As someone with boobs, I think Jeph took a little artistic license when he drew Bubbles with her arms down covering her boobs. Sorry if this is tmi, but, uh, yeah, I actually tried it. Does not work. Does not cover boobs.

Bubbles’ anatomy is similar to a human woman’s but not completely so it’s a license he wrote.

Okay, so I'm sure everyone wants an update, and really cares! I tried again and it sort of worked, but, eh. Yes, I know, Bubbles is an AI, but STILL, it can't be that different. My feeling is maybe if my chest was smaller. Wow. Sorry everyone, it must be tmi night.

I think Jeph wanted to cover them both but show some of Faye, forcing Bubbles to use her arms to cover up. If he had covered up Bubbles similarly to Faye it would have come up to Faye's neck.  :laugh: :-P

Speaking of...anatomy discussion, how much is Bubbles bending down in my avatar to kiss Faye? She's like at least a foot taller than Faye. lol.

I prefer to think Faye spontaneously grew wings on her feet and was rising to meet Bubbles.

She’s bending her knees to take a few inches off her height. I’ve done that when kissing a short woman.

I figured it was Bubbles bending down, and Faye more or less standing on her tippytoes. I'm 5' 8" and I used to date a gal who was 4' 11". Bending down and tippytoes was pretty much always the thing to do. lol

In all seriousness I have an ex with the same height difference to me so I had to regularly stoop to kiss her. In the moment it seems perfectly normal.

It's also possible that the human he lives with isn't very nice to him at all, which affects his perception of humans. Like giving him a neckbeard.

“It’s not a beard, it’s a heatsink!”

Except that, to be an effective dissipator of heat, it should be on top, not on the bottom.  More flattop than neckbeard.

Well, you can see parts of the boobs, you just can't see any nipples -- but does Bubbles HAVE any nipples? I would not be surprised if the manufacturer didn't bother with those.

Bubbles doesn't really seem to have big boobs like Faye does, and her arms are slightly crossed maybe mid-forearm. So it seems reasonable to me, even if she were only as flexible as a normal human.

Maybe not.

Yeah, Bubbles is definitely, uh, not as "gifted" as Faye...or me! Haha! But not flat chested either.

She must have nipples, otherwise, why is she protecting her modesty with her arms? Huh? Huh?  :laugh:

I can see that she's bending down when she kisses Faye for the first time, but she's bending down more than you realize, obviously. Yep, the second kiss was definitely easier.  :wink:

On the topic of PTX, it doesn't seem like he has a good relationship with the human he calls his "owner." Not friend, not companion, but owner. His use of that word means he doesn't feel any sort of connection, and probably feels trapped. The fact that this person put a heat sink on him that he didn't want says a lot about them. They're treating him like an object rather than a sentient being. Plus, it looks like a neckbeard.

It would be interesting to see who this person is and how they treat PTX. Jeph hasn't really given us any details about that, or explored PTX's issues in depth.

It doesn't always show, but I am also emotionally invested in the Brun/Clinton storyline. I want them to get together so bad. That's been a huge tease, too. Not quite as badly as I wanted Faybles to happen, but yeah, it's frustrating. Wish they'd just get together already. Brun is the unknown quantity there, and her strange behavior makes it hard to see what she's feeling. She hasn't expressed attraction to anyone as far as I can see.

The "huh. you smell good" thing got me really excited that something would happen...only to be terribly let down! Clinton blushing when she did that was the absolute best.

Elliot...well...I think he's going to go on a journey of self discovery and learn how to choose the right people. And not blurt out awkward confessions of love to coworkers. Or take off his shirt for them. I do want him to be happy, but he has a lot of work to do on himself first. I cringe at typing this, because this is pretty much word for word what people have told me about myself. ugh!

Seeing how Clinton's mom acts when Brun visits...well, now we know where Claire gets it from!

Discussion of your own private parts is fine within reason. And discussion of your own private parts in the TMI thread in relate is encouraged even without any reason. Feel free to reel on through it and see how graphic I've got before. If you cross a line in a WCDT we'll tell you.

Yeah... I was a little perplexed by the art on this page, too. I was just thinking Bubbles had much smaller breasts than a lot of the cast (size As or Bs) which is why they looked flattened as they did, but it does seem like they should have more cleavage if her arms are pressed over them. Most of the time we see them they are pretty well covered and don't seem too large (even though the rest of her is gloriously curvy). Who knows? Maybe she is mostly flat-chested, but wears a fantastically padded bra under her clothes. She seems to be doing more and more to express her femininity since she dropped the armor...maybe even before that when she lost the helmet 'do.

...Robot boob anatomy... Never thought that would be serious discussion.  :lol:

Bubbles was already bending down and Faye was already on her toes when they exchanged their beautiful I would nevers. So they were fixing to kiss.

Yeah, this avatar is staying. Nothing tops that first beautiful moment.

Bubbles is almost a symbolic representation of Faye. Faye has had her own armor and destructive tendencies. They just aren't as visible. They both try their damnedest to push people away. The two of them are both survivors who are working on healing. Of course, their personalities are very different beyond that. I wonder if Jeph had always envisioned them coming together as a couple or if it was a matter of the characters taking the story into its own direction?

With that thought in mind, I am still waiting for someone to pinpoint when Bubbles started having romantic feelings for Faye. I know I created this account in early 2017, so by then it had already happened, but at what point it happened I still can't decipher. Faye's feelings took QUITE awhile to catch up with Bubbles' feelings, I think.

What comes to mind is the "affection" remark. She also let slip to Clinton that she considered Faye "hot", but that's not at all the same as getting romantic.

Sure, that strip might have been Jeph foreshadowing. Then again, maybe he hadn’t even thought about it, and writing their comments put the idea in his head. I don’t know if he’s ever said so, one way or the other.


As for Angus and Pintsize “predicting”, well, there’s a big difference between predicting and fantasizing. I can think of a lot of straight girls I’ve fantasized about being with each other, but if any of them actually did it someday, no one could honestly say I predicted anything.


I’d say the first person who truly predicted Faye and Bubbles hooking up was May.

I know I created this account in early 2017, so by then it had already happened, but at what point it happened I still can't decipher. Faye's feelings took QUITE awhile to catch up with Bubbles' feelings, I think.


Faye was the one who initiated the friendship, even pushing Bubbles to the point of losing her temper.

I think Faye was actually the one who started catching the warmies (or whatever you want to call "attraction" or "romantic feelings") first; she was just remarkably oblivious to her own feelings, and being attracted to an AI lady wasn't even something she consciously figured out until just now.

First hug: Faye initiates, Bubbles allows Faye into her heart. Coolant pump. Whatever.
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3195

At some point, around here: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3330
we see Faye initiating all sorts of physical contact with Bubbles.

More: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3339
We also see a glimmer of Bubbles perhaps admiring Faye's rump...?

Dang, get a room already, ladies: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3340

Geez, it's totally obvious to their friends -- note they say Faye likes Bubbles, not the other way around:
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3341

They started leaning on one another emotionally (and physically) much more after Faye punched Corpse Witch and the whole business with Bubbles' memories. Plus they were living together at that point; spending pretty much every moment together, yet still getting along wonderfully:
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3375

So I think the attraction just sort of grew simultaneously, and probably even started with Faye first, or at least Faye was definitely the one to break the touch barrier; Faye was just much better at being oblivious to her own feelings.

Bubbles isn't the sort of person to lie to herself, so she was well aware of how she felt and just... suppressed it as best she could. She resigned herself to the arrangement as best she could.

Even if Bubbles didn't have everything she wanted, she could claim to be happy, or at least content, which is better than she'd ever had before.
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3603

Faye oblivious again, and again, and again...
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3605

Amanda and Evie see the attraction and connection immediately, same as May, Momo, and, well, everyone:
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3660

Faye, still oblivious (and yes, this is realistic; people really are this clueless sometimes):
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3669

Bubbles is... "content". Sort of.
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3670


Bonus: the answer to the robot nipples question. At least one robot, anyway:

Poor May. Stuck in a cheap nippleless chassis.

Faye winking as she puts her arms around Bubbles is the cutest. Thing. Ever. And Bubbles blushing in return? Adorbs.

I think Bubbles must like Faye's butt a lot, given that butt grab! Yeah, Faye was definitely oblivious. Even right before they kissed she was like "Who knows what Bubs would think" omg Faye. FAYE. Come on now.

Whew. I'm just glad they kissed, and ...did other things.  :wink:

There's no doubting it now. The only doubtful thing is how things will proceed from here on. I really want things to go well...

To be honest, I can understand how Faye feels. It sounds crazy, but even though I wanted this to happen for so long, I was a little scared too. I was like wait, whoa, this is real. This is really real.

It's also cute how Faye and Marten imitate Bubbles' voice.  :-P

Even if Bubbles didn't have everything she wanted, she could claim to be happy, or at least content, which is better than she'd ever had before.

Yeah, not sure what Pintsize's, Punchbot's, and Barry's heads are made of, but it doesn't seem to suffer from fatigue cracking.

A couple of people, I think Emily and Sam, remarked that Pintsize's head looked soft or looked like plastic, and/or they somehow sensed imminent inappropriate behavior, so they instinctively punched him when they met.

Of course we're overthinking it; we're most likely seeing the Rule of Funny in action: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfFunny

Or arrrrrre we? Faye once mentions using a heat gun to deal with the dent in Pintsize's head when they're headed over to the apartment. Pintsize's chassis is military grade stuff, so maybe his head is made of a memory alloy that regains its shape when heated.

I’ve never been this emotionally invested in a relationship in QC before. I know my curiosity about what they did in bed is part of that. But some things are meant to be private. I need to stop wondering.

And at the risk of running afoul of the rules, I don’t wonder in an AI sense. I wonder in a I wonder how they touched and kissed each other sense. As I would if two humans had a relationship, one that grew so slowly and beautifully over time. I imagine what someone else did—that they just touched each other and said “so this is you.”

Although I am terribly curious about what happened after Bubbles said “we need to have a discussion. Later!”

Maybe I’m just curious even more because I’ve never seen two characters in QC kiss so passionately, so hungrily, and with such desire for one another! The kisses alone are enough to fog up my glasses.

 I think we can all admit that.

I don't admit that whatsoever. I have no curiosity whatsoever about how these characters bone. Or how anybody does that I'm not sleeping with personally, planning on it or that is initiating the discussion themselves.

And at the risk of running afoul of the rules...

Given that IICIH has just informed us that people are becoming uncomfortable with that line of inquiry and IICIH and pwhodges have locked down two other threads for this kind of speculation, I think it would probably be best to keep that curiosity to yourself. As natural as your curiosity is, it is just as natural that other people will be uncomfortable with it. So if you're concerned with stepping over a boundary, I'd suggest playing it safe and giving the rules a wider berth.

And if you're really really keen to talk about it, pick a willing buddy and message them. I can't promise you I would offer the most stimulating conversation or that I won't have my own boundaries separate from the forum, but I'm up for a chat from time to time.

The comic itself makes me somewhat uncomfortable. I may be interested in increasing my knowledge but I learned long ago not to inject my personal sentiments into things that do not require them. I don't begrudge anyone who does feel invested in such things of course (heck, my friends like to play a shipping card game when they come over) but they have nothing to do with me so I observe (or look away) from a distance.

That said, these are fictional characters, so I'm willing to state that I find ClintonxElliot compelling for undefinable reasons, if that's the direction Jeph decides to go.

And since I'm posting: Thank you to those who defined the terms for me =)

I meant we can agree that this portrayal is very different than others in terms of relationships in the comic, not that we can agree about my curiosity. I admit it’s mine alone, and it seems to cross the line, so I won’t mention it again.
