--- Quote from: Oilman on 30 Jan 2015, 04:58 ---I don't believe my son planned any part of what took place over a period of about two years. Changed his life completely, greatly increased his responsibilities, fored him into a completely unforeseen career change.... he's undoubtedly happier now but he had no understanding at all of any of that, until it happened.

You're son changed because he was ready to grow be it in his personality or having an awesome parent who taught him responsibility at some key point of his life that reach him later (I'm a young parent who likes to believe these things still ;) ).
Not all people who drift around like that become that way though—even when they say they've learned from certain experiences. I know/knew someone very closely who was so much like Marten when he was younger. He was my boss at a library when I was a student and he's still there. Unfortunately, things still *happen* to him, and they aren't always good, and it's really painful to see because I care about him and want to see him happy as we grow older (we've been friends for over 20 years).
Edit - I'm sure that's not what Jeph plans for Marten as he seems to keep things light-hearted (even at darker times like this) and given his characters growth. Though if he didn't I'd still read. I <3 QC.

Hanners may quit. Dale and Marigold can exist in their own arc. Penny and Cosette don't really have any of their own, and I can count on two hands the number of times Tai has been in CoD since she and Dora hooked up. Sad, really, but inevitable, I guess. :-\

I do not think Dora will be written out of the series as a bitter and friendless person. CoD and Dora may lose significance in the series, but there are still interactions. Several of the "main cast" still work there, and as long as the Tai/Dora relationship holds, I guess Dora will appear in the series. Hopefully, given time, Dora and Faye can be reconciled as friends, and Faye may even visit CoD as a customer. But Faye getting her job back is highly improbable.

It's worth noting that Marten doesn't want to stay where he is in life right now, FWIW.

I agree with both of the points. It's been building up to it, too, as we've seen more and more of the library cast—as well as Marigold's and Dale's story.

--- Quote from: snubnose on 30 Jan 2015, 02:12 ---I dont think Faye qualifies as an alcoholic quite yet, even if of course she's on the road to that.
--- End quote ---
I'd say Faye's qualified as an alcoholic for well over a thousand strips.
By the time you're putting yourself in the hospital by drinking because you were fired from your job for drinking, you're generally well into alcoholism.
--- End quote ---
I disagree, Faye drank so much because of her breakup with Angus.
An alcoholic, to me, is somebody who drinks constantly, not somebody who drinks too much because of an immediate and current reason.
