--- Quote from: Smallest on 22 Sep 2014, 18:39 ---I dunno if it's already been mentioned, but while it could as well be just a random inflection by Jeph, the distinction between:
"He invited ME tonight!"
and
"He INVITED me tonight!"
seems important.

I noticed that earlier when I looked back after reading
--- Quote ---Faye's face in panel 2 is excellent. You can tell exactly what she's thinking even though she's not saying anything.

And I think she agrees with you.
Method of Madness:
Smallest - Well yeah, the ME is emphasized to show that she was the one who was asked to go, rather than her going out of her way to spend time with Marty.

They both do. The ME could imply a bit more self importance and maybe 'HE wants to spend time with ME!', with Faye giving a 'now why would you care so much about that' look.
It may well just be a quirk with the writing, but that's what I'm seeing.

But then there's the difference between "HE asked ME!" and "He asked ME!"
The former focuses on that Marten was the one that invited her, the second one focuses on that she was the one Marten invited.
I'm assuming it's just a typing quirk, because that seems way too obvious, as well as too aggressive (when including the expression and pointing) for Claire, but it definitely read the second way for me.

Better than stay in August for 594 years.
