Jays:
That ... is not what I expected. But in a good way.
First time a comic has ever made me tear up. :cry: Well done.

Yes, we've heard her acknowledge her problems before, but those instances were a far cry from a teary breakdown in a hospital bed after losing her job and having a near-fatal drug overdose.

Doubt it. She'll be sympathetic and understanding, but I think the overdose will strengthen her resolve that she did the right thing by separating Faye from CoD. Remember the last thing she said to her: "Go home, sober up, and get some goddamned help, Faye." Well, she went home, she sobered up (eventually, with the help of a saline IV and a team of paramedics), and now she's in the right place and crucially the right mindset to get help.
Coffee_Kaioken:
I personally feel like Dora was more supportive and available for Faye over her troubles with Angus up until the actual breakup; then Dora just kinda concluded things on "Faye, I'm your friend but I'm not a therapist. I don't know what else to tell you." Then Faye asked about sneaking a drink into a coffee - Dora had begun withdrawing from her sensitivity toward's Faye's state even before that red flag, I think.
I'm wondering how her friendship with Marten is going to continue over the next month or so. A lingering issue with them during their relationship was the friendship between Marten + Faye. Sometimes Dora was easily set off by her jealousy over it; Granted they're no longer in a relationship but I can see a bit of awkwardness in her mind, with Marten walking into CoD and wondering if he's harboring any resentment towards her for the firing.

--- Quote from: Oilman on 28 Jan 2015, 19:08 ---It's been mentioned before that FAYE has certain speech mannerisms which are intended to disguise her Southern accent. I always get the impression she sounds like Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling (Dr Lecter specifically mentions that she does this).
--- End quote ---
Yep, I remember that. It's just that it's still not a common thing, to actually be able to see her slip into it. Even when she was recently drunk (barring the earlier strips - she lapsed into the drawl more often then), there really wasn't that much emphasis on the accent.
Is it cold in here?:
I'd hope the hospital has lots of resources and referrals for people in Faye's situation.
Now here's a weird idea. AnthroPCs have their own party drugs. It's possible that they are so similar to humans that some develop dependency problems.
Could Faye wind up with an AnthroPC companion who is also an AA sponsor?
