I think I'm gonna do more old panels. Started going through the archives for the first time in awhile and there's some...interesting possibilities. And so....IMAGE:
PAST MARTEN: So would you be interested in dating me, or are we just going to be friends?
PAST FAYE: Somehow I did not picture you as being very forward. Maybe the way you described yourself as a "shy indie boy" led me to assume you would have the follow-through attitude of Prince Hamlet. I guess we could try, but I have to warn you that it would inevitably end in disaster. I have some shit to get through.
PAST STEVE: Well, it's better to find that out now than to spend an eternity waiting for one of you to make a move, right?
PAST MARTEN: Don't worry if you're not in a good place. I'll take any sort of relationship, even if it's platonic.
PAST FAYE: This all seems especially convenient. Are you sure that this is not some sort of hypothetical what-if universe showing how easily we could have worked out our problems if we had only been more direct with each other?
PAST STEVE: What is this, a webcomic? Do I have a speech bubble floating above my head?
(I'd caption the previous panel as the end to this dream sequence, but I feel bad enough about insinuating that Marten was a pussy without Present Faye rubbing it in. I'm a pretty spineless guy myself, so I don't want to jab at him hypocritically.)
