Ok, while it's true that Faye jumps to violence too fast and too often, and it was unwise, I still object to this. This isn't her punching someone for something minor, Corpse Witch directly threatened to have her friend tortured.

Still a bad idea to punch out your boss, especially before you even have another job lined up. An even worse idea to punch out the boss of an illegal racket, it's like punching out the mobster or gang member you worked for under the table; being fired may not be the worst consequence Faye has to face for that. And CW is definitely the vindictive type, she won't let this go easily.
My prediction: I don't see Bubbles going with Faye. At all. Despite the friendship, Bubbles has more reasons to be loyal to CW than to Faye. Furthermore, I can see Faye taking this as a betrayal and telling Bubbles to go screw herself before storming out the door. Thus would end their friendship, followed most likely by Faye crawling back into the nearest bottle over the "breakup".

Yeah, but vengeance is bad for business. Especially when the business is illegal to begin with. Anything CW does to Faye would just be further incentive for Faye to go to the cops.
And given how Bubbles has acted and how Faye looks, I think this "betrayal" is enough to wipe her hands and actually call the cops. I'm beginning to suspect that this storyline is going to end up with Bubbles in handcuffs right next to CW.

--- Quote from: jheartney on 05 Dec 2016, 06:16 ---Second job in a row that Faye's burned her bridges at. Might be problems coming up with a third. Has Faye been attending the therapy group? As a friend in recovery noted, drinking is less an illness than a symptom of an illness: the underlying emotional problems are what leads to drinking. Faye doesn't seem to have dealt with whatever made her drink.
Speaking of which, Faye's now in bad danger of a relapse, particularly if Bubbles doesn't leave with her.
--- End quote ---
As I see it, Faye had realized that her drinking was a problem, partly thanks to her friends, and she has dealt with that issue, though it is still a struggle. However, the REAL issue, that caused the drinking, was her depression and insecurities that (at least in part) stemmed from her father's suicide. She had abandonment issues, and I think that she still has not confronted that part of her past yet.
We have seen Faye come dangerously close to a relapse already, and it was Bubbles' friendship that helped her resist. I am scared for what will happen to Faye if Bubbles ultimately decides to stay with CW.
On that note, the next strip cannot come soon enough! I'm dying over here!
Method of Madness:
Re: TED - I did say it was unwise, and I get why there are consequences, I just don't see how someone can be happy about those consequences.
Is it cold in here?:
Seeing cause and effect working can be reassuring sometimes.
People who have been the targets of violence may take some comfort in seeing a violent person finally face consequences.
Am I the only person here seeing anger in Bubble's expression?
