So Faye was overcoming fears when she was so assertive-seeming during the introduction scene in strip number 4? Interesting, and it makes sense. She still seems to have trouble. Someone (remind me who so I can give proper credit) pointed out that in the scene where we saw her cell phone's contact list there were precious few entries in it.

Yay for Assertive But Not Channeling Her Mom Hannelore!

That has a tendency to happen to dudes in their mid twenties.

(also Jeph's art keeps changing (nearly exclusively for the better (nested parenthesis RAWK!)) so it's probably a symptom of artistic improvement)

Okay, this was a cute strip. I just knew Hanners and Marigold would become bffs and it's cute how she's worried over her, making sure Faye is nice to her and all.

Also, poor Marten. I have a feeling he likes the abuse though. Maybe he's more like his mother than he ever thought. :O

I've noticed that too. I kind of like more buff Marten, but it doesn't work well with all the scrawny indie boy jokes. But it probably is just Jeph and him improving his art.

It's probably a good thing that Hanners and Marigold are so socially inept. If they didn't have their crippling anxieties they'd be truly dangerous, especially teamed together.

Continuity error, that noticing means I probably need to get out more.

A LOT more.

He went to CoD, and #10 implies that he went there several times before #4, where Faye introduced herself. He still would have met Dora, but then again, he probably wouldn't have gone out with her.
