Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT Strips 3406-3410 (28 January - 3 February 2017)
Welu:
I enjoyed this comic. Felt like a big moment for Faye and Bubbles. Despite the issues to follow, it feels like an optimistic end of chapter (but not the book) to me. Although it also feels like a small time-jump is being set-up which is mostly out-of-nowhere speculation.
Is it cold in here?:
The Pugnacious Peach is the friend Bubbles needs now.

My feeling is that was the heat sink on a huge transformer. That suggests very strongly that Bubbles uses some kind of industrial- or military-standard high-amperage recharging system that probably isn't compatible with a domestic electric supply.
The recharging shop near the apartment probably has the right recharging apparatus for Bubbles but, no, she couldn't just plug into a wall socket.

The problem with that theory is the fact that Bubbles is a combat model AI chassis. Unless you can guarantee a dedicated system to help her and other AI recharge in the middle of a warzone, its something of a difficult thing to do, especially because you can't guarantee that system. In all likelihood, Bubbles and her kin were designed to use what they could, where they could, her charging system would be quite robust. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Bubbles had a setup like this to help her charge.

I'm ok with green olives, but black olives (which are for some reason the only type I ever see on pizza) are just gross.

Dammit BenRG, have I slipped back to the 1930s? Even I wasn't born then...
But yes, the squid analogy was a lovely way of saying nothing informative!

It's informative, but it requires a nose-dive crash-course in marine biology and marine ecology.
