At the risk of feeding a possible troll... Edit: sorry for accusing you of being a troll
I don't agree with the "flailing" comment.
As for storylines... there has been an amazing amount of character development since
he announced that they're splitting up:
* Marigold + Dale
* Marten + Delilah and his ensuing ennui
* Tension building with Faye + Angus
* Veronica + Jim
* The return of May in corporeal form
* Marten + Emily and his continuing ennui
* Sven being a butt and dropping his bomb
* We even got to see Yelling Bird's cloaca
Beyond that there are any number of older but still interesting storylines floating around out there that could be picked up at any time if Jeph gets interested in them again. Lots of unanswered questions and unexplored IMPLICATIONS to the stuff he laid down a while back.
Besides... Jeph just *took* a vacation to France... we're getting the resulting benefit of seeing him mess around with his styles in real time. I like being privy to seeing his drawing evolve... not something every comic artist is willing to share with their audience.
The comic is interesting. The comic is evolving. The comic is not flailing.
