For the record, I think Marigold is a 1000 times more sane person than both Faye and Hanners.
For once, I'm hardly attracted to her. If that isnt a sign then what is ?
Heliphyneau:
Poor Sven. Yeah, not something I usually think about him, but his sister assuming the worst about him can hardly be encouraging to him. Granted, he's sort of earned the reaction based on his past actions, but his most recent behavior is quite contrary to the cavalier attitude he once had regarding other people's feelings vs. his needs. Sven has basically gone cold turkey on dames. Dora's reaction tells me that maybe they haven't been communicating much lately, which is sad as well. Loved the angry postures/expressions in panel 3, and Sven's line to Dora in panel 4 -- Crazy Bitch(TM) is likely genetic, but there's no reason she couldn't have gotten it from both sides.

She's embarrassed? Well, have her face Sven and give him the book and apologize, don't turn it into this horrible awful thing - that's probably only gonna make it worse.

I completely agree with you here. The impulse people (Dora being the prime example) seem to have with Marigold is "OMG protect her!", and it some cases that's great, but I think part of the reason she's still so fucking socially inept is that people keep doing this -- leaping in front of her to "save" her from whatever shit is going down. I would very much like Marigold, at some point, to finally become frustrated enough with that to snap at everyone and say "Stop trying to protect me! I'm not a delicate fl-- . . . oh crap."
Somewhere, probably at the library, Marten is sipping and thinking "Mmmm, soda."

Yep, having a room so messy that rats were living in it, severe social phobias - Marigold is the picture of mental health. Especially when compared with two people who are in at least in therapy and demonstrably getting better.
LunaCorn:
I just keep laughing to myself because something tells me that Sven and Marigold already know each other, just through other means and not on first name basis.
Of course, I'm probably wrong. Time will tell :evil:
Is it cold in here?:
They could easily be acquainted through World of Warcraft.
Thank you, Hellphyneau, for the "delicate flower" thought.
