ysth:
I had that thought too: nice to see an AnthroPC doing his job.

St.Clair:
Me too.  And he's being entirely serious, even in that last panel.  I don't think Faye quite realizes that yet; he's being the good listener, saying just enough to draw her out of her funk and/or the bottle and keep her talking about her issues instead of soaking in them until she passes out.  But I think in the next strip or two, he might say something that surprises her.  In a positive way.

And then there will be a crude joke, because it's that kind of comic, and Pintsize is that kind of character.

Emperor Norton:
Oh bullshit. (sorry if that sounds a bit too confrontational, but this is a huge pet peeve of mine.)

Love doesn't conquer all. Just because her love isn't overcoming her fear of change, doesn't mean she didn't love him. This idea that love is all you need, and if a relationship failed, its because they didn't LOVE each other enough is silly and insulting.

What she doesn't want isn't being with Angus, what she doesn't want is her life to change. She doesn't want to think about one day leaving the comfortable bubble she has built for herself.

She isn't brooding because she thinks that she should have sacrificed for him because he is a good guy, she wasn't lying to herself. She did love him, and their wants in life just grew in different directions. And she is entirely aware that her want in life is stagnation and never moving forward with any real goals, or even moving forward at all, but stubbornly maintaining her current position, not because it makes her especially happy (hey, there is nothing wrong with someone who goes with the flow if that is what they want to do in life), but because she is AFRAID of change, and this is making her have to face that. She doesn't WANT to face change.

MrNumbers:
Look, as long as this doesn't end in her drunk-dialling him...

And finding out he's already moved on...

Rghfrgl:
She shows up unannounced, shocked to find out he has someone over.

'Who the hell is this gi....wait....SVEN?!'
