Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: TheBiscuit on 30 Aug 2013, 03:06 ---I can't imagine either of them being 'put on a bus'. When has that happened in QC? All the old characters are still around, with maybe... two exceptions? Padma is the only character I can think of right now who is just not going to make an appearance again, and even that could change.

Word of God is that Ellen, Natasha, and Sara are gone forever. Others have gone so far into the background that it would take a major archaeological dig to find them again.

Since when?
No, seriously, what?

Hemingway. Also the Insult Vampire strip, also her early treatment of Raven.

--- Quote from: FunkyTuba on 29 Aug 2013, 16:28 ---Yes, I realize that the "shop is the new cool thing because they insult you" storyline was quite a while back IRL, but it's only a few months ago in QC time.

However, the impression I got from that storyline was not that Coffee of Doom was new but it had just been discovered by a reviewer. I got the impression from the conversations between Dora and Marten's mother (and Dora and the guy who runs the other bakery) that Coffee of Doom had been around for a while.

I completely agree, even if I didn't say that clearly in my post... sometimes the 'new cool thing' is actually quite established and only becomes new and cool when it gets publicity. My sense is that that happened recently enough for the shop to still be riding that wave... has there been a winter in-comic since then?

The entire arc of her relationship with Angus was about her allowing someone inside her personal space. She pushes people away because she's emotionally damaged and she blunts her insults with humor to protect herself from the scorn that would come from just being snarly.
Anytime someone displays a chink in their armor Faye is there to stab them with a smirk. I'm only a casual reader and I know that's pretty much her whole shtick. When it comes to punchlines Pintsize says vulgar things, Hanners says insecure things, and Faye insults.
