I can't wait to see how Pintsize will interact with Dora's cat

Oh Faye, just go on and give Angus a good ole sloppy wet kiss already, You know you want to!

I'm digging the growing chemistry between these two, particularly in the last panel.

Me luv how Faye gets drawn now.

Much better than the massive tank Faye before.

Let's all give Angus a hand for saying what we've all wanted to at one time or another… possibly minus the "twinkle-tits" part. Possibly.

My favorite part of that panel is the fact Angus seems to be eying the relevant portion of anatomy. Though, given how she fills out the shirt, can't fault him too much.

Say, does that last comment mean Faye addresses herself as "twinkle-tits"?

pwhodges · « **Reply #55 on:** 20 Jan 2010, 02:16 »

Faye certainly seems to be over her avoidance of contractions in her speech.

They sound better than they really are. Sure, you can fill the three dimensional box in your rreality with stuff, then slide it sideways in the 4th dimension so that you have another empty box (or just hide it completely if you're at the end of a 4th dimensional side), but then the people in the neighboring three dimensions can take your stuff...

And if you use time as the 4th dimension, then you just put everything into a box that you pushed into in your future, which really doesn't help anything. You can't push it into your past, that would be paradoxical - two of everything in the box...

Doesn't really solve your storage problems that way!

That portion of the female anatomy exerts a gravititational field that draws the eyes, hands, etc. of many males.

She has been over the use of contractions for quite some time now. I believe it was a result of her becoming comfortable with people in Northampton, especially Marten, Dora and company.

Large quantities of alcohol, therapy and her flings with Sven probably helped as well, though it is debatable which helped the most.

On a similar note, I've been noticing a lot of words ending with n-apostrophe. Maybe her Southern accent is coming out too?

And worse, pile enough stuff in there, and Cthulhu will start banging on the walls. But Faye's an art major, so some ignorance about the drawbacks to trans-dimensional closet-space is to be expected.

It does surprise me that Angus is still breathing after that twinkle-tits comment

Maybe Faye is going soft on him.

Or maybe she just wants to wait to sacrifice him at the Summer Solstice.

Through 71 votes (8:41 ET 1/20/10):

So - who moves where with whom?
Faye moves in with Dora and Marten    - 2 (2.8%)
Dora moves in with Faye and Marten    - 35 (49.3%)
Marten and Dora leave Faye in the lurch    - 0 (0%)
Faye and Dora leave Marten in the lurch    - 8 (11.3%)
Dora leaves Faye and Marten for Hannelore    - 26 (36.6%)

And I'm going to change the poll a bit. Enjoy.

I think you're right - the look on her face in the last panel, despite the smugly snide comment, is downright beatific! I think she's starting to find Angus endearing, especially in his current state of confusion... the fact that he's actually trying to be considerate and give a damn, that he's so confused as to do so inappropriately (at work), and yet is still together enough to put out an alternative sass line that she can appreciate...

Yeah, it's not love yet, but it's certainly creeping in that direction!

Although, we know Jeph. It'll be 2013 before they declare their undying love and finally move in together, leaving the other apartment to Marten and a pregnant Dora, and forcing Marigold to move in with Hanners. No, I'm not shipping those two, it's more like the odd couple (although Momo and Winslow... naaah, never mind).

I love the absolute denial of what just happened that Dora displays. Also, +5 to Mieville for being the first thing to freak out Pintsize that I can recall.

Yay for seeing Mieville again!

No, no Pintsize, you are not dealing with a normal housecat. You are dealing with a half-feral, manic cat made psychotic by its owner, and by god, he will make you his litterbox bitch if you so much as stare at him wrong.

Many people believe that Homo sapiens is the dominant species on Planet Earth.

At first glance it is easy to see why they make this conclusion.

They are, of course, mistaken.

The actual dominant species is small, furry, cuddly.

And altogether Evil.

As a cat owner, I have been laughing for about the last ten minutes. I especially love the "purrrrrrr" and kitty rub in the last panel, after the appropriate pecking order has been determined.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is going to end in a battle royale between Mieville, Pintsize, Winslow, Momo, and Roomba. It is going to be bloody and messy.

Hang on a minute, why is Pintsize so scared? Kitty-teeth cannot penetrate metal, otherwise there would be much plundering of cat food tins.

Fur, however, can.

I knew the one poll choice wouldn't even be close.

Carl-E · « **Reply #94 on:** 21 Jan 2010, 06:11 »

Pintsize is just held together with magnetic fields, if I remember correctly (a weird way to hold a computer together, btw. The drives and boards must be shielded pretty well. Or maybe that explains a few processing "quirks").

Anyway, a cat's rub isn't as inoccent as it looks. Scent glands behind the ears and near the base of the tail mark their "territory". Pintsize is, quite literally, part of Mieville's "terror-tory" now!

And Jeph missed the low growl that went with the bared teeth, that morphs into the purr when dominance is established!

Can't wait until Mieville realizes that Pintsize is just a big wind-up mousie toy to pounce on whenever he crosses the room! I see a lot more side strips in the future...

I'm guessing Pintsize gets dismembered. I'm undecided as to whether that will be before or after he tries to lure Mieville into the microwave.
