So break out your copies of Azumanga Daioh, and read or watch it in sympathy, and to fill the gap until he's able to be back.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan:
I have to admit, "She looks like Kelly Brook when Kelly Brook isn't being photoshopped for magazines" is the first thing I thought of when I saw Marigold in the bikini in panel 3 of 2307. My second thought was this. I'm not invested in the characters the way a lot of people apparently are, so I can't quite get the twumblrage (that's twitter and tumblr and umbrage and I guess rage) expressed at it, but I can sort of understand some confusion if your perception of Marigold's body was taking Marigold's opinion at face value (and you think what's happening in 2307 is what's alluded to in 1880).
Panels 5 and 6 are closer to what I 'imagined' Marigold was body wise - as chesty but not as femininely curvy as Faye, so her extra weight doesn't wear quite as well. All that said, I think if you get too wrapped up in a character's appearance you're missing the point of the whole thing, this is QC and characters shift in height, weight, body shape slightly panel to panel, and wildly differ art era to art era.
This is pure out the butt speculation, but maybe Jeph is finding this more annoying than usual because it's about the art more than the writing? For the longest time Faye's aerodynamic curvasiveness was to me an informed quality, and not something I'd guess from the art for the first several hundred strips. And this sentiment of "Marigold's not fat enough" could be a style/art thing, and Jeph feels crappy because it didn't come out as he visualized?
Edit: I think I am going to support Jeph by supporting Jeph through merch purchases.
Redball:
I guess I can do both. Watched the first episode.
Asterus:
You know, as odd as it may sound, I think Marigold may have reacted better if anyone else had been the first to comment, and thus would have reacted in a more teasing, slightly perverted way.

So. I wonder if one of us could do a guest strip for the boss.
Or better yer, a community-sourced guest strip.
