--- Quote from: fayelovesbubbles on 07 Feb 2018, 18:28 ---Here's some more poetry that Bubbles might relate to.
but my tongue is frozen in silence;
instantly a delicate flame runs beneath my skin;
with my eyes I see nothing;
my ears make a whirring noise.
A cold sweat covers me,
trembling seizes my body,
and I am greener than grass.
Lacking but little of death do I seem.

Sappho. Thank you. I had never given those verses proper attention.
Only fragments of her work remain, and the history of Western love poetry can be read as a series of attempts to reconstruct them.

Be reasonable. Sometimes we're attempting to channel Catullus.
ckridge:
Note that today's strip is perfectly ambiguous as to whether Faye has considered the possibility she loves Bubbles, the possibility Bubbles loves her, or both. This is not accidental on Jeph's part. Note also that the thought happens on the border between sleep and waking, which is as near as a cartoonist can come to showing you what is going on in someone's subconscious.

Jeph is SUCH a tease. :laugh: :lol:

A sadistic bastard is what he is :P.
Thrudd:
Tomorrow it will be snakes and smoothies as Sam drops by to ask for some shop help from Big Sis Faye, pester her Big Brother and terrify the lubricant out of Pintsize.
