WCDT Strips 3191-3195 (4th to 8th April 2016)

I like this comic - Bubbles, is in her core a very introverted person. She doesn't like the attention she's getting, and people looking at her makes her feel uncomfortable. Even those who might not hate her for who she is (red-haired sweet-tits and the person who tells the synthophobe(is there a word for this is this a thing if it is not I hope I made this word up) to shut up) still can't help but stare at her. No wonder she took so long to adjust to Faye's unique but utterly honest kind of affection.
Is it cold in here?:
I wonder what Bubbles was doing before she joined the armed services.

Imagine if instead of her speech, or leading up to it, we had her in this situation instead. The strip would be really powerful.
Or it could be Dora and Tai in this situation(Though being a womens college town you'd probably need to change teens to bitter old people who don't like what their town turned into or something).
What if instead of May, Dale walked into someplace with a now hiring sign up and got told they weren't hiring?
There's nothing really wrong with robots as a surrogate for discrimination, but when they are it's 'just a story', because robot discrimination isn't actually a real thing.

Bubbles' physical body is a product of necessity: in a world where all the tools are built for human use, the most versatile AI is wears an android body. While there's something to be said for single-purpose tools, neither myself nor Alton Brown cleave to such things. I would guess, on this basis, that she actually has an extremely varied set of skills.
Psychologically she's a pretty recognizable mess. It doesn't look like she feels she can reach out to anybody.
Is it cold in here?:
This is Jeph stretching himself. Historically he's mostly avoided heavy drama. If he adds to his repertoire many new possibilities will open up.
BTW anti-robot racists already exist, lining up in anticipation of the day they will have robots to hate. They've shown up here in fact.

Zoe, to your eyes, did Claire's speech look wrong? 'Cause I've been in a conversation very much like that one, where I was the Pintsize and Akima was the Claire.
