Yeah, that was in my mind as well.
I looked it up and in this strip his eyes go dim when Marigold turns him off to repair him. AI are handled a lot differently now, so it could probably still have some ramifications as a shitty thing to do to a sentient being with rights, but he's probably not in as bad shape as I first thought. All I could think of was the Momo-is-dead gag when Winston found her old chassis.
Marten definitely needs to rush Faye to the hospital ASAP, regardless of Pintsize's state.

Oh, fuck.

--- Quote from: SRRRRRRRR on 22 Jan 2015, 21:56 ---Just want to say: Faye could be just fine or already dead. Alcohol's kind of funny like that.
Her head is turned to the side, which reduces her chances of choking on her own vomit or blood by a tremendous amount. Of course, if she drank a bottle of 80 proof whiskey inside of a day, she's probably in a state where her health could deteriorate rapidly. Even if you don't take her to a hospital, you basically gotta baby her just in case she starts having breathing problems (especially because of her weight and how heavy her drinking is).
Anyway, why would Jeph kill Faye off? It'd be too easy.
I just hope, for the love of chicken, that Angus does not come back and give up on his dream to be with Faye. There's never a good reason to jump on a sinking ship.
Obligatory :clairedoge: included because I enjoy the image.

Two things: 1: Her weight? By no stretch of the imagination is Faye overweight enough to cause breathing problems. 2. I'm sure Marten checked to see that she was breathing before he called Claire. If she were dead (which she is 100% not) I think his reaction would not have been nearly as chill.
--- End quote ---
It's not that she's overweight enough to cause breathing problems normally, it's that alcohol consumed in blackout quantities combines with a slightly above average weight to create those conditions. Admittedly, the correlation goes for just about anybody who weighs say 20 pounds or more above what would be the 'desired' weight for their body. But that's the reason why you shouldn't drink so dang much.
Also, as I said, she could die later. That's the biggest risk of 'leaving someone to sleep it off', which too many people do. Don't do that, by the way. Too many people do that.
Of course, I can't see him killing of Faye right here. It's not like he can't replace her, but if she's going to shuffle off the mortal coil it's probably going to be at the end of the comic.

To the other person, the real issue is that Faye's a woman and women aren't better at tanking alcohol than men before we even factor weight in. And, well, you or I would likely die from drinking a whole fifth of 80 proof whiskey in a day, especially if you pounded half of it right at the end.
I'm kind of on the hefty side and I'm pretty ready to go to bed after a few shots. I've gotten to the point where I was worried about dying before, of course, but that's how I know that it's way better to just get your head spinning a little bit and then go lie down or post on forums for laughs. Speaking of which, I got some E and J XO calling my name. Only a little bit, but, hey, it's been a good night. I just wish we weren't going to cliffhanger on this comic.
Is it cold in here?:
I had not caught that. As jwhouk would say, "####!".
For future reference, don't try to drive someone to the hospital in a situation like that. If she stops breathing, better to have it happen inside an ambulance with oxygen and expert people right there than in your car in traffic.
SRRRRRRRR:
Indeedily!
Leave it to the trained medical professionals who are more than likely experienced in dealing with people in such horrid states of alcohol poisoning.

Well said.
I'm still totally convinces she's alive though.
