--- Quote from: FilliamHMuffman on 26 Jan 2015, 02:22 ---I personally don't like Faye, I don't think anyone would like her in real life. I don't think it is funny or cute when she punches him, especially when he is saving her from alcohol poisoning. I am certain that Faye is not dead, probably just passed out as the alcohol continues to be absorbed into her bloodstream. I will say that I think her death would be a benefit for the comic in multiple ways. I have felt for a long time that there are too many characters anyway and that many characters don't show development because of this.

Please tell me you posted that ironically.

A companion-AI would almost certainly have been given the ability to recognize and respond to medical emergencies; giving them that ability is only sensible. For Marten to discover Faye, Pintsize must be out of the picture, otherwise he would have called an ambulance long before Marten returned.

Your post has caused a potential solution to crystallize in my mind. Faye has abandonment issues and needs someone who'll bend an ear to listen, and who might be available at any time, who won't simply walk away when things get too hot to handle. They'll want to monitor her state of mind. Both of these things can be addressed by having Faye enter into a contract with her own companion AI. To those who may scoff at the notion, I bring forth the example of service animals. Pintsize doesn't really count here, because he kind of allowed the binge that led to Faye waking up to find a second bottle, and he's 'matched' for Marten anyway.
I don't really see another character being added just to address this storyline, but it's plausible in this story universe.

I... I'm torn between wanting to hear that story (it sounds GREAT) or be happy with what my head-canon provides me ;)

I think that Jeph has now published the finest non-dialogue comic in webcomic history.

It will never happen, but I have one word for this:
May.

Is there any other way to quote Palpatine? I keep hearing him in my head as I read the WCDT lately. It makes me giggle.
