Ahah.. I should rephrase, I feel like QC characters' love lives are an intrinsic part of their personalities and development? I agree that there are elements that would be nice to see more of, like the coffee shop finances and such (for god's sake, what happened to Faye's sculpture? :O) but, hm... Jeph seems to be good at portraying a character's development leading up to a romantic gesture... that being the case, it is natural for him to make use of the talent. I agree with whoever said he seems to be favoring Marigold at this time, though, but I wonder if Marigold was originally meant to be a plot device for Faye and just turned into a character Jeph liked :P or maybe he didn't think that far ahead, ha ha...

About Marten getting a better job, when Jeph posted that redrawn early comic where Marten and Steve are talking about Marten getting a new job, I totally thought it was a deja-vu new discussion for a minute.. until I scrolled down and read the commentary XD I wonder if it's something that'll be addressed later. Yeah. I guess thinking about it, there are a lot of elements that don't get properly explored, which I guess makes Marigold seem like .... a character that shouldn't have been introduced, or explored, at this time. But you know, for a comic which moves the way it does.. which is to say 5 days a week... for someone like me who checks back every update day, it is quite easy to follow the story that is happening right now with her, so.. if you don't think too hard about things, you don't really notice them?

Like. It's kind of easy to forget about Steve, Marten's bandmates (I can't even think of their names ><), Penelope, Wil, Hanners' parents, etc., when you only get a page a day and you're only seeing 3-5 characters. There are a lot of characters and elements to explore, so I guess I can see why this latest development might feel like 'oh god not another one,' but then again, it isn't like Jeph hasn't been working up to it for like, MONTHS.

Sorry for this meandering post, it is 3 am here and I'm not very coherent. Hope this makes sense!.

no one special:

awwwwwww shit! 

That was a crazy f***ing awesome primal scream of a response!  It's time for Faye to go fight for her man!!

It. Is. On.

Lost Coastlines:
Option #1: Marigold manages to keep her feelings to herself and Angus remains oblivious
Option #2: Marigold is forward and Angus rejects her in a much harsher way than he would when sober
Option #3: Drunk Angus accepts Marigold's advances and, in the cold light of morning, apologizes for taking advantage of her but declines to enter into a romantic relationship with her
Option #4: Angus accepts her advances and, although he is not interested in Marigold, becomes romantically involved with her because he does not want to feel like a jerk

While #2-#4 are bad for Angus, Marigold, or both, it's not really anybody's business theirs.  If Marigold gets hurt and needs support or if either need advice in the aftermath, then they should be available as friends.  But it sounds like Dora, Marten, and Faye think they should stick their noses where they don't belong.

I wanna clarify again that I'm not complaining: like I said, it actually doesn't bother me because I LIKE romantic plots. (Imma girlie girl.)  But it's something I've noticed and like I said, if I was gonna offer any critique, it's that just as he's constantly evolving his art, he might also want to look into diversifying his storytelling.  Honestly I don't care if he does, but from an objective perspective, I think it would be good to have a more varied set of tools in hand to rely on.

Oh. And I'm totally rooting for Marigold and Angus. I also want Sven back, like, bad.
