Yeah! Bubbles couldn’t do a worse job than Sweetheart is doing!
(Mind you, if I tried a rampage it would go exactly like Sweetheart’s, including the church hall bit.)
Neither did I, until I read your comment and the penny dropped. Briefly forgetting SH is actually “dismantled” right now, I actually started wondering whether there might be a Department of Disembowelling I’m just failing to remember…
And I’m pretty sure it’s happened after that again as well. It could be that it’s since the comic has come into colour that you find the difference more striking.
I actually find Unity less recognizable when the blond half is facing towards us, even if it’s still a 3/4 view- I’m so used to the dark side with the curly hair that seeing mostly pale skin and spiky hair throws me off.
Belated reply- In “Railway Children” while Unity is matching wits with GODOT she appears several times in both right profile and left profile, sometimes in the same strip. The effect is startling,and possibly a bit symbolic.
Hacked BY the power of love.
Or the Princess of Lovetron summoned the Silver Crystal of Funk and did some reality alteration, but its possible I’ve been reading too many of Shadowjacks sailor moon summaries…
Now Bubbles claims …
Service isn’t her joy!
And Sweetheart aims …
To do more than destroy!
Now Bubbles claims service isn’t her joy!

The drone’s the toy both will want to employ,
But the ‘bot said “Not!”
The power lovetron, is a bubbly thing
make-a “the man” weep, make a zombie sing
change with funk, so she’ll tell him to shove
That’s alien power, that’s the power of love
When the dog is at the potluck meal,
And Lovetron aligns with Mars,
Then Jones will guide the cooler.
With mojo from the stars.
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarian!
The age of Aquarian!
Aqua-a-arian!
Bubbles is now understanding,
There’s more to life than providing.
Something to make the Man nervous,
Her joy is no longer service.
Tigerlily’s revelation,
Gives the bot true liberation.
Also: Love the “Aquarian” reference! (For the Latin-impaired: “Aquarius” means “water-bearer”. The original word has a male-gendered ending, but “Aquarian” dodges that by shifting to an English Suffix.)
Best I can come up with is that “Aquarian” means “born under the sign of Aquarius.” Which proves nothing.
(I’d believe Bubbles is an Aquarius. Quirky and unconventional…unusual sense of humor…free-spirited…charming and well-behaved…friendly and well-liked. I’m cribbing this from the Wikipedia entry.)
Well she’s also used ‘Only Joy’ before when context makes it clear she was talking about Unity. I think that the ‘only’ of that phrase isn’t nearly as specific as you might think.
Hang on, think a minute. Maybe her version of “service” will change to “servicing?” I’m imagining she may get to be pretty popular. Unity might enjoy being serviced now and then.
And can we even be sure she’s not just trying to please Tigerlily? Note the Tigerlily-esque font of “Not”, and, erm, the service that Tigerlily just requested was that Bubbles stick it to the man. So she did. Which presumably provides her some joy!
Tigerlily, I salute you. Your madtech skills know no bounds.
And then I’m running very fast in the opposite direction. Bubbles is going to blow any second now, and I do not want to be in the path of that tsunami.
Coming soon to the SyFy Channel ~ “Tiger Lily Jones,The Robo Whisper”
Uh oh, I sense a rampage in her near future…
I feel bad for whatever gets in her way. Either they’re going to become extremely damp, or worse…

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
And Tiger Lily Jones’ status as my favorite character from anything ever is thus cemented even more firmly.
Word.
OMFG Hell has frozen over!
What just happened?
…Funk.
An apt summary.
All power to the Bubbles Liberation Movement!
Turning into a real chattercooler, isn’t she? Never heard her say more than five words before…
A 20% gain in vocabulary!
I didn’t know who the darker black girl was for a second.
(…Have we seen Unity from just that side before? Have we seen her from a single side before?)
Neither did I, until I read your comment and the penny dropped. Briefly forgetting SH is actually “dismantled” right now, I actually started wondering whether there might be a Department of Disembowelling I’m just failing to remember…
Right in the first few updates there was a shot of her from that side:

did Tigerlily hack bubbles? or is it the power of love?

Very well done.
Oh my… Tigerlily has set Bubbles loose!
I don’t think Bubbles will rampage worse than Sweetheart.

Many people seem to think service is not her joy now. But the most we can say for now is that service is not her only joy.

Wait, how does this make sense? Not that long ago Bubbles was head of a major company! She herself was “The Man”!
but it was not her joy

Bubbles pulled a Groot
Well. The only thing she did was confirm she may have MORE joys than service alone xD
This… is heartbreaking. And my first time reading it.
