WCDT strips 4306-4310 (13-17 July 2020)
BenRG:
There are three things in this strip that are wonderful.
Firstly is Beepatrice and her total enthusiasm for the project ahead. Something tells me that being part of a charity drive is the reason why she joined the support group in the first place and now she's getting her chance. I also think that we should expect her to attempt to go full-court press on the bikini car-wash thing. Millifeulle will probably literally be falling over herself to support that!
So, yeah. All in all, Roko is probably right to want to supervise every step closely.
Secondly is Bubbles little speech to May. It reminds us that she's very much the Team Mom with the synthetics right now (and also for Faye). I still like the strip where she's talking to Marten about her relationship with Faye and fitting into the group in the apartment and I really got the feeling that this was the 'mom and dad' of the cast centred on that location.
Finally, there's panel 5. At first glance, May is being cheeky or missing the point but she isn't. You can tell from her expression that she's genuinely thinking about Bubbles's words but feels that she needs to say something harsh or sarcastic to keep up her self-image. Bubbles saw through that to seeing what it reallly means: May is trying to stay strong and not give in to despair.

I got so good at saying it by trying to convince myself.

My younger brother can't seem to get that through his thick skull. He's so petrified of 'looking weak' that he'll wait until he has o choice but to ask.

That may also be Roko attempting something like a bedside manner, that is, offering May some measure of privacy and bodily autonomy from a politeness standpoint, rather than "I find disassembled Humanoid AI chassis yucky",as IIRC, that was still what amounts to the first day May and Roko 'hung out' together.

well... you could also look at Jeph's comment on that comic
Tova:
I think that Jeph just forgot about Roko's phobia in this comic, honestly. It's the simplest explanation. If it had been on his mind, he would have at least hinted at why Roko felt comfortable watching this time round.
Anyway, thanks for giving me an excuse to post this comic once again! :mrgreen:

Ah, Comic. Aww, Bubbles! :-D
That exchange with May reminded me of Garnet’s good words to Stevonnie in Steven Universe.
At 2:50 in here if you want to see the whole thing (again! :-D)
