Aegir:
Does Marten keep his hoodie in a frame on his wall when he's not using it???
Border Reiver:
No, he claims to have a closet full of them.
And apparently they're reproducing....
celticgeek:
Actually, he does keep it in a frame:
Framed Hoodie
Sapnish:
Since a bunch of you have already said things I wanted to say, I felt I could point out-- this was possibly the slowest fight ever, if the time on the clock is any indication. Faye bursts into the room at 1:04, Panel 2 is 1:05 and Panel 3 is 1:06.
Everything else I was gonna comment on has already been commented on. :-p

That's his old one, remember? He and Dora framed it in remembrance because Dora wanted to throw it out, as it smelled like French Fries. (can't find link, blah[although in my search I found the comic where Dora pounce/cuddles Faye, and for the record, Dora IS wearing pants.])

Well, if she'd wanted a lil' Captain in her, she should have gone home with Angus. :-P
--- Quote from: raoullefere on 02 Sep 2010, 09:05 ---No. A little more extreme than usual, though. I'm surprised she said either instead of neither, though—that's a given with those I know who speak like Faye does when they hit their stride.

It's possible that Jeph wanted her accent to show but preferred to stop short of making her sound like a bumpkin. Nothing against bumpkins, of course.

Neither. She looks more in shock than anything. And a bit sad too.

I agree. I also wonder if her reaction will be to leave 'for Marten's own good' or somesuch.

In shock and a little scared. I believe we're seeing Dora's "Oh, fuck" face. And the reason she looks more like Marten there is because of the lips -- it's one of the elements of the newer style Jeph's been using, distinguishing male/female by whether the mouths are drawn with defined lips or not. He's tried defining the lips on males once or twice (I think), but seems not to have nailed it to his satisfaction yet. With Dora's face lipless in the last panel, he may want the lipped/lipless element to be more indicative of expression with no ties to gender. Or maybe I don't know wtf I am talking about and Dora has morphed into Marten for a wacky role-swap arc. Whichever.
Leaving "for Marten's own good" seems a bit Eeyore even for ole Spookybutt. I'd say this is her cue to agonize over what she said and did for the duration of the evening.
As much as I loved Faye busting in the door in panel one (and it's nice to see that Faye's panic attack managed to transition into righteous anger), I love the perspective in the last panel -- Faye's curves in the forground and Dora distantly in the back. A perfect accompaniment to Faye's parting shot and just a well-framed image in any event. Very well done.
