Slowly, everybody is aware of the situation, except Faye.

Nice to see an indirect appearance from Pintsize as well; he doesn't seem to get much comic time nowadays and I must say I've been missing his comedic moments :P

So it seems Union Robotics hasn't delivered Pintsize's order...
Yet...

Basically, yeah: It's a classic romcom plot framework. I wonder if Jeph's just going to knock it down quickly or if he's planning on play this out, either seriously or satirically.

It's also a classic tragic plot. Unrequited love is a powerful plot device. Given how much Jeph has kicked Faye around in this comic since the end of the ClaireAndMarten arc, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him kick Faye around some more. It would make Claire look good: this time because she saw the possibility for an affair between Bubbles and Faye but kept her mouth shut. It would make Amanda and Evie look like the kinds of shippers Jeph doesn't like (and thus showing us why he doesn't like said shippers.) It would make an interesting counterpoint to ClaireAndMarten: "OK, so you don't like happy romantic plots? Great, I'll give you an unhappy romantic plot instead and we can see how you like that!"
Oh, and spiteful character abuse. Never forget the potential for pure and unwarranted sadism.

--- End quote ---
I think that was successfully changed through 2011 and the following years. Now, instead of "actively dislikes" I suggest "tolerates with studied indifference".

Hmmm...
I was not aware of that!
Sounds like the "Oldfield School of Fandom" to me.
"Yes, these people are responsible for me living the lifestyle that I have, and appreciate my artistic output... but their all weirdos and I want nothing to do with them." ... kinda thing ??
That saddens me.

To be fair to Jeph, at one point the forum bordered on "reprehensible" ( and, a few times, crossed it) until the mods and admins got the power to create and enforce rules of civility.
