Odal:
New prediction: Marten turns around and yells at Faye, "F*ck your alcoholic addiction and your emergency bourbon!" then pulls out a gat and goes all blap blap at her. He's enraged and is not well versed in the gansta sideways shooting so he misses every shot. Faye will panic and run behind the counter but she'll trip and fall and bust her head open. Marten will chase quickly, to pop a cap in her, but when he sees she's already injured he immediately comes to his senses. He jaw hangs open for a second and the gun falls out of his hand.
He'll call an ambulance and she'll be rushed to the hospital and she'll get taken care of and get stitches in her head. After she wakes up, she'll ask Marten what happened. He'll say that she tripped and that he tried to stop her fall but he wasn't quick enough. While still being drowsy, she'll start to sweet-talk Marten. Marten will enjoy the moment, knowing what would come next, and having been waiting for it for so long.
Faye will confess about how much she's wanted him for so long. About how she's played with herself at night thinking of him. About how she imagined Marten being the man making love to her when it was really Sven. About how she wished Angus was really Marten in desguise. And of course Marten will give her a hug and tell her that he really was Angus in disguise. Of course, this is when Marten and Faye start making out in the hospital bed. With one thing leading to another, they do the deed, but only in the missionary position because Faye is still in pain and to move positions hurts her head. That and Marten is a vanilla kind of guy anyway.
As for their distant future, it was only a matter of time before she saw his gat and has flashbacks of what really happened that made her bust her head open. Which will be more drama for another day.
My prediction about Dora remains, so just a short recap on that: Dora and Sven talk, and both of them in a depressed state revert to their old ways. They hook up, she gets pregnant and Sven leaves Dora behind the night after the hookup because he can't live up to the fact that he just had sex with his sister.
Deadlywonky:
Your mental image of Marten using a semi auto gangster style just made me spray tea all over my monitor! that has got to be one of the most hilarious/unlikley things that could possibly happen.
The development I am most looking forward to is Sven's reaction (and how Dora spins it) I think Faye going for the Midnight Hobo is for herself rather than Marten, he's going to go to Sven's and get into another argument with Dora. However I reckon that Sven will take Marten's side, he knows about Dora's past relationship issues, he might not know about her issues surrounding his apparent crusing through life. Any which way this happens there will be character development, I can't wait.

I don't think anyone hates Hanners though. We all love Hanners!

Man, FUCK Hanners. Who does she think she is, being all quirky and from
SPACE and adorable.
(...oh God, it kind of hurt my soul to even do that sarcastically. I can't hate Hannelore, either.)
Speaking of turkeys, I wonder if one of the Lust Tukeys will have a thing for Marigold (they seem to put their carnal designs on the most eccentric people in the strip)

Join with us, good Doctor, and may your Dickbroom flail in the face of many an ignorant Fan-Troll. Ride 'til only the open plains lie before you!
Also, good to see some saner opinions reading through this thread, especially in the last few pages. Maybe if we actually gave Jeph a little more credit instead of screaming in hate every time he does something new, he'd be more cheerful about visiting these threads. :P It's a pleasure to see some folks do agree. The Order of the Dickbroom smiles upon you all.

You do me too much honor, sir. Though our brooms be stilled now, I shall stand vigilant with you...for we know they will return.

Um ?
sidpatt:
Long time listener first time blah blah blah. This post isn't going to be some great WoT that other new posters have had. (edit: okay maybe it is.)
I find it interesting that, like others have mentioned, we're projecting all over these people, and one of the major projections has come out in the form of hooking together everyone in the comic who may be remotely single or unattached or whatever. Maybe this is just me but... seriously? Do people sit around in social circles and do this? When some friends break up, are people just sitting around waiting to connect the dots to some other large web of spit?
Now now, I know the implication here is that these fictional characters are our friends, which isn't so healthy in and of itself, but the vast majority of the non-UBMEOD discussion rolling around prior to this last page or so isn't entirely healthy anyway. Point being, I think it's almost insulting to these characters to assume that (a) what's done is done and there's no reconciliation to be had (I have a sort of different guess on how the whole "reconciliation at Sven's" thing works out, essentially Dora coming to a realization of how awful she's being and at least temporarily breaking it off regardless of Marten's best attempts) and (b) they can only exist in some pairings.
Marigold is an awesome character. So is Hanners. So is Tai. So is Sven. All four are strong individual personas on their own who can make me laugh or think, and they don't need another warm body to complete them (though some will use one from time to time to do so). So maybe they might end up with someone else in the near future (I mean, it's certainly possible), but I don't think they need such a thing to make them complete, and I don't think that pairing them off arbitrarily (or even based on what makes the most sense) is remotely fair to any of them.
So, in other words, if this is the end, let it be. Breakups (usually) leave one hell of a wake that needs to be processed, and if this comic is headed in that direction, it could be well into the new year before even the outlying characters are fully resolved over all the issues that would be caused by it. Sure, maybe Dora and Tai hook up, or some other such thing, but I highly doubt we have another situation where Dora is simply waiting for the other shoe to drop to pick up Marten (Tai said point blank otherwise not twenty comics ago, more of the setup for this to happen). That was a pretty iffy plotline back in the day, and I think Jeph's writing has gotten better to the point where he can adequately deal with the complicated nuclear fallout of this relationship, should he choose to go that way, without a Yelling Bird EVERYONE FUCKS quick out.
tl;dr -- Sit back and enjoy the ride. If "enjoy" is the appropriate term for what we have in store.
