So... let's get this post-con party started.

I laughed hard that Angus mysteriously lost his glasses in the last panel.

When I read "title text" in the description I did a double-take and checked to see if there was mouseover text before scrolling up to see what he really meant. I am too used to the nerds at the XKCD forum who use that stupid term.

Poor Mari-Bear, no wonder she's such a socially awkward shut-in.

Someone stole Angus' glasses!!!

westrim · « **Reply #5 on:** 14 Mar 2010, 23:11 »

Someone stole Jeph's skill. This strip seems a bit... unfinished. Especially the title line. And, you know, the magical glasses. Though I figure that the BAD ART! sticker in the window in the third panel can't be a coincidence.

Also, nice to see Faye still getting pegged as the mean one when she didn't raise her voice or even make a cutting remark after chatting with Angus- unlike some people *whistles as if nothing happened*.

It wasn't a benchmark for bad experiences in general, it was a benchmark for bad experiences specifically of bullying.

I'm not saying your experience wasn't awful and quite painful, it just doesn't really apply.

...Wow, I am sounding like a whiny jerk. I need to stop taking this so seriously and dredging up annoying crap from my past. Is it too late to delete this and the other post?

EDIT: Nevermind, decided to delete that stuff and the stuff from the other post. Sorry.

Yeah, but that was 600 strips ago. She's gotten much better, and she still didn't nail Marigold with anything significant in the time frame Angus is asking about. It'd make more sense to me if she said ,"actually, Faye wasn't so bad. Dora going off on me about her website was kind of weird, though. But then she was all hugs and apologies

."

raoullefere · « **Reply #9 on:** 15 Mar 2010, 00:05 »

Angus didn't ask about Dora. What you're talking about was all summed up by "I guess so." Allow me to translate:
"I had as good a time as I could watching you chat up Faye while I have this ridiculous crush on you and won't say anything to you about it."

Don't worry; Angus didn't translate it correctly, either.

The Option: Yelling bird will buy it because of the whores. Sooner or later. You'll see. Whores'r trouble.

Are you saying that they will do whoribble things to him? Like telling whorrible puns? Truly, even imagining such a fate is simply whorrid.

And maybe she'll mention it tomorrow, and Jeph just wanted to get his punchline and character background into this strip. But she easily could have segued "Faye wasn't mean to you, was she?" into "Not really, it was Dora who acted all funny. ~~Hey Angus, I wonder if she's pregnant?~~"

Alas, poor Mari, her life has been replete with suck. Too bad she uses that as an excuse to become an internet hermit.

Okay, see, doing the deed means something entirely different to me. And I automatically associate crowbars with a certain Free man. So in my head that comes out as Hannelore having sex with Gordon, twice. To the head- I dunno, maybe oral?

There's a reason for that...

I think ths is probably about the age he first started getting teased at school for being the subject of his father's books.

See, Marigold? Everyone's life sucks to some extent!

Hurling on Hannelore is hideously hazardous—not only will you die via random flailing, but you'll be found dead in your own spew, and everyone will think you died of alcohol poisoning (no one ever seriously believed the ME unless he looks like William Peterson). On the plus side, they'll think you croaked like a celebrity. On the downside, they'll think you croaked like a stupid, drunk celebrity.

Hasn't Faye been to Angus's place before?

Or does she not want Dora to know that she's been there for some reason?

Akima · « **Reply #37 on:** 16 Mar 2010, 02:22 »

Dora's expressions in today's strip are a new high point, I think. But I think my Grandma would have called her a capitalist exploiter.

Kugai · « **Reply #38 on:** 16 Mar 2010, 02:28 »

I think she just doesn't want Faye spending work time with her nose against the windows of all those antique shops drooling over stuff she can't afford.

For those of you who didn't catch it in time, the dialogue in panels 2 and 3 were:

Dora: "Altruism? From YOU? I don't believe it."
Faye: "I'm bored. And I wanna make fun of Angus if he has a crappy place."

Dora: "Uh huh. Their place is up on Pulaski, past all the antique stores." (this speech bubble was deleted by Jeph)
Faye: "Gotcha." (this one Jeph replaced with "See ya.")
Dora: "But you better be quick about it. I'm not paying you for the time you're gone."

If your pay was based on good PR your great-grandchildren would still be paying off the debt.

Hmm. I think Jeph needs to go on an archive binge, because he seems to be forgetting some things. Specifically, this storyline:
650 651 653 654 655 656

Too bad he missed this before the Great Speedy Edit he already did. Faye's attitude is one of the cafe's biggest selling points. She is good PR. If anything might Dora tell Faye to not go at the risk of hurting her snarky image.This is starting to feel like "lets dump on Faye" week.

Tuitsuro · « **Reply #49 on:** 16 Mar 2010, 09:03 »

Faye sucks. As Sven well knows.

Depending on your context, it's just a poor joke. Dora doesn't mean Faye's bad for business; if she really meant it then she'd probably just fire her rather than sit around trading insults.
