Speculation is what these WCDTs are for.
Except some speculations.

Speculate, not ship-ulate. :angel:

I was thinking other subjects, but that too. (Not a complaint. I'm not particularly into shipping. The containers are actually pretty toxic.)
Looks like Angus is going the way of Padma.

--- Quote from: eschaton on 20 Oct 2014, 18:37 ---The new comic makes things much easier to understand. Faye pretty clearly is, as I expected, is the dumper, and (despite feeling like a shit for it) is probably feeling a lot better right now than Angus, who was just blindsided by the woman he loved.
She really needs to do the mature thing and actually have a conversation with Angus for closure - actually letting him know how she really feels. But I'm honestly not getting a vibe of deep depression off of her in this comic at all. I mean, she's pensive, but if she felt like her mental walls were crashing in, she'd be too self-absorbed to ask Marty about his day.

Completely agree. Hats off to you and to the people who correctly analyzed that Faye realized that she was not in love with Angus. I agree that they should have a talk to just set things on a good note as Angus departs for his new life. They needn't be enemies just because things didn't work out. They both learned things from each other that hopefully they will take into relationships in the future. Hopefully Faye understands now that she can't smother her feelings, she has to be honest always, or risk inadvertently blindsiding and hurting someone she cared about.
Also, I kinda agree with GrouchyGizmo. That's the one thing that I don't like about Marten. He subjugates his feelings too much thinking that he's sparing someone awkwardness or pain and then when he lets them out, it comes out rather mealymouthed. He did this with the Delilah stuff when Tai asked about it, he did this with the huge guy at Secret Bakery who had a thing for Padma, and he's doing it again here. As far as Faye knows, he and Claire banged last night. If she's asking, she is probably hoping to hear that things got off on a good foot with them. And Marten's hiding, thinking it's for her "own good."

I'm not worried - have a look at how he walked into CoD in the previous strip. Dude is walking on air, and 'I had pancakes' is him trying not to float away on her when she's down.

Oh no, I'm another new person! Hello. :-)
I've been reading along for years; my new-reader-archive-binge was... at least five years ago? Honestly, I forget. Been on-and-off lurking the forums the whole time. Finally registered during the Martenclaire squee festival because I felt I would have some important things to say, and then everyone said them. So: first post. What finally prompted me to post a little something in words:
I laughed out loud at the "I had pancakes" line. Just, thank you Jeph. There's been a lot of good writing, a lot of squee, a lot of good drama, and a lot of good humor, but BAM the pancakes line still has me giggling on the inside. Lots of buildup to that punchline and it was good.
Something left over from when I was building up what I wanted to say when I first registered a few weeks ago: I am so glad puns are IN again, and not punishable. Thank you to all forum members who pun it up. You make me smile.

Exactly--he's done it (or tried to) before.
