Rincewind:
Is that steam coming out of Bubbles neck-seam? She seems to be blushing a bit, to.
Tova:
The intensity of their embarrassed reaction to her mother remarking that Bubbles is attractive is very weird to me, honestly.
TheEvilDog:
Probably because Mrs Whitaker is trying to show she's understanding, which when any parent tries to do that, it automatically becomes cringe inducing.
Mr Intrepid:
Now, I would have put Jim and Veronica as a couple. Veronica raised Marten to be a nice guy, but she's also there to guide Sam through the process of becoming a young woman. So she's done double duty here.
But in the end, I voted for Mrs Augustus. She raised two kids, on her own for some time now, guiding one of them through a very difficult in their life. Dealing with another's life changing injury. Winding up as a bass playing, pot smoking,, sexually free woman of a certain age.
Veronica was fortunate enough to do what she does on her own terms, and apparently get to a place her life in a position of some comfort.
Faye's mom seems to be doing pretty good, in spite of what has occurred. Maybe handling the event, overall, better than her elder daughter.
Sorry, just rambling.

One of the biggest reasons I come here is for the surprisingly different takes that forumites bring.
Mine is somewhere in between the two extremes of, She's trying to show she's understanding and, She thinks Bubbles is hot - maybe my ship is legit now! Even taking Jeph's proclivities into account.
I have encountered proud parents remarking for all to hear on just how attractive their offspring's new partner is, and it has indeed provoked mild embarrassment. But nothing to the extreme of this comic. YMMV.
Probably - maybe? - Jeph is just doing comic exaggeration.
