Is it cold in here?:

On comic... well, Faye has matured a lot in her time. But that said, she probably would not be happy with anything changing the status quo ("This is why I don't like change. It changes things."). Given she will be about 3 hours drive (thanks, Google Maps!) from her friends and her comfort zone, I don't think she will handle this that well.

Not only that, a three hour drive without a car. She probably can't afford a car and train schedules don't allow flexibility or spontaneity.

my poll choice:
The coolest label in the cooler across from the cheese at Safeway
aliensporebomb:
There's a bigger problem here: he's kind of kept this a secret or would have had she not found the audition flyer. And then he didn't talk about it much beyond that discussion 200 strips ago. 200 strips could equal a long time in real life. If he gets the gig and just ups and heads to NYC you get the idea that he never really thought the thing with Faye was a long term deal.
Either that or he says "I see a future with you, come to NYC with me" and that would change things completely. And if that happened, well, QC would be a different strip. She's a pretty big part of the QC story. And it would probably change Marten's future too. New roommates? It wouldn't be the same.
pwhodges:
On the other hand, changes that change everything are a part of real life also, and Jeph could plan to retain realism in his slice-of-life comic by doing just that (not that I have any reason to think he has that in mind right now, but just saying).
Barmymoo:
She didn't find the flyer; she asked him why he wanted to move to New York and he told her about the audition. It wasn't a secret, he was testing the water when he asked her about her five-year plan and I'm assuming that if she hadn't brought it up again, he would have done (or simply shelved the idea).
