Jeph, HOW do you always get the expressions so perfect?!? The last fram alone: I do the sly-but-harmless thing that Marten does all the time, my best girlfriend does the thing that Faye is doing all the time, and my husband does the mouth thing that Bubbles is doing all the time. YOU NAILED IT!

Hugh Eckert

POE OPE

enchantedsleeper

Or dtf, let's be real xD

Philip Masters

Also, her requests/demands for a drink from him look rather like Liz-grade flirting — though sure, she also wanted booze.

enchantedsleeper

Bubbles is no soft touch, though. If Faye had been harmed by Sven or had been truly wronged in the relationship, I doubt they would find the body.

Philip Masters

I think that Bubbles’s positivity about Sven is mostly just down to her being a good person. She really does try to think the best of people whenever possible.

enchantedsleeper

No-one said anything about her being romantically attracted to Sven - sexually, sure. Marten said "Liz, I think you're projecting" because of the way she was so keen for Sven to make out with Moray. She was displacing the desire to make out with him onto Moray. Sven also wasn't looking at her, so angrily accusing him of that is like... okay, were you the one looking though (which she pretty evidently was)

enchantedsleeper

Kinda but not really? The last time they met up, it was actually friendly. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3995 Well, mostly xD

Mark Eichin

(re Himalayan salt) she could turn pink for a few hours - not because she's got that much salt by volume, just as a diagnostic

Ursus Ridens

...but normal table salt is (often) iodized and has sodium aluminosilicate as an anti-caking agent. Those things are fine for humans but might or might not be good for Moray. I think that kosher salt is purer sodium chloride.

Ursus Ridens

Neologism ^^ of the month, at least!

Carl Fink

The tit joke was that Sven caused her nipples to become erect. At least, that's how apparently everyone but you read it.

Carl Fink

I suspect Graydon Armstrong was thinking of Kosher=circumcised.

pseudoclever

Thank you for your research 🫡

pseudoclever

Faye has been mad at Sven for 4000+ comics. That might be the single longest stable "relationship" in QC

Todd Ellner

But does she have fins and scales?

Todd Ellner

It's a committed relationship couple thing

Todd Ellner

Sven is not looking for the drama and headaches of gremboning an under socialized ternager

William Cole

FLUORIDATION!

Joe

& Gen Buck Turgidson was trying to keep the commies from seeing the big board!!

Joe

Liz is less bi than dgaf, I think.

Joe

it's the the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids!!

Joe

ruid??

Not that Patrick Foltz

Definitely sea salt

Clifton Royston

Yes, Sven seems to be looking for a serious relationship now, especially because he's had to face up to what he lost with Faye, and he also seems to see Liz as far too young for him.

Clifton Royston

Also offending Bubbles by staring at Bubbles' boobs and referring to them in objectifying terms.

James A. Whitney

...how would that be a dick joke?

enchantedsleeper

Oh, I forgot that, yes.

enchantedsleeper

That's what I was thinking of! "A pleasant deployment", awww Bubbles :D <3 I wonder if they had a conversation about Faye's "assocation" with Sven not long after that. *clicks next comic (and again, and again)* Oh, this is LITERALLY RIGHT before Sven (re-)met May! Faye really is responsible (directly or indirectly) for all of the best sex Sven's had, huh xD

Steve McSheffrey

Better to watch to make sure it doesn't go into permanent regret territory.

legobil

Also Martens 🤣

legobil

Fluid, druid….?

BookBeard

I'm not sure the bisexuality is much of a surprise to her, given how enthusiastic she was about seeing sexy Elliot pics. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5297

BookBeard

Technically they met slightly before that but the interaction was cut short by a mortified Momo, but yes May definitely knew about Sven/Faye. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3996 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4005

BookBeard

I believe the only time we've seen Bubbles and Sven interact prior to the club was at Dora and Tai's engagement party. I don't recall Bubbles and Faye discussing the relationship with Sven at any point, but given the openness between them it seems reasonable to assume that the subject came up off-screen. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3996

Graydon Armstrong

She blushed once around Sven because she thought he was staring at her, and she objected to that. She blushed again when Sven was present when she misinterpreted “projecting” as commenting about her nips showing through her shirt. She's also been known to blush in the past about any suggestion of her sexuality. She may be aromantic with a thing for boobs and that's it.

allanfranta

Maybe use "tank" as in gas? Does Moray get gas? "When one needs to top off their tank, Claire is the one who you will thank!"

allanfranta

One may not want it after one starts trying, too. It's confusing, limiting and frustrating.

Andrea Andrew

May knows. Sven literally met her while venting about Faye.

Carl Cravens

Didn't stop my parents. Except it was 31 and 19 when they married. And yeah, it was a mistake... she got swept away by a tall, handsome guy who was twice divorced already and would sleep with any woman who was breathing. He was a lot of Sven in that regard.

Abhayakara

Huh, "do not perceive me" seems more like a Yay objection.

Darren Franzen

In humble appreciation of the great @BookBeard… When you reach for some salt, so your systems don’t fault, That’s a Moray!

ValdVin

Tangential, not about Liz: If Joe over at DofA can actually go from what he was to being a real boyfriend, maybe Sven can do this too.

Frank Wales

General Jack D Ripper talked about his precious bodily fluids, and Colonel 'Bat' Guano warned about answering to the Coca-Cola company

panpolypuff

When some creep on their alt Says “I’d refill *her* salt,” That’s a Moray!

enchantedsleeper

I think it's nice that Bubbles is positive towards Sven. Have we ever seen Faye and Bubbles discuss Sven in-comic? (It feels like a conversation we've seen, but I also can't think when). I get the sense that Bubbles appreciates what he was to Faye, and what the (not-technically-a-) relationship meant to her even if it ended badly and she doesn't look back fondly on it.

enchantedsleeper

I definitely think she and Sven could bone down if they're both into it, but I absolutely don't get that vibe from Sven.

enchantedsleeper

She was blushing a lot around Sven and was very very keen for him to make out with Moray (who I think she also has a thing for but it's less physical and more personality). Conclusions were drawn 😅

enchantedsleeper

We basically concluded she's boob-sexual from wanting to "ride Evan like a power-loader", yeah.

enchantedsleeper

I'm not sure if she would really... care? Sven has boned a lot of people xD For that matter, May doesn't know about Faye and Sven. It was a long time ago.

enchantedsleeper

May was into that. If Liz isn't, it's not going to become a thing. (Especially since we're assuming Sven would sleep with Liz when I really don't think he would).

enchantedsleeper

I don't think Sven is into Liz 😅

Sparky

Liz deserves who she wants - we were all in her position once.

Charlotte Grubbs

I mean, I think that self-knowledge is a big part of Faye's "oh honey"? Because she Been There, Done That, and knows what a terrible mistake it is.

Graydon Armstrong

Well yes, but that's how double entendres work.

Opus the Poet

He's in LEO with Station.

Opus the Poet

What was his name again? I recognize the quote from Dr. Strangelove but can't remember the character's name.

Opus the Poet

She's requesting salt, kosher is a coarser grade than table salt.

Graydon Armstrong

> Kosher or regular? Was that a dick joke?

Graydon Armstrong

Adjacent is still sideboob contact. Maybe with some subtle finger movement and a shared glance. Uh oh, this is how I start accidentally writing literotica.

Graydon Armstrong

I'm guessing kosher. It's uniodised, and the grain shapes have a higher surface area to volume ratio so dissolve more readily.

Graydon Armstrong

Except is she susceptible? That's not really what I took from it. And it seems a bit gross to tease someone about being into someone they aren't.

Duncan

Six, six, and four. You have mastered what I have coined the Moiku

Duncan

'lo Will... Why not say hi?

Duncan

Or idolized?

Vince Smith

I was referencing a song....

Shawn K. Younkin

I highly doubt Marten, Faye, and Claire will let Liz make that mistake.

Bagge

Liz is eminently 'oh honey'-able

Yelling Bird

Ok, see, now we've gotta see how Liz withstands... The SHEEN...

Yelling Bird

Since when do infatuation and good ideas travel together?

Green

I bet she'd like Himalayan pink salt :)

Rémi Beaulieu-Dubé

It is not a good idea. But young socially awkward people make mistakes!

Sammitch

He's enjoying the experience of being stuck halfway through a brick wall. :3c

Todd Ellner

He didn't make a pass at anyone. Gremzabeth literally dragged him up to Moray and told her to make out with him.

ValdVin

Isn't Sven 28 and Liz 19? Is this a good idea for her? (Genuine question.)

ValdVin

Okay, but she'll have to answer to the Morton Salt Company!

Brent

Glad I'm not the only one lmao

Aeryn Monet

Faye: "He's a fun time in my experience but you can do bet-....actually, maybe give it a shot??"

SpookyPenguin

doink

Todd Ellner

You really can't blame Sven for any of this. He didn't perv on Gremzabeth or Moray

BookBeard

She needs electrolytes. It's what Morays crave.

Todd Ellner

That's not a nice thing to say about Will

Todd Ellner

Probably needs to remain isotonic

Mitsuki Ayane

"oh you sweet summer child" Faye Whitaker 2024 ~<3

Sleepy John

I hope Sven doesn't develop a thing for Liz's arm sockets the way he did for May's hip joint. Blech.

Vince Smith

When in the club, late at night And the Sven, gets denied That's a Moray!

AlexKorobeiniki

Have some sympathy, Faye. Lord knows she's not the first one to fall victim to Sven's charms...

Sean Kinlin

And whether it should be iodized.

Sean Kinlin

Moray needs to replenish her Precious Bodily Fluids.

Hawkeye

Moray needs salt huh. Now everything is making sense. Wonder if she prefers fine or coarse salt…

Valerie Kaplan

In orbit.

William Cole

I like Thomas's idea, but my money is also on "not landed yet".

Miyaa

We will probably not see Pintsize against he literally crashes the Dora-Tai wedding.

Minzoku Bokumetsu

voting for "not landed yet"

Thomas Halpin

Did he make a nuisance of himself Stalking somebot who was vanishing without a trace?

BookBeard

I know the Yay/Roko/Moray plot is the main story at the moment, but I still want to know where Pintsize ended up after Bubbles bounced him. Is he still sulking behind the club? Did he wander off to get banned from some other bar? Has he not landed yet?

SilverbackRon

I love the little gremlin just dangling over the arm of the couch in panel one.

SilverbackRon

Once seen, it becomes truth.

Davus Otho

I forgot where we saw that Liz was into girls, but I guess her interaction with Evan would count. I mean, it makes sense, but it never bliped on my radar.

Miyaa

My problem was I couldn’t figure out what rhymes with “fluid.”

Bill Silvia

I don't know why I assumed it was Hanners

Andrea Andrew

Faye never found out about May and Sven, did she? Well, that’s awkward. Liz becoming a real life shipper. 🤣

Wynn Donivan

👀👀

Aerin Moriarty

I know Bubbles hand is ADJACENT to Fayes boob but I'm taking a creative interpretation and perceiving that as Bubbles gently cupping Faye's boob.

William Cole

Gremlins having high IQ but low WILL checks out.

Clifton Royston

Bubbles' face in last panel is even better than Faye's.

Brendan Luster

you don't know you don't want it until you try. before that it's just bias. very correct bias...

Shawn K. Younkin

Faye and Bubble's faces in the last panel is peak!

BookBeard

When the slime girl's immune To what makes gremlins swoon That's A Moray!

Clifton Royston

Oh hooray! I was expecting to have to wait until tomorrow for a new comic! Liz, babe, you may have just discovered you're bisexual after all. It can be a bit of a shock coming from either orientation, but it's not a bad thing to learn.
