What are the bets that May ends up working for Coffee of Doom? It's just too predictable.

What are the bets that May ends up working for Coffee of Doom? It's just too predictable.

I was thinking the library. Tai would love her.

[Carl-E]

Except both of those jobs are... robotic. 

Reshelving and checking out books?  breaking up couples in the stacks?  Robotic! 

Making a coffee drink & running a register?  Robotic! 

CoD may hire her for the attitude, though.  Insulting the customers is more of an art than a science...   

[Barmymoo]

I think it's pretty unlikely May will work at CoD, it would expand the story better if she got a job somewhere else.

[DSL]

Is an android protesting that she's not a robot being...racist?  Or just elitist? 

Pedantic.

Pedant protesting pedantry. Dat's de joke!

[Mad Cat]

I like a goddamned pedant.

Wait, I AM a goddamned pedant.

[jwhouk]

What would you love to see as a "blooper reel" QC comic?

The library would be interesting (I've mentioned elsewhere that I think there's a lot of potential in a May-Momo storyline), but I don't think she'd last there without a serious attitude adjustment.

Library collections may include many rare and valuable items. Striking the balance between access and security is often a big headache for them.

I can't see somebody convicted of theft being hired, TBH.

[Kugai]

And she'll wind up at The Secret Bakery.

Momo has already been seen as more than capable of handling May.

Exactly what I was just thinking.

My psychic powers tell me that we are going to see some emotional fireworks and strong words over the next couple of strips, or at least before the end of this arc.

You think?  Totally!  The look on a certain female characters face in the last panel is the look I see on certain peoples faces when the poo doth hit the fan.

[Method of Madness]

I'm honestly not sure which character bores me more, May or Sven-this-week.

[Zebediah]

Angus is in trouble. He just doesn't know it yet. And when he does know it, he will have no clue why, because it's not about him.

Damn, but if this breaks up Angus and Faye, I will actually want to track down a fictional character and strangle him. How weird is that?

[Method of Madness]

As wonderful as they are together, they'd probably be better off breaking up if Angus moves for the job.

[Jazzmaster]

As wonderful as they are together, they'd probably be better off breaking up if Angus moves for the job.

Yeah.  Somehow I just don't see Fangus sticking out an LDR, and I also don't see Faye being shipped out to NYC.  Them breaking up seems almost inevitable, and today's strip gave me some especially strong feelings that their goals and priorities are too different for them to sustain a relationship.

[jwhouk]

...

Uh, mods? Elevate to yellow alert. In the immortal words of Han Solo, "I've got a bad feeling about this..."

[Carl-E]

Ah, Faye, you dodged a bullet. 

...until it ricochets back to bite you in the butt.   

[TheEvilDog]

And she does have quite a big butt, no way she's coming out of this without at least a couple of scrapes (to her ego)

[SomeCanadianWeirdo]

Whatever actually happens between Faye and Angus, his monologue is important.  Methinks he's about to blow the audition.  He's going to try too hard, and what they want him for is to be the straight man, or at the very least want him at his current level of Angusness.

[Nyithra]

I hope Faye actually talks about her problems like an adult instead of continuing to bury how she feels about the whole situation.

[hedgie]

Faye doesn't bury her feelings… she drowns them.

[jwhouk]

One bottle at a time, with the emergency Bourbon.

I kinda like May.

The AnthroPC? Or the RL moderator?

Which one?

Roger that. The Eagles are on standby, the cupcake dispenser manned, sandwiches done.

...I have no idea what I'm saying.

Hahahaha through all of this storyline stuff I hadn't even considered Angus blowing the audition, but you have a great point.

[snubnose]

Exactly how I'm feeling.

[...] Methinks he's about to blow the audition. [...]

On high sea and in court, you are in gods hands.

Also, during auditions.

Pretty impossible to know if he will fail or succeed ...

[KOK]

She teaches them to swim.

[NilsO]

This reminds me of a previous situation when someone did not tell the truth. The Truth Will Eventually be Revealed.

[Barmymoo]

I don't quite get the final panel today; what's Faye's expression about?

[snubnose]

This reminds me of a previous situation when someone did not tell the truth. The Truth Will Eventually be Revealed.

Except that Marten did tell the truth. The event wasnt relevant. In Martens place, I would have said so, too. I dont get why he's getting all defensive all of a sudden.

Just like Faye tells the truth. Again its not relevant.

For the same reason, in both cases, no less. They are both in a happy relationship at that point. Thus advances of other people have no importance to them.

[foolsguinea]

I love May.

[NilsO]

I don't quite get the final panel today; what's Faye's expression about?

I guess she tried to get Angus away from asking about her day at work. Only she is not happy with this theme, either.

[KOK]

Angus is so happy about this chance. Faye is afraid that their relationship will suffer.

[Mlle Germain]

Re: May at CoD
I really, really hope not. Still don't really like her as a character. It's ok if she gets her own storylines (with interactions with the other characters of course), but I still want to see my favourite characters without her being around (and likely the focus) all the time.
Secret Bakery would be fine. I don't think the library is likely.

Re: Today's comic
I have a bad feeling about Faye and Angus.
I think it's ok that Faye doesn't tell Angus; I don't think it's concealing something he should know about. But still, the comic gives me a very bad feeling that they don't have common ground anymore.

Yup.

The reason I never post in these threads is that someone always says what I'm about to say before I uh.. say it. Darn.

I believe that Faye and Angus still have common ground - neither of them is occupying it at this particular moment, but the factors that have kept them together thus far are still present, but there are some new factors now that have yet to be worked on.

[techkid]

I guess if you consider, Faye telling Angus about what happened with Sven would more than likely throw him off his audition (whether he cancels, or the thought just completely stuffs his act up). This will not bode well, since this can then be used against her in an argument. Disaster imminent...

Of course, Faye does not like change, and Angus leaving for New York is a pretty massive one. If he should move, Angus will have a hell of a time trying to keep things running smoothly. It could also end like Marten and Vicky (a likely scenario, despite how much Faye has progressed as a person).

[LeeC]

I'm just worried about her bottling things up causing a freak out at a later date and probably a brash action that she'll regret.

[Is it cold in here?]

The AnthroPC? Or the RL moderator? 

Didn't you know they're one and the same? The best of people can enjoy portraying a jerk on stage. 

[maneyan]

Well: yep, the fallout from this one is going to be immense. I just hope that in the end it doesn't end up with Angus dropping it for Faye's sake, that'd just be sad if he has to sacrifice his greatest hopes and dreams because she can't stand change.

Buyers remorse?

Getting us all to speculate about it for the rest of the weekend of course. Mission accomplished, Jeph.

[Zebediah]

Sven, of course. For reasons that other posters have already articulated to the point that I don't feel they need to be repeated.

[Mr. Doctor]

It's only a matter of time until Angus finds out. It wouldn't surprise me if the information goes Steve => Angus or Steve => Marten => Angus.

[Carl-E]

I was going to state that the principle of maximum hilarity would demand it going through as many people as possible, so he latter.  But Steve letting it slip directly to Angus could be good, too.

Good to know you're still alive, though. 

As for Faye's expression, it seems to be more preoccupied with the issue dodged than the issue at hand.  She doesn't even seem to be listening, sort of emphasized by Angus' wall-o-speech bubble. 

Which can be a problem in its own right...
