I just want to make a point to say; Jeph's done a lot to turn Faye around in the last year, hasn't he?
Around this time last year -- almost exactly a year ago, actually -- you had this comic which I'll put behind a spoiler tag so this post doesn't take up too much forum real estate:
And after that, the shift from the Pugnacious Peach being kind of just a generally abusive, shitty person who took her self-inflicted problems out on other people to again becoming a character that again started showing her redeeming traits. Loyalty and kindness. And it's happened so slowly and naturally that it's less of a heel-face turn and more of a heel-face continental drift.
Now, I'm not saying she was irredeemable or entirely unlikable or unrelatable in the 2900 strips. She wasn't. Actually, a bigger problem was that she was
completely relatable, but not to the kind of people you'd want to relate her too -- to the people in our lives we didn't want to keep around or didn't want to continue to be. Think how much
easier it's gotten to like her after the time skip. Now that she's out of the coffee shop.
So yeah. That's a thing that happened this year.
