Faye is my favorite character in QC and while all characters have real feelings and need  affection, I can't help to think that Faye should punch Sven in the gonads and leave. I know he was honest with her and she knew what she was getting into, but Faye is a strong female (with issues I know) and would not take this I think. But this is just my opinion and I was happy to get it off my shoulders.

I felt the same way for a while...  But I've come around to thinkin' that maybe Sven and Faye are okay for the time being.  Like some of the others here, I do think it will eventually end in a train wreck...  But a lot relationships do even when the begin without the baggage.  I'd have to say that Dora is my favorite character right now... I felt bad for Marten for a long time and he's an interesting character, but something about Dora intrigues me, I guess...


--- Quote from: LadySantuary on 09 Dec 2008, 14:38 ---I have to agree here, I remember getting annoyed when Dora kissed Martin, because I think that Faye really needs someone to love... And now there's Sven!

I wanted to be upset with that, but I guess I could see where she was coming from...  I wouldn't begrudge anyone that...  Especially based on the bomb Faye dropped.  Besides... Marten was grown.  If didn't want to kiss her or be with her... He could have said no... But he was interested in her before that ever happened... 

It's great that this has caused this much discourse...

Or perhaps Angus needs to come back to start some nice jealousy goodness for Sven as well. Since it makes Faye look like the only one that actually is developing some real feelings for Sven, this whole thing is just making me feel that Faye deserves a lot more than him (even though I liked that they got together since it made her get out of her shell about guys) but now she shouldn't be feeling weird about other girls with Sven and needs a more stable relationship. Though we probably won't be seeing that in the next few strips but instead will be hashed out with major drama  :-P

But seeing as they're just friends with benefits there isn't anything to break up, so he's just waking faye up (and it's about time)

I think it's t'other way round.  I think he's trying to upset her enough to show that she really can't do it the FwB thing and actually commit.

That or leave him alone instead of leaving him hanging.

You know, there's angst potential there.

And of course, it would probably not make Marten happy, nor Dora.

Misery for all.

o_O; because, obviously, a comic isn't good without everyone flailing about in misery?

I dunno, I definitely don't think that Sven/Faye thing will break up until she gets over the typecast she sorta made for herself, which everyone else eggs on. She's a bitch, and therefore deserves an asshole like Sven. Even though I really wouldn't call her much of a bitch just direct, and has some emotional issues that she needs to deal with?

*shrugs*

Yeah, I like Something Positive too, thanks for mentioning.

I didn't say misery for all would be good, I just said I'd enjoy it.

Big difference.  Jeph authors and draws a GOOD comic.  I enjoy it.

But I enjoy things that AREN'T good all the time, too.

I'm just glad Jeph pulls off "good" and "enjoyable to me" simultaneously.
