Tuitsuro:
Oh please, she wouldn't murder her parents... herself. She'd have them murdered, obviously. (And all he asked was to stay at her place for a while, in return.)

You're reading way too much into what's going on with Marigold and Angus. OK, he's snarky and witty, but he's also trying to treat his roomate as less of a shut in, and more of a friend. Marigold may get hurt, and Angus may be oblivious, but it's not intentional on his part!
There's not a line in this conversation that's intentional double entendre, either. The whole joke is that's it's an innocent conversation about the dancin' in the last two strips, and the punchline is how we read it!
Like Jeph said in a tweet, "That comic's gonna be quite the surprise for people working backwards through the archive in the future."

Ah, I figured the two characters knew nothing about the entendre, but wasn't sure what everyone else thought..
No no, I totally agree that he's *trying* to be nice. So far, the times I've seen him act like an ass (only recently) it certainly didn't seem to be intentionally to hurt anyone's feelings. It's just Angus and how he reacts to situations. Still don't like it, but if you can't help it..
What I'm asking is, does anyone else wonder if he's being *written* a little too oblivious? (Being that close is kind of a big deal?) I'm a big fan of my personal space though, so it could just be ME that's relating to this differently than most.
Also, having to do with how long the two have lived with one another, it just seems like they don't know each other very well? Or at least that Marigold would've developed this crush sooner? I dunno.. Just musings.
Is it cold in here?:
I can see them not interacting much, especially while Marigold's room was unvisitable. She wouldn't even have been out to the kitchen regularly.
Am I reading too much into things, or is Marigirl dressing in a more mainstream way lately? We haven't seen the purple pants in a while, and the tops have been less obscure and subculturish.
Mojo:
A little off topic, but as good as the art has been lately, I really kind of miss these days...

(see, the train of thought was, "you know, Marigold actually has rather a pleasing shape..." followed by the realization of how much the art has changed - followed by the usual "I miss Raven" thought...)

Momo was said to have just moved in, but that doesn't mean Marigold just moved in: she had the sort of clutter it takes many months to accumulate, although I wouldn't put it past her to have moved with it.

I would. Not moving with it per se, but rather it (or half of any non-trash stuff she owns) coming out of whatever box it was packed in for at least a year and a half.
