Sam needs to work on her “planning under pressure” skills.

Sam needs to work on her alibi inventing skills.

Denise Webber

Yes, needs a more plausible plan B excuse, I'm just having trouble working one out that doesn't require some variation on "a robot bit me"

Faye hit the nail on the head. BUT BUBS. Daaaaaaaamn

Smazzie

All these experiences happened in my grandad's shop. No explanations needed.

This strip is interesting in lots of ways. The first thing that jumps into my mind is that Sam really doesn't want her dad having any reason to stop her interacting with Faye. I find myself wondering just how many close friends she really has outside of this weird bonding thing she's had with Faye; certainly we've never seen her with many kids of her own age, if any at all!

Knowing her, those vaccines would be a fine investment

Maybe Sam’s Dad will be like “Do you know how many antitoxin trips we’ve taken because of snakebites? She’s immune to venom now. I’m getting used to this”

A likely story

"I hurt myself, it was not intentional, this particular accident is not likely to happen again, please get me the first aid kit without asking questions I haven't already mentally screamed at myself on the way over here"

Chris Crowther

Something tells me Sam's dad is more likely to blame Sam than anyone else.

I want to be adopted by Faye and Bubbles, right now.

oh thank god it's not that serious I was having, like, secondhand anxiety for the last 24 hours, aahhhhh

So, what does everyone think? Faye has been crying over this matter: Yes or No? That aside, I find it intersting that Faye didn't follow up Sam's reason for doing what she did. That means that 'trimming my nails with a power tool' is a mad idea that's floated through her head on occasion!

Paul Rendell

Under no circumstance should Faye have left Sam alone with a running power tool, while I like her, she deserves everything she gets for this.

Glasses off, paper towel at hand, looking distraught... oh god, you're right.

And now I'm thinking "is another arguments coming from this between Bubbles and Faye? Concerning being responsible for others, maybe?"

Daniel Einspanjer

No more Faye/Bubbles arguments please! Every couple that has had multiple "on panel" arguments has broken up and I can't bear the thought. Those two need each other and are good for each other.

Laura-Kathleen Redman

Sam + Bitey = BFFs; touching a dremel is hardly the most questionable thing she has done thusfar.

Summer Sudbrink

Filing her nails! I knew it! :)

Dave Miller

To be fair, that is exactly how I trim my toenails.

Sorry I'm still focused on Bubbles and how's she's looking so good

I see too much of myself in Sam.

I don't think Dad is gonna kill anyone. He knows Sam, he probably has a hell of a first aid kit at home. I had a coworker see me cutting boxes, drawing the box-cutter toward myself instead of cutting away. "Oh my god, I don't want to have to tell your husband how you stabbed yourself in the stomach with a box cutter." "Pff, you won't have to tell him anything, he's seen how I cut things."

Perhaps. Leaving Sam alone was a pretty boneheaded move, it's fairly well-established that Sam doesn't have the best judgement where her own safety is concerned.

While I think losing your fingernail is its own punishment, I hope Sam's dad gets the whole truth here and doesn't blame Faye -too- hard. I know Faye did leave but she also asked Sam up-front if she could trust her to be alone with the power tool for a minute. (Clearly the answer is no.) I'm curious to see how it all plays out. Also I really wish I could hear Sam's age re-iterated somewhere, as I swear I remember it coming up and remember 2 different ages being the answer. And the archives are so massive I don't know how to find one of the comics.

After the extended run-up to the Faye/Bubbles ship I'm prepared for three weeks of QC strips featuring a small claims court legal process.

Here's a fact about metalwork, hot work generally, etc. You _will_ get injuries. I have so many scale burns on my hands from blacksmithing it's not even interesting. Been one-handing an angle grinder? Well you'll only do that until it jumps up and tries to cut your thumb off (that scar is a conversation starter). This, frankly, is how people learn shop safety. The smarter people learn most of it through being told, but everybody learns some of it through injuring themselves. It's the price of working with stuff that's fast, sharp, hot, or hard.

Andrew Daviel

Drilled right through my thumb this spring. Taped it up and kept working, but it hurt all day. I learned to keep my fingers out of the way decades ago, but the drill bit broke and the drill leaped sideways. Can't tell now, the nail's grown out - no interesting scar.

Lucanid Landman

I don't know - Jim's not a wholly unreasonable person, but he has been shown to be rather titchy when Sam is involved doing risky things. I think this could go either way - at the very least, regardless of what he does, he is probably going to be super pissed.

Paul Grodt

I sliced my finger pretty bad because I didn't understand how drilling through sheet-brass works. The drill bit dug-in and whipped the sheet around into my hand. Same thing: taped it up, barely a scar. Though I've frequently used a Dremel to grind my fingernails with no problem. Sam obviously just sucks.

Paul Grodt

First time I tried brazing, a blob of hot bronze dripped down and burned right though my sneaker as if it wasn't even there. Agreed: Scars teach you real good. That said, don't mess around with the eyeballs.
