--- Quote from: Loki on 06 May 2013, 00:08 ---Wtf? Faye's right ear is double-pierced? Is that a retcon?
--- End quote ---
It's double pierced in 2411, 2419, 2424, and probably many other earlier ones.
Her left ear also appears to be double pierced in many strips, presumably they match (which admittedly isn't always the case with some people).

Back at 2006 Faye's hair is too long to easily see her ears, the next time we see her in 2016, it's cut slightly differently, and we can see her ears, and still can since it's continued to be styled similarly. Jeph obviously doesn't write her hairdresser appointments into the strip!
More interestingly, I've yet to find a strip since that point where we see her wearing any sort of ear adornment, unless she has studs that are too small to easily see in the strips.
Angus does do spectacularly well in going from "deep relationship question" to "Nookie time?" in a very short period of time. :-D
Method of Madness:
I'm already thinking about my plans for when I finish school in 2016. Sometimes I think about decades from now. Five years isn't that strange.

Who's this "we" you speak of?
tassaron:
I feel like I should know Angus better than I actually do, given how much screentime he has had (not recently, but in the past). I'd actually really like it if Jeph took a break from torturing Marten and the interns and gave Faye and Angus something to do. (Although it's getting a bit funny how Tai and Dora hooked up only to be shuffled aside immediately...)

--- Quote from: Masterpiece on 06 May 2013, 02:10 ---Angus has this"I'm planning for the rest of my life" attitude on him.
It's creeping me out. The thought of planning anything further ahead than half a year just scares me so much. It's like, when you plan that much, you always need a contingency plan in case of failure, and I don't want to think about stuff like that.

Agreed. And I hate that stupid question employers occasionally ask. If I could answer that question, I wouldn't be interviewing for this job. I'd be getting filthy rich winning bets because I could see into the future. :roll:
Understand Faye completely. Talk about being put on the spot. At probably midnight.
westrim:
There's so much projection going on in this thread we could show a movie!
As far as the comic itself goes, Angus went with a sex joke to defuse the tension from her refusal to talk seriously with him.
Angus is planning on moving to NY. That's where the jobs are for him, and he clearly likes it there. He loves Faye, and he wants her to come with him and be with her, but if it comes down to staying put because of her neuroses or pursuing his dreams and unwillingness to grow up and face the future, dreams should win (being held back from pursuing the dreams would kill the love anyway). He wanted some variation of "with you," and since he didn't get it things aren't looking too good for them. Not thinking about the future is generally bad for the future, as any corporation paying cleanup costs can verify.
To other people in the thread, Faye is in her late 20s. She needs to start thinking about the future now even if it's hard, because holding a menial service position isn't exactly providing great medical benefits or a retirement plan. 5 year questions are actually about the present; do you want to stay in stasis (Faye), advance (I wanna be president!), or excel (I'll be the best damn sculptor on the Eastern Seaboard)? And no, you don't need a contingency plan. Just go with a basic outline of what you want to do and give it your best shot. If it doesn't work, make a new plan. I've made 2 in the last few years as it became clear the previous one wasn't going to work.
