Tova:
He's way too wrapped up in his own emotions to consider her position for even a moment. That's never going to end well.

I'm not the type to tell people that they "don't know what real love is" and preach about the concept and theory of it and why they're stupid for thinking they're in love. However, based on that line alone, Sven sounds like he hasn't really contemplated what love is to him. He's convinced that having somebody on your mind endlessly means you're in love with them, or so he says. But what if he's just infatuated? What if he's guilty of over-idealizing her simply because she seems to be the first woman who has ever seriously "rejected" him? Many guys have the problem of taking rejection personally (I'm no exemption to that).
Of course it's also possible he's really fucking bad at articulating what he means to say. So far that seems the most possible thing, but who knows.

Can it be both?

Not to mention that that sentiment coming from Faye is canon. Given her current state of mental affairs (frowney face from Friday) I think it's unlikely that Faye will be able to hold out forever, and I'd go even odds on her succumbing to her latent desire for Sven while Angus is out of town.
Note: I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. If desire for Sven is lingering better for all (including Angus) to let it work itself out as soon as possible.
Or Jeph's double super secret trolling us.

It certainly illustrates what may happen if you have always got what you wanted. You become a complete douchebag, unable to handle situations that are not going your way. You do not understand social protocols. You do not understand what other people feel. You become a complete egoist. All is about you. This is the Evil Dictator syndrome.

I have a very hard time picturing ANYONE in the real world being as dumb as Sven in todays comic.
Heck, even most seven year olds are way smarter than that.
--- Quote from: jwhouk on 09 Jul 2014, 20:30 ---Okay, now that's so weird that not even Jeph would consider it.

Now you jinxed it into happening.
Na, just joking.

Whow, very interesting thought ! I dont really get the point of linking a picture to an actual dictator, though. Did you want to tell us that North Korea is evil ? I doubt anyone here doesnt know that.
