Sorflakne:
I think too many people are getting their undies in a bunch over Angus messing around.  Look at it this way:  He could have been grinding Mari's ass, rather than him grinding his ass on Mari :-P

raoullefere:
I agree; Angus is having fun with Marigold, not at her expense. He probably doesn't think anyone is going to take an invitation to grind on his 'booty' seriously. I realize Marigold may take it the wrong way, but, honestly, that's her problem, not his until such time as she lets Angus know she's attracted to him. We can guess it, looking in from the outside (and it's still just a guess), but Angus can't. And even so, would it be better for him to treat her like some sort of plague bearer? Marigold's got to work out how to interact with people, and her house-mate's as good a starting place as any.

Having said that, it occurs to me that taking him up on the invitation would be a way to encourage the 'proper' reaction (if that's what she wants). Too bad Marigold doesn't know that.

zagraf:
Yeah, I see the previous two strips as funny and sad at the same time. Funny, because Angus is having fun and, I imagine, trying to introduce a little happiness into the life of his good-at-heart but repressed and lonely roomie. Sad, because he doesn't realize he's thereby making her fall for him, big time. But that does not make Angus a bad guy in my book, no not at all.

I think both of them, in their own ways, are poor at reading others' signals. But that can be learned.

jwhouk:
Age: Pretty much most of the main characters in the strip are 20-something (with the exception, of course, of the 'rental units of Hanners, Dora, Marten and Faye's mom); youngest ones are likely (the "out to sea) Ellen, Cosette & Luna, Amanda and Tai. I think Marigold and Hanners are probably about the same age, while Angus is just a bit older (23). I actually think that Raven is the third or fourth oldest of the group, since she's been a friend of Dora's since HS; that would mean the top five "oldest" cast members would be Sven, Dora, Raven, Penelope.

If I were guessing, here's my list from oldest to youngest:

[*]Amir (gone)
[*]Sven
[*]Will (by perhaps a month or two)
[*]Dora
[*]Raven
[*]Penelope
[*]Faye
[*]Steve
[*]Marten
[*]Sara (gone)
[*]Angus
[*]Hannelore
[*]Marigold
[*]Tai
[*]Amanda
[*]Cosette
[*]Luna
[*]Natasha (gone)
[*]Ellen (gone)
[/list]

...just my opinion, of course.

schmeeble:
I cheer for Angus because Marigold is by far the most uninteresting character in the comic.
