Snarky oneliners and anthroPC comics, which is not to bash oneliners or anthroPCs, just that you'd really be taking the plot-meat out of the comic :P

That's kind of what I mean. Again, I actually don't mind this, but thinking about it, the romance doesn't HAVE to be the sole plot-meat, you know?

Yeah, see? :-P But it's not like there aren't plot possibilities in other things, without having it be an adventure or mystery comic. Dora's business for instance: she's been worried about finances, that could make for a plot arc (not just her finances, but losing the shop/revamping the shop/competition with another coffee shop, etc). The hijinks as Dora tries implementing new experimental practices! The strain and complications of her relationship with Faye as she has to temporarily become more boss than friend, and Marten stuck in the middle! If there IS a competition with another shop, the spying and sabotage and who-knows-what-else that could be played for both laughs and drama! Etc.
Also kinda job related possibility: after being offered/introduced via a friend, Dora considers doing some pin-up modeling on the side to supplement her income (and because omg, she'll be like her idol!). Marten struggles with wanting to be a supportive boyfriend, but also finding he whole thing very uncomfortable because of mother issues. It might also cause him to reconsider his own low-paying job and maybe inspires him to go out and try for something more ambitious. (I would suggest that rather than Dora doing pin up, he ends up being the one who gets a side job for a music blog/website etc, but we haven't really seen him going to any shows lately...)
Also, despite this NOT being an adventure comic, we DO have a character who works for the CIA, and another one who is a mad scientist orbiting the earth. Surely something could be done there. And so on.
Is it cold in here?:
Plus there are a lot of story lines possible if the band gets revived.

Actually, I thought it was a bit creepy the way she stared at Angus. But maybe that's just me.

I disagree. The alcohol allows us to get an inner insight. Remember, when high, emotions are exaggerated. In normal is a crush.
Tuitsuro:
I do believe we've graduated beyond fucked to somewhere in fubar territory, Faye...
Also, the worry hat's return!
Moxie:
I definitely think the collapsing house of cards made the whole comic. :lol:
