bubbles' part, a stint in Pintsize's oval shoes might do her a world of good. Pintsize can afford not to take life seriously, partly because he's not in a position to do it much damage. A few weeks of that could help Bubbles see humanity from a different angle, and also perhaps to gain an appreciation for the inherent absurdity of existence.
HiFranc:
I have to side with Bubbles on this one. Pintsize is a self absorbed teenager who can't contemplate a world without his idea of "fun" (and is still surprised that others think differently to him).
{edit} I feel for Bubbles. She's obviously got some PTSD and he just triggered it because he wanted to justify himself.

Actually, I think it's Bubbles sense of humour showing. I doubt she would mention "washing off the entrails" in such a nonchalant manner if it had triggered something; she just likes to troll Pintsize. And, it works!
