I like the idea of Martin going through some sort of development arc. With so much attention lately on Faye and her story, it would be nice to focus on Martin, who really is one of the other main characters.
Tough choices to make in that week's poll...
AWWWWW.
One would think Bubbles, after her experiences, would be reluctant to do military role play. Cute, tho.
Something bad happens or you feel like you've had a moment of personal failure, someone close to you keeps trying to cheer you up or encourage you and you just want them to stop, because you want to move on from dwelling on that moment.
So, basically, Faye used sex as a distraction from a conversation that she didn't want to have. The attempt seems to have been highly successful!
But this is how it's done, Faye. One tiny victory at a time. And for a first try, excellently done.

I wonder if Bubbles took that as an invitation for a generic dom/sub thing. I can't think of Faye's ever having revealed that kink before now.

From the looks of it both are victorious.
Jeph,
I had to register just so I could tell you, today's strip had me laughing in fits. Faye's comment with Bubbles reaction was funny, then Faye's adds the zinger and I was practically on the floor laughing.
Good work and thank you!
Leading a squad, as Bubbles has related, is usually done by a non com. My guess is she would have been a sergeant.Agreed. I've always seen Bubbles as getting promoted as soon as she satisfied time-in-grade requirements. She was designed for leadership.
Weird how he's grown on me...
Did she say she was leading them?
Ok, somebody explain today's pun to me.
Maybe Sara will finally escape the allosaurus?
Is it weird to say they're all right? Mostly Marten though, by not making a big thing out of it, but giving Faye a bit of positive reinforcement?
I agree; I can't see Hannelore being absent and we may even see Raven again.
Raven, possibly in the same room as Emily and exchanging ideas over moderately-alcoholic punch? I'm not sure if the space-time continuum is ready for that. The laws of physics definitely aren't ready for that.
So May was just minding her business and Sven just started talking to her? *lol*Some guys are

Is May just hanging out, eating a bolt?
Strip 4003: What is May doing? Because it kinda looks like she's eating a candy bar.
Sadly, I feel the character I identify most with in this comic is May.
Come on, May, you know him! They guy with the topknot, so he can admire his balls while he sucks himself off, (https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3097) remember?

We have the pintsize plush. We've had the Winslow and yelling bird plush...
How about a talking May doll?
I would definitely buy one of those.
May should be careful or she's going to start reminding him too much of Faye...

Anyone else shipping Svay (or is it Men?) right about now? ;)
Speaking of unlikely character combos, I kinda wanna see Marigold meet Brun.

She's basically taking a smoke break.
What she's holding is a USB drive that, when inserted, installs and auto-runs an auto-deleting executable file that gives a short-lived 'high' analogous to human intoxicants. We've seen Roko use this sort of consumable to simulate being drunk after a shift; I suspect that the one May is using here simulates the relaxing effect of nicotine or THC.
I was going for characters that have shown up in the last 1000 comics :-P but that one would be interesting too. Team them up with Emily and they would invent time travel.Speaking of unlikely character combos, I kinda wanna see Marigold meet Brun.
Personally, I'd prefer Raven and Brun.
but it just feels like we keep treading old ground,If there are only seven basic plots then they will keep coming round again. When you get old enough you get used to it!
He's done it with Steve, too.
I think Sven might need a therapist as much as Dora does..or at least some more close friends who aren't Wil, who is working(?) I think.
I have to disagree there, Tova. It's not telling us much that's new, at least in terms of Sven's behaviour. However, it's really the first time we've seen Sven acknowledge just how totally his commitment-free lifestyle has poisoned his ability to sustain relationships. It will be interesting to see how this affects his decision-making going forwards.
I'm with Castlerook here, I'm afraid. It's not repetitive in the only-seven-stories sense at all. Rather, there's a bunch of exposition telling us nothing new.
I don't know the seven basic plots; I'm more familiar with the thirtysix dramatic situations.

Speaking of which, if May remembers when she met Sven before, she'll remember that Momo thought he was hot - and might very well tell him so. Which could turn out to result in embarrassment, amusement, recrimination, gratitude, outrage, hijinks, guilt, laughter, disappointment, or lasting happiness. Or, you know, some combination of the above. It's complicated.
As far as I know, Bubbles is the only AI character whom we've ever seen entering any kind of romantic relationship. Although Pintsize has done ... things .... they never seem relationship-oriented.
I can assure you an obsession with boobs is in no way a hindrance to also being (i)nto dick.
May has enough sense in her robo-noggin to know that such would likely end her friendship with Momo.
(Yes, I've used the words 'May' and 'sense' in one sentence, try not to faint ...)
Similarly, May's only interest in human sexuality seems to be based on humourous disbelief about what we do for fun.Redacted
