I've been thinking that having PTX or Aunt Bettie or some other tertiary character show up and Disapprove of Faybles is probably not going to happen, because it would be boring. The tertiary would show up, misquote scripture or whatever, and the rest of the cast would reject bigotry and support Faye X Bubbles.
Those two crazy kids have enough going on to tell lots of stories, without any Very Special Episode shenanigans. And they're mature enough to know it, because they're talking it through in these past few panels.
And the blocking and anatomy are telling as much story as the dialogue. kudos

Yeah, contrarian characters probably aren't going to be a thing.

I don't see how any of that would matter. Faye could care less what Aunt Bettie (who could've passed away by now) or anyone else outside her immediate family thinks. And even if her immediate family objected they aren't all that involved with her life so it's no big loss. Similarly I doubt PTX's opinion matters to Bubbles, but if he were to cause trouble I would love for Bubbles to lean in and ask him if he knows what happened to Corpse Witch.

It depends on how much of a mob they're able to whip up. We know that there are people in Northampton who really don't like Bubbles at all for no other reason than her being an AI.

That's interesting, why is that? I'm also an avid hiker and a caver, also.
EDIT: well, I don't do much caving lately.

I never gave it much thought. My best guess is that A: several of the companies (such as Petzl or CAMP) that produce the gear are in Europe, and B: even the US companies realize that it is to their advantage to use the global standard, since many of their customers either live outside the US, or at the very least, travel outside the US to climb.

Oh, I run and most of my races are in kilometers. If it's high-end gear, it's probably set to metric for people who use it for competitive purposes. Most of the world uses the metric system. If you are serious enough to be pursuing an activity that involves traveling out of the US, you will need the metric system. Some people think it's actually a much easier and more accurate way to measure things as well.
