WCDT Strips 3661-3665 (22nd to 26th January 2018)
Cornelius:
Well, at least Faye'll see what Amanda and Evie were on about. Evie is asking the right questions. To be honest, consent or no, there have been times I could have used someone asking me those questions.
Tyr:
If Evie uses the phrase, "let's go deeper, deeper..." I'm gonna start watching the background for a bespectacled woman with purple hair, or a pink-haired woman in a finely-tailored suit...
BenRG:
This is an intriguing strip in many ways. Firstly and most importantly, it shows that, for whatever reason (I'm betting low self-esteem), Faye has never confronted her own feelings for Bubbles before. However, yes, she wants Bubbles for herself. That's selfish, true but it is is also a fact that most relationships find their birth in the realisation that you want this person in your life.
I also suspect that panel 8 reflects what I said in my comment on yesterday's strip: Faye genuinely has issues with the idea that she has any right to approach Bubbles about her feelings; that lack of self-worth is clearly holding her back. That's sad but it doesn't entirely surprise me, given Faye's past travails.
Finally, I have to agree with iicih: I'm feeling a little uncomfortable with Evie analysing and diagnosing Faye without her informed consent. It's pushing on the boundaries of professional ethics a little. At least she isn't taking notes or suggesting new prescriptions!
Oh, and Amanda is being a typical little sister by giggling at her sister's issues. She still has a bit of growing up to do!
--- Quote from: haikupoet on 24 Jan 2018, 19:28 ---The thing that gets me here is that Bubbles has outright told Faye she has feelings for her. Awkwardly, unintentionally, but unambiguously. Like, Faye has absolutely no excuse to not realize where Amanda and Evie are going with this.

Like I said above, there is a part of Faye that cannot believe it or at least cannot believe that she is the right choice.
Shjade:
--- Quote from: ChipNoir on 24 Jan 2018, 20:54 ---On the otherhand, it's very obvious that Evie see's this as the perfect opportunity to document a human/AI romantic relationship as it unfolds in real time, and the last thing these two needs is for Evie to go Steve Irwin on them.

Yeah, this is really only increasing my concern about what impact she'll have on their relationship. :x
Not in an "I think this is bad for the comic" way, though. It definitely fits the character.
Frankquith:
Speaking as someone who's brother completed a PhD (in Engineering, but nonetheless), it is completely fair that Evie is going way too psychoanalytical. Depending on how far through it she is, her PhD might be most of what Evie thinks about, if not almost her entire life right now.
There were weeks where I almost didn't see him, despite us living at the same address.
