Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: The Duke on 10 Feb 2011, 09:41 ---That is an interesting theory. Do we know the timeline of that for sure?
--- End quote ---
No, we're lacking the information on that.
Here's a weird thought. There's one character who doesn't engage in self-sabotage. Would you say that means she's the character with the best mental health? It's Hannelore.

As someone who has dealt with mental illness presumably her whole life, I think Hannelore is the most self aware or all the characters, and knows how to not self sabotage. She knows how to monitor her own behaviour in a way the others do not. And so I'd have to agree with your observation.

--- Quote from: Penquin47 on 10 Feb 2011, 00:27 ---Sure, I'd probably get over it quickly, but the fact that he was going to two different places at the same time to flirt with two different people who have a lot in common, at least superficially, and that after dating the other one and it not working out he came back to me?
--- End quote ---
Um, yeah, that sounds like Life.
--- Quote from: Penquin47 on 10 Feb 2011, 00:27 ---Sure, Faye wasn't emotionally ready to date anyone when Angus and Renee started dating, but that doesn't mean she can't be upset that he started going with Plan A and now she's Plan B.
--- End quote ---
You want to be upset because you're not Plan A?
I'd estimate Angus' first crush ("Plan A") was probably before adolescence, so by his age now, whoever he meets is approximately Plan Z17B12.
Seriously, you'd let that bother you?
--- Quote from: Penquin47 on 10 Feb 2011, 00:27 --- And while it's somewhat irrational, it still hurts.
--- End quote ---
Life is irrational and hurts; you don't need to add to it!
parvles:
I don't know, I think I would be kind of bothered by that. If my boyfriend's last girlfriend was someone who looked and talked like me, had the same attitude as I did, and worked the same job, it would be weird. Especially having had him tell me already that at the end of the relationship he had decided that his ex was a crazy bitch. For someone who is working on trust and opening up and needing to take things slow, knowing how much anger he had towards his ex and how similar you are to her is a little scary.

I think some of us are reading into this more than what's there. (Big surprise, right?)
Let's review:
[*] 375 is considered to be when "proto-Angus" appeared on the scene (during the "let's get a pizza" arc).
[*] He was actually "named" after being tossed across the bar in 784.
[*] The whole "break up with his ex" comment was about 1,000 strips later (1363).
[*] The most recent strip with him and Faye before the "break up" strip was 1124, when he had the gastro-intestinal distress.
My suspicion: right after 900, he met Renee. She told him about the snail incident (which may have happened prior to the start of the strip); he was probably only seeing her from roughly 900 to 1363.
I don't think he was seeing her for all that long, personally.
