Oh man that's lovely

Michael Boettger

Oh God, Bubble's expression in the last panel. I'm in tears.

Peter McDevitt

and then Faye gets hit by a bus, because that's the direction 2020's going so far.

Bonnie Fiddis

I needed something heartwarming like this right now. Thanks.

I would still want the memories back. Why? They're mine. I bled for them, worked for them, yearned for them, burned for them. It might change how I am now, but they are my history-and with them, I will build my future.

You know something important just happened when there isn't a punchline.

This is incredibly poignant. (also my brain is just going "crab crab crab crab" now)

This was beautiful. Also, "FitzSimmons" is a subtle touch. Well done!

Damn it, Jeph. It's not very often a comic strip brings tears to my eyes.

Thanks, Jeph. I needed that today.

My SO with PTSD would be unable to read the arc where Bubbles' memory was erased. It would be too painful for her. She cannot throw away her trauma like Bubbles did. No one truly can. Is it similar to having an arc where someone in a wheelchair can miraculously walk again? Is it ableist? I'm not sure. What does everyone think? EDIT: I'm not trying to be critical of Jeph, I just want to hear other people's opinions. Does anyone with PTSD want to chime in about their experience reading this comic?

Captain Button

"gonna dip"? I assume that is that is how the Damn Kids Today say "taking off"? Never heard that one before.

I'm not sure you can make a perfect mapping between a human with PTSD (I have problems with dissociation and hyper-vigilance, so I'm at least tangential to the topic) and an AI with Bubbles' experience. I mean, I guess none of us know! But, point being, to run with your analogy, it would be completely reasonable for there to be a story in which a formerly disabled AI (do we still call them robots? I'm losing track) was repaired, or got a new body, to the point that it's basically happened already. So... sure, Bubbles can do what Bubbles can do. I can't help but notice that Faye hasn't truly thrown away her trauma, to use your phrase. Of course, it's entirely possible that Bubbles hasn't, either. Just because you say you're fine doesn't mean you are, or always will be, or will be in every situation.

The fu-.... 'so wants to give bubble a bear hug run for a few minutes.'

Joseph Bonnar

Jeph, that is incredibly sweet. Wonderfully sweet. So sweet that I'm gonna get diabetes...

Dammit I didn't need to cry tonight.

Shawn K. Younkin

Awwww.... Claire being all "I love you" warms my heart then Bubbles just goes ahead and makes it a fire. Sooooo good.

FeyOne

Bubbles is the absolute best.

Simon Green

Butts are still cool though.

I was in a toxic relationship when I lived in Ithaca. It was so toxic, I went to spend a weekend in my hometown at my sister's house... and spent several months there before getting my own apartment in my hometown and going back to Ithaca to get my things and my cat. (My only regret was being away from my cat for so long.) There are many times I think about what my life would be like if I had never gotten into that relationship and moved to my hometown. Within that first year, I met my best friend and my girlfriends. I had to put up with a lot of toxic crap... but I wouldn't change it, either.

Holy Shit Faye is the luckiest woman alive!

Fayebles FOREVA!

Yonatan Zunger

Also, wonderful thing in this sequence: Faye and Bubbles had a really scary moment. Faye freaked out and ran away. Bubbles gave her space to do that. Faye talked it out, calmed down, and realized everything was actually OK and she was just having her own trauma reaction. She went back and they had an open and loving conversation. Relationship goals right here. :)

Ashley Thomas

i just love bubbles so much

Wow, Faye growin up!

TwoRavens

BUBBLES. WHY YOU CUT SO MANY ONIONS RIGHT NAO?!?!

Bagge

...that sounds just a tiny bit like forshadowing

skinnybdink

am kinda hoping the next comic is just a single sustained reaction shot of Faye?

SilverbackRon

Indeed! I was afraid this would devolve into "Faye turns to the bottle to bury her self-doubts". This is huge progress for her.

happy pride month, damn

First thing this morning I get teary-eyed. Thanks Jeph.

Jeph, if Faye ran off before that lovely pay off, I swear I'll break social distancing guidlines and cry all over you.

Wolfger

"gonna dip"?

David Howe

Bubbles earning some SERIOUS relationship brownie points there....

Patreon comes right after xkcd in my list of morning webcomic links...that was weird and appropriate.

Matt

Awwwww. I'm not crying, YOU are.

TubaGinger

Dip out; leave; depart. Obscure slang, but I’ve heard it before.

I say all the time that I wish I could hug people better... like hug so well it fixes people's problems. I feel like Bubbles got hugged better.

David Pipes

"Fitzsimmons"? lol

panel 5. sooooo cute.

Joe

I doubt anyone including Bubbles would disagree. but she simply said she wouldn't TRADE what she's found to get them back.

I just want a poster of Emily with the top half of her face above the table saying "crab crab crab crab"
