WCDT Strips 3316-3320 (26th - 30th September 2016)
Tova:
QC has had an ensemble cast for a very long time now. It's been discussed in these very forums many times. Is this really so hard to come to terms with?
Kugai:
Not really. I think the thing that some are having 'Issues' with is the fact that Jeph is moving what were once essentially background characters into the foreground and lessening the interaction of the 'Original Core Cast Characters'.
Remember folks, we have had shifts before, the departure of Raven, Amir, Nat, Sara and Angus. The falling into the background of characters such as Steve, Sven, Wil, Penelope and others as Jeph moves the stories forward or feels the need to change/chop or delete characters that have, to a certain extent, served their purpose or he feels need to go to make room for newer characters and storylines.
Marten and Faye are, to a large extent, the Main Core Characters of the Comic, along with Dora, Pintsize and others who have come into the picture while others have moved back into secondary roles but are seen as part of the Core of the Comic as time moves on.

He's a full foot-and-a-half taller than me and he only weighs 20 lbs more!?
I know I'm stocky and barrel-chested (and ~20 lbs overweight), but wow! (ϾôϿ)
I wonder if we have the same lung capacity?
--- End quote ---
People who have no reference point for large people often throw would absurd hypothetical height weight stats. Given his build if he was 250 lbs he'd be about 6'2" to 6'4". If he was 7 feet tall with that build he'd be about the same as Shaq who is 350lbs. Based on his relative height vs the other characters he's about 6'5" or 6'6" and 250 - 265 lbs. Essentially the size of a medium sized linebacker.
Method of Madness:
I don't think seven feet is unreasonable, considering he was a full head above the guy who punched Clinton, and that guy was already a bit taller than Emily who probably pushes six feet herself. I'd say probably about 6'10" and 295/208cm and 134kg.
Is it cold in here?:
Ugh. I can relate to Brun. I've been in that situation with something much more emotionally charged. It's a huge cognitive effort to keep a memory from escaping a locked room.
