Fer grud's sake Sven, grow a pair and apologise.  



Of course, that would all depend on Faye not killing him five seconds after he walks into CoD.

I've been looking forward to this storyline ever since Faye mentioned her college major!  Of course, it may have had something to do with the fact that I was dating an art major when that particular comic was posted.... Still, I can't wait to see what Jeph has Faye create for the shop!

her art mirrors her perfectly doesn't it?

I won't speculate on how you move nutrients, etc. though your body if this is the case, but I do think you're on to something about Sven. From what I saw in 1438, I don't think he's crushed so much as perplexed, perhaps even frustrated: things aren't working out the way they're supposed to. I do think Sven's finally come to the realization that what's happened is in part his fault, which is progress, and I think he's angry and unhappy, yes, but hardly crushed.

Remorse? Have we seen remorse from the Sven? That last 1438 comes close, but not quite. When Sven gets to "what can I do to make this better for Faye,"  without an "and me" in there, then we can talk remorse.

maybe he broke them during his rough and tumble road trip and simply got used to not having them to see.   he's not squinting tho, so i guess that's unlikely.

besides, i'm sure he'd be inclined to do something about his sight by now considering he gets to see penny nude in the moonlight.

I will say Marigold and Hanners seem to suit each other - They're both as slightly socially awkward as each other in situations like this.

No really I do love it though, as inconsistent and unrealistic as it may be I think it's cuter

Why? Quite apart from the existence of non-conductive fluids, such as mineral oil, suited to the task, electronics can be waterproofed. And as long as they aren't powered on or allowed to corrode, most electronics will weather a little water just fine. In fact the recommended procedure for cleaning some keyboards is to stick them in the dishwasher on the cold/rinse cycle then dry them out for re-use.
