Aegir:
Unless Marigold doesn't have a lock on her door (which might make sense because everyone else doesn't seem to knock to get in), then Angus has a key, so he might be her roommate. Additionally, that would explain why the rest of the apartment isn't as dirty.
Newbia:
Angus' and Hanners' expressions totally made my day. :D

Junodog said something in the 'Marigold' thread (now locked for some reason) that was interesting. Even if you're not a compulsive hoarder, per se, there's something more going on than just 'being lazy'.
--- Quote ---I have my messy room and I've got a nice plan for cleaning it up, then I get tired or distracted and end up not getting anything done, and then I've got another few dirty kleenexes on the floor that I had meant to throw away but forgot about in the time between the thought of "this needs to be thrown away" and actually getting up to do something else, and then a week passes after I first intended to clean everything up and it's about the same, if not worse, than it was before. The only thing that can keep me from doing this is if I have enough space for storage (which is only the case about half the time, if that) or if my room is in pretty good shape to begin with. Getting distracted is a huge part of it.
Of course, in my case it actually is a mental disorder, seeing as I've got ADHD and an anxiety disorder, but it's not necessarily hoarding. For me it was just getting distracted and not having a trash can nearby or having places to put stuff/organize it. I'm better now than I was, though, mostly because I've gotten into better routines over the years and I know how to organize things in the best way possible for me. I think Marigold might just be one of those people who forgets about the stuff that doesn't interest her and doesn't do anything about it for a long time. And yes, I have forgotten to throw stuff away for months at a time.

ALSO: i've been reading a book that I have found SUPER-HELPFUL, and maybe you should check it out.
It's Hard to Make a Difference When You Can't Find Your Keys - not just another book about getting organized. It speaks to the chronically disorganized - talking not just about being disorganized, but why we are disorganized. Not just 'don't do X, do Y', but how to really get at the root of the issues. You can read the first chapter here or download it as a PDF here. Just the first chapter spoke to me so much - so maybe check it out, perhaps it's something for you too. :-)
Ok, back to your regularly scheduled comic forum.
Mojo:
I'll point out that Marigold has Steve's nose...

I think it was locked because of the creepiness factor exceeding 9000. Also, we're still talking about a comic here, so Marigold might not be a compulsive hoarder or just lazy, but being in exaggerated filth for Hanners to unleash her wrath upon.
