--- Quote from: Gareth on 15 Oct 2014, 01:00 ---I think most would consider the early days of the comic to be from a time when Jeph might have been less aware of the implications of this violence being used for comedy.

Well d'oh!
Jeph makes mildly transphobic jokes in the first 500, and even had to retcon a rape joke. It's all part of his development as a writer, but to say that the first years of the comic were wholly unproblematic would be rather naive.

Angus, does that foot taste good? Is that why you've jammed it in all the way up to your knee?
J:
oof. painful bit o' self honesty there for faye. do i see a bottle of emergency bourbon in her near future? and possibly a drunken booty-call at sven's?
far as angus goes, well... he's not being the most empathetic or tactful here. buuutt, with the brave-face she's been putting up thus far, i can't really blame him for being caught a bit off guard when the mask finally slips.
i imagine that this is probably the end for angus & faye's relationship, if only because i can't really see jeph splitting the cast/story between two fairly distant geographic locations on any kind of long term basis.
Krald:
I just thought of this... but in that whole list of things that Angus has "taken care of " Faye was dead last to be mentioned...

--- End quote ---
Yes... Sad Faye is tragic. Jeph's drawing in the second-last panel said it all with no words.
