Apologies for the random poll. I entirely blame the current caption contest image.

What about the strip, though? I'm only guessing at this point but I strongly suspect that we're in for a Bubbles-heavy arc either immediately or in the near future. Bubbles is tugging at Corpse Witch's 'hospitality' and, with Veronica looking to sublet, there may be an interesting opening for her very soon.

What about Momo and Sam? It would be an interesting but bittersweet arc if, for whatever reason, Marigold agrees that it is time for both of them to move on and Jim allows Sam to take over Momo's companion contract.

What ideas to you have?

[Kugai]

It would be interesting to see an 'Odd Couple' Human/AnthroPC in QC with Bubbles moving in to Veronicas old Appt.  The question is who would she move itn with?

Faye?
Emily?
Clin-ton?

Or someone else.

I don't think Momo will move away from Marigold.  Despite both of their growth, especially Marigolds, I think she still needs Momo.

[War Sparrow]

Bubbles might want to live on her own, and on her own terms. I think she would prefer to have her own space, without roommates, random folk tromping around, and so forth. She might enjoy being able to arrange a space without having to consider how others would interact with it.

Or Emily AND Clinton.  The problem is, I find it impossible to imagine either of them having sex with anyone, let alone each other.

Holy cow, I fully expected to be the only person who voted for oatmeal-raisin cookies. I recognize the voting's just begun, but I'm surprised that we're the majority at any point in this vote. Normally, in these matters, I'm tipped off to the presense of my favorite cookies by people warning others about those dastardly 'fucking oatmeal-raisin cookies looking like chocolate chip.' Language varies, that was the most recent example. I'm always happy to take their rejected treats.

[Zebediah]

Okay, great. You take all the oatmeal raisin cookies. I'll take all the dark chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips.

[pwhodges]

The oaty ones are without doubt the best.

[jwhouk]

M&M Cookies, AINEC.

[Tova]

I don't know about this idea of putting raisins in oat bikkies.

So I went for double chocolate. Only because there was no dark chocolate chip option.

Seriously, WHO PUTS ANY CHOCOLATE OTHER THAN DARK INTO CHOCOLATE CHIP BISCUITS?!

Heathens.

[jwhouk]

More M&M cookies for me, then.

[mustang6172]

There's no option for dark chocolate chip.  All hope is lost forever!

[wlewisiii]

I don't think Momo will move away from Marigold.  Despite both of their growth, especially Marigolds, I think she still needs Momo.

I agree, but I also think that the matching also is to give the AI the help _it_ needs. There are still lessons our tween-aged (mentally) Momo can learn from Marigold.

[AprilArcus]

oh my god

[jwhouk]

Yes, we are going old school.

[Tova]

Hm? Did I miss something?

[electromgneticDstroyosaur]

Does anyone else want to make a QC relationships death pool?

[chaospersonified]

Okay, great. You take all the oatmeal raisin cookies. I'll take all the dark chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips.

Ugh, second favorite, right there. I will look longingly at your cookies, because you always end up wanting the ones you can't have.

So, this is the most Australian-sounding thing I've read in a while, absolutely. In my mind, at least, it was Steve Irwin-level Aussie. I don't even know where you're from.

[cesium133]

New comic, and I have to admit it took me a while to figure out, though it may just be because I should be asleep right now.

(click to show/hide)

Faye didn't realize until just now that Bubbles had a sense of smell.

[Zog]

A sensitive one.

[Zebediah]

Calibrated for sensing chemical weapons. And Faye has set off her alarms - more than once.

Although if Bubbles really was part of a mostly-human infantry unit, then a mere three-day stink shouldn't be unfamiliar to her. She's smelled worse.

[Mordhaus]

[chaospersonified]

I'm mostly annoyed because I thought I had a clever (albeit obvious) joke to make, then I read that line in the bottom right of the comic, and Jeph made it first. I'm a tiny bit salty about that. Amused, but salty.

Truthspeak. As a qualified and professional Australian, I have to say I didn't even realize there was anything wrong with this until I saw you point it out.

I'll add that I'm more partial to a good Tim-Tam choccy bikkie than anything else, but Arnott's Scotch Fingers dipped in some Bushells, that's what makes me chuffed.

[BenRG]

Poor Faye! Welcome to being awake at 3am and realising things about yourself about which you would have been happier to remain ignorant! What's the bet that the next words that we read from Bubbles are: "Faye... why do you smell of a meadow full of blooming wildflowers?"

FWIW, Bubbles is ex-military. I'm betting that she's smelled in the barracks block things that Faye can't imagine!

[jheartney]

Oatmeal Scotchies rule.

Seriously, WHO PUTS ANY CHOCOLATE OTHER THAN DARK INTO CHOCOLATE CHIP BISCUITS?!

I've been known to use mint chocolate chips. Comes out quite yummy.

[QuestionableIntentions]

I still don't get why Ais can only smell.

Wasn't it established that Pintsize can taste via mass spectrometer?

[Tova]

Tim-Tams are great, but at the risk of sound UnAustralian, I've recently become quite partial to Hobnobs. Aldi has them every now and then.

I like Scotch Fingers, but I don't dip them in tea (shock). I really dislike Tim Tam slams, while we're on the topic (double shock).

So, this is the most Australian-sounding thing I've read in a while, absolutely. In my mind, at least, it was Steve Irwin-level Aussie. I don't even know where you're from.

I was going to say I was chuffed by this, and MrNumbers beat me.

My accent is definitely not Steve Irwin level ocker, though. But then, I'm a Sydneysider, not a Queenslander.

To put in something vaguely related to the topic at hand... those epiphanies that come in the middle of the night are always the best.

[osaka]

Apparently the only constant in this comic is Faye using Marten's deodorant, according to your thoughts.

EDIT: It's entirely too early and I remembered when Marten used Dora's. However, it isn't hard to believe that Marten would buy the same brand.

[oeoek]

Ah, the happy smell of home, a familiar mix of cookies, and... uhm... err..
Bubbles might have another reason to find a place of her own, away from the skatepark and her co-workers. Or she has a sound reason to pick Faye as a roomy of course...

[Welu]

I'm amused that two of three make an audible noise that Faye must have known Bubbles could hear, but is only guilty/embarrassed now she knows Bubbles could smell it.

[Method of Madness]

Milhouse: Hey Bart! The bakery caught fire and all of downtown smells like cookies! Wanna go smell?
Bart: Yes. Yes, I do.

[aliensporebomb]

I call dibs on "Three Day Stink" as my QC-related band name.

[chaospersonified]

My accent is definitely not Steve Irwin level ocker, though. But then, I'm a Sydneysider, not a Queenslander.

I'm just happy to have gotten the continent. My knowledge of the Australian accent is Maude Garrett on Sourcefed, Steve Irwin, and the Monty Python 'Bruce' sketch. Which is to say, weak as hell.

[Kugai]

Epiphanies strike at the oddest times.

And Faye being Faye it takes several days for it to hit.




And why aren't Gingernuts on that Poll??!!!

I know what we're going to do today!

[Method of Madness]

THE SIMPSONS ARE GOING TO DELAWARE!

[Akima]

Although if Bubbles really was part of a mostly-human infantry unit, then a mere three-day stink shouldn't be unfamiliar to her. She's smelled worse.

I thought the same, based on my father's stories about his stint in the PLA. Unwashed bodies, mass farting, and not-so-nice latrines...

[cesium133]

THE SIMPSONS ARE GOING TO DELAWARE!

I've been to Delaware*, and Delaware does not smell like cookies.

*Well, I went through Delaware on I-95, anyway...

[Akima]

By reputation, Delaware is entirely populated by shonky corporate lawyers.

[cesium133]

That's Wilmington. The rest of Delaware is populated by cows.

[celticgeek]

That's Wilmington. The rest of Delaware is populated by cows.

No, the rest of Delaware is populated by DuPont chemists (I've lived there).

[cesium133]

DuPont didn't turn all their chemists into cattle in a bizarre lab accident?

Crap, I must be in the wrong timeline.

*checks which timeline I'm in*

Oh, shit, it's the one where Donald Trump gets elected President. 

[Zebediah]

Yeah, this is also the timeline where they cancelled Firefly halfway through the first season. Didn't you know why this is officially designated as timeline WTF?

[cesium133]

Eh, it's not that bad. There's one timeline where the third season of Firefly has all the characters replaced with Wookies. 

[Zebediah]

Yeah, I've been to that one. I have a t-shirt with Wookiee Jayne on it.

(click to show/hide)

[mustang6172]

I think I have just the right soundtrack for Monday's comic.

[Akima]

Didn't you know why this is officially designated as timeline WTF?

Because it's the timeline where our Joss Whedon thought it was a good idea to set Firefly in a fictional universe where there's supposed to be a strong Chinese influence, but cast no East Asian actors, except in one small role as a prostitute?

[Tova]

Because I'm lazy, I'll just let someone else express my opinion on Firefly for me.

[Perfectly Reasonable]

I really hope Bubbles has the ability to shut down her olfactory sensors when needed.

[Is it cold in here?]

What does Bubbles experience when she smells perfume?

It's good to see a synthetic have actual differences from a carbon-based person. Bubbles is someone who doesn't get disgusted by disgusting smells. That makes her a life form of her own, not just a homo sapiens copy in a red metal suit. This is good writing.
