WCDT: Independence Day Week (4 - 8 July, 1961-1965)
Method of Madness:
Really? I don't remember being that impressed with her belittling skills.
Akima:
An excellent strip to end the week, with (as someone pointed out earlier in the thread) rather cinematic "camera-work".
I suppose it means that I'm an irredeemable nerd, but I was bothered by the lighting in the last panel. The shadows on Dora and Marten in the earlier panels suggest that the light-source illuminating them is the window behind Marten, through which Faye is peeping at the end. There is no indication of a bright street-lamp or anything. So how can Faye, inside a brightly lit room, looking through glass, see anything much beyond her own reflection? I know it's probably just an acceptable break from reality, but I found it really distracting.

I think it's worth noting that we know next to nothing about her other than Angus' version of the story, which wasn't terribly in-depth anyway. It's also worth noting that part of the reason she's got a bad rep so early on may be because we've been led to project Faye's personality on her. Just sayin.

Seems to me from these two strips like it isn't quite that dark outside just yet. And Faye is rather close to the glass, too. (then again, the camera is not...)

If you break up often enough that you 'have it down to an art', I feel very sorry for you.
