Is it cold in here?:
There could be a whole arc just on the reaction of Faye's mother, who wants with all her soul for her eldest daughter to be safe and happy, but who has some traditional ideas about relationships. And who did not grow up with synthetic citizens.

To those feeling in some way let down today...

Life is like this... quite often.

Maybe that's the point? Maybe the comic is coming too close to reality to stay really enjoyable?

If reality isn't enjoyable to you, maybe that's not Jeph's fault?

P.S.: It's a 'slice of life webcomic'. We can't really claim fraudulent labelling.

If taken too far, Wolfgang Peterson gets involved?

ckridge:
Bubbles is avoiding eye contact so as not to show her feelings. That is a poor way to live with a friend.

Bubbles is visibly physically aware of Faye's proximity all the time, and visibly moved every time Faye touches her. Faye, by contrast, handles Bubbles with the easy familiarity with which one would handle a beloved dog. I don't remember Faye ever being this physically familiar with anyone before, male or female, not even with Angus. It looks like Bubbles not only doesn't register as a possible object of desire for Faye, Bubbles doesn't even register as human for her. Bubbles has gotten all the way inside Faye's defenses precisely because she does not register as a possible lover, and thus as a possible danger.

This could all go very badly. Any responsible adult can live with someone they love who doesn't love them. You wall the love up, starve it to death, and get into the habit of ignoring its ghost. Doing that when the person you loved had their hands all over you all the time would be hard though. Maybe someone could manage it. 

Faye could be terrified if she finds out that this person who she has let so far into her life is also a potential lover, and thus also someone who could potentially abandon her. It could feel like seeing soldiers coming out of the Trojan horse.

If it were a 'steam ship', it'd probably look something like this:




Tangent: IIRC, all US super-carriers use steam-turbines for propulsion, just like the above HMS Dreadnought. Difference is the heat-source used to generate steam.
