Global Moderator Comment There's some history going way back on this.

I guess people don't bother with the sticky threads at the top of the forum these days. The thread "Conduct in this forum" contains the original discussion which lays out the expectations of the moderators on the matter of shipping, including Jeph's, in his own words. It remains an reasonable explanation.

--- Quote from: pecoros7 on 07 May 2018, 22:05 ---I think Marten asking Faye what she wants to do has recontextualized her situation for her. It seems like she's been treating being attracted to Bubbles as a problem. Asking "What am I s'posed to do?" suggests to me that she's thinking "How do I fix this? How do I make this go away?" Thinking about what she wants to do rather than what she is supposed to do may have made her realize that she doesn't want to make it go away.

I love whats said here. :3
BenRG:
That's one thing that Marten seems to have a talent for doing (he did it for Tai and Dora too): Make his friends step beyond their immediate reactions, fears and neuroses and actually think about outcomes and consequences. Whilst, in Faye's case, the main result is to convince her of the undesirability of the 'do nothing' strategy, I can't help but think that Jeph deliberately wrote panels 3 and 4 as a visual double-entendre, something that he likes doing.
FWIW, I think that Faye and Bubbles are going to agree not to rush anything but to be open and not afraid to express their feelings with each other. At first, this will lead to some ultra-cute snuggly moments that will just organically move forwards.

When I first read 3731, Faye's facial expressions made me think she was deliberately trying to bring things out into the open between her and Bubbles. But then she ran off a few comics later so I guess she wasn't (at least not on a conscious level).

I really like Marten's outfit
