Sven and Faye's "relationship"
Mr. Skawronska:

Correct in both cases. I come off as creepy because it's intentional. I'm not looking to woo the ladies, I'm here to relax and unwind and have a good time with people who have a wacked-out sense of humor.
So I'm doing the "creepy old man" persona...mostly because eerily, in many ways, it fits.
And from the feedback I'm getting, I'd say I'm portraying it right.
And I'd say that ALL of my rhetoric is calculated to some degree...though I'll admit, some more carefully calculated than others.
But every line I write is to entertain one person: Me.
If others are entertained...great. But I'm not Jeph. I don't HAVE an audience other than myself. The rest is just me sharing wierdness and feeding off the reactions.

??? you're creepy? I must have missed the part where you wanted to put heads on spikes or drink virgin goat blood or marry michael jackson or donate sperm to a single mother so she can have umpteen children without ever meeting you... Damn, my creep-dar must be out of batteries, I just thought you were having fun.
btw, cheers to random british slang!

We all want sexual freedom and sexual power, but sharing that kind of intimacy just to scratch an itch? It leaves you vulnerable and doesn't lead to a mutually rewarding relationship (short term satisfaction does NOT lead to long term mutual respect and commitment).

very well stated. geez, where were you in my life a few months ago? although, i think whenever we're involved in situations like that we do really know it, we just convince ourselves that maybe this time will be different.
whatever happens, its a lot more fun to watch it play out in a comic storyline as opposed to real life :p

just noticed 714's picture thingie (previous post) and it totally looks like Sven has breasts and Faye is fondling them.

I have an inkling that Faye is going to learn that the hard way.

Because someone just called this bit up.
Not everyone is interested in long, "meaningful" (read: expensive) relationships. There are plenty of people out there that want nothing more than to rut like a couple of animals - hey, I'm one of them - and don't give a flying fuck about a(n) "expensive, tedious, annoying rewarding relationship." I'm totally clear on this, too - I meet a girl and talk to her. If we hit it off, I ask her if she wants to fuck, with nothing behind it. If yes, cool. If no, also cool.
I've never been in a "rewarding relationship", as far as I'm aware, but I've never wanted that - I'm perfectly fine with the way things are right now. Maybe that'll change later, maybe not. But to label friends with benefits, fuckbuddies, or whatever your preferred term for the situation is as a bad idea isn't strictly true.
As far as the comic goes, I'd say Sven should fess up and Faye should just deal with the impending emotional trainwreck that it's going to cause. It's her own damn fault for not being totally honest and in the open about her thoughts and feelings. Or maybe Jacques will have her brush it off like it's nothing (and then have a breakdown at home, that poor Marten will have to deal with.) STAY TUNED, VIEWERS!
