DarcOfTheShadows:
Tomorrow's comic will be Pintsize and Winslow.

Border Reiver:
Talking to Momo

Shteevie:
I guess I feel like I shouldn't need a schematic of the building to know where everyone lives in order to enjoy the comic.

If that is Faye yelling 'Fuck!", I still have a lot of questions. Does Faye reciprocate Angus's feelings? [if not before, is this her admitting to do so now?] Is she upset because she left so that her friend Marigold could have some drunken alone-time with a boy she's not all that interested in, but now realizes that he's sure to refuse Marigold's advances and therefore, Faye herself is a party to Marigold's embarrassment and shame at being denied?

I mean, for all we know, Faye goes running back to M+A's apartment, catches them mid-coitus, and joins in. [Ok, so it's a pretty safe bet that won't happen, as it would more bewbs than Jeph has ever put in a comic before, but still].

Maybe the point of the strip in question was to ask the reader to try & figure out what the 'Fuck!' is actually about. Maybe Marten stubbed his toe.

Which, of course, is exactly what will happen.
Why? Because of the Law of Webcomic Humor.

(Yeah, like Mari talking with Momo, we'd see how badly it went.)

And that Law is what I wasn't taking into account; the DRAMAtic words out of Dora's mouth weren't her offended/interfering feelings, they're Summing Up The Drama! that Jeph will leave hanging til Monday...


--- Quote from: Heliphyneau on 25 Mar 2010, 10:07 ---Well, it seems I gave Faye too much credit for personal growth by thinking she had considered Marigold's feelings.  Oh well.  And it took me a moment to figure out who was yelling "FFFUCK!" (which is the new "AUGH!")... but once I thought about it, it being Faye made the most sense...  So drunk Faye is impulsive and dumb (as previously established) but not maudlin.  Got it.  Funny how what she just did is essentially the opposite of what she did, drunk, with Sven.  Yay progress?

I can already picture tomorrow's comic in my head.  Oh, it won't happen the way I think it will (it never does!), but it would involve Angus waking up, smiling, turning to the lady in bed with him, being shocked to see that it's Marigold instead of Faye...

Poor Marigold.


--- Quote from: wargrafix on 25 Mar 2010, 10:07 ---Honestly Mari is far more stable than Faye.
--- End quote ---
Yeah, as one of your advertisers states, "Geeks make the best lovers." Marigold would be loyal, grateful, generous to Angus, while Faye would give him grief and prickly problems. But guess which one The Law of Webcomic Humor compels him to choose...?

--- Quote from: imaginaryideals on 24 Mar 2010, 17:22 ---QC is not an adventure comic, or a mystery solving comic, etc. And it's not like Jeph doesn't write non-romantic plotlines (mostly anything to do with Hanners, but also like Faye's backstory, Vespa Girl... uh... okay I can't think of anything else...)
--- End quote ---

Let's see...

- Every comic that existed as of when I found the site (i.e. all of the original 100 or so) and at least the next 100.
- The arcs involving Faye's sister.
- The brief karaoke wars run, which did admittedly lead to a romantic plot.
- The drunken sledding arcs, which admittedly contained minor references to romantic plots as a minor part of them.
- Every single strip involving Hannelore.
- Every strip involving both Hannelore and Marigold, particularly the earlier ones.
- Every strip involving Raven without the hobo boyfriend or makeout hobo.
- Every strip centered around Pintsize.
- The arc with Marten looking for a job in the first place.
- The buying a guitar arc.
- The plot involving the band.
- Jimbo's very existence.
- The arcs involving both Marten's mom and his dad.
- Marten meeting Dora's parents.
- Everything in which Sven discussed his music.
- Sven's intern.
- Everything in which a major character gets injured (remember the punching intern?).
- The rivalries at Coffee of Doom (i.e. Faye vs. Raven; Faye vs. Penelope; Pen's "philosophical" rants; "Two girls enter, one girl leaves," etc.)
- Faye and Penelope exercising.

That's off the top of my head.
