Okay, I think that we can all agree that Bubbles appreciates Claire a bit more than anyone ever realised prior to this strip! I must now wonder what she'd say if she were asked to provide references for Marten or Hannelore! I guess I'm wondering if massive over-statement to the level where it is lyrical is typical for her or if Claire in particular inspires her.
Now, here's a worrying thing. Look closely at Bubbles' eyes in panel 4. As she slips further into tactical mode, her eyes have started to glow Terminator red. Might a Terminator call her 'Auntie-B'? :lol:
Might this be the hook for finding out a little about Bubbles' past? Was she a Ranger or something?

hey when the librarian tells you "QUIET!" they really mean it! S/he has a way of making even the most heavily armed person back down in shame just from them going SHH! :claireface:

--- Quote ---That honestly describes Marten/Dora as well, and while they did break up, they lasted for over 1200 strips (longer than Faye/Angus) and remain good friends. Part of that situation is that Marten helped both Dora and Faye get through their respective issues, and all three are better and stronger because of it. Maybe you're right, but I don't know that it would necessarily be a bad thing.

On paper its fine but in real life I'm not so sure.
How many years did it take Marten help them both through their issues* and how much mental, physical and emotional abuse did he suffer for it
I'm still a tad surprised that Marten isn't suffering any lingering PTSD from his dealings with both. There were times going back through the pages where I genuinely thought the author hated Marten and wanted him to suffer
What really struck home hard for me was this episode: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1818 Yes Marten was out of line, yes he shouldn't have said what he said but Faye punching him, like she couldn't control herself just once, she knows what she did to him, shes knows what its like to be drunk so she could have sent him off to his room to sleep it off but no she decks him
So basically if this is a soft reboot of Faye/Marten I hope the author doesn't go to the places he went in the past, keep it fresh is what I'm saying
*I've always liked Dora because she was strong enough to recognize her issues and she knew staying with Marten would have been the easy road but she took the harder, but necessary, path to healing
*Also panel three Faye looks so much like my sister in laws wife its uncanny

I thought she hit him because he was pulling her towards him roughly, based their body language. That’s why I think she reflexively hit him.
