That poster portrays a statue of Athena Nike, or Victory (I think that's what the crown means); (slips into Chairman Kaga voice) if memory serves, it sat at the hand of the great statue of Athene in the Parthenon. Anyway, the poster's been up on the CoD wall ever since Dora redecorated a few months ago for them , years for us.
I freely admit I laughed at Penny's comment, and still do when I look at the strip again. As I said before, Faye deserves the same amount of consideration from Penelope that she's given out. Of course, if we all got what we deserved, 'twould be a hellish world, I fear.
I, like others, also fear that Dora will find Sven morose enough that she will refrain from giving him an ass-whuppin', which he probably needs on General Principles. But I don't think she'll round on Faye for that. Dora's more likely to hold a victory celebration. Or she would if she wasn't so nice. As she says, "I would never." Which is why Marten's unlikely to dump Dora—it's easy to overlook flaws in someone who's got a heart like that.

I don't think Dora would "round on" Faye -- I think she would come back amazed and in awe of Faye's Sven taming powers, stunned at being able to say such things. ;)
Ok, so that's Nike back there? I'll have to go stare at it some more.
Bendal:
Faye needs to get serious about addressing her emotional problems. Right now her friends are just enabling her to keep going on without changing, and when suddenly someone who she was using turns out to be the kind of person everyone told her he was (and he told her too so she knew), she gets the sympathy? No way; she brought it on herself. She goes to Sven when she wants to, and expects him to be available whenever SHE wants sex, and requires him to be monogamous in the deal? She might as well buy a vibrator since that's what she's treating him like.
If anything good comes out of this, hopefully it will be Dora and Marten sitting her down and telling her "Look Faye, you're running away from confronting these things inside you; Sven is a symptom of that. We're here to help you but you've got to want to do this yourself."
Otherwise, I don't see how Faye can continue on with this kind of internal torment.

Fixed.

Out of all the whiny "waah Faye waah Sven" posts this plot arc has generated, you pick on that one?
People baffle me.
