Aw, Bubbles, it’s so cute that you think this could in a t way be a secret...
fayelovesbubbles:
Right? It’s already out there. The friends are waiting to hear it’s official.

--- Quote from: Case on 29 May 2018, 15:22 ---Could be its different with you 'Merricans, but Krauts seemed to find it more practical to associate people with what they were doing, or where they were doing it - maybe because those are pretty handy ways of locating the respective individual, when you don't have a county clerk's registry.

Not only locating the individuals, but keeping them all straight. When you have 50 people in a small area, all named John, their profession is one of the most obvious distinctions. Someone says "have you seen John?" "Which one?" "The baker." Eventually people stop saying "John the baker", and he's just "John Baker".
America was settled by immigrants from all over the world, and by the time the first settlers arrived here, the use of surnames was prevalent pretty much everywhere. So most people just carried over the surname from whoever in their family first arrived here. Forrester stayed Forrester, Schneider stayed Schneider, Miyafuji stayed Miyafuji, Woiczekowsky stayed Woiczekowsky (but no one in America knows how to say it correctly). Some people - for their own personal safety - changed their names during war time. In WWII, many Americans named Kaiser changed their name to Kisser. Others - for the aforementioned pronunciation problem - changed their name to something that was phonetically close. Dziadosz (Polish for "grandfather" or "old man") became Jardis.

--- Quote from: Mojo on 29 May 2018, 18:31 ---This may seem trivial... but I notice in the recent strips, Bubbles' anatomy is carefully covered up. That suggests the presence of things like nipples and genitalia.
This leads me to wonder at the PURPOSE of such things on a robotic body...?

I don't know. I mean, what's the purpose of her face? Or hair? Or her arms and legs? Or anything? Why shouldn't she have them?
redacted--don't wanna get in trouble.

What I'm currently wondering about is, would the whole Faybles-arc have taken the same course, if Bubbles" Chassis looked more like ED209?
We've seen "ED's cousin" in the comic, so… what if?
