--- Quote from: zisraelsen on 16 May 2018, 17:45 ---I maintain that there will be enough interesting about an AI/human relationship (between two well-developed characters, no less) that Jeph could tell a good story without them having to break up.

I don't understand the persistence of the idea that a healthy couple cannot be the center of good stories without some gimmick involved or the threat of breakup stress/drama.

Lazy and/or bad writers who aren't up to creating the first without resorting to the second.

So - what do robot lips taste like? :-D

My first thoughts were:
Does Bubbles have a tounge?
Is it wet?
WHY would she have a wet tounge?
Doesn't AI just have a speaker hidden inside the cavity so it sounds human-ish?
Will Melon come in and break up their little tete-a-tete tomorrow with some wacky request?

1. Woohoo!!!! Finally!!! :-D :-D :-D
2. So glad that their comments yesterday about "shall we get back? Lots of work to do, etc" were merely an excuse to go somewhere that they would be able to talk privately (rather than avoiding the situation). Re-reading yesterday's comic in light of today's, it's more clear to me that Faye was ready to blurt everything out right then and there if Bubbles hadn't suggested going back to the shop.
3. Oh Faye... wiping away a tear as you're talking about how you were scared that Bubbles had left. Looks like the time spent running around town looking for Bubbles really brought home your feelings, even more so than Marten asking "What do you want to do?" I am glad because I didn't like Faye's original plan to just play it cool and give herself some time to think - I don't think that would have been very fair to Bubbles.
4. Personally I don't feel it was too rushed here. However I would like to see them talk more at some point soon, but it doesn't have to be straight away. 1 - because they are business partners as well as friends, but also 2 - because an AI/human relationship is new territory for both of them. I really don't expect that us readers will see any more of their talks than the level of detail we saw when Marten and Claire talked about their relationship (and I'm totally cool with that) but for them to not talk about it all would be rather unrealistic to me. I'm cool with it being an offscreen conversation so long as it happens.
And in conclusion: Woohoo!!! :-D :-D :-D

Yes! Marten asking "What do you want to do?" brought home the idea that a relationship with Bubbles is something she can have. Bubbles leaving the shop brought home the idea that a relationship with Bubbles is something she can lose. It is that second realization, I think, that made Faye want to take action to make the relationship happen.
And also: Woohoo! indeed.
