Tiogyr:
I am personally hoping for this arc to lead up to a Zalgo appearance on Friday to prepare people for absolutely nothing happening on the 21st.

I agree entirely. He might even allow it to go further than it already has, but he won't pull the trigger on it. How do I deduce this? By the simple fact that there has never been a pairing in this strip which I approve of. :laugh:
We'll know ol' Jephy is doing a bit of a ship tease if Hannelore just happens to be having a cup of coffee when Mannelore pops by with the cupcakes.
Also this deal is going to work out badly for Dora because Faye will eat all the cupcakes leaving none for the customers. Will Angus still love Faye when she has a bigger muffin-top? Will she still make his dough rise? Tune in next week to find out.

Am I the only one who didn't see that as a pick up line or a come on? I'm Dora's age, I feel like Jim does, and I'm not that far removed from those kids, age-wise.

True, but in that instance, (which wasn't the first time Faye and Penelope came to blows) there was an actual disagreement which led to the exchange. Here, Faye seems to be manhandling Padma at random, and what's more, Padma is commenting on the verbal exchange between Jim and Dora and not even reacting to Faye trying to re-engineer her upper extremity.
--- End quote ---
we--ell, talking about coming to blows, Padma and Faye "made acquaintances" sparring in the street... :laugh:
what I think happened "behind the scene" is something like this:
P: wow, that's a nice throwing ladle..
F: gimme that!!
P: no way!
>TONK!<
F: ok lady, it's schooling time!
--- End quote ---
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Faye was related to the Thing. Not because of size or anything, just her economic and direct use of clobbering to fix things.
Still rooting for Padma in these skirmishes, though. Go Padma!

Very unlikely IMO; I can't seeing him deliberately encouraging the forum to do things that he specifically hates. It's merely the way the story has gone at this point in his mind - or the characters' minds, as Jeph is one of those writers who finds that sometimes the characters dictate the story in ways he finds unexpected, even to himself (this is even suggested by his comment).

I dunno, almost feels like a false flag to me. Like he's engineering an excuse to finally indiscriminately swing around the ban-hammer like it's Mjolnir. Nuke half the board and leave everybody else too scared to say anything about the comic ever again. :mrgreen:
Note: The preceding post is completely facetious in nature. This poster is not attempting to suggest anything of any nature and has no definitive opinion on the purpose of the possibly flirtatious behavior of any of the characters of late.
