Sven and Faye's "relationship"

Faye doesn't need to have "the talk" with Sven; Marten shared "the talk" with Dora and Dora already told Sven about it, so everybody in that circle of friends has implicitly heard "the talk". Besides, why would she have "the talk" with him? she already fucked him (and continues to do so)! "The talk" was Faye's proverbial "it's not you, it's me" blow off to Marten, nothing else. She told Dora she had feelings for Marten, but what were those feelings? In my opinion, she said that just to fuck Dora's mind. She knew Dora would feel guilty and insecure, so she did it because, let's face it, Faye has a bit of a mean side...

Thank you! There is simply no reason for Faye to have "the talk" with Sven - it was backstory to give Faye's neuroses grounding. She met with her shrink after she first slept with Sven, and came to the conclusion that it was alright to sleep with him - somewhat healthy even.
Jeph did a good job of drawing Sven looking a little disappointed when Faye said she wasn't ready for a real relationship, and has done a good job of showing Faye getting jealous/irritated when Sven hits on other women right in front of her. I don't recall them ever making any kind of commitment beyond "friends who occasionally hook up". The timing just doesn't seem to be right. Sven is getting over Faye not wanting a commitment and Faye might be realizing (or another character will point out to her in a snarky way) that she gets jealous because while she doesn't want Sven, she doesn't want anyone else having him either.
The way I foresee it, they will eventually mutually decide to make a commitment. They balance each other out well, and would be able to be a couple without the sugar-shock syrupy sweetness of Marten/Dora. (Seriously, there should be a warning on some of the strips focused on Marten and Dora announcing "Diabetics beware! Insane amounts of sticky sweet relationship cuteness. Adjust your medications accordingly.")
Mr. Skawronska:
Hey, I like sicky-sweet relationships...Those are the kind I have.
The kind Faye has that is painful yet satisfying...well...
...those are the kind I like to watch.
*checks his watch* It's not yet time for Faye to get another bitch-slap. But the last one with Sven flirting with Penelope again was good for a couple of shots of...*checks bottle* Skyy Vodka.
Mmmm...alcohol. *Hic*
One day, I'll get industrious and post the "Faye's Misery Drinking Game"
Today is not that day.
Tomorrow's not lookin' good either.
Thanks again, Jeph!

I didn't actually say I minded the sickly sweet, just that it's good to have a broad spectrum of relationship types.
sofiabailote:
Things are going well between them, in my opinion. They seem to be spending a lot of time together and they don't try to be something they're not which is a really good thing in a relationship. These kids have a future... but it will probably be another 500 strips before there's any change in their status :laugh:
