Honestly, it was meant to be a terrible joke. :-P
--- Quote from: themacnut on 16 Oct 2014, 22:26 ---Exactly my point. One way or another, by breakup or by death, all romantic relationships eventually, inevitably, end.

If only the Highlander had a romantic relationship with another immortal and their couples fights didn't end with a sword battle.
I just really hope Faye doesn't do anything she'll regret later...like calling Sven. :-\

Oh I know.. and I gave you a very snarky reply... ;)
No offense taken and none intended.

Not happy with the peach. But the comedy of errors she's been engaged in with Angus doesn't surprise me with this outcome. Poor Angus.

That's 2 of her 3 crisis crutches unavailable, so she falls back on her 3rd: booze. And does anybody want to place bets on who she runs into at a bar?

I assume you expect it to be Sven.

Faye, who until now has given the impression that she at least might be OK with it.... finds out she's not.
What is Angus to do?
I know my heart goes out to Faye, but you know what, expecting guys to always be the strong ones is pretty darned unfair to them.
Angus might well have assumed, or at least pinned all his hopes on, Faye being able to cope. As Faye did.
Faye's self-discovery is devastating for her. But maybe it's equally devastating for Angus too, and Faye's rejectionist body language means he can neither offer, nor request, a hug.
It wouldn't surprise me if it was Angus, not Faye, who fell apart. Alone. With a bottle. Not a good place.
He had two dreams. Thought he could get both. Now must choose. The sensible one is to go to New York of course - avoids laying a guilt trip on Faye, establishes a foundation for the rest of his life. Faye won't feel guilty, Angus won't forever be reminded of mighta-beens, either of which would very likely be fatal to any relationship.
He might not be sensible. "NY just called - their finance fell through, so ... Faye, I desperately need a hug." Lying through his teeth, about the first part anyway, though not the second.
Not that that's likely to work. But who said people are sensible in such matters? Faye's a major character, but Angus is no mere red-shirt spear-carrier.

Thank you. That's almost exactly my reading, too. He didn't storm out, he didn't throw up his hands in exasperation, he just ... left. He's stunned, and needs to process, and she's not helping.
Smaller Faye in the last panel is very, very alone. And by choice, though I don't think willingly.

Before the comic went up, people were comparing themselves to Hanners. I managed to dig this up;

Sadly, today's comic played out more or less as I thought it would. ByeBye Angus. It's been nice knowing you, but for Faye's sake I think it will be best if you leave now.

The three Musket-Claires!
--- End quote ---
I know I'm late (d**n timezones), but noone made the obvious Muskrat joke yet? OK, I'll do it: The three MuskratClaires.
