Beefylovelord:
I don't think this is going to be the end of the sven/faye business. Sven seems too bothered by this, and faye seems to hurt to just let that be the end of it. They'll either talk and find some way to reconcile this and actually make a put a better definition on this, or they're going to talk it down and split.
Svens chance to actually attempt to salvage this, he already was honest with her, that counts a great deal toward his becoming a better person ( though some of it is thanks to his intern.
People changing overnight is a thing for the romantic comedys and whatnot. Svens made real progress toward parting from his own ways, but he is only human and he made a mistake, knowing full well he was fucked by the end. Now he can either slink back to his old ways or learn something and continue trying to change his lifestyle.
Its safe to say that old sven wouldn't have made it this far, or even been honest with her regardless of intern involvement.
Jeff7:
Sven and Dora both probably just sensed a great disturbance.
DoubleJ:
... as if dozens of people suddenly wanted to cry out, "WTF was that?!" but were too freaked out to say anything.
JackFaerie:

These people dont really have feelings for the opposite gender ... as those would collide with their lifestyle, therefore, even if such feelings come up, they are suppressed.
Unless he wants to change his lifestyle, he's not going to mutate into a good boyfriend.
And if Faye wants him back at all ... I know many people who wont.

Uh, I think the Sven you're talking about ceased to exist quite a number of strips ago.
raoullefere:
I see Jeph betrays his unfamiliarity with Southerners (U.S., that is) and our ways.
It should be: "Goddam fuckin' shit eatin' douchebag asshole!" :-D
(Douchebag doesn't fit, but Faye has been up Nawth for a while.) The spit's a nice touch.
Next strip, were she in my town, the cop on the right have would hauled Faye away for , to quote Springsteen, "disturbin' the almighty peace."
If not, maybe Faye's going to go back to give Sven that clobbering which I agree with Kugai he wants.
Actually, though, the cussing is a good sign, to me. It indicates someone who suddenly realizes she doesn't deserve this kind of treatment. I think Faye picked Sven for a sex partner, consciously or unconsciously, because she knew something like this was coming, and it's what she 'deserved.' Which explains why Faye couldn't pair up with Marten, and why she kept beating him: Marten wasn't treating her 'correctly,' (ie. he was being nice, respectful, etc.) given the sort of undeserving person Faye felt herself to be.
--- Quote from: Kugai on 17 Feb 2009, 12:20 ---Looking at it again, I can see that Sven would have rather taken the beating rather than what Faye did - Just walk out.
Right now. I think he feels lower than a Cardassian Gunrunner.
--- End quote ---
Actually, the Cardassians, as a race, always seemed to me to be the smuggest, most self-satisfied smirking bastards ever to 'grace' a space opera. But maybe you mean from others' perspectives.
