At jwhouk's request. No poll though. Sorry.

Masterpiece · « **Reply #1 on:** 18 May 2013, 06:28 »

UUU! Idea for poll!

Where did Faye run off to?

... to catch up with Nora?

to the Batmobile of course!

I thought this was settled in the previous WCDT—Faye had to go get a crossbow. If the wind picks up before she returns, she might have to study arrow dynamics.

Masterpiece · « **Reply #5 on:** 18 May 2013, 07:04 »

hold the presses, I like skewbrow's poll more.

my item: She finds Angus, balls deep in...

... an apple pie

Welcome, new person! You'll fit right in; we're unusually tolerant of puns here. Introduce yourself up in Hi I'm new, if you wish.

She'll find Angus, Sven, Pintsize and Miéville all drunk and playing strip poker.

How a cat plays strip poker is left as an exercise for the reader.

My name is Fletcher, which means arrow maker. During my aerospace career, I would point out that a Fletcher was an "arrow dynamicist".

Is it OK if I add a poll about what would be the weirdest thing that could happen?

jwhouk · « **Reply #16 on:** 18 May 2013, 20:39 »

I don't.

On a complete aside: It looks like Dora and Sven's long lost cousin is playing for the Brewers now. And we've all been mispronouncing it: it's "be-YANKEE", not "be-YANCH-ee".

Method of Madness · « **Reply #17 on:** 18 May 2013, 20:39 »

I put in a placeholder for now, so Akima can put a poll in if/when she wants to.

Yep; in Italian the c is said like a ch but the ch is said like a k.

Skewbrow · « **Reply #22 on:** 19 May 2013, 01:31 »

I think so, too. But I don't get the insertion of 'Y'. Is it not more like "be-unk-ee" (if I managed to correctly interpret the rules of this game)?

Akima · « **Reply #23 on:** 19 May 2013, 02:20 »

Sorry about the late poll. I thought I'd have more time today.

Damn, I should have read more carefully before voting. I chose cosmic waffles, because who doesn't like cosmic waffles (aside from Steve, who would clearly prefer Cozmic Crunch cereal)? But now that I see I could have voted for Angus in a blue dress with white piping, I regret my choice. Angus would look really cute in a blue dress.

jwhouk · « **Reply #28 on:** 19 May 2013, 20:30 »

Comic's up.

Faye's got a point, Angus.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #29 on:** 19 May 2013, 20:34 »

Maybe. We still haven't heard Angus's side.

Can't tell if the yelling in the last panel is just a punchline or if they're actually going to start fighting in the next comic...

Double shot of Laphroaig says no breakup this week.

jwhouk · « **Reply #33 on:** 19 May 2013, 20:46 »

He's headed to a con on Friday, and it's Memorial Day on Monday next week.

I'm betting breakup.

But then again, it's not Thanksgiving week. THAT'S usually when he does breakups.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #34 on:** 19 May 2013, 20:46 »

Is it just me or is a breakup actually the less depressing option? Also, what other breakup occurred on Thanksgiving besides THE breakup?

jwhouk · « **Reply #35 on:** 19 May 2013, 20:51 »

Now that I'm thinking about it, it wasn't a breakup per-se.

It was just the 500-510 strips happened right after Thanksgiving of '04.

TheEvilDog · « **Reply #36 on:** 19 May 2013, 21:03 »

Methinks there'll be an argument, some things will be said and someone will storm off (probably Faye, Angus doesn't seem to be the storming off type). Alcohol will be consumed, someone will use the ultra-rare superpower that is common sense to knock some sense into Faye's head.... And Angus will have gone to the audition by himself.

Either that or...light hearted shenanigans!

Just for the audition, yes, but if it results in a job offer...

westrim · « **Reply #41 on:** 19 May 2013, 22:24 »

Extremely with Angus on the interruption opposition, especially since what I infer he was trying to say in the second panel answered all her subsequent questions. I believe that if he had continued in the second panel, he would have said something along the lines of "...hypothetical, I saw a flier about an audition for the Nightly Show and in the extremely awesome case I got the job, I wanted to sound out if you were interested in joining me in New York, since that would be a big step with all of your friends here and I don't want my opportunities to hurt the one I love." I may be embellishing a bit.

He probably shouldn't have interrupted her to ask not to be interrupted, though.

You mean where she stated the bleeding obvious? Well, I suppose so.

I'm finding everyone's speculation over whether this is all 'breakup material' far less interesting in the question of what Angus is going to say next.

Faye has leapt to conclusions; and so have we.

Probably not, but Angus looked pissed. Might be some badness we missed in the relationship, because that much glaryface doesn't seem normal for worried/annoyed girlfriend interrupting you, even if she's being kinda annoying.

He may be more conflicted than we know about falling off his desired career track. That would add tension.

Now they have to go through another round of "what are we?". Is Angus just a boyfling, or is he the sort of serious borthrelm that you follow to new cities?

I was about to say that Marten was as likely to coldcock someone successfully as a manatee.

Then I remembered the monks.
