--- Quote from: Emperor Norton on 23 Jan 2015, 23:33 ---You are correct there. Any time someone is passed out and has puked, its a serious situation. Someone needs to be all over that situation. It just doesn't necessarily need a hospital visit if that is the extent of the warning signs. I'm more reacting to the people who are reacting as though he should have been dialing 911 immediately upon seeing her.

Depending on what Marten knows about the situation, phoning emergency services might mean not just a short trip to the ER, but a longer trip to a mental hospital. It's a safer place for her to detox than rehab, at the very least, and if the speculation of her having pills in that vomit is true, it shows that she's suffering from suicidal impulses.
Xenologist:
Anyone else think the title of the past weeks strips are a little bit of foreshadowing? we have
2878: Hospital-Bound
2879: Homeward-Bound
2880: The Great Schism
2881: Heavy Stuff
So a possible story arc as i see it. Faye goes to the hospital. Maybe she goes to rehab maybe she doesn't, either way she goes down south for a while to stay with her mother, maybe visit her fathers grave again. The Great Schism/Heavy Stuff could be her leaving the QC universe and going to NYC or elsewhere to pursue her art and recover.
Not 100% about that last part but i'd be willing to bet that she goes back down south for a while.
I'm sorry if someone else has mentioned this already :laugh: I didn't see it in 20 pages of posting but its entirely possible i missed it.

Flaming farts? Oh yeah. Flame thrower ass? Even better.

You may be on to something there. That would be SO Pintsize.
Y:
Did she tried to drink from Pintsize? Like the alcohol is stored in him, like the cake mix. And there might be a few ways to get it out. Have we seen Faye actually drink non-socially, or to forget problems? I'm glad people never called an ambulance on me for being too drunk/puking back in my college/uni days, although I haven't actually passed out drunk(except going into that zone where you can't remember anything), but sleeping and waking up to puke is pretty common. But then you usually would have a bucket handy and made it to bed. Then immediately afterwards you want to never drink this much again. Having to go to the hospital equals never be allowed to drink a drop of alcohol again, so that would be why drunk people wouldn't want to go.

Faye is a jerk to people she doesn't know (mostly the customers at CoD). As I said, she hasn't done anything even borderline shitty to Marten since the first 1000 strips or so of the comic.
Frankly, out of everyone in the strip, Tai seems to be the worst friend to have. Although she's sort of up front about it with Marten, which is refreshing.
Edit: And Marigold. If there's one character in the strip I can't stand, she's it.

You keep saying how Faye has not done anything shitty to Marten in a while, and that's fine. What about other people outside of CoD customers? Or was Penny and Cosette's reaction to her promotion being that they both were prepared to walk just "haters hatin'"?
I love Dora but I can acknowledge the things she has done that have been shitty, hysterical and just plain wrong. You seem to operate on the idea that as long as Faye isn't being a shitlord to Marten, she needs to be canonized.
