--- 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.

The breakup speculation isn't about Faye and Bubbles breaking up, it's about Marten and Claire breaking up, due to a supposed law of conservation of relationships that affects Marten and Faye.

This. Technology becomes obsolete quicker than a person reaches old age. I would argue that the AI becomes outdated and eventually "dies"
until they improve the technology

Which raises another interesting question. Are updates a civil right?

Well, we already know that basic maintenance wouldn't be covered after what May went through with her arm falling off and having to have her face replaced at an illegal underground robot fight club because she couldn't afford it. http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3169 so not exactly sure if the updates would be any better. But that's all just speculation on my part.
Also with regards to todays strip

--- Quote from: Tova on 16 May 2018, 19:46 ---What would you like to see them discuss?
--- End quote ---
I'd like to hear Faye say something unambiguous about "I have feelings for you" so that Bubbles can't convince herself/be convinced by a (well-meant) comment that Faye is acting oddly that Faye's just along for the ride instead of being invested in the relationship. "I would never ask you to [leave]" is a great sentiment, and as a declaration leading up to the kiss, I absolutely love it, but it would be nice to have something more affirmative on Faye's part than that before this gets too much further.
It doesn't have to happen on-screen, but I would very much hope they'd have a discussion about how this is going to affect their working relationship.

I'm sure that discussion will come. Though I would argue that the kiss is an unambiguous "I love you"

--- Quote from: Zelia on 16 May 2018, 21:38 ---When I saw the last panel of this comic, I made an involuntary screeching, yelping sound. My partner assumed I had just experienced a back spasm, and came running to help. I had to explain that I wasn't in horrible pain, it was just that the Big Robot Lady and the Shouty Butch Southern Girl in my favorite Web Soap Opera finally smooched after years of waiting. She rolled her eyes. She doesn't understand my soaps.
--- End quote ---
They never understand our soaps, and I love 'Shouty Butch Southern Girl' and 'Big Robot Lady'.
It finally happened! I'm so happy I'm trying to ignore the angles (like, I know it isn't easy, but people tilt their heads while kissing that way, at least a little bit.Both Faye's and Bubble's jaw is entirely straight and I can't stop imagining the awkward way they must smooch their heads together.)
Vurogj:
I think I shall commemorate this development with a nice cup of Assam tea.
