Heart attack averted.

jwhouk:
She may have an idea, though, that depression runs in the family. She knows mom had it.

Timemaster:
So much for my predictions for the rest of this week and the next...

I have to admit something: the only thing right now that impresses me more than the QC episodes of the last days is this forum and the insightful postings of it´s members concerning addiction and alcoholism. I´ve never been addicted to substances, so it is quite difficult for me to really relate to Faye´s problems. But in the past days I´ve read so much about this topic here, written by people who have been there, who have struggeled (and are still struggeling) with substance abuse. And by doing so I´ve learned more about it in the past few days than in my entire 46 years before.

So I wish to express my respect to everyone here. Thank you very much.

On the other hand I kinda feel that there is only very little I can contribute to this discussion. You are expressing thoughts so insightful, that everything I could come up with has mostly already been said before, and much better than I would ever be able to, not beeing a native english speaker. But that´s OK for me, I am enjoying reading the discussion here right now very much.

So Jeph wrapped up a lot of the stuff I was expecting next week in the last two episodes. Staight to the point, no pussyfooting around the issue. Very well done. And now there will be a week of guest comics. I wonder if Jeph will pick up the conversation between Faye and Marten after his vacation or if he will get straight to the conseqences Faye´s decision wil have on her life? There is a whole lot of possibilities how Jeph can handle this situation and were he can take us from here.
Also he has drawn impressingly good portraits of Faye´s face in the past episodes. Someone said it before, he has shown her from various different angles, using perspective to underline her emotions. It´s not only showing her from different sides, it actually looks like as if she is moving her head as she speaks. This expresses her uncertaincy and emotional turmoil and makes the things she says even more intense. Very good work. Just take a look at the small reflections of light in her glasses.

One week. One goddamn f***ing week!
How are we supposed to hold up for so long? ;-)

I'm more and more convinced that this arc has been very autobiographical and personal to Jeph. I'm fairly sure that Faye here is saying something that he said or at least thought, maybe around the time of the hand incident.

That said, this isn't over and dealing with this will need much more than Faye's usual anger at the world.

Indrium:
Well, first post. Can I admit that I cried?

I've been reading since at least 1500 posts ago. I just spent 15 minutes trying to find the exact strip, but can't. I'd know it if I saw it.

Not exactly the same context with alcohol, but the emotions here are spot on. I've been there so hard. Thanks Jeph. It's really cathartic to read this kind of thing.

Man I read the text and started crying again. So powerful. Holy shit.

Thank you.
