Probably worth pointing out that although Faye has been pretty bad at hiding her problems, it is quite easy to keep problem drinking a secret from all but the closest people until it is very far gone. i was a ridiculous over achiever which hitting the sauce quite hard. I doubt anyone but my nearest and dearest even had an inkling.
Unless Marten is going to start spending all his time with Claire from now on, it should become fairly obvious to him soon enough though. The hope is he doesn't go into denial over it.

The man is no idiot. He has proven his ability to be funny, compassionate, and real. I'm hurting for Faye, but this is going to be a good arc.

And, unlike Claire's coming out arc, Jeph has first-hand personal experience with this one (which reared its ugly head during Claire's coming out arc, re: him stabbing himself in the hand).

That's two different songs.

If I recall correctly, this was more a result of certain faction of tumblr criticizing Jeph for only having "hollywood pudgy" females in this comic, not seriously obese ones. Because that's unrealistic and objectifies women and is sexist and so on, hundreds of messages from the page that had the Marigold bikini shot. I don't know the specifics and only read it only from second hand sources.
I wonder if Jeph has started to drink in moderation since the incident or is he trying to remain completely dry? What I understood, he wasn't exactly in state of drinking "problem" yet, but in high risk and high quantities nevertheless. That's the thing when one is entrepreneur/politician/musician/actor, too many free drinks.

So has this been going on to this extent since Angus left?
Or did it get dramatically worse after Clairten?
