Storel:
I've seen other web forums where it's referred to as 'shipping, with the apostrophe representing the "relation" part that's been dropped. Seems like the proper spelling to me. I think making clear from the start that it's an abbreviation tends to reduce the level of confusion slightly.
Redball:
That's an excellent thought. But I doubt we can make it stick.

Raven is a good example.

Raven is still in the strip? I'm struggling to remember her last appearance. I'm almost inclined to say that in her case sudden and seemingly random changes in direction are her consistent character. :-D
--- Quote ---The Pugnacious Peach has been loosening up in ways foreshadowed from early on, when she compared herself to a hedgehog and Raven compared her to a kitten who knows no way to express affection except by scratching.

Most of her 'loosening up' is fine by me and has taken place in a well-documented way. What I have a real problem with is that she's suddenly starting to act more and more mean. That could be a perceptual problem I have though.
Despite the fact that the conversation started there, Faye isn't really a character whose development I have the biggest problem with. I still don't think she should be ready to be in a relationship given everything we've seen, but she's not the character I take issue with. Not the same way I do with Dora (unless her consistent character is that she's bipolar) or Dale, or (to a lesser extent) Marigold. I have a minor issue with Hannelore's early development but at the same time I recognize that Jeph probably decided he was going down a blind alley there.
Fixed a missing / in the quote tags
jwhouk:
The theme of QC is "Everyone should try to be nice to each other." That's about the only thing any of us should "get out" of the strip, if Jeph has his way.
Redball:
Well, a predictable outcome to the Faye/Dora conversation?
