Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT 2922 to 2926 (23-27 March 2015)
BenRG:
For Faye, I think that the great revelation in today's strip is that she isn't alone. She's not a unique failure or has any special weakness or flaw; there are lots of people who share similar stories and intractable problems which they will be fighting all their lives. Is she turning the corner? Perhaps but she certainly has been given the gift of hope. I'm sure that there will be no question about whether she will attend another meeting now.
Her smile in panel seven is perhaps the happiest expression that she has worn for some time.

I don't think that he was necessarily an alcoholic or even a problem drinker. However, his doctoring his milkshakes is indicative of a wider continuum of problems that contributed to his suicide. That he felt the need to do it in secret is a clue to problems for which he felt unable to reveal to his family.

I disagree. These members have already fulfilled their one plot function. We may see them at future meetings or Faye may meet one on the street but we may not even get names! Arthur is most likely to fill the 'sponsor/support' role right now.

Ah fuck, now that I'm drunk, is it weird that I wanna contribute to that circle?
Goddamn it.
rfrank dodelijk:
faye's dad may just have enjoyed having a secret from his wife. faye might have joined the deception because she enjoyed excluding her mother.
like faye, the support group seem to have some actual problems. being around those people rather than just a bunch of self obsessed idiot children who spend all their time staring up their own backsides, may well do faye a lot of good.
excellent comic today.
APersonAmI:
I, too, am glad to meet the people in today's comic. I like them a lot.

Maybe it is. If so - join the club. We are a circle here, you know. If you could do with some help, a sympathetic ear, free advice (only if you ask for it and worth what you pay for it) but mostly someone to listen and tell you you're not alone - we're here. Part of humanity, as you are.
