Omigod. So much shit is going to go down. After Sven cheating on Faye, it was all ladedahappyfluffyponynondramaness and now THIS. It's delicious.

Sven and Faye weren't together. So technically he didn't cheat.

Horray for MariNgus!

Monday: Faye barges in and breaks up the kiss. Awkwardness (bad or good) directly follows and it can't be resolved because they keep getting interrupted.

No. Awkwardness has already comenced, look at Angus' face. He's going to talk Mar-mar down, but it's not gonna be easy - he's not as think as you drunk he is.

pendrake · « **Reply #211 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 03:33 »

For comic #1629...

1. Hannelore - Yay, Worry Hat still around and seeing use.

2. Faye - ....."FFFUCK!!!", I have had late-realization moments like that.

For comic #1630...

dun dun DUN! classic soap-opera cliffhanger moment!

Unfortunately, I am going to be a nay-sayer and say that this will end badly for Marigold, if not Angus as well.

EDIT ADD: Also, I notice how Marigold kiss has "popped" Angus' drunk bubbles, nice touch for drawing a sobering-shock.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #212 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 04:24 »

And now we will commence the rampant speculation on where things will go from this moment of awkwardness/awesomeness.

And as my next to final responsibility for this week in this thread:

What's Hannelore worried about?

What if I really am a cyborg? 5 (8.6%)
Did I get all the dust off the ceiling? 3 (5.2%)
Why can't my reality match the fantasy? 7 (12.1%)
Do I need to reassess my system for sorting underwear? 16 (27.6%)
Do I really have nothing to worry about right now? 27 (46.6%)

Welp. I am not quite awake yet this morning, but upon reading comicness, my mind formulates one thing and one thing only:

Ho. Shit.

I already feel bad for Mar. And for Angus for doing what he is about to have to do. Jeeeez. I hope so, anyway. If they fuck, this will only end shittily for Faye.

erikotaku · « **Reply #214 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 05:37 »

He just surprised, he obviously didn't realize she felt like that about him at all. They make a cute couple, let it develop.

Sven needs to do the exact opposite of his persona, and try desperately try to win Faye back.
IMHO they are perfect for each other. Polar opposites that are exactly what the other needs.
Faye needs a confident, experienced man in her life, and Sven needs a strong-willed woman to keep him in check.

jwhouk · « **Reply #215 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 06:05 »

She kisses the boy!

That's the third one in this strip so far - one ended well, one ended not so well, and this one's the rubber match.

(And that's only a partial pun.)

I'm leaning towards Faye barging in, seeing Maribear kissing him (this time or again in the "talking down" process, or she could even be standing in the doorway now and we just don't see it) and Faye freaks out and runs. Angus is then torn between following and dealing with Maribear. Oh the drama, it's delicious! ::nom nom nom nom::

You go, Mar-Bear! You get you some of that inebriated nookie!

... at least, as has been mentioned, Faye bursts in on them in mid-coitus.

Here's to Marigold fucking Angus, freaking out when she wakes up, crying rape, and sending ol Angus McArgumentpants to PMITA prison.

*drinks*

zagraf · « **Reply #223 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 08:00 »

My guess is that Angus will disengage and be all, "Wha-buh-huh? I like you Marigold but not in that way," thereby (unintentionally but unavoidably) breaking poor Mar's heart, before Faye barges in. That's if she barges in rather than sit around going "fuck fuck fuck what have I done they're probably boning right now (etc.)"

I'll probably turn out to be wrong, but, y'know, just for fun.

If I recall from a particular Bloom County (where Milo explains several comic drawing conventions) the official term is "Boozles".

And the motion lines that are drawn behind someone making a rapid departure* are called "Zipples"

Fixed that. A unique way to quickly sober up, apparently effective, but I somehow doubt it'll catch on. For one thing, I don't think Marigold would be willing to go from house to house kissing drunks. Could be wrong, though.

Since Faye's already been informed this is her fault for bailing, freakout and run is unlikely. I suspect we'll either get one (the freaking) or the other (the running, but quietly). Or something completely different. There, I called it: whatever happens will be something completely different. I can't lose!

Sven needs a strong-willed woman to keep him in check.

That would be Lydia. Anyway, Sven's got to learn and want to keep himself in check. Otherwise, all you're talking about is getting him a keeper. Anybody who wants to do that should buy a dog. Or, if you enjoy both challenges and losing, a cat. In a relationship, being responsible for your SO's behavior gets old, fast.

Anyone else notice that "Awkward-bomb" abbreviates to "A-bomb"?

Marigirl never went through the painful embarrassing high school experiments. This means all her ideas about romance come from media, and mostly from anime.

Getting hurt is part of living, but I still don't want it to happen to her.

Tuitsuro · « **Reply #228 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 09:20 »

I'd say that no matter what happens, there's a 90% chance Angus gets hit/kicked in the groin by the end of the evening.

LeeC · « **Reply #229 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 09:27 »

I dont think Faye could barge in. 1) its not her house so she may be polite and knock, 2) the door may be locked, 3) She may just wait it out and ask Angus about it the next day.

now in this scenario several things can happen.
a)Angus dates Marigold and she changes her WoW ways or doesnt and causes strain on the relationship.
b)Angus rejects Marigold. Goes to CoD the next day and Faye asks about it. Angus is shocked that he was oblivious to Mari's intention, tells Faye what happened and that he rejected her because he likes a certain barista. Faye then loves the fact that this man actually rejects the advances of another woman and starts dating Angus. Marigold, with the help of Momo, plots the destruction and demise of Faye. Comedy ensues.
c)Same as above but Faye doesnt date Angus, but comes to the realization that she has feelings for him.
d) Angus dates marigold and everything works out fine except Faye realizes she missed her chance with a guy and re-evaluates herself romantically...again.
e) Angus explodes into a bazillion tiny pieces from the shock and Marigold goes on the lamb to avoid manslaughter/murder charges.

on a side note, I wonder how often Jeph looks at these threads and laughs at our attempts to write/speculate what will happen.

and on the poll I have to say when Elan first kissed Haley in order of the stick was adorable!

haha the Marten Dora kiss was very romantic and was just as equally if not more so awesome, but I figure I give OOTS some props as I was re-reading that very story arc last night.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I may have to retect my QC vote and go with what you've overlooked: specifically, when Eiji kissed Reika in Red String. http://www.redstring.strawberrycomics.com/?p=1710, although to get the full effect, you have to start here: http://www.redstring.strawberrycomics.com/?p=1123

Edit: Retract, not retect. As much as I'd like to claim I made a new word, I have no idea what retect means.

Heliphyneau · « **Reply #235 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 10:59 »

Props to kent eh for mentioning Milo from Bloom County! Had forgotten about 'boozles'.

And right, they are in a different building, albeit one that uses a similar interior color scheme. I knew what I posted wouldn't happen, but today's strip was a nice 'oh snap' moment. I'm not sure what Angus is going to say to Marigold, but I doubt that Faye is going back there -- she probably grumbled about it and went to bed, assuming the worst (well, if 'the worst' = 'some other girl is banging my not-boyfriend'). Maybe Angus will assume Faye doesn't really like him and will start avoiding her, or maybe he'll freak out and, heedless of Marigold's feelings, will head right for her at CoD in the morning. It'll be interesting to see where things go from here.

Oh, and I realize that there was no AnthroPC interlude, but Pintsize did really seem to want Mexican food (chimichangas, specifically), so it's possible he could have gone straight to the taco source only to arrive after Faye left. Perhaps he'd see something worthy of uploading to 4Chan. Or FailBlog.

Possibly the part where Arthur has sex with his sister Morgause* (accidentally, because they don't know they're related; Arthur is tricked, because Morgause wishes him ill or is making a power grab; and others—it depends on the teller). The result: everyone's favorite bastard, Mordred, who winds up killing Arthur.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Arthur/Guenivere/Lancelot triangle, but that doesn't really make sense, unless you switch genders - one guy romantically involved with two girls. Well, trying to be involved with one, then pursued by another.

And look how that turned out!

Would that make her Merlin? Or The Lady In The (Coffee) Lake?

Tuitsuro · « **Reply #249 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 21:37 »

I think it's a bit simpler than that; Angus has already been referenced as the White Knight, and Marigold's basically putting his knightly chivalry to the test. Will he decline the invitation and send her away, or will he face the challenge and unsheath his sword for battle?
