That was funny.

ASSUMING that the strip even goes 'there' and we don't know if it will, I do hope thing progress very slowly. Bubbles does not have issues, she has SUBSCRIPTIONS. As does Faye.

It might even be time for Faye to go back to seeing her psychiatrist.

Perfectly Reasonable:
I've said it before (when Jeph showed us Brün in a tux) so I don't mind saying it again:
I -would- like to see Bubbles in a tux.

Or, for that matter, Faye.
And AIs, being immersed in human culture, are also aware of human hotness criteria.

snufflebottoms:
Okay, NOW I think it is safe to say that Bubbles is attracted to Faye and It's not 100% platonic, even if it is mostly (which I seriously doubt it). It might just be romantic without a heavy sexual undertone but I think that Jeph is building to something and I think it will be fun to read about. Most relationships having varying levels of intimacy and affection anyway so why can't this one be complicated?   

I am kind of surprised that Clinton said Faye is super hot. That doesn't really seem like something he'd say.  Then again his character does end up in weird and random situations  and says stuff that makes it worse (like the tattoo on his date with Emily and countless other examples). I think it would be funny if, in his bad judgement of the situation with Bubbles, he hits on Faye. He really is Marten the second . . . 

Meanwhile, I REALLY want Elliot to find love. I don't care if it's with someone in the cast or someone new. I just love him so much and I want him to be loved.

Clinton's a foil; His character is really defined in its utility at the moment, which is that right now he exists to set up situations for other characters to bounce off/react to badly, in a way where he comes out as innocent. He basically exists to upset other people without it really coming across as his fault, and to be a victim.

It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.

Honestly, I wish it were played up a little less. It's a prop that's wearing a little thin for me, even though I still like Clinton himself.

BlueAmaranth:
It definitely seems like this is building up to some kind of romantic and/or sexual relationship between Bubbles and Faye, which...meh. I really like their friendship, and this feels like it's happening because romance is the "next step forward" in their relationship as they grow closer, as if a meaningful and intimate friendship can't be enough. I really value positive depictions of supportive, deeply meaningful friendships in fiction, the kind of friendship whose development gets its own arc, and now it seems like this one is going to turn into yet another romance. I accept that it's happening and it's not the worst thing in the world, but it's not how I would have preferred this to play out.
