I wonder how Angus was able to grab her other arm, the whole counter in between doesn't make it much easier to do that. And depending how fast he was, Faye has possibility to react, such as turning away her head, unless she wants it or is too stunned.

The last panel of that one always makes me sn*gger. So little shown; so much implied. I'm a horrible person, I know, to be thinking something like "Dora has him pegged as a submissive guy..."

Even with just two eyeballs for expressiveness, Jeph still writes a whole damn backstory into that one panel.

Hur hur, "backstory", hur hur!

[Shadic]

That was dully inevitable.

So Faye's gonna try a guy she's clearly not attracted to but won't cheat.  Angus is the one who'll probably get hurt.

"They're both such jackasses! But they're HOT jackasses. And my landy downstairs hasn't had any action in a REALLY long time."

Good for Angus!

[The Duke]

So the cliffhanger would be, if it were Friday, "will she melt into it, or will he wind up bruised?" 

Actually, he may wind up bruised either way   

if you know what I mean

[raoullefere]

Odd. As Shadic points out, Faye says  otherwise.

I think you're confusing Faye's level of attraction to Angus with her neurosis about relationships. Here's the thing. I'm firmly convinced that, for all the carrying on she did later, Faye started a relationship (sort of) with Sven because she was on some level firmly convinced it would go nowhere, and was thus 'safe' (i.e. she was fairly sure of the outcome). I really wonder if the problem there wasn't that things didn't combust within a week or two.

On the other hand, Faye foresees no such obvious train-wreck in the future with Angus (but anticipates many concealed ones), which scares the bejesus out of her, hence her stalls—Faye's gotten to the point where she's not ready to instantly dismiss Angus and keep herself safe, but she's not prepared to go play in what she clearly sees as the relationship highway, thereby giving the loss-truck another chance to try to mow her down (her dad was it's first attempt). Thus, all the stalling and bullshit. In short, Faye's running like mad to stand still. Mostly, anyway. She's made a little progress—can she make more without taking her usual steps back first? (As I recall, she's due some).

[Blackjoker]

Well, if Angus dies from this he will at least die happy...stupid probably but happy.

[themacnut]

Ah poor Angus. His death will be so swift, yet breathtakingly violent.

[laizeohbeets]

Not gonna lie, that Angus has got balls. No brain, but balls.

[ecstaticjoy]

Yes! Go Angus!!

Next week, Angus' funeral

Huh, yeah, but how does any of this indicate that Faye is not attracted to Angus?

[mrjoegangles]

What is it with Hanners starting Faye make out sessions.  She is 2 for 2 now.  Everytime she truimphs over her OCD Faye ends up kissing/being kissed. She is a catalyst for Faye relationships.

(Edit due to new comic).  YEEEEEEEEEEEAH ANGUS.

What a stud.  Truely a rolemodel for nerds everywhere.

[Kugai]

Yes!

Angus is still alive and has his first date with Faye thanks to Dora

Next week will be very interesting

Will Faye kill Dora?
Will Hanners have to aid Faye to the bathroom?
Will Faye's brain permanently freeze?

[Is it cold in here?]

When Faye turns off the defenses she's left with no idea what to do.

[themacnut]

HA!!! Even better than Angus being killed, is Faye being too stunned to react.

She now needs her reset button pushed. Hopefully before she pees on herself.

[snubnose]

Cute. 

[jeanramone]

She now needs her reset button pushed. Hopefully before she pees on herself.

Unless, y'know, Angus is into that sort of thing..

[akronnick]

First of all: Eeeyeeewww.

Second: It's Hanners' turn to clean up the blood...





or at least it will be, when Faye reboots and murders Dora in the face.

Darn, the angus didn't get tenderized; and I was looking forward to steak tonight.
However, Faye is looking pretty well done herself.

Bet Penelope feels a bit like Black Canary does here when she find out about this...

Didn't we decide at the time it wasn't Marten?

[Binary]

Hey Dora, that "number 2 situation"? Faye has taken care of that already.

[J]

daym.

go angus!

[Blackjoker]

Angus was in fact so audacious he broke her brain, either that or he is a really fucking incredible kisser. If it's the latter then there will be many many jokes.

Ye Worde.
[clears throat, attempts Don LaFontaine impression] I thought we'd had this week's ultimate moment when Angus hazed the rookie.
I thought wrong.

 Ga-blah blabbity blah by me.

Huh, yeah, but how does any of this indicate that Faye is not attracted to Angus?

So you mean SleeperCylon is in denial, not Angus? And you're watching him/her/what* through the intertubes? Creepy. Truly creepy.

ponders

So how do you do that?

*'Tis a Cylon.

[Heliphyneau]

Bahaha!  And he escapes with his life!     Or at least Faye being knocked offline has given him a head start.  Once she snaps out of it, she'll have something new to agonize over, since now she has an actual date -- handily done, Dora.

Gonna be interesting next week.   

[jwhouk]

And by that I'd take to mean the Chinese version of that statement...

[zagraf]

Yay, Angus is still alive!

Once Faye's cerebrum kicks back into gear, I wonder whether another visit to Dr. Corrine is on the horizon?

[Is it cold in here?]

We haven't seen her in a while! Though this could simply be due to the fact that it's hard to make a therapist visit funny.

[bunnyThor]

So...Faye hooking up with Angus McBoring is supposedly a good thing?

Angus is basically Marten without the backstory and talent. And frankly Marten can afford to be a little bland, as he is the straight man that all the other quirky characters play off of. Angus is an ancillary character, and so needs more sharp-edged definition and character hooks.
Right now all we know about Angus is:

• He used to an annoying customer.
• He's the roommate of a far more interesting character.
• He is apparently more good-looking than he is drawn.
• Marten thinks he's an okay dude.
• His presence is cock-blocking Sven right out of the strip.

He's not so much a character as a character-shaped hole whose boundaries are defined by actual characters surrounding him. He's the handsome non-prince that you live apathetically ever after with. 

[jwhouk]

The effect is still being felt on Twitter:

You forgot:

• He's a character in progress in a webcomic.

[HiFranc]

That's the second time that I recall that Dora's acted as Faye's agent.  The first time was when she sold Faye's future sculpture.

Ps.
Talking about about that, how's that coming along?

[Akima]

And by that I'd take to mean the Chinese version of that statement...

Today: CMOA. 

and BSOD.

[Is it cold in here?]

We do know a fair amount about Angus.

He's drawn to bitchy women, he's persistent to a fault, he's compassionate and supportive toward Marigold, his backstory is a life of privilege, he talks faster than he thinks.

We know a lot about his psychology from his persistence in pursuing Faye when he might have formed relationships with any number of normal girls in the same amount of time. His ex-girlfriend just adds to the picture.

If Faye gets better and stops being abusive, will Angus lose interest in her?

As long as it's only the brutal punchings that cease, not the verbal sparring, I'm sure Angus will be fine...

If he were a new character, I'd agree. But this guy has been around for nearly half the strip. Sven had more character than this guy after only a handful of appearances.

Angus may wind up surprising us all.
