I'd just like to congratulate Jeph on being pretty good with the writing recently. The strips have started to make me laugh again. Good work, Jeph!

akronnick · « **Reply #51 on:** 15 Jul 2009, 00:19 »

Indeed.

Looks like Angus isn't going to totally lay down and take all of Faye's shit. He enjoys the back and forth, but in the end, there are boundaries.

You're right Faye, what a man ought to do is bottle those feelings up, putting up a brave and unchanging face to the world while deep inside him his sadness eats away at him day by day by day until one day he blows his brains out all over the backyard while his baby daughter watches.

That's what a man oughtta do.

Exercise for the reader: if a man does something that Faye likes, will she respond by letting him get closer or by pushing him away?

What Faye likes may be different from what "women" like, but we know that she was attracted to the severely non-macho Marten.

Actually , that would be somewhat unmanly as well, assuming he did not have a terminal illness, or something similar, ie that he would die shortly anyway, only in horrid pain.
And crying at cartoons is hardly a good trait for a woman to have, not even beginning to speak about men.

Hell yes. I have stopped lurking just to agree with that

but also because Faye is starting to remind me a lot of a girl I know. What with the punching, sarcasm and general put downs, as well as underlying psychological issues...to mangle a cliché from xkcd: get out of my friends Jeph

Oh, and the comic is getting more comic again. Yay!

The backyard, where your daughter might see it, and where someone has to clean you up, is is still not the place to off yourself. Far better to go out into the wilderness, where those who clean you up will be happy to do so.

The problem with that is, then your loved ones are liable to think you've run off on them, or been kidnapped, thereby triggering a frantic missing person's search, years of posting "Have You Seen This Person?" flyers all over, someone possibly being falsely accused of kidnapping/murdering you and perhaps people thinking you're a despicable loser because you ran away. And if you go far enough into the wilderness where your remains are never found (by people) then loved ones will be left wondering just what happened to you.

nichidani · « **Reply #62 on:** 15 Jul 2009, 07:07 »

i dunno about anyone else, but maybe faye's just giving him a hard time out of her utter faye-ness?

although, remember she IS southern. being a georgia peach myself, i can attest that we [southern accent] don't take too kindly down here to men cryin' like sissies. [/southern accent]
myself not included, i am a sucker for the sensitive, but when something's ingrained into your head for so long you can't help but to form some kind of opinion about it.
maybe that is just one thing she happened to take away from living down south for so long?

SleeperCylon · « **Reply #63 on:** 15 Jul 2009, 08:28 »

I say there is no statistically significant interaction between gender and acceptability of crying!

Now, crying at a hackneyed romance plot, that's not okay no matter what the content of your pants.

Juniper Jade · « **Reply #64 on:** 15 Jul 2009, 08:56 »

Okay, this strip really made me laugh. Mostly Angus' face did it for me in the third panel while Marten was talking. I LOVE that face to death and I love it when Jeph draws that face on any character in any instance. It's fucking classic.

Anyway, I think Faye is more or less a little weirded out Angus cried during an anime. Usually people who don't watch anime look down on it and think it's garbage, I mean look at how Angus reacted when he first walked into the room. So I don't think it's a matter of not liking sensitive guys, (she was into Marten who's the most sensitive guy in the world) I think it's just a matter he cried during and anime. Ooooh.

I guess Marten just has a thing about moms dying, since too many people "died for" his mother.

The whole point of fifthfiend's post was to refrence when Faye's dad shot himself in front of her... not sure if you got that.

yes i did get the reference, just i did not think it was the WHOLE point of the post, rather , i thought he was using it to underline his point, and bash the opinion Faye had expressed

That shoe scene was pretty heart-wrenching. I'm one of those people who can't really watch certain movies without a partner to clutch at in the dramatic/ scary moments. I wouldn't blame anyone, man or beast, for crying at cartoon atrocities.

I've only cried over It's a Wonerful Life TV/moviewise. I have to admit that I'd be a little weirded out if I knew a guy who cried over an anime mainly because most of them are so damn cheesy, and I usually laugh over the "sad" parts of them.

man, anime just kind of sucks you in without you realizing it, and before you know it you are way too into it.

obviously this has never happened to faye.

Is he supposed to be Angus? I just figured it was an impatient patron of COD. Not too Angus-esque to be checking his watch and not hitting on Faye.

Delirium · « **Reply #89 on:** 16 Jul 2009, 00:30 »

Ugh, you're right. I hadn't noticed the man getting scalded in the last panel was the same guy checking his watch in the first. It's just that, previously on Questionable content, Dora had talked about Faye throwing hot milk at Angus.

And about the guest strip, overall I like it. It shows the author must have followed the comic itself for quite a long time to know that many things about it.

Mine is probably the unpopular opinion, but I just found it a little too squicky to be funny to me. Marten's mom is knowingly doing her son's girlfriend, Dora is gleefully cheating on Marten with his own mother, and Marten appears to know nothing about what is going on.

See, I'd absolutely agree if this was canon. However, since it's intended as a goofy, one-time joke, which is clearly not canon, I can enjoy it.

The strip has mentioned Velma before, though not as a potential employee. I wonder if Dora has the same opinion of her that Faye and Marten do.
