The May/Faye dynamic would be interesting. I strongly dislike May, and it occurs to me now, having read some of the previous posts, that my dislike of May is founded on the same reasons that my dislike of Faye is. (My opinion of Faye obviously being much more complicated than my opinion of May.)
But blah-de-blah-blah. What I find interesting is the possibility, were it to happen, of Faye seeing some of her own faults in May. There's a difference between your friends, acquaintances, or even your enemies telling you "I hate it when you behave this way, it's unpleasant", and actually seeing your own most obnoxious behaviour exhibited in someone else, and suddenly recognising it as such.
Obviously this is all academic at this stage anyway, but it's an interesting possibility. It hadn't occurred to me before, but reading some of the posts on the May/Faye topic has got me thinking. To be honest I can't even remember if/when May and Faye have interacted before? (I tend to read each strip on the day it's posted, and don't often re-read the archives. Not that that's an excuse.)
Schmorgluck:
I suspect Larry of Super Saturn isn't quite as new here as he affirms. I'm thinking of someone whose nick started with a T.
Anyway, I don't know what are the protocols and common practices in such cases in the US (or in general, actually) but what do you think are the odds of Dr. Corinne visiting Faye at the hospital?

This is the only *cough* exposure they've had.
TheRedMaiden:
Rereading today's strip, I'm a little confused. In the second row of panels, why does it look like Faye is walking upright in the hospital? First reading it I mentally filled in she'd be on a stretcher, but the perspective seems wrong for that. I thought maybe the back of the stretcher was upright so she'd be in a sitting up position, but then shouldn't she also be seeing her feet?
Sorry if this has been addressed already, I haven't read through the previous posts.
EDIT: something I didn't consider: she may have sat up on the stretcher herself, but I figured she would have been secured to it when they first picked her up (though she certainly would have been after punching Martin)

With understanding, I hope.

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.
--- End quote ---
Back in the day, those punches were in jest or response to some form of comment Marten made about her or her body or part of the sexual tension going on at the time. This one wasn't, This one was totally uncalled for. And how many strips has it been since she did that anyway.
And as for Marten being missing in the last "eyes open" panel (yes, I counted two and one was black) she looked only at the monitor and her hand with the drip. If Marten was there, Jeph would have drawn his hand under hers/on her arm or you could see a bit of him or his t-shirt. Not leave him out of the picture entirely. That suggests he's not there come that panel. The amount of time passing between panels may indicate that too.
Once again, could be wrong. I merely speculate.
