--- Quote from: Orkboy on 20 Jan 2015, 09:46 ---Actually, I see it going a different way. I think Faye would lash out at Claire, Marten immediately backs up his girlfriend, Faye loses another friend, and discovers that you can still dig yourself deeper after you hit rock bottom if you try hard enough.

I would think Marten usually keeps cool, and wouldn't back up either side in this case. I seem to remember that it wouldn't be the first time.

It's true that he's been the super-passive spineless wimp in the past, but if BenRG's scenario were to happen (which it won't, because the forums predicted it), then I think the Clairten dynamic would result in Marten stepping up. His relationship with Claire is way different than anything we've seen him in before, and because of that, I think he would act differently than we've seen him act before.

An idea for a "filler" strip that wouldn't actually be filler: A single wordless panel of Faye passed out face-down on the kitchen table with a couple of empty bottles next to her.
That being said, it's probably going to be a Yelling Bird.
Is it cold in here?:
I really like the suggestion about moving to the space station.
Station has proven he can out-perform the most expensive human therapists. Someone immortal who is always available to talk would be a balm for Faye's abandonment issues.

I actually think Clairten is a big character-building step for Marten too. He just can't be passive with her.

Sometime lurker, first-time poster here.
Let me begin by saying I think Dora's actions in this specific, isolated case are pretty reasonable. Caught her employee drinking on the job, fires her.
However, honestly, this newest strip really cements my dislike of Dora's character, which was sparked a long time ago when she wouldn't stop whining about how TERRIBLE her childhood was because...she had a successful, smart, good-looking older brother. That's her big claim to having had struggles of any kind, and yet she has the audacity to judge Faye, whose father literally shot himself right in front of her. Seriously, what kind of sister not only can't even be happy for her older brother's success, but actually twists it in her mind to being a personal problem to deal with? She completely cut her brother out of her life for...what again? Sleeping around? How is that any of her business to judge him on, and how does it affect her in literally any way? Seems like a form of slut-shaming to me. If he wants to sleep around, let him.
Dora has repeatedly shown herself to be a very judgmental, compassion-deficient person who has never had any serious personal problems of any kind, and yet stomps on people who are actually struggling with legitimate problems the second they act in any way that goes against her sensibilities. She seems like an awful friend and an awful sister. I wouldn't want her in my life, that's for sure.
