--- Quote from: Renewman on 31 Jan 2011, 01:30 ---Call me fickle, but today's comic makes me quite upset. I understand that Faye has a life of her own and as adults, adults are going to get flirty and intimate with each other while dating. What I didn't like about the comic is the fact that it came RIGHT AFTER Marten is realizing he has to sleep alone for the first time in a while. I just thought the whole timing of the strip was off. I had to click 'Previous' on the screen just to see if I was imagining the comic coming right after Marten. Oh well... :|

Wait, what? So... it's ok that Faye will EVENTUALLY have sex with Angus, but it's not ok if she has it at the same time that her friend is single and moping about it? How does that work? When your friends go through breakups, do you abstain from having sex with/seeing your significant other during the time period that they are upset about it? I mean, personally, if my boyfriend broke up with me, I wouldn't expect my roommate to stop seeing or even inviting over HER boyfriend until I was less upset about my singledom.
Or do you mean you don't like the narrative joice Jeph made in putting this comic right after the Marten one? I gotta say, I think that's called "ironic juxtaposition."Or even thematic juxtaposition. As one relationship fades, another blossoms, cycle of life goes on, yadda yadda.

I was referring to Jeph's flow of showing Angus and Faye right after seeing a moping Marten. I just thought it was a little soon is all.

There were videos posted on the Internet on 9/12 with the collapse of the World Trade Center tower footage set to Benny Hill/Yakety Sax music (I laughed).
It is never "too soon".
EDITED for accuracy, the original posting was on SomethingAwful.com.
