--- Quote from: comicalArchitect on 01 May 2018, 19:41 ---So, if Faye is beginning to realize she has feelings for Bubbles, where does she go now? Given Faye’s character and the way this comic usually works, I think she’s likely gonna go and talk to Marten or Dora. Dora seems more likely to me, since she has experience being bisexual (that’s a weird phrase), but I can also see Faye wanting to talk to Marten since he’s probably going to be calmer about it and get less invested in a potential relationship.

It is indeed something of a weird phrase. But, deferring to someone with experience could help.
Is it cold in here?:

This ambiguity is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-AMBIGUITY!!
Faye has a good heart. Along with her shock at herself she should soon realize that she's been inadvertently hurting Bubbles. The awkwardness will be intense.

--- Quote from: de_la_Nae on 01 May 2018, 20:53 ---Times like this, I remember the years Jeph... well, 'avoided' isn't really the right word I think..... let's say, Jeph did not commit to queer relationships. I personally added 'bury your gays' or 'hide your lesbians' or somesuch to the TVTropes page. Which, there are valid reasons not to, but I certainly was getting very tired with stories not specifically dedicated to queerness dancing around it for so many years. It was nice to see him finally go from several straight couples to some straight couples with some queer couples thrown in. To take a Goddamned stand.
Anyway, I've been looking forward to him finally ripping the bandage off on human-AI romance. He's been getting a long run-up on it, starting to feel like he was just gonna spend years dancing around it again. But looks like he might be grabbing for that bandage, finally.
As someone who, it seems, will always be sorted into society's 'Them', it is nice to see the gap bridged.

It was my understanding that trans folks still counted as queer. Has that changed?
Bad Superman:
Oh no… See that concerned look on Bubbles face in the last panel?
'Did I do something inappropriate?' ... 'Did I spook Faye?' ... 'Did I just turn her away from me?'
And Faye's somewhat weird reaction will only add to the paranoia… poor Bubbles.
JimC:
I suppose, beyond a general distaste for shipping, it seems to me if our author is going to turn his AIs into sexual beings then it loses the whole thing of exploring "There exist minds that think as well as you do, but differently." (Niven) and they become exactly like all the other characters who copulate but don't reproduce, so what's the point in having them?
