Faye and Sven
Jackie Blue:
How can any of you tell that any of these people are "attractive"? They're cartoon characters that aren't drawn realistically at all! I mean, some of them are "cute" (Hanners, Raven) but they're "cute" like a kitten or a chibi anime character.
Seriously you people scare me sometimes.
raoullefere:
That's okay. We, I, scare me, too. Remember, I'm the psycho that's doing a character count. I even refer to myself with non-personal demonstrative pronouns. Veryscary. Run.
I guess what I meant to say was that Sven is, to, me, presented more as 'charisma guy' than Adonis. Marten seems to be the 'good-looking but has no idea' guy, which I'm partially basing on the fact that he's the child of QC's answer to Bettie Page. So what I'm really talking about is how they are written.
Actually, to me the only guy Jeph seems to really draw as attractive is Benji. Dunno what, if anything, to make of that. Also dunno how good I am at measuring guy's attractiveness. Maybe I need to buy a Pitt-o-Meter.
I can see it now: "So, Ryan, how many Pitts does Raphael score?"
"Oh, about 8.3 Pitts. The estimator readout says he could go a full 9 Pitts if he'd shave the goatee."
Maybe someone can get cracking inventing the Pitt-o-Meter?

Hit the nail on the head there. :lol:
I'll undermine my comment by saying that I love how Faye has been drwn recently. Don't know what's different.
"Harrison Bergeron" is an excellent story. One man was too intellegent, and so had to wear a radio in his ear that frequently emitted loud noises to derail his train of thought. An unsusally beautiful woman wore an ugly mask.

Over on Weekly comic talk, LoramirOfGondor came up with an truly interesting idea: comparing Sven and Faye to Benedick and Beatrice in Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing. The circumstances are different, but still...
Now I'm wondering: if Marten were to dump Dora for reasons based on a lie rumor, would Faye ask Sven to kick Marten's ass? Would he? Could he get serious as Branaugh's Benedick does?
Have I just blown Jeph's plan?
Doug S. Machina:
Sounds great. Though I must brush up on my Shakespeare. When you mentioned him some way up the thread, I imagined that Dora would give up managing the Coffee of Doom and split owenership between Faye, Penelope and Raven based on who can flatter her best. Penelope refuses to play and is cast out. Marten protests this and is also banished. Faye and Raven pull Sven and Benji into their schemes for power, and eventually both shun Dora. She ends up in a park ranting at a storm with Mievelle or Pintsize as her Fool. Penelope returns in force. Everything ends in tragedy.
(This post has very little to do with Faye and Sven's relationship.)
