I had a sofa that would swallow undergarments in these sorts of situations. It also had some kind of strange quantum-wormhole effect on lose change. Whenever I needed a couple of bucks in dimes and nickles I'd go check the sofa. 99% of the time there would be plenty of change, and usually some sort of garment from my previous "visitor."

Oh alarm is warranted, sure, just honest threats of emasculation are a bit of an overreaction. Not that I'm going "FAYE IS HUGE BITCH BLUH BLUH", she's right to be piqued, but at this point, she should give Angus a liiiiittle more trust.

akronnick · « **Reply #102 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 00:29 »

Faye's not threatening Angus....

She's simply honestly communicating the consequences of him betraying her trust by stealing and doin unspeakable things with her undergarments...

It's important to communicate in a relationship.

Looking at the bigger picture, she's doing a normal relationship thing.

Yay for mostly healthy Faye!

Great angry-face from Faye, and fear-face from Angus. They are obviously meant for each other.

I don't know about you all, but that was a beautifully drawn potted plant in the last two panels. Jeph's artwork has really come along.

Light petting and a hot chick without her bra on and you notice the potted plant.

Just making sure.

akronnick · « **Reply #107 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 01:11 »

If the petting is so intense that they can't remember who took off the bra, I think that qualifies as heavy petting.

raoullefere · « **Reply #108 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 01:42 »

I'll buy that for a dollar. Besides, c'mon Faye, remember how mesmerized he was when they were still holstered? With that gone, there's no way Angus's brain is functioning at the level of trophy-taking. The best he could probably have managed was to sling it over his shoulder or put it over his head.

The real question is this: what did Pintsize offer Momo to get her to swipe the bra? Yeah, I think he's ready to be MacCavity. "Monster of Depravity" is getting more and more suitable a title for him.

foozlesprite · « **Reply #109 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 01:46 »

I really shouldn't read this comic when low on sleep. I got halfway through the comic thinking Faye was with Sven because I didn't look hard enough, and was confused as shit.

Yeah well I just spend a whole day studying for a calculus final. My brain is a little overheated at the moment, and I think my priorities center closed early.

Still, it is a nice plant, and Jeph gave it plenty of panel to work with.

Well she did try to choke the life out of Martin way back when he washed her pants.... So I say she's come a LONG way. Classic Faye would have vaporized Angus with RAGE and been done with it.

We all know what Marten wants (and what he needs) even if he would never admit it to himself.

So where's the evidence to suggest this? Just wishing it to be so isn't enough. Without evidence, this goes nowhere.

Sven suggested it to Marten in the comic (though not with Hannelore), so it's not like the idea in-comic would have been out of nowhere. In fact, I'd wager that the larger in-comic reason why Hannelore left was because she knew about the potential for things to head that way if she stayed too much longer and got too much more drunk alongside Marten and used the Marigold excuse to tacitly bail out early and avoid (at best) horrifyingly awkward and terrible sex or (at worst) the arrival of Zalgo in the QC-verse.

Well, given Dora's reaction to Sven agreeing to the pretend date, I'd say Hanners is the likely cause of any future invasions by extraplanar entities. Not that Pintsize hasn't tried to summon tentacled beings.

I really don't see such a scenario entering Hannelore's mind yet, myself - if it had, there would've been signs of panic.

Hanners knows that, until the cloning's complete, she can't be everywhere at once to help all her friends.

She's getting to be quite the little mother hen... responsibility becomes her, and lets her focus on something other than her own problems.

Angus: Marigold, how many bras do you have on?

Marigold: Wh-what?

Faye: Hey I found it!

Angus: Oh ok nevermind. 'Night! *shuts door*

Marigold: ...

Only problem with that scenario is that Marigold would be playing the new expansion for WoW, so she probably isn't hearing anything beyond her guildmates while they play a heroic. And possibly forgetting to eat anything, hence Hanners' idea to actually make sure Marigold has something to eat.

O'course, the next comic is when Hanners turns up as Faye is leaving...

Does she:
a) Tell Faye what Marten is up to, eliciting angst and/or confusion on Faye's part, or
b) Trip over Faye's discarded brassiere in the doorway, causing hilarity to ensue?

vettechinohio · « **Reply #124 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 06:25 »

Or does she:
c) ogle/comment over Faye's bra-less state?
d) walk in to find Momo dancing around with it on her head? (pirated idea from previous comment, because it's awesome)

I hope Faye brought a coat, as I wouldn't want to walk a block or two home sans bra without something else snug to cover my pendulous parts (:

Other than being an incredible stress reliever if the people involved aren't chock full of psychological issues (when talking about it solving nothing), you mean? Some people seem to think that after handling the fake date well that Hanners can handle a relationship now (which is really hilarious, even if dumb).

I think it would be more of a borderline-subconscious bit of mental planning, plus imbibing alcohol to "take the edge off" probably played a part as well.

Not a poll—a Hidden Object game! Somewhat akin to Where's Waldo, but no eyes in the white circles*, and nothing else except lines for the straps…

On sober thought, Where's Titsling probably wouldn't catch on.

*Somehow, I doubt Faye goes in for colors.

Hah! Ah the old post-makeout clothes search^TM. Watch out now, you stop paying attention for one minute and then BAM: clothes start "disappearing" like mad! And Angus' shirt is even open a bit! Looks like Faye is more forceful than I had expected!

Now I could guess as to what Marigold is doing, but I'm sure she's just wishing they'd keep it down and turn off that damn music!

Come on, making out to The Decemberists? Why that's....

hm.

ANYWAYS. I personally think that Faye cares for Marty enough to clean up his vomit should he either yak when she gets there or have fallen asleep in it. I mean if she's leaving a makeout so intense that her bra insta-ported somewhere without either of the participant's knowledge, then she must care about poor piss-drunk Marty quite a bit.

Borderline fanfic, really.

As far as Faye fondling herself, I'm sure Angus will do the honors...

of lending her a coat, or something.

I see Momo taking the vanished undergarment to a corner of the kitchen, and rigging it up as a hammock... she just needed some down time away from all the RFI generated by Mari's intense gaming session. And yes, Hanners will cross paths with Faye. Marten doesn't stand a chance of being left alone.

Faye can defend herself; she's punched him to the floor twice, if I remember right. And she won't show up just in order to check up on him - she lives there. And the worst Marten's done when drunk was to demonstrate that he would fail at hitting on a stranger.

I seriously doubt anything like this will happen. If Marten was seeing the beast of Bourbon just as Hanners was leaving, then chances are he'll be shitfaced by the time Faye gets to him. Wasted, depressed, and just dumped, his libido's not exactly at full power right now. I see him more likely crying on her shoulder and then puking on her, or at the worst, getting mad and yelling at her, jealous of her new relationship.

Then again, I'm aware that I'm seriously tempting fate by saying I doubt it'll happen, so....it's possible. Oh god I hope it doesn't. Marten needs his best friend right now and I really don't want to see him alienate her by drunkenly coming onto her.

I agree, and as I'm not the calibre of writer the Jeph is by any stretch of the imagination, I wouldn't endeavour to try and predict what he would actually write so went way outfield, hence picking what I considered the least possible outcome from the poll. It was in no sense intended to be realistic.

As for dangling a foot, really not the case. I didn't think that it contravened forum ettiquette, but have taken on board the feedback of elder and wiser heads and already remove the offending material. You can be assured that I will avoid crossing that line in the future as best I can.

OK, now that's a shame. If nothing else, I admired the Rube Goldberg-esque quality of the contrivance. It was massively silly, and out of character for most of the participants, but the mere fact that you connected those two absurdly distant points was impressive.

I'm more in line with the "cry and puke and Faye" option than anything else, assuming he's even still conscious by the time she gets there. That's more in line with Marten's established character.

Not only is his coming on to Faye unlikely, if he tries it by grabbing her exposed boobs he'll most likely end up in the hospital with a concussion. And with Faye having some 'splainin' to do to his mother...

Carl-E · « **Reply #148 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 12:17 »

Faye and Marten drink and talk the rest of the night away, and both pass out on the couch, Marten leaning against Faye. Ms. Reed shows up, having taken a cab from the airport, and arrives to find her son's head nestled between Faye's bosoms.

"Well, I see you've moved on already. I'll just leave you two alone..."
