Amoryl:
I'd be sad too, those were kickass glasses her anime-sona had.

raoullefere:
I'm probably slow, but it just hit me that the boobs being squished yesterday are Faye's, not Hannelore's.  Hanners is being suqished against them. :-o

Yes, I'm that thick. Or else, lacking breasts of any moment myself, I'm forever preoccupied with squishing those of the blessed sex.

Anyway, this new understanding having percolated through my rather dense cranium, I now understand why Hanners falls asleep: drunk enough not to fight being nestled against Faye's (likely incredibly comfortable) breasts, she relaxes. Which makes this strip go from a good haha to a very sad commentary on how lonely Hannelore's condition makes her.

Naturally, having figured that out, I thought I'd try to ruin the fun for everyone else, too.

About today's strip: does "for ever and ever and ever" sound kind of ominous to anyone else?

SleeperCylon:
You know, if Faye actually wanted a real relationship with Sven that was more than just sex, I think he'd actually entertain the notion.  He'd probably get bored of it and hurt her feelings, but they might have a good run for a while.

satsugaikaze:
Oh, the unconscious wishful thinking. The phrase "renounced my playboy ways" makes me gigglesnort.

JackFaerie:
Yeah, it's interesting because it's not the usual set-up where the girl is pining after the guy but the guy just wants a fuckbuddy.  Sven has actually made moves to ask her on something like a real date in the past, and Faye was the one who told him it should stay casual-only.  If he were a different guy, he might have started pining for Faye instead and we'd be feeling sorry for him, but he's not like that.  He cut his losses, shrugged, and went "ok, if that's what she wants, I can do that too."

Of course now Faye has to deal with the fact that what she says she wants and what she does want are different things.  But it's on her.  Still, it's easy to sympathize because she can't help what she feels, and now she's got herself into this weird situation where she thinks Sven wouldn't want a real relationship with her, and he wouldn't ask her for one anyway because she's always said she didn't want it--and she can't make herself ask him, either.

The point where I stop sympathizing though is where she gets all jealous possessive on him, and tells him he can't flirt with or sleep with other women.  She wants to be his girlfriend, maybe, but she's always said she wasn't--so why should he have to act like she is, with all the restrictions but none of the pluses?

He HAS renounced his playboy ways for all intents and purposes, since he hasn't slept with anyone else since he and Faye began hooking up.
