Good for her for taking that step - although it's a long way from sitting in a hospital realizing you're not all right to taking the next step and admitting you need help, and then actually getting it.

Thank you for making a clearer version of what I was fumbling to try and say.

Bravo for noticing that. And it is unusual - considering what happened later in the comic. (Anyone for a one-panel bit with Dale & Marigold again?)
FayeDouble:
Yay Faye! She's taken the first step. Maybe now she'll get the help she needs.
Marten is the perfect person for her to lean on. He doesn't even care what she did - all he cares about is that she is (physically) all right. Now he has learned she is not emotionally/mentally/spiritually all right. And I think he will help her, in the way she needs to be helped.
I LOVE QC!!!
Zalder:
Faye's face in panel three just breaks my just. You can almost feel all the pain she is feeling. Good for her in taking the first step in admitting that she is so very not all-right. I've known people who after more than one trip to the hospital as a result of their drinking still refuse to admit they have a serious problems. It takes a combination of strength and reaching a real bottom point to be able to do that.

--- Quote from: eschaton on 28 Jan 2015, 17:39 ---And Faye will remain pissed - not so much because of getting fired (either she'll recover, and find a new job, or not, and find different reasons to be miserable) but because when it came down to it, Dora just didn't care about her as a friend as much as she thought.
--- End quote ---
I disagree. It may have been Dora's way of trying to show Faye that she does have a problem, and that Dora's not going to enable her by turning a blind eye to her not only breaking the rules, but to her having gotten to the point where she's in a constant state of alcohol haze. Tough love is called that for a reason.
Seriously, just because Dora fired her, doesn't mean she doesn't care for her as a friend. Compartmentalization is a thing.

As for today's comic, is that a bit of a Southern twang in Faye's dialogue?
"This is the stupidest fuckin' thing I ever done", rather than "I've ever done". Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Edited for grammar/spelling.
