--- Quote from: Kinichie on 26 Jan 2015, 03:51 ---Punching Marten will go down like a bucket of bricks I guess. He was in every panel (bar the EMT one) until she hit him. Her hand alone and not seeing him there in the last two panels may mean she just alienated her best friend with that strike. He's a cool character but everyone has their limits. Imagine someone you were trying to look after punched you in the face. How would you react?

I think this is reading WAY too much into the fact that Marten isn't in the last visible panel (there is only one after the punch, I don't know why you said two), considering its just a shot of her left hand and the wall, and its from the perspective of her going in and out of consciousness. Marten could easily be sitting in a chair to her right. Or well, anywhere in the room that isn't immediately on top of her hand.

With understanding, I hope. Marten is well able to understand that she is not herself in this situation. In one of her conscious moments (I changed that from "lucid") she is aware that her immediate situation is under the control of others, so she just lashes out. It's only Marten that she hits because he is the one whose concern makes him be the closest.
Oilman:
+1 that Marten getting punched is really only fortuitous.
I don't think much of FAYE, never have and don't really see why tbe others put up with her.
Can't say I put much store in Pintsize doing anything useful, either.
Likewise I don't see it, about May "taking her responsibilities seriously"; the only "responsibilities" I see her taking are staying out of Robot Jail, and taking umbrage at finding herself pretty much unemployable. That, and snarking at Momo.

With relief, even, that at least some part of Faye is her usual self.
Considering the number of times he's put up with her hitting him before (or causing other extreme discomfort) with no real excuse, and her present condition, this would be a strange moment for Marten to suddenly go all intolerant.

--- Quote from: aphanisis81 on 26 Jan 2015, 02:49 ---Y'all know what's really frustrating? There's a blizzard en route to the northeast that's predicted to be "historic." 2+ feet of snow and hurricane-force winds. Last time that happened, Jeph lost power - as people in western Mass tend to - for like 5 days and we had a slew of guest strips in the middle of a Padma arc.
Fingers crossed that doesn't happen this time. Having QC updates at this point in the story would be a nice way to break up the monotony of being snowbound.

The worst part of the blizzard is actually aimed at eastern Massachusetts (in other words, straight at ME.) Cape Cod is going to get the worst of the wind (possible hurricane-force), while heaviest snowfall is predicted for a swath from New Haven to Worcester. Northampton is currently outside the area of the blizzard warning - their waring is for "heavy snow".
