Awww, I felt really sorry for Faye in this one.  I assume she's less rational when drunk, and being around the giggly, happy couple would be hard for her under normal circumstances.
On the plus side, a scrabble-off between Faye and Hannelore could be interesting!

Faye's drinking heavily, and the other characters don't seem alarmed about it.

Yeah, I thought it was a little sketchy Dora and Marten asked their alcoholic friend to play a drinking game with them. I guess as long as she isn't drinking alone or to extreme excess? She's still in partial control of her motor and verbal skills in this strip.

Oooh!  Tickling Hanners - The new in sport for QC.


Tai would be the gold medalist.  :D   ;)




I'd say at this stage Marten and Dora are closer to the wind than Faye.

I don't think Faye necessarily counts as an alcoholic.  She's was using alcohol to hide from her issues, sure, but that's not definitive of alcoholism.  I'm sure she is "allowed" an occasional bevvy, especially when it's taken in a positive social environment (ie. for enjoyment, not for drowning sorrows).

That said, I'm a little suprised Dora and Marten would propose such a thing, knowing their propensity for overreaction.

Yeah, I definitely agree. My hope is that this is not how the "real" drama starts: Dora/Marten are too kissy and giggly, Faye gets uber-bitchy, an argument occurs, Marten takes a side and cue the drama. Or, perhaps I am just reaching a little too far with this one.

Kaitco, hate to say it, but I think you're right. Notice how Faye's mood just got shot to hell by the mention of the tickling and such. Ticked facial expression, drunk bubbles aaaall gone...I don't like where this is heading. :\

Regarding the people who confused Dora with Raven...that confuses me. o_o I could tell it was Dora immediately from the body type - Raven's body is closer to Faye's than Dora's. Kind of like a combination of the two. Raven's on the skinnier side like Dora, but Raven's body is all curvy and such like Faye's, while Dora's is more angular.

Compare:

Dora - http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1330

Raven - http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1306

Oh and the thing above Raven's lip. Piercing?

Sometimes hair gets gross at work, and you gotta put it up, but i dont like dora ponytail.

After Faye gets the hose, i hope they play settlers of catan.  Drinking settlers is a good time, and something tells me that hannelore would be either terrible at it or some kind of  savant.

For some reason, the funniest part of this to me is in trying to figure out why on Earth they would even have a hose; they live in an apartment with no yard.

The obvious answer is that Faye was kidding, but that's not as funny.

Maybe it' s one of those hoses that fits on the kitchen faucet, like are used for dishwashers that aren't built in. A friend of mine lives in an older house that doesn't have the  plumbing for a dishwasher, and that's what he has.  It's just an ordinary piece of garden hose with a special end to go on the faucet end.  I'm sure you could get longer pieces.

Yeah, the drinking game struck me as odd considering Faye's relationship with the booze -- she may not be technically an alcoholic, but she's showing tendencies to self medicate with alcohol.  Of course, it could also be a "let's have fun like old times" thing, because getting drunk has been a major feature of good times in the past.

Could this be a means of driving Faye into Sven's arms beyond the occasional bootie call?  I mean, relationships are about more than sex - they are about talking together and getting silly together and laughing together.  Sven's thrown Faye an offer or two that didn't automatically include bumping crotches (the concert, for one). 

I don't say Sven is Faye's perfect love, but he'd be a decent practice boyfriend, all things considered -- he's not likely to get hurt(or at least if Faye does break his heart, he's likely to bounce back), he's smart and independent, and he's not likely to cheat on her because he fears death from both Faye and Dora.  Faye needs to at least practice having a relationship if she's ever going to get over her past and move on.

i see some flaws in your argument there mallli_kite

1) who you're in love with or who you care about isn't like a maths equation you can't just decide who you like based on educated guesses. just because sven might not get hurt and seems to want more with faye doesn't mean faye can forget how she feels

2) faye is uber insecure, sven has a history of wham bam thank you mams and faye is already showing jealousy and insecurity in that relationship when it's only meant to be *casual* tbh i think they'd make a terrible couple first sign of a proper argument and sven will be off getting drunk and sleeping with some girl i can see that happening.

3) i think faye still has feelings for marten which she's tried to hide from but meh i dunno

Shaztastic, we will just have to disagree.  I've watched people convince themselves they were in love through a year of marriage and a messy divorce.  I've seen people who were completely in love fall apart because they didn't realize work was involved and thought it should all be fairy dust and unicorns.  And you don't have to be in love to have a relationship with someone.  Not every person you date (and obviously not everyone you have sex with) will be someone you love.  So, I think you misinterpreted my comments, as I never mentioned nor required that Faye be in love.

You can have a pretty good time if you just manage to like someone.  Friendship is as important in a long term relationship as passion -- maybe more so. Oh, and you can get over someone you were once in love with, or thought you might be in love with, or could have possibly maybe really liked a lot.

Not that anyone is going to notice me talking here -- they are oogling the Hannelore.

My prediction:

Faye gets irritated by Dora and Marten.  Goes from fun drunk to sad and angry drunk.  Storms (or sneaks) off (possibly with Hanners) to go join Sven at the concert.  Catches him in comprimising situation with intern (which may or may not be an innocent misunderstanding) and GIANT DRAMA explodes.

I assume.

"Not if there's gonna be that much tickling" rather implies that there is a smaller level of tickling that Hanners would tolerate.

Drunk Catan is hilarious... highly recommend... wood and sheep jokes galore...

"Heh, I'll bet me rolling a four gives you wood..."

Good times.

I got wood for sheep! Wood For Sheep. come on guys who wants my wood for sheep?

i will NEVER get tired of "wood for sheep" comments when it comes to settlers of catan.
that's half the fun of playing!

though, i can see how it might get a little out-of-hand when playing drunk settlers with someone newly fueled on liquid courage whipping out their wood in an attempt to trade with another attractive player.  >.<

If there be yarwhales, maybe there also be purpoises. Look like porpoises, but they be havin' an agenda, ahrr.


Lydia looks about as much like Meena as she does Faye. Maybe Lydia's their bastardized clone. Come to think of it, that totally wouldn't explain her name, too.

Gads, you people are spoiled. When I first started reading QC, every third-string character looked more or less alike. An' we liked it! <waves cane furiously> Hell, we loved it!

Cheers for good times and no drama. I suppose that was inverse foreshadowing yesterday—Hanners thought there was a fight because of recent happenings. But, no: instead, peace, drunkenness, and minor titillation.

Speaking of which, the Vulcan Boob Squish looks like a good skill to practice. I'm afraid I'd never quite master it, though. :evil:

The drunken scrabble is cute and all, but I'm getting a bit impatient for the country music dealy that Sven and his intern are supposed to be going to.  The potential new character(ie: the country singer whose music Sven rather likes), along with going outside of Jeph's comfort zone of indie rock, just seems like very interesting and fertile ground to explore.  Hope we get there soon  :-)
