Guess it must be frustrating to see how often ones' knee-jerk antipathy and prejudices against members of a despised out-group turn out to be perfectly justified by the behaviour of fictionalized descriptions of members of said group in serialized comedic media.

For me, todays comic is more about Faye and Bubbles.
Faye noticed immediately that something is bothering Bubbles, and the three last panels clearly show her in a state of worry. I think it's safe to say that, while Faye does care very deeply for all of her friends, Bubbles holds a special place in her heart.
My hypothesis is that this week's comics could very well be a setup for Bubbles to question if there can be any chance for her and Faye (or any human for that matter) to be more than friends. Think about it: Back when we first met Bubbles she really was little more than a walking tank. She was Corpse Witches bodyguard/enforcer.
Faye helped her to become so much more than that. Removing her armor and changing her hairstyle are clear signs (at least to me) that Bubbles is trying to further grow as a person, to open up to others, especially to Faye, and the main reason for those changes is her deep friendship with Faye.
Then along comes someone like Evie, and Bubbles (with no cruel intentions on Evie's part) is compared to a tank, AIs in general are compared to weapons (of mass destruction no less). Almost every sentence in their brief dialogue reminds Bubbles in a blunt way, that she is in fact an artificial mind inhabiting an artificial body… After that, Bubbles herself says that she does not eat. She is not human. Where does that leave her and her feelings for Faye?
Maybe Bubbles has to chew on those thoughts for a while.

That the one with last summer's hit-single "People in this country have had enough of experts"?
pwhodges:
Ugh - that photo pollutes the forum.

I sorta hope Faye dumps the girls and goes back to see Bubbles. Guess we'll see ...
