Next big one needs to be Marten proposing. It's time his character grew into it. :claireface:

A tiny tiny subtlety... nothing else...

Whereas I automatically inferred that pause - if for nothing else but for them to process what they just said in that penultimate panel, in relation to what they're feeling - so it didn't matter that I didn't see it. Nothing seemed rushed or sudden to me. The entire scene is already animated in my head. I don't need everything animated on the page.

There has been a deliberate and obvious slow burn for well over a year.
How much longer did people want it to go on? An entire weeks' worth of comic to them just awkwardly standing in the shop "um-ing" at each other?
BenRG:
The thing that people need to realise to understand this turn of events is to understand that it isn't the backrub. The backrub is what told Faye that she felt physical attraction to Bubbles, but the key events were panel 1 in Strip 3743 and panels 3 & 4 in Strip 3744. Faye had run across town, frantic at the thought that Bubbles had been offended by her in some way and had left. Later, Faye was moved to tears just by recalling that fear and the thought of Bubbles no longer being in her life.
It's at that moment that Bubbles says the thing that the key to Faye's heart: "I would never leave unless you asked me to." - Faye's greatest fear in relationships is someone leaving her after she has let them into her heart; Bubbles has just sworn never to do so.
Then Faye says the thing that's the key to Bubbles' heart: "I would never ask you to." - Faye was not going to reject or ostracise Bubbles because of who and what she is.
It was, in many ways, as touching a declaration of of mutual love and commitment as could be imagined for those two. They're both vulnerable and have been rejected, betrayed or abandoned too many times. They've just found someone who has promised (in a believable way) that they will not do that to them.
