Ah, Pintsize, how I've missed you. #comicrelief
BenRG:
So, we know what we're doing this week: Jeph is catching us up on how Marten is reacting to all the changes in the group since the time skip.
I quite liked this conversation because of how easy it is. Marten as a character has many problems but prejudice has never been one of them. To him, Bubbles is just his room-mate, not a seven-foot tall killing machine. He's even got used enough to her for her size to no longer intimidate him! It's also in character that he assesses the level of Bubbles' welcome by how it benefits others. That's another character quirk of his.
FWIW, I have to agree with Marten here: A romance between him and Faye would have been a road flare - Hot, spectacular and ultimately short lived, not leaving behind anything viable in its wake.
Of course the real reason why Bubbles is welcome is she knows just the right way to disable Pintsize without killing him. With luck, the constant negative reinforcement will eventually alter his behaviour!

I don't think that Bubbles is ready to admit it aloud to herself just yet, except in unguarded moments, let alone discuss it with someone else. On the other hand, I can see Faye talking to Marten about how he knew Claire was the one and applying that to her own feelings.
oeoek:
bLeRf!
(had me in stitches)
KnightRider007:
"It's so attractive when a man dodges emotional labor" Wow, a trait that can be just as easily applied to both sexes, suddenly the basis of a sexist accusation? I really don't think "Not wanting to be the one to attempt to establish a relationship" is in any way a male-exclusive trait...
BenRG:
I've been thinking about panel 5. I suspect that Bubbles has never heard the phrase 'Rad' before but, thinking about it, it definitely applies to Faye. Her spontaneous smile also tells me that she's decided that it fits her best friend very, very well! :-)
