MrNumbers:
... interesting thought, if the armor wasn't actually that thick, and Bubbles is already using a strong military chassis, is the point of it purely ablative?
Ooof. I wonder if it's actually reactive armor, which would probably make the prybar a really bad idea.
Is it cold in here?:

The worst kind of thing would be explicit and unrealistic. Slash fiction involving incompatible characters would be the other end of the scale.
In between, well, a good guideline is to remember they are Jeph's characters and not ours.

Isn't slash fic involving incompatible characters usually "explicit and unrealistic"?

I wrote that badly. Apologies.
Slash fic is the "Other end of the scale" from reasonable extrapolation.
oeoek:
"When, in your experience, have I ever been magical?"
Well, uhm... this and this springs to mind...

Bubbles has not demonstrated sexual attraction to anyone. Until and unless we get evidence otherwise, pairing Faye and Bubbles is the bad kind of shipping.

Despite being harassed several times, big difference. Dora clearly thinks Faye is attractive, but just because Faye doesn't return the sentiment doesn't mean she doesn't like women at all.
Concerning Bubbles/Faye as a romantic couple:
I think their relationship might be headed there, and I like how it's set up. It feels a lot more organic and real than the whole Marten Claire storyline; it's stumbling and making mistakes and trusting each other all the way through. Just lovely.
BenRG:
I have a feeling that Claire and Marten are wondering at the grunts and periodical metallic 'pop-clank' noises that they're hearing coming from Bubbles's and Faye's room. I'm expecting tomorrow to bring a strange lack of eye-contact and possibly an uncomfortable Marten saying something about "I'm cool with whatever you do in your own time but be careful, yeah?"
The opening panels of this comic are great. I don't know if this is Faye's fantasy image of how Bubbles would change with her armour coming off or if it's just Jeph's way of being ironic over the matter but it really does emphasise just how radically different fantasy and reality can be!
Bubbles, dear? You want me to be honest? You've always been magical but I think it's reasonable to separate the real magic of a good person from the fantasy magic that very rarely happens in this world.

Agreed; I wouldn't be surprised if several panels were damaged or buckled and will need repairs before they can be used again.
