Marigold is an adult. The joke is from a meme.

As the stories have developed and moved away from the Marten/Faye dynamic I really think the strip could survive Faye and Angus being put on the bus. Hell culling a few characters may help the rest.

The comic doesn't necessarily need a character cull. Several less important characters tend to be put on a bus anyway, Raven being the most prominent character. As it is, Jeph tends to rotate characters, with the main cast being the comic's landmarks as it were.

I nominate Natasha.

DSL:
Like the overused and misused "jumping the shark," I think putting a character on a bus is something that for the most part happens naturally and is noticed after the fact -- Natasha, for example, seems to have already been on the bus for some time. Sometimes sudden actor unavailability, not a concern here, necessitates a character being shoved under the bus (or, in one notable example, the plane which didn't quite make it to Japan) and the measure of quality of the production is how well that's handled in terms of the story.

RE: the comic -- Hanners perched on the sofa arm in the first panel seems to have an air of "Let's see what these two do" about her, I think. Is her notebook handy?
