Well, at least she didn't punch him in the nuts. Faye is definitely still way insecure and defaults to punchings when threatened/attracted (same thing for her, sorta). I doubt that tendency is ever gonna go away completely, but may lessen as she grows up a bit more and deals with her issues. I'm not justifying her behavior, but I'm not surprised by it. And Angus is the guy she threw across a room once, so a few punchings aren't likely to faze him too much.
Regarding Marigold, as Pintsize said in response to Marten saying he would ear-fuck Dora: "Fucking finally!" I'm glad Jeph didn't drag out the reveal. Tai was the perfect person to say it, too -- as far as we know, she had no idea she had to keep it a secret, and though she's much more self-confident than Marigold, she's easily just as self-centered (if for different reasons). When I voted Tai in the poll before the strip was up, I had something like this in mind. I look forward to seeing how the rest of this plays out.
LOL at them watching the turtle-bones-croc vid (Hanners' comment on that makes me think of Marigold, actually). Pity Marten's drunk-bubbles have popped -- he's gonna have to work to get those back.
I was sure we'd be seeing Steve and Cosette there too, but either they aren't there or Jeph hasn't gotten around to fitting them into a strip yet. Or maybe they're going to arrive fashionably late. And I still wonder if Pintsize is duct-taped in a closet somewhere.
Edited because I hate typos. -_-

Ahhh, I feel nostalgic. It's been so long since there was a Punching.

Hell when i was in my teens and early 20's I totally knew people who would just hit each other on the shoulder or something for whatever applicable reason, no one cared, it didn't make the behavior wrong. Hell, i've offered my shoulder to people before when they say they just want to punch something really hard. I say go ahead. It's not gonna do any damage, and its not gonna wound my ego or hurt my feelings. In some groups its considered acceptable to say horrible cruel offensive things to your friends and no one gets mad, because that's just the way they do things.
If the people in QC universe actually cared that Faye was punching people, then they would stand up to Faye and say hey, stop hitting people or we aren't going to be friends anymore. If no one in the qc universe actually seems to care or think its a problem, then I see no reason why I should care about behavior deemed acceptable in a social circle.

I definitely see where you're coming from, but requiring an ice pack means it is doing damage.

--- Quote from: Heranje on 07 Jun 2010, 03:42 ---Hmm. I wonder how Marigold will react to this. [...] Or she could try to figure out why Faye is better/more desirable than her, and maybe even try to copy Faye's behavior to win Angus over (which would be amusing - awkward and failed attempts at snark, hooray! Though not so much the random violence and bitchy attitude, if she copied that too).

This could be interesting and even goofy idea.
I could just imagine Marigold snapping, and trying to be exactly like Faye in every way. Dressing like her, walking like her, talking like her, acting like her. Dies her hair to look like Faye, and taking her name too.
Cue plot-arc where she locks up Faye in an abandon warehouse, and tries to replace Faye in everyone's day to day life. Nobody buys it, but because she doesn't hit as hard as Faye, they just decide to go along with it for the sake of bodily preservation.

Perhaps they don't speak up because they're afraid of her?
Has anyone really stood up to Faye before and said, "Stop it, your behavior is entirely unacceptable." Dora's probably gotten the closest.
