--- Quote from: aphanisis81 on 16 Feb 2015, 15:40 ---A little perspective: These are people in their early 20s with a well-established collective lifestyle of drinking immoderately, especially in reaction to disappointments romantic and otherwise. It's true that Faye has been, from very early on, the one with the biggest problems and the biggest appetite for Kentucky corn juice, but to expect her friends to react to her post-Angus binges with interventions and such is simply not realistic. Say what you will about it, but that sort of hyper-responsible-adult course of action is not one that typical 20-somethings take. It's easy in hindsight to say "Why didn't they help her?!" In the moment, people have episodes like this (up to the hospitalization, not including) and people of that demographic roll with it, maybe worry a little, but not take concrete steps.
Yes, I'm generalizing like crazy here. I'm sure there are exceptions. But this is coming from my own experiences as a 20-something service industry employee in Northampton who had an extended social circle not at all unlike that in QC. Marten's and Dora's (non-) reactions strike me as completely realistic, and lamentable only after the fact.

There isn't enough this to say how much this. It's just so this, right here.
There's a certain logic that goes, "I did do that at that age, and my friends didn't, so it must not be true." I, myself, didn't get into that sort of thing at that age. My friends did. From about the age of 32, I have been amazed that any of them are still alive. Had there been an actual emergency, I wouldn't have known what to do, or seen the signs, until it was too late.
Knowing those people as I do, I doubt they'd have been open to help, anyway.

Yeah, I was reading in the news that in Boston on Sunday there was two bigfeet of snow. :claireface:

...yeah, I guess I wouldn't be euphoric about being covered in a yeti's euphoria fluid*.
*Thank you Marten/Jeph for that gross term

EDIT - I just thought of something, he's a bird, why's he hanging out in jizz when he can just fly? That's what does it, this comic now doesn't make any sense.

Can YOU fly with jizz on your wings?

You used to be able to before the TSA made those silly rules about liquids.
