--- Quote from: akronnick on 22 Dec 2009, 15:38 ---just as long as all the spaces in the ancestors part of the tree are filled with distinct names, it's cool.
It's when the same names pop upi over and over again is when things get wierd.

Are you talking about pedigree collapse, or simply either unimaginative, weary, or pretentious (or all of the above) parents giving their children their exact names, yea, even unto the fourth generation? And yes, Binary, I'm used to looking at (and, occasionally, dreaming up) trees that explain how individuals are related to families, not the other way around. Although I hear that's in vogue these days. Truly a celebration of the self-obsessed. (All that sweaty exercise, just to create me!)
On today's strip, I'm hoping Marten appreciates progress rather than feeling slighted. On the other hand, the road to recovery is often cluttered by chickens returning from afar and rather insistently seeking perches.

I hope he didn't mean when the same person is present on multiple levels. And man, my mom spent months putting together the family info to get us (that is, me, my cousins, and her siblings) our indian cards.
And that is an awesome metaphor that you either just created or I've never heard before. Good for situations where you are deep in a relationship and then your ex from high school walks up to you at dinner and says hi, or for that new Meryl Streep movie.
themacnut:
Faye put Marten through a serious, probably months-long emotional ringer before finally having "The Talk" with him. Can you really blame him for feeling at least a little slighted that she'd tell all to Angus after only knowing him for what, a few weeks at most?
ysth:
Faye can't wear that jacket without making me think of Doonesbury's Honey - a very odd juxtaposition.
jordinyc:
ok, look
1 - Faye's great6 grandmama was not a whore, she was a sperm bank manager, and yes they had those back then, it's an established fact.
2 - Is it me or is Dora's face suffering from the first stages of Space Thunder Kids Disease?

3 - Faye's tits ROCK! PERIOD!
4 - Marten, chill! She hadn't come to terms with it really till she opened up to you! Heaven forbid she evolve emotionally.

Merry Ecksmiss everybody!

Agreed. Agreed. Agreed. Agreed.
Seriously, what's with all the Faye bashing lately? She's arguably one of the most complex characters in the strip, and she's finally coming to terms with her father's death. WE SHOULD ALL BE PROUD.
