DSL.
He had a different headcannon avatar before this one, this is the most recent. I like the way it turns the usual idea around.
I been here too long. Been absent even longer... I barely know anybody anymore.
Not that anything's really changed, mind you!

--- Quote from: awgiedawgie on 22 May 2018, 23:23 ---To be fair to Momo, I could do nothing in the water except walk on the bottom (and I could do that quite well) until I was 17 years old, when I finally learned to keep myself afloat and swim. So in her case, it could very well be that she simply does not know how to swim. Her weight and density may be completely irrelevant.
Someone a week or two ago speculated that Bubbles was 400 pounds, and questioned the structural integrity of their bed. My wimpy little twin bed is rated for 500 pounds. Faye’s bed is bigger than mine. So I looked up full (double) sized and queen sized beds to see. The first couple beds I found in either size — just simple wood-framed beds — were rated for 800 pounds. So I have no doubts about Faye’s bed being able to handle the two of them on it (because I doubt Bubbles weighs more than 300 pounds). Besides, we’ve seen the two of them lying together on the bed a long time ago.

A couple of points on relative AI mass: Momo is light enough that an average person can lift her. She's also short and slender, same as Winslow - I know a person who is less than 5 feet tall, and they have trouble keeping themselves above 90 pounds. Bubbles is well north of 6 feet, possibly approaching 7, and BUILT. Andre Roussimoff only hit 7'4", and he exceeded 500 lbs easily. Also, http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3150 - Bubbles has serious mass, and not all of that is the armor. Either that, or Emily is as diffuse physically as she is mentally and thus gets blown along the streets like an untethered kite.

Yes, I estimate Momo is around 100 lbs at most. I weighed less than that when I was a teenager (I was only 4'8" when I was 14).
I reasoned that Bubbles is roughly 6'8", based on how she passes through doorways in their apartment (assuming they are standard commercial 7' doorways). The upper range for the normal weight of a large-framed human female at that height is just over 200 lbs. So I am guessing (which is all I can do) that Bubbles is probably not more than 150% of that. With her armour, possibly closer to 400. Anything more than that would have been problematic for a military combat android.
I'm guessing Emily is around 125 lbs, only because I know a couple girls who are about the same height and build as Emily, and that's what they weigh. When 125 lbs hits 400 lbs with a rubber mallet, the 400 lb person isn't going to move much, unless the 125 lb person is moving a lot faster than Emily was.

"In this comic, Tai and Claire represent the readers"
Some of the readers, Jeph - not all... :wink:
...Because some of the readers aren't particularly concerned one way or the other about a Bubbles/Faye relationship, and some of the readers just don't like shipping and the whole "I like the idea of these two characters getting together therefore so shall it be"... :-P

Whoa, what? I'm 5'7" and over 200 lbs. While slightly portly and male (38" waist), I'm also still a sinker, I cross my legs and sit on the bottom of the pool (much to the entertainment of children).
Females are often more buoyant due to a difference in body fat, and may well weigh a bit less, but I challenge you to find a solidly built 6'8" female in the neighborhood of 200 lbs. My svelte 5'3" daughter is 150 lbs easy (she ran track, athletes tend to be denser).
I can easily see Bubbles at 350.
MrNumbers:
If I might summon my inner BenRG again? Cheers, bud, for lettin' me borrow your spirit like that.
So how I was saying 'good relationships show what they offer to each other what no one else does', right? I like that today's comic shows
1: That Dora and Marten grew more as people without each other, than with. They're still good friends, but they've obviously found better partners suited for them.
2: Why they seemed like a good idea in the first place. It shows how they're good with each other, if not for each other.
And it did it on a strip talking about the complicated nature of the relationship Faye and Bubbles are in. You see three romantic relationships outlined here, and the main pairing doing the talking is the one that went south.
