Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT Strips 3521 to 3525 (10th to 14th July 2017)
BenRG:
Something tells me that the most disturbing take-away from this conversation, at least for Bubbles, is just how difficult it is to persuade a relative stranger that she and Faye aren't in some way intimate! Basically, what Clinton has said is an equivalent of: "You mean she isn't your girlfriend? Wow! Who knew? I mean, from your behaviour... Nah, forget it!"
Jeph's footer is interesting too. I get why Faye would be angry with Clinton but why with Bubbles too? It's the first time he's officially stated that Faye's feelings are a bit ambiguous on the matter to the point where she might be upset by Bubbles loudly insisting that they're 'just friends'.

A few months back on Twitter, Jeph said that he was going to use more 'cartoony' styles to reflect astonishment and other exaggerated reactions.
Is it cold in here?:
It is illuminating to reflect that Clinton's reaction may be a common one that the new business partners and close friends will have to deal with again from others.
Is it cold in here?:
Notice that Clinton is OK with the idea of an inter-species romantic relationship. Not completely OK, because then he would never have said "No judgement from me!". OK enough to ask normal questions like how long the misconstrued relationship has been going on.
Given his fascination with AIs Clinton may be more accepting than average. On the other hand he didn't treat Momo as a person at first.

Hmm, poor Bubbles! But then again, not sure what that diagram would look like.
As to Faye's sexual preferences: yeah, both Pintsize and Dora harassed her, and Tai expressed open attraction (before the whole Dora/Tai relationship) but turning them down doesn't mean she wouldn't consider a relationship with ladies, or lady AI for that matter.
(not all bisexuals are as flirty as Dora)
I would really like a Faye/Bubbles relationship - they're both interesting characters, and the whole thing had a very slow buildup, so it's believable. I also don't think that the whole friends becoming lovers thing would devalue their friendship; it just would work so much better since they already know and trust each other way more than they do anybody else.

I think he's quite fascinated by the concept and he doesn't strike me as a bigoted person (he's an ass, a stalker and very annoying, but he seems quite open-minded)
Is it cold in here?:
The other interesting thing there is that inter-species lovers are commonplace enough that it was the first conclusion someone would jump to.
