I have to say, I'm liking these past few strips. Granted, I think everyone can see this thing with Angus turning out poorly for Marigold sooner rather than later, but who knows? Jeph could surprise us, and she's getting some friends out of the deal, which is a damn sight better than where she was before all this.

Looking at Angus's behavior, though, I'm surprised more people haven't pinned it down specifically. Bit of an ass at times, trying to incorporate her into his circle of friends (however new they may be to him) playful behavior, showing some interest in her hobbies, despite trying to play it cool... to me, he's taken rather quickly to the role of Marigold's big brother. It's plausible that once she gets past the crush phase, Marigold will pick up on that and kind of fall into a brother-sister type of relationship with Angus... but then again, that's for Jeph to know, and us to find out.

[Is it cold in here?]

That's insightful. But is it fraternal, or avuncular?

[LeeC]

I'd say fraternal

Onii-chan!

AWWWWW. For those of you who aren't celibate (like me), I'm sure it brings back memories (:

Well, I didn't used to be.  So yeah, lots of fondled mammaries fond memories. 

Wait - are you saying that you're not celibate, or that you are?  It's not clear from the context - does "like me" refer to the preceding word celibbate, or to the preceding phrase, not celibate? 

I'm thoroughly confused. 

See, that's what I get for not paying attention when I edit my posts. It started out reading "For those of you who aren't virgins, I'm sure..." but I thought that sounded mean somehow, so I changed it to what it currently reads, which is very confusing, I agree.

What I meant was, for anyone who has ever had sex, (unlike me, a consummate virgin) I'm sure it brings back fond memories. I can still appreciate the humor, though, as it's a decision I've been fondling pondering for a while now. Even though my boyfriend and I have been together for almost five years now, Maribear and I have a lot in common (:

Is this the right place to complain that Sven hasn't managed enough absolution to get back into the social circle again?

Because I really want to complain about the lack of sass (or anything else) between Sven and Faye lately.

It seems like Sven attempted to be good once, and it was going along okay until he MASSIVELY FAILED. And now he's just hanging out at home, playing WoW, drinking, and writing bad yet profitable country songs.

Has he hit bottom yet? Has he mastered the Secret of Hand, the Secret of Eye, and the Secret of Spirit yet so that he can once again emerge into the sunshine and attempt to fight to reclaim that which he lost?

C'mon, people, he owns a cat. He has to be a good person at his core.

On the other hand, he kind of neglects his http://twitter.com/svenbianchi

I doubt there will be much sass (or anything else) between Faye and Sven for a Looooong time.

Sven cheated on Faye. Some people are able to get past a situation like that. Faye is not such a person.

Faye now gets her sass on with someone else, perhaps you may have seen him, Scotsman, reddish brown hair, glasses, shut-in female roommate.


And as for the cat thing, may I remind you what the familiar of choice is for your standard evil overlord?

Yes. An evil overlord who threatens the world by writing bad country songs. I'll bet he's stroking his cat even now, thinking of how to penetrate pop music next.

[bunnyThor]

Sven cheated on Faye.

Man, I can't think of a more contentious thing you could have said on this forum. 

[akronnick]

I should have said that from Faye's point of view, Sven cheated on her.

Or maybe it would be more accurate to say that Sven dumped Faye in favor of another woman but neglected to tell Faye until after the deed had been done.

I can't believe this happened about a year ago and we;re still arguing about it.

You know, I see this now.  I'm feeling sheepish for not seeing this possibility sooner.  A brotherly type affection would definitely warrant his 'invasion of space' and 'asshole tendencies'.  Thanks for bringing this up!

haha oh wow thats just wrong

You meant that in a totally non-sexual way, right?

[raoullefere]

Of course, I did, Lil' Binary, of course I did.

[Carl-E]

Oh, and Binary?  I've got this bridge near Brooklyn that I've been trying to unload for a while now...

 

[Binary]

Nah, not interested. After all, we already managed to stick you guys with the (wrong) London Bridge...
