(Wow, right off the bat.)
(And now it's 7.)
I'd like to point out one of the little details I noticed in today's strip, the little bit of blood visible in the IV going into Faye's hand. I would think that if there is anything pumping into or out of Faye, this small stable bit of blood wouldn't be there, it's showing an equilibrium of pressure in the line. So is this just how Jeph drew it, am I incorrect about how IV's "in action" look, or does it mean that at that point Faye is not actively receiving any drugs? (I'm guessing it's the second, the only dealing with IV's I've had is one surgery.)

Anyone who would get in touch with him is also likely to assume that Faye's binge drinking has been a result of their breakup, and that having him show up probably wouldn't be a good idea. An exception might be Hannelore, whose romantic streak might convince her Angus showing up would be what Faye wants.

I don't think that Angus showing up would be a good idea, but I hope that someone contacts him and lets him know what's going on. And that no one blames him/holds him unduly responsible.
--- Quote from: ReindeerFlotilla on 25 Jan 2015, 20:38 ---It's looking more an more like Faye didn't break up with Angus because long distance is hard. She did it out fear of abandonment. All of the choices she's made (major ones) come down to giving into that fear or wrestling with it. Her over reaction to getting fired is probably another aspect (Dora abandoned her--not really, but to a person with a pathological issue around abandonment, it would look that way).

Also, Marten has been off with Claire while Faye has been dealing with the fall out from her breakup with Angus. I can see that really playing into her fear of abandonment as well; how many times have we seen Marten come home to a drunk Faye and just check up on her in passing? I can understand how the feeling of "my best friend is off with his new girlfriend while I sit here alone" could loom much larger in her mind than the hugs he's given her and the ways in which her friends have checked up on her.
I think it's really powerful that Marten was the one who found her. He's the guy who's stuck with her since the very beginning, despite all the things she's done that might have driven someone else away. I hope that seeing that he's not going anywhere, even when things get incredibly bad, will help ease some of her fear of abandonment.
Kelamin:
It could just be for blood transfusion or a way for nurses to extract bloods, I don't think that they input fluids in the hands but I could be wrong. Could be anything really, could be the colour of the tube so that it stands out against the bandage/skin. Also could be that things got messy which does happen frequently when bloods are taken, also could have ripped out if she'd been convulsing and could have caused some damage.
ReindeerFlotilla:
They put fluids is where ever they can. Last time I got the good drugs it was in the hand, as was my only hydration IV.
Partly because I have rolly blood hoses, so they tend to have a hard time stabbing them. I guess it's easier to get the ones in the hand.
Oilman:
FAYE has clearly been drinking far too much, passed out and had her stomach pumped, at the very least. I'd assume she is also on intravenous rehydration, because that's common in such cases.
I'd read the last few panels as her relapsing into unconsciousness and remaining there for long enough for whatever is required in plot terms, to transpire - people being phoned, Dora freaking out, Angus saying she really isn't his responsibility, whatever factors are required to be introduced. She is is a stable, safe environment and won't suffer any further harm.
