OldGoat:
Ma Whittaker will have a difficult time maintaining in the face of the Big News.
Angus will return and promptly lose his feces. This will prompt Ma Whittaker to re-consolidate her own and bitch-slap Angus (maybe even literally) saying something to the effect of, "You had your chance, you damnyankee1 cur!"
1 For non-USAian readers, some Southerners have a remarkable linguistic ability to pronounce "damned yankee" as one syllable. There is no really accurate way to render it typorgaphically, it must be heard to be appreciated.

I've got Southern parents (Oxford & Waveland MS) and grandparents (Cookville Sparta, TN), and this was the best thing I've read all day.

Morituri:
I wouldn't guess it would be that much of a crisis to nearly anybody.
Ma Whittaker's lament is going to amount to, "Sigh. Well, damnit, I was hopin' at least one of 'em would have grandkids, but it looks like that ain't happening...." I know bigotry is a stereotype for Georgia, but that's all it is. Faye seems to have arrived without a bunch of attitudes about gays, blacks, etc, and her sister Amanda, who is actually in an interracial lesbian relationship, had Ma Whittaker upset because of *financial* irresponsibility, not bigotry. So it looks like neither of them got that kind of intolerance at home.
Angus and Faye weren't waiting for each other anyway as far as I recall. If he's at all upset, he's going to blame himself for walking away, not Bubbles for being there for Faye when he wasn't. It's also likely that he's dating someone else now, and afraid that Faye is going to be upset with him. Cue comedy when respective partners both roll their eyes.
Sven, on the third hand, I can see getting smacked a little bit when he asks a crude question about whether Faye & Bubbles are into threesomes.
Is it cold in here?:
Mrs. Whittaker first saw AIs when they were property. She's a DHB and will warm up to her new daughter in law, but she will have to dig out of some assumptions first.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 24 Jun 2018, 23:21 ---Today's strip is so cute, primarily because it's nearly an archetype of Claire and Clinton's relationship. They're always bickering but they're always close and, like it or not, they're always the first one the other goes to when they have big news (mostly, I suspect, because they enjoy seeing the other's reactions). Now... it occurs to me that Claire has definitely been making plans for when Marten pops the question... and so, I suspect, has Jeph.

"When"?
I would vote Marten to be Least Likely to Propose Marriage to ANYONE in this strip.

This. Many times over. Marten is the poster boy for "let's just leave things as they are."
