Week comic predictions!
1) At some point Marten and Clarie will be talking in the hospital waiting room. She will be supportive and understanding, Marten will be worried. Sven or Angus will likely show up in the last panel.
2) I think Faye will see her father. Call it a near-death experience or whatever, I think she will see him and ask him why. And he will say something along the lines of "I can't let you do to yourself what I did." The last panel will be a close up on her face with tears streaming down it. It will give her a kind of closure, and a realization of the path she's heading down.
What do you all think?

Hmmn... I'd like it for other stories, but that feels like it would be slightly out of place, perhaps a bit heavy handed. It could be done, but it would have to be handled just right.
Rubick:
It's going to be very tough to not stay awake until 3AM in the morning to catch the comic as soon as it hits.
A Duck:
The title of today's comic is particularly heavy. Holy crap.
I had to sleep early today.
Jedit:

Which is why I actually give a damn about how people react to this comic. If it were QC_loss.jpg I'd have been out the door just as I was with Buckley (whose personal peccadilloes I neither know nor care about - I prefer my authors dead).
On the other hand, it often seems like every humorous "slice of fictional life" cartoonist eventually does the "see I can do deep and serious" arc, they always think it's the best thing they've ever done, and it's always the nadir because when you write humour your audience are there to laugh, not cry. Randy Milholland is the only person who really gets away with it, but Something Positive has always been jokes about being unhappy that sometimes stop being jokes. I hope Jeph can do the same.
