^ This.  The police department having an AI in a heavily armored military chassis as a LEO would definitely send the wrong message to the community, and it matters little that Bubbles wouldn't abuse her position.  What matters is that the public would perceive a police officer in a chassis like Bubbles's as a sign that the police want to use unnecessary force against the civilians.

Grin I do like Hot Bubs; spoilers and flames always look bolted on, and she nails it!

As for future story lines, enough to pick;

-The Elliot-Clinton-Brun-Emily knot slipping into matching sets (all four have my sympathies, and I really hope something will work out).

-Everyman dad Jim with out of the box ex fetish model Veronica and precocious kid Sam finding a middle ground between baking cookies and suppressing a certain past (I know I once tried to be a bookkeeper leave a slightly more bohemian life behind; normality only goes so far)

-Precocious kid Sam and curious Momo discovering the world and finding their place in it (loved the Momo-Sam heart to heart, or Sam scrubbing salesperson's ears).

-Claire's mom gone wild (See 2, but opposite direction)

-As for Faye and Bubbles; The Robo-Gym-and-Sporting-Club formerly know as The Skate Park, now under legal flag, might very well combine robo-fights and a general repairshop under one roof. Punchbot's alter ego already has the needed paperwork, it might not take forever to find some above board investors to restart a recently shut down profitable enterprise.

-Hanners and Emily are both more or less slumbering giants. At some point, they might do something else than serve coffee and tea (enter space station number 2, or perhaps deep sea station 1 (and no, it does not have to be like this)

I always thought that Veronica's "You look more like a Clarice to me" line on the Martendad wedding was a callback to an obscure past of Clairemom's, and until proven otherwise it remains my headcanon.

On what's next for the giant valkyrie and her pugnacious companion, we could go another way. How about AI sculptures and other artistic metalwork? I fail to see why an AI wouldn't want to be an art model.

Akima:

--- Quote from: Mr_Rose on 13 Feb 2017, 16:50 ---Bubbles official uniform shall be… a can of chrome spray paint and an octagonal badge.

"Come quietly or there will be....trouble!"I don't think Northampton, MA quite requires the law-enforcement approach of Old Detroit.

WareWolf:

--- Quote from: BenRG on 12 Feb 2017, 23:32 ---Finally, I think I know what the rest of this week is going to be: It's the old Questionable Content tradition of two characters walking through Northampton and talking with some kind of quip in the last panel. I suspect that Bubbles and Faye are going to want to come to some kind of grip on what has happened to them and what they're going to do next. I think that we're also going to get an insight into their differing mindsets and approaches to the problems they face.

I think you called it, if today's strip is any indication.
