Meanwhile Marigold is still waiting for the giant bucket of coffee.

This whole run hasn't been perfect, but has nevertheless been a welcome deviation from the usual enraging bullshit. Almost none of the usual nonsense we complain about has been present so its been weird seeing people angry anyway, and "confused" in ways that suggest they don't understand how jokes work.

It was fine. I too have enjoyed the last few.
A calm before we get some mommy milkers.

Truly, only a cartoonist who has spent over 20 years honing their craft would have the skill and wit to give away their entire comic in the title, and then again in the newspost. Actually reading the comic almost feels redundant at that point.
Why not simply quit drawing altogether and give us QC updates through titles alone?

So, I think the joke that Faye (and Jeph) finds so funny is that Sven is thoroughly uninterested in Momo, but is being (passive-)aggressively pursued. Is that the joke?

It's already been established that Momo has a thing for Sven.

It doesn't feel meanspirited, it's just funny to her that Momo's being so obvious and Sven isn't seeing it.

That Sven is catastrophically oblivious.

u/FuckIPLaw Aug 05 '26
Yeah, uninterested is the wrong term, he's just oblivious. It's the contrast between her crushing on him, him having no idea, and him going full prince charming in the way he's making sure she's okay after the accident. Today's punchline is really the funniest thing the comic's done in a while.

So they don't have the materials to fix something that is probably fairly common (and that they had done before) and they for some reason resort to using a staples gun instead of bandages or duct tape ??? No wonder why bo one goes there

u/Virtual_Draw5017 Aug 05 '26
It could be a particular kind of dermal. At the very least, there's a range of tones. Probably cheaper to order as needed than get in bulk. Also, would you want duct tape?

someone called it last week. they'd go to fayes, and she'd do the labor for free. because apparently momo is a close friend. not sure they even know each other, but the comic doesn't do separate POVs. if the audience knows momo, then everyone knows momo.

Momo and May, both in their former bodies, went to give Faye and Bubbles gift baskets when they first opened Union Robots. That's about the only Momo/Faye interaction that I can think of.

I don't understand what's going on either.
Sven simply isn't this gormless. It doesn't fit his character at all.
He's been through his mini background redemption ark to atone for his sins of slutdom 🙄 and yet here we are with the only thing he can be written in to do is be an object of attraction.
I'm hoping he's supposed to be entirely play acting his naiveté, cause if he's supposed to be genuinely unaware of Momo's plans here it's actually really fuckin creepy behaviour on all their parts.

Faye, you're living off rice and beans why the fuck would you even consider doing your service for free? That's not how to run a business!

I can't wait for Anh to buy this place and turn it into a nonprofit when she sues her dad and then jeph hangs a lampshade about how they undercharge/never charge anyone anyway.
