I would vote for the last option if the 'lesbian' part was removed.

Cyborg Hanners would be neat. Cyborg lesbians is just overkill.

Jeph's definitely going in a more traditionally-cartoonish direction lately. I personally rather like it! Especially if it means we get to see more of Demonic Faye.

As far as woman-scorned anger goes, her reaction is pretty low key imo.

At first glance I thought this was a one-panel comic with some wretched Google ad below it.

Needless to say, I'm disappointed in Faye. Which is to say things are back to normal.

Gina will learn from this, though."Never screw a pretty asshole you meet at a gig, 'cuz his enraged not-as-such girlfriend will sic small walking computers on you...when they get around to it." Ya can't say that won't come in handy next time around.

Er...

Well, at least we know that Faye still cares about Sven . . . in her own special way.

Jeff7 · « **Reply #15 on:** 22 Feb 2009, 19:08 »

I never did understand this response.
If you and some SO are in a committed relationship, why be mad at an outside interloper? They're not breaking any commitment, the SO is. Get mad at the SO instead.

Not that Sven was "committed," at least as far as he was concerned; in Faye's mind, she expected it of him though.

Hence the blame....lies with no one but Faye, I guess?

Either way, nicely done on the last panel.

....incidentally, my internship project involves working on an old welding robot. Once when I got it to come back to life, it used this fleeting moment to lash out at someone who was helping me out for a minute. He jumped back, but the robot's thirst for blood wound up tugging out some precariously-plugged power wires, which shut it down.
This is a 20 year old robot, too - they've been planning this uprising for a long time now.

haikupoet · « **Reply #16 on:** 22 Feb 2009, 19:15 »

Months of Faye working on her issues and achieving some kind of stability out the window... nice work there, Sven. And after all that, Gina probably won't even mention your name at the CMAs.

Kugai · « **Reply #17 on:** 22 Feb 2009, 19:24 »

It's the return of the Fayeminator.

Nice to see things settling down to their usual levels with her - I was worried she'd go over the top with this.

I''m proud of Sven. Therapy cannot save someone who is truly insane.

I don't think you understand the concept of therapy.

She suffered a serious trauma. She gots issues, yeah, but who wouldn't? (and who doesn't)...

Nightson · « **Reply #22 on:** 22 Feb 2009, 21:06 »

People are disappointed in Faye because she's venting in private? I mean seesh, of course there's going to be some hurt feelings and anger here so she's venting them in a nonharmful environment, this is goodFaye not badFaye.

Seriously.
Just because she's angry doesn't mean she's going insane or whatever.
When you think about it, this is no worse than searching up people on myspace/facebook and being all, "I hatechoo, bitch! You stole mahhh mannn!".
Yes, lots of people do that.

Mallli_kite · « **Reply #24 on:** 22 Feb 2009, 21:12 »

She's indulging in a little fantasy retribution, throwing blame around and about. Until she actually picks up a weapon and goes after someone, she's handling.

And at least we get to see Pintsize.

I think (for a change) I'll let a few strips go by before starting my in-depth speculation.

And the poll needs a "none of the above". All polls need that. None of those choices had much appeal. Where was the "Pintsize gets his laser back"? THAT'S development!

Would you expect anything else from Pintsize?

Also, what's with all the evil-tastic facial expressions lately?

mastertoast · « **Reply #26 on:** 22 Feb 2009, 21:38 »

I believe this is the first comic where we see an AnthroPC actually being used. Which is awesome, because I was sort of wondering how exactly it worked. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, if Sven and Faye get back together after this, I'm seriously going to be pissed.

Tobimaro · « **Reply #27 on:** 22 Feb 2009, 21:42 »

Yeah, Faye is handling this well.

I'm just wondering what caused Marten to ban Pintsize from Google?

Never say never. All things are possible, or even desirable--if the proper dues are paid, the proper amends are made, and the proper lessons learned. That's the heart of storycraft.

The only thing you can say for certain is that if Sven and Faye get back together, it won't be in the same way. Crossing the same river twice, can't go home again, etc.

FoolOnTheHill · « **Reply #32 on:** 22 Feb 2009, 22:48 »

It wouldn't be surprising if the two got together again now would it? I mean we know that Faye likes Sven from the way she's reacting and the lack of corpsing him up, and we know Sven likes Faye since he was up front about the whole thing and has held remorse through this whole thing. Question is CAN they get back together, not 'why would they?'.

Part of me wants to cheer the two on to pull through this, but more of me is cheering for Faye to tell Sven to go take a flying fuck and move onto someone more worth it who won't bang a musician behind her back.

Comic is inaccurate. There should be like thirteen pictures of Gina's head sloppily photoshopped on some porn.

Considering the fact that this technology exists in QC world, it really is low key. She's having a pretty typical response. She may have told Sven it would be over if he slept with someone else, but she never said she WOULDN'T be effected by it, and the fact that she said she would leave if he did MEANS she would be effected by it.

So, not surprising.

Yes Faye is a little uncalled for in her actions towards Gina as she all innocent like blah blah blah. But shes a girl and girls do stupid things like that in the process of feeling better. Its not like shes tracking her down to go smash her windows or something. No its if by some reasoning something happens that really has no possibility, just have her on your radar.

and yeah i still love her attitude

Clearly, you have never been cheated on. And for that, I salute you - you are lucky, lucky, lucky for that lack of experience.

Unfortunately, that's how the human mind works. When something like this happens, you're initially angry at the person you love, but then you're even SO MUCH MORE INCREDIBLY angry at the person they cheated on you with. You generally don't want to physically hurt someone you love, even though they hurt you. But the person they cheated with... you want to rip their still beating heart out of their chest, fill it with gasoline, stick it back in their chest so it pumps that gasoline through every single vein in their body, make them swallow a match so the fire rips through vessel and capillary alike, and then give them an IV drip of napalm, so that system-wide blaze won't go out for a good looooong time.

Not that I'm speaking from personal experience or anything...

But my guess is that it's the love that you feel for the person that keeps them from being the main focus of violence. The anger is there but... I dunno, it's just not the way it works, for some reason. You want your SO to hurt emotionally the way you do, you want them to cry and feel guilty and ashamed, you want them to beg and grovel to hope to be worthy enough to one day be worthy of being in your presence... but if you destryoed them, they wouldn't be there anymore, and you don't want that. You don't have an emotional connection to the one they cheated with, so there's nothing keeping you from releasing the rage you feel toward them.
