WCDT strips 3741 to 3745 (May 14th - 18th 2018)
SleeperCylon:
Something I'm curious about that I'm not sure has been answered in the comic. Is Bubbles' skin texturally similar to a human? I always assumed it was metallic. Or are sentient robots built like Data or Westworld hosts, 'fully anatomically functional'?
Also if Faye and Bubbles end up not having the relationship I would love to see the comic make the statement that two people can have a deep emotional intimacy without a physical component. I think one of the few downsides to better portrayal of the flexibility of sexuality is that it's become the assumption that any pair of people who have emotional love for each other also want to have sex.

Anthropomimetic chassis like Bubbles, Momo and Winslow have a synthetic skin called 'Derma' that's flexible, water=proof and soft to the touch. I don't know whether it feels like human skin but no-one who's been in contact with such a chassis has made any 'uncanny valley' references.
Bubbles' chassis covering also has a bulletproof layer to the point where Faye thinks she's invulnerable to anything short of a 308 Magnum rifle.
torrrential:
According to strip http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3004 her armourcan resist a 3 cm APFSDS round.
BenRG:
That's her stand-off outer plating; I'm talking about the intrinsic strength of her chassis without that.
Is it cold in here?:
It's high risk but they could be a great couple.
They can have deep affection no matter what. It would not be the first asexual marriage in history if it develops that way.
