Sign that you're too much of a "webcomic nerd":
I asked myself, "Hey, didn't Faye keep those cookies under the couch originally?"

Not that the term is a BAD thing anymore... :)
Border Reiver:
No, you're not a horrific wecomics nerd - at least not alone....
I recognized the Pepperidge Farm cookies as well. She's progressed enough now that she doesn't need to hide them at least.

--- Quote from: LTK on 21 Dec 2011, 04:15 ---What I'm wondering now is: Does Faye wonder if her love for Angus is enough for Angus, or for her? If it's the former, then she's asking the wrong person.

I don't think it necessarily has to do with who it's enough for, but I think she's looking for the "right" amount of love. As someone who hasn't really even gotten to this stage of a relationship before, Faye is trying to figure out the rules and regulations of this sort of thing because it's easier than facing your emotions and following your heart rather than your brain. When one doesn't know a lot about a certain subject, most people tend to search for answers as opposed to jumping in and bumbling around. What Faye needs to realize is that while that works with most subjects, love is not one of them.
Also, this whole situation makes me think of this:

--- Quote from: raoullefere on 21 Dec 2011, 00:35 ---[ ... ]If she is thusly deluded, Faye probably doesn't realize that she's got to let the relationship mature a little (how long have they been dating now, comic time? A month or two? Three, tops?) before she can get beyond loving things about Angus to loving Angus himself. She's just now taking some baby-steps in that direction.

My point in a nutshell. Thanks. :)
And yet I am left wondering a little about how this comes off as a teeeeeeenie tiny bit out-of-character for Faye. Sure, she has her issues, but I'd never expected them to stoop down to the level of
"Oh, woe is me.
Is the love I have for him,
Enough of what he
deserves it to be?" (Flawless, sad dancing routine, stereotypical "Oh, my"-gestures like "back of the hand to forehead"... )
... seems kinda "schmaltzy c-movie flick"~ish... and for her thats not a fitting color. I would have thought her to get a little more sarcastic as she usually does in these situations...
(there is a comic I could link in which she makes that observation about herself... but I don't have the time to look through the archives right now oO)

I agree. It's why I think she's looking for a way to sink the ship. That's completely in character.
