The Bakery cast was a lot of the core cast all muddled together. Thinking about that group, I kind of don't see Faye working there. While that would definite bring more of the support cast back into focus, Elliot, Renee, and Hipster lumberjack aren't really anything and I'm not sure Jeph will want to draw all those baked goods.

Padma seems to imply that their personalities are at least somewhat similar in the final panel of strip 1859. And the few times we do see Renee she seems to be kinda Faye-ish. I don't see Faye and Padma's personalities as being similar, either. To be blunt Padma is way nicer than Faye and easy-going. Faye's crass and hard to get along with even for people who like her.

First, WELCOME, NEW PERSON!
Second, good link. You are superior to me making statements I only partially remember.
Third, though, is where I'm not on-board. I'm remembering the business negotiations between the Secret Bakery and CoD. Those were between Faye and Padma, and in that moment, the two showed the same personality traits, headstrong, and quick to dismiss nay-sayers, even though the people telling to slow their roll were 100% correct, because neither character had any authority to argue their company's position.
Point being, Padma wasn't as easy-going as your comment might suggest. She had a side to her, though the whole 'sick grandma' thing softened it for sure.
Perfectly Reasonable:

Actually, I was watching a video on YouTube last night where a seriously freaked-out woman was telling her colleague in some detail about all the human/dinosaur porn there is on the Internet.

You people scare me. (backs away slowly. Google is NOT my friend...)
The point I was trying to make is that what we know as Robot Combat is going to be pretty lame in the QC-verse. There it will be dialed Up To Eleven. Do we really want to see Pintsize in a Faye-designed murder chassis? Dominating some hapless bot? I don't think this is what we mean by "Strong AI"...
ReindeerFlotilla:
I think its a good thing that Jeph, having created a set of clones of his main cast, proceeded to give them (at the least the two who got real screen time) traits that made them their own people. Padma was Faye, with a dash of Dora, but she was also just Padma. Elliot was Marten, but not. Hangdog, and a bit clueless, but not either of those things in exactly the same way as Marten.
It would have been easy for Jeph to just drop the gag and run with it.
chaospersonified:
It seemed only in small ways that they were so similar. Elliot had the attitude, the 'oh, but the one I love is disinterested' of Marten, but also his own set of traits, kind, quiet, large and looming despite the personality.
Padma was in charge; Renee was snarky, but for the most part, in every other way, they were different people in every way. The 'alternate universe' line was largely a one-off comment that every strip since has proven more and more incorrect.
