5 Years Ago...

CrowFairy:
I came across this old strip, where Faye mentions how she'd like to stay in her position at the coffee shop: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2442

Angus asks her in the previous strip where she'd like to be in 5 years. She was going steady with Angus and working at Coffee of Doom--and pretty content with her life. It's been 5 years! And now she's in love with a female robot war veteran and modding other robots and occasionally babysitting a child that idolizes her. And now she's vibrant again!

I started reading the comic when Angus and Faye got together, so I'm still kind of sad that it seems like he's never coming back, but I'm glad Faye is more passionate than she's ever been. :)

Just thought I'd share that blast from the past! In 2013, where did you all think the characters would be?

traroth:
Marten has a job he likes, a girlfriend and lots of friends. Things seem to be good, to the point JJ doesn't talk about him very much anymore, because all that happiness would be boring!

dutchrvl:
In-comic it has not even been close to 5 years since that convo, which makes it even more awesome how much change we've actually seen!

I'm with you in feeling a bit sad that we'll never see Angus again, but the rest of the cast is interesting on its won. Honestly, the only things I kinda expected (and hoped for) was a career switch for Marten and developments for Sven (or at least a bigger part in QC) since frankly I thought he made for a flawed (but not evil) and interesting character, not unlike Faye.

I fear that after Claire graduates and starts to look for employment, she will not find a librarian position in Northampton, but will be offered one somewhere else, and will have to choose between her career and Marten. Cue enough unhappiness to satisfy anyone.

That might actually happen, but Marten is trying hard enough he won't wake up some day being 40 and not knowing what happened. Even better, good times still remain good times even when they are over. When talking about life, the trip is obviously more important than the destination, which is a sad grave, until proven otherwise.
