QC forums: Come for the shipping, stay for the (battle) ships.
TheEvilDog:
QC Forums, come for the battleships, stay for the ship sinking. Then watch the forum burn. From a safe distance. Like Mars. Or GN-z11...

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?

I guess it depends what you are looking for?
I actually like the way this comic plays out, and think Bubbles is one of *the* best written web-comic characters I've read.
And, other than the 'Tilly Incident' (and, I must say... Claire) I generally have nothing but praise for Jeph's work.
And QC, as a whole... well... it kinda is real-life-esque...
... but with slightly more yuks...
...and ROBOTS!!!
Morituri:
I'm not seeing Jeph avoiding anything. I have no idea why any of you think that this has to resolve into a romance on some schedule. You don't even know what story is being told. This is not some kid's fairytale that the kid has heard a thousand times before and loves and wants to hear again, this is all new.
For all you know, this might in fact be a story of years of UST and how Bubbles' character changes as she silently suffers through Faye's relationships with less-than-satisfactory boyfriends. In comic time three or four years, that could take us a couple of decades.
So relax and enjoy your popcorn. Let the movie play to find out what it's about.

It's probably because I haven't been shipping them, but I for one am quite happy with how the storyline is being handled.
In a way today's comic is some kind of resolution (for now, at least).
I've almost always been impressed with JJ's writing, and I have to say that the current storyline really IS slice of life and very realistic in how it's handled. The obliviousness of 1 person, the silent resignation of another to not actively pursue a relationship due to believing it can't go anywhere, honestly how close to real life can you get?
I guess I really disagree with @Traroth on that point; how they both currently are handling things to me is not stretching things at all and actually rather realistic.
As far as Faye's feelings go, I still haven't seen any real indication that she has romantic feelings for the other sex (or in this case, a female-identifying AI). Sure, she has very strong feelings about Bubbles. But, personally, I have also had very strong feelings towards some of my male friends, but they have always been of a very close male-male bond, not romantic. That's where I currently judge Faye's feelings to be at.
