ironi:
Wow, I'm really enjoying this story arc. I agree with whoever said that Faye is just getting out of the way of the coming awkwardness. There is really no way that Angus could be happy with Marigold, she just doesn't have that acerbic wit that attracted him to Faye (and some other girlfriend he mentioned) in the first place. Though yeah, it'll be interesting to see if Faye backs off cause of this or not.
raoullefere:
Y'know, looking at this again, I almost wonder if there's not a teeny bit of triumph in Marigold's expression in the last panel. I hope it's just her boozy smile, but…

Looking forward to it. :evil:

Me too! I'm personally hoping for it to be bad to the point that she can't live with Angus anymore, moves out, and is never heard from by any of the characters again.

You romantic devils, you.
I think you're right, though, Odin, at least short-term. Long-term depends on how routed Faye is. And, of course, there's always the chance Marigold, QC's current queen of choke, will do it again, alky-hol or no. Then we'll get to see, like as not, Faye pushing Angus away (which part of her wants to do anyway, no doubt—due to her habit, not him) or actually telling him about Marigold herself. Now that would be interesting. Angus's brain would probably do this.
Malsies:
I'm thinking that Marigold is either going to confess now (that is, the night that is currently taking place in QC time), or Jeph will draw it out and make us wait until she drinks again. Because I don't think she would express her true feelings while sober.
As far as Faye is concerned, I think (well, I'm actually pretty damn sure) she likes Angus, but I think she sees that there's a danger of hurting Marigold, which she doesn't want to do. So I think she'll either play the martyr by cooking up a scheme to get the two of them together, or, supposing this story line leads to Faye and Angus having "the talk," she'll just refuse to date him out of respect/pity for Marigold. Or both.

--- Quote from: Moxie on 22 Mar 2010, 22:33 ---Wait....how did Marten know it was bourbon and tacos? Dora didn't specify what the dinner and booze was...
--- End quote ---
Unless Jeph changed it because he realised it, Dora did specify. Quote: "Oh she's over at Angus and Marigold's. Said something about tacos and bourbon".
--- End quote ---
It has indeed been changed. Jeph flipped the dialog between the two, and it makes much more sense now that Marten isn't psychic. :D
--- Quote from: Scarblac" ---Marigold said she believes she actually has a chance, and therefore Faye probably thinks that Angus is interested in Marigold, instead of in her.
That must hurt, and it also makes her the third wheel on the cart. That's why she's leaving immediately.
--- End quote ---
I could see something like this running through Faye's mind. Especially given how quickly Marigold is saying, "Bye!"
Heliphyneau:
Oh snap. Well, with Angus having shown some self-awareness recently (his 'I'm an ass most of the time' comment a few strips back), it's fitting that Faye would show some personal growth and consideration. I don't think Faye is just getting out of the way of the inevitable awkwardness, I think she's letting Marigold have her chance. Faye's only seen Angus and Marigold interacting a couple of times, so I doubt she really knows whether Mar-Bear has a shot, but she'd have to be a total asshole to stand in the way of the girl's first try. Faye has warmed to Angus lately, but not to the point where she's like "RARR! MINE!!" Odds are high Faye will spill to Marten and Dora, unless those two are boning when she gets home. Hopefully this won't affect her enough that she backslides and bootycalls Sven.
As to whether Angus and Marigold can engage in a romantic relationship, well, a lot will depend on how soon Angus figures out wtf went wrong with Faye and his reaction to an advance from Marigold. Since he's clearly got the hots for Faye, to the point where he's said he can't get coffee service from a hot chick at home, he is likely to experience severe brain melt once he figures it out. But let's remember: Angus is clueless. Short of Marigold pinning him to the couch and smooching him or saying outright "FAYE LEFT BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES" Angus will probably have some trouble figuring it out. I kind of expect him to either blame Marigold for Faye leaving (ie: "What did you say to her?") or be self-disparaging (ie: "Gah, why did I bother, Faye's never going to like me"). Although, I would kind of like to see the utter awkwardness of Angus asking Marigold to try and help him get with Faye -- sort of a change-up on the whole Cyrano idea. Epic possibilities there.
Whatever happens, I'm looking forward to where Jeph takes this. ^_^
