They broke up 50 strips later.

Doesn't necessarily mean that it caused the break-up.
But it does give me an excuse to say "Post hoc, ergo propter hoc."
My favorite logical fallacy of all, partly because it's Latin and fun to say, but mostly because it was the title of the second e[pisode ot The West Wing.
Method of Madness:
Man, if you want good Latin, wait until the second season. Where he basically tells God to go fuck himself...in Latin.
akronnick:
Right before the Ghost of Mrs. Landingham visits him in the Oval Office during a tropical storm and tells him "Don't talk to God like that!"
"Two Cathedrals," one of my favorites!
(I have the entire series on DVD and watch them all at least three times a year.)
Method of Madness:
Nice. I watched the whole series on Netflix my senior year of high school (2005-2006) and haven't watched it since, although I do plan on acquiring them in a couple years, if they're out on Bluray and I have the spare currency.

Fixed that. I mean, where do you think you're posting? We do not sup meagerly with relationship porridge here, but feast upon post-coital pancakes.
I'm fine with Angus and Faye enjoying the pancakes; truly, I feel Faye deserves a lot of extra syrup and real butter just for moving forward as well as she has, both with Angus and otherwise. But I don't think they're long-term, simply because Jeph has not, so far, shown any inclination to write characters capable of long-term relationships. He seems to enjoy planting little relationship-shatterin' time bombs in them. I haven't seen the specific one in Angus and Faye yet, other than the obvious—that Faye, although better, still has problems, and they will manage to interfere with her life and relationship at some point.
Whether said dissolution will occur just as Marten is beginning another relationship is open to spec, but would be… interesting… for us, of course, to dissect. Hellish for the characters, but who cares? It's not like they're real or anything.
