>shrug<  Bubbles and Faye are probably my favorite characters.

Sorry....but I'm disappointed.  This build up and climax just feels like jumping the shark.  Shipped fan service rather than a storyline.  sigh.

What would you like to see them discuss?

Where do we go from here?

How do robots DO that, anyway? ;)

Faye addressing if she's bi, or now a robosexual....

How do HUMANS and Robots 'do it?'

And so on....

Not sure what it means, but I DO remember something about burned out USB cables that seemed to mean something to Bubbles...

I wonder if it was this comic was scheduled for 'International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia', which was today.  I'm also not sure if in the QC universe robophobia would be an issue.

It is. We have seen hateful taunts, employment discrimination, a reference to the need for a long civil rights struggle, and mention of of preacher who teaches that AIs are evil.

It wasn't until the 1990s that a majority of Americans approved of interracial marriage. Interspecies couples are going to face bigotry.

Pintsize will be ductaped to the ceiling of the corridor outside their apartment, gagged and blindfolded.

That's before they get home, of course, but I doubt they'd bother to cut him down.

Guys, I swear, everyone here talked about them getting caught and I thought the first panel was them realizing someone saw them. Hahaha.

Then, OMG, I thought the next panel was going to be Faye saying "omg, I have no idea what I'm doing, I can't do this..." and running away. Almost gave me a heart attack! haha.

Yes, they'll go home, figure it all out, and by the time they've worked out everything, they'll sleep soundly, with Faye using Bubbles' lipstick-covered butt as a pillow, and Claire and Tai both squee so loudly they shatter every window in a 10 mile radius :P

Perhaps it's because I livd on Doctor who and don't see androids as different from people but my excitement is about it being too big girls falling for ech other:) I know what it's like to be tall and big like Bubbles and she has someone who also understands bein big to a level. It's really beautiful and it's the most natural relationship in the strip for me. Because I am a big gay girl. :p

"Your place or mine?"

This actually brings up a very good point.  Bubs and Faye are already living together.  That makes any sort of relationship immediately serious.

When roommates get romantic a few courtship steps are automatically skipped... steps that can help build the foundation of the early relationship.  Sure, being roommates they already know a lot of each other's idiosyncrasies, but that's no replacement for the initial courtship phase.

Basically, once the initial dopamine surge wears off they will find themselves already thrust into a very deep situation.  They are living together, managing a business together, laboring side-by-side at said business, are good friends AND are now romantically involved.  That's a hell of a lot of pressure on every aspect of their lives while they're trying to sort through their feelings.

Not that they can't cope with it all... but it's a lot to think about. :psyduck:
