Oh, Sven ...
Lepton:
I fail to see how this is "selling out". Good fiction needs conflict, and I'd rather watch something meaningful than Dora and Marten fighting about little stupid stuff. At least this way we'll see some more character development.
This is completely within Sven's character; he likes Faye more than he's willing to admit, that's why he cut back on the womanizing, but he's drunk, and he hasn't actually changed. He just told himself that he has.
And I think this is why Faye is screwing him in the first place; he's the safe guy for her to date because she knows he's going to mess up and do something like this, so that when he lets her down, she can be angry at him for a while instead of her dad.

Nobody said it is.

This nice little comic made me, like many other people, simply have to go to the forum just to see what people would say about it.
I find it interesting that people seem to assume this is fan-service for the male audience... So I registered to say this...
As a woman, I have to say, Sven is definitely kinda hot looking... and unlike most sex scenes (Read: Porn) where the woman are generally being treated as living sex toys at best, with no effort to give pleasure to, nor portray the woman as enjoying the sex... Gina was drawn in the last panel in such a way that she sure did seem to be enjoying herself... *laughs* I'm blushing almost as much as her just thinking that. Probably doesn't help matters much with that being one of my favorite positions... :oops:
...
It probably also doesn't help that Sven seems genuinely concerned about Faye in this comic, something I've never seen him before, which seems to show he has real feelings about her. Now don't get me wrong, I'd totally be pissed unbelievably at my boyfriend, and (like Faye will probably do) never be able to believe that he actually was remorseful about having sex with another woman, and if I was Faye, I'd probably break up with him immediately if I find out...
That still doesn't stop it from being strangely sweet... Mostly because it doesn't seem like guys are ever actually genuinely remorseful for cheating, especially not during the act. And in that way, it's sorta sweet.

New audience: Teenagers who think the bands mentioned in the strip are made-up.

Wait, you mean the bands aren't made up?
...just kidding. At least 40% of the reason I read QC (and 90% of the reason I read the forums) is Jeph's awesome music taste.
Hammy:
Mm... Forgive my ignorance, but what's so very bad about writing a bit of what you suspect your fans want? After all, if you don't please your audience, you lose them; if you lose them, you're out of a job; having a job keeps you fulfilled and full of food; having food keeps you alive; being alive is kinda nice... sometimes.
A story is nothing without conflict, be it internal, interpersonal, or maybe just with the world in general. I say, nice move, Jeph. We have lots of fun things to look forward to now!
