Regarding what Faye and Marten went through, I would say yes.
@jwhouk: I always forget, that supporters get those comics early :/

That could actually be quite an interesting story. Can friendship survive a one-sided romantic attraction? That's a question more than a few people IRL have had to confront.

In my experience... sometimes. I've had friendships fall apart because the other person developed feelings I didn't reciprocate, I've had others that survived without a bump, and others that were bruised and drifted apart for a while but came back just as strong. It depends on the individual and the dynamics of the particular relationship.

I don't think that that's a good example. I'm pretty sure that Faye/Marten was mutual but that she consciously chose not to pursue it because she felt that she wasn't mentally or emotionally ready for a relationship of that nature. Faye's happiness was so important to Marten that he was able to step back and not push. Having Dora practically jump his bones within a few weeks probably made that easier.
When you think about it, that tells us quite a bit about Faye and her ability to control her desires and emotions.
It also tells us a bit about Mk1 Marten and his inability to take the initiative in relationships but that is neither here nor there.
What is really interesting is that Faye recognised where things were going and took the initiative to spike it before it went too far and her rejection would hurt. This is something that we should look out for in the current relationship arc as Faye seems very perspicuous about how people feel about her and proactive in her responses.
TinPenguin:
As someone currently going out with an asexual, one thing I've learned is that the common perceptions of 'friendships' and 'relationships' are not as fixed and immutable as we assume them to be. There is a lot of inbetween, and a lot of "I don't know what this is but it's good".

I still think she's probably better off not walking down the street without at least a pair of pants. Good thing she has the coat, or she might be stuck indoors waiting on getting an outfit delivered.
What could be fun would be if Bubbles decides to go for a more soft and feminine look; imagine her in a bright print dress, or something lacey and white. Or even just jeans and a slightly frilly blouse. It'd be much less expected than putting her in a plaid flannel top.

I don't think it's a two-tone myomer, I think it's an actual leotard-like final layer. It may just be Jeph's drawing style, but you can see a line of shadow under where the legs and sleeves end, indicating a transition line where light is being blocked by a thicker material. If it was all her "skin," albeit two-toned, there would be no difference in thickness and thus no shadow. It's the same as the way he draws shadows on clothed characters. I could be wrong, though, as the lines on the hips would seem to indicate uncovered articulation points. I'll be curious as to whether the question is answered later.
