It's perspective - advanced art and all that. Possibly a tad overdone this time, though.

He may yet, Mr. Frodo. But Wil's new pals in that last photo didn't make his chances look great.
As for Meena and Dave, that's exactly what I would have expected from them. Nor would I be surprised if Meena called the engagement off next week. She seems batshit crazy to me. It may be Dave proposed in order to 'save' Steve from her.

Unless he was faking being nice or underwent a radical personality change, I'm going to agree. Dave just doesn't seem like someone who would do that.
Not that we really got a chance to know him...

Am I the only one who looked at the last panel of 1351 and went, "Marten...nose, wtf?"

Hm, Steve reveals a truth -- soap operas are much better when one is drunk. At least, the constant repeat of plot points seems like a good idea.
With such a sizable cast, it can't be easy to give everyone time while still running story arcs, and some characters are more interesting/story worthy than others. I wonder if Jeph keeps a notebook with characters and their backstories, or if he just refers to old strips?
And I hope Amir doesn't join the ranks of Missing, Presumed Written Out characters. I liked his "creepy older guy at concerts" thing. Also -- arm hair! That made him unique.
The longer lasting characters seem to be the most complex (d'uh) which gives them a lot more options. While I liked Wil, he did seem to be rather one dimensional as "Sensitive Poetry Nerd". No backstory evident.
I'm wondering if Raven will vanish, too, for that same reason. She had a great gag built into her, but a lack of complexity and no backstory.
It's fun to analyze, but I am so sleep deprived right now...
Zingoleb:
Wil also hasn't been given a whole lot of time to show himself off.
In the same amount of time, Sven would be nothing more than "Womanizing Jerk," Marten as "Skinny Indie Guy," and Faye as "Abusive Bitch". If Wil were to be around more I think that he'd be more fleshed out.
