Moxie:
And getting emotional over such nonexistent people is, I think, an excellent sign of Jeph's storytelling skills. To become emotionally invested in the characters shows that Jeph has brought them to life, in a way.

Ferahgo the Assassin:

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 08 Jun 2010, 12:17 ---It's a comedy and drama, populated with characters who have clear and realistic personalities, which is represented as a cartoon. Discussion of the behavior of fictional characters is something you can get a degree in: dismissing doing so because "it's just a cartoon" is a prejudiced refusal to acknowledge that a comic strip is a valid storytelling medium.

Yeah, but getting this worked up - and many cases, downright offended - over something so ridiculous in a cartoon strikes me as massively pathetic. It's not like Jeph was making some kind of complex, heady philosophical or political point and that's what people are getting worked up about. No, the whining is due to one character lightly punching another in the arm.

Perspective, ya'll.

Likely person: Tai.
Something stupid: Introduce Marigold to Jimbo.

Especially now, when it seems unlikely to have Angus around to remind Marigold that she can do better.

Incidentally, I think Angus maybe got too physically close to Faye, since she reacts most often with violence when that happens.

--- End quote ---

Now, I could be wrong but I seem to note that Faye is only physically violent with the boys, I don't remember her ever punching one of the other girls, and only the boys she kinda "like" (marten , Angus, maybe Sven) did we even seen her "hit" Steve?

It is possible that the punching is some kind of sublimation, it is the only way she can let her go near to the boys she is attracted to, as it is possible that I looking waaaay too much into this. :)
