CEOIII:
I'm trying to remember how Marten averted the awkward zone last time. I keep thinking about the phrase "boobs are awesome", but a) I don't think that was it, and b) I don't think it would work in this situation.

Fancy, doily-esque waffles festooned with rainbow sprinkles, starfruit, cotton candy, and a tiny parasol. :-D Accompanied by calliope music.

Any friend you could lose with that remark is a friend you never really had.

Agreed. These guys have all be plenty awkward with each other over time -- hell, awkwardness is practically the theme of the comic! 'Things get awkward, then you deal' is how it seems to work in QC-land, which is good because I would get very bored or annoyed with a strip that was more like 'things get awkward, then everyone overreacts forever.'

But I hope that's not the way it goes; not least, Hanners would finally implode with embarrassment.
--- End quote ---
I'm kind of wondering what will happen if Hanners gets to the awkwardness tipping point -- perhaps a spontaneous 'get the fuck over it' diatribe? Followed by Hanners apologizing for her outburst and everyone else going 'well crap, she's right.' Whatever happens, I'm sure it'll be more interesting than arguments about grits.
iduguphergrave:
Marten remembers that the way to defuse awkwardness is talk about boobs and put on fancy dress. In his panic he blurts out:
"You know, your boobs would look great in a fancy dress!"
Faye: *eyetwitch*
Hanners: *head asplode*
CEOIII:
Let's hear it for Google!

At a minimum, they should all go out for beer now. That'd be a start.

I don't think getting drunk would be a good idea for Marten right now. Around Faye it could be hazardous to his health.
