Faye is friendly to customers!

Sven is serene and sensible!

Marten is mean business!

Angus is eaten by an allosaur!

Purple Monkey Dishwasher is pink!

Sven is pregnant.

[Loki]

Yay, my first WCDT!

Couldn't think of a poll option for Dora.

Also you can probably look forward to comics posting around 4pm EST for the next couple weeks

Will may antics return this week?

[Rghfrgl]

[bhtooefr]

Wait, "we need to talk"?

Let me guess, Sven got some test results.

[Pilchard123]

VIDYA

A twist of Lemon.

[Mr_Rose]

Yeah, he's pregnant with Faye's child….

[Kugai]

Fayes week just gets better and better.

[Mmeaninglessnamee]

Glad as I am to see the return of Sven for apparently an actual storyline, this doesn't sound good for anyone involved.

[Mlle Germain]

Let me guess, Sven got some test results.

Uh, I wouldn't have gotten the idea myself, but now that you say it... It sounds kind of plausible.

I have to say that I have a bad feeling for Faye and Angus. (Has this been discussed much in last week's thread? I didn't read it as thoroughly as most other weeks.)
What do you think Faye means by "What Angus wants and what I want don't match up"? If it's not the long-distance thing, I really can't see what exactly she's talking about. Just that Angus wants to get a different job? Or something that happened "off-screen"? And what does Faye want long-term? Apart from just continuing with everything as it is, she's never said anything. Why would it be incompatible with what Angus wants? To me, this sounds like giving up too easily (if giving up is indeed what she's doing).
Anyway, I think it's a really bad sign that in front of Angus Faye puts on a happy face - and does this quite well; at first I thought she was being sincere - while inside, she feels precisely the opposite. Concealing your true feelings from your partner in this way is not good for either her or Angus. Instead of telling Dora what problems she has with Angus' plans for the future, she should be talking to Angus about them - or rather; it's good to talk it over with a friend, too, but she definitely should let Angus know something's up. I mean, there he goes thinking all is great while Faye is questioning the long-term viability of their relationship.

[Thrillho]

I've missed Sven.

[Kugai]

Prediction.


Angus gets the job and moves
Things go downhill from there
Sven has come to tell them he's joining a Monestary
Faye snaps and swears off men
Tai sets her up with Swing Girl

Epiphany for Faye and she and Swing Girl move in with Tai and Dora.





Well, it's no stranger than anything else that happens in QCland.

[jwhouk]

What scares me is Jeph's comment on twitter: "I've had plans for Sven for literally years."

 

[ysth]

Wait, "we need to talk"?

Let me guess, Sven got some test results.

Exactly my thought.

SVEN:  I'm pregnant, and I think it's yours.

[SuctionCup Caper Two]

1)  I am dying from ____
2)  I just won the ____
3)  Apparently I've given everyone a horrid case of ___
4)  FEELINGS
5)  I married Raven.

Ok that should do it,  I've ruined most of the potential plot-lines,  forcing Jeph to do a massive rewrite.

[Smallest]

I was going with a) STD, b) FEELINGS, c) actually talking to Dora

[cesium133]

How long has in been in-universe since they were together? I'd think if he gave her an STD, she'd have noticed by now. 

My guess is he's going to confess his wuv for her.

[TheEvilDog]

Wait, "we need to talk"?

SVEN:  I'm pregnant, and I think it's yours.

Damn it, I was going to make that joke, so well done on getting there before me.
Also, I was just thinking to myself last week that we hadn't seen Sven in quite some time.
Now to mentally project a million euro coming towards me.

For a second there, I thought we were doing forum-based Cards Against Humanity.

Some STDs don't show any symptoms in women, like gonorrhea is asymptomatic for most women.  (I registered just the post that)

[mustang6172]

I wonder what cereal Steve is eating this week.

Wait, "we need to talk"?

Let me guess, Sven got some test results.

He definitely has breast cancer.

See, that really depresses me, my mom has breast cancer 

[Is it cold in here?]

Ouch.

It does happen to guys, too.

Welcome, new person!

[SomeCanadianWeirdo]

Crap!  Preempted from making a "Sven is pregnant!" post by hours.

[SomeCanadianWeirdo]

Perhaps it's something different from what we think.  Maybe Sven is up for musical director on the same show Angus auditioned for, and he's going to tell her that Angus is just about a given to be hired.

It's surprising we've never seen Sven in a recording studio.  He has to do his demos someplace, and it would interesting to see what a studio in the world of AIs looks like.  Just imagine, a scene where Sven is arguing with Producertron 9000 over lyrics.

[jwhouk]

A poll suggestion: What is Sven going to tell Faye?

• "I'm pregnant!"
• "I just got some test results back; it's chlamydia."
• "I'm moving to Nashville."
• "I can't stand it - I love you, Faye! Marry me!"
• "I just got a gig with some show in New York City..."
• "Someone stole my underwear."

Just saw the comic, thought of that, and like I expected, everyone beat me to it. But I added it to the poll anyway

[Platypodes]

Faye's response is so exactly what my response has been inside my head in so many such situations, it was really satisfying to see her say it out loud.  And that combined with being totally blindsided by this plot twist made me laugh my butt off.  (Oh no, somebody get me a butt-tourniquet.)

Some STDs don't show any symptoms in women, like gonorrhea is asymptomatic for most women.  (I registered just the post that)

And HIV often has no symptoms for years, in both men and women.

[SuctionCup Caper Two]

I don't know if we are going that route... it's more than likely butt-related knowing Jeph.

[D-alx]

Is it me or does Faye's facial expression not really match up to what she's saying?

Usually she has a really angry face when she says that.

[Platypodes]

I think she's too overwhelmed to go into rage mode.

And no, I don't think we're likely headed for hearing that Sven has HIV...  My money's on his coming to confess that Faye (and her butt) is still haunting his dreams.

[FunkyTuba]

Winter is coming

[Detachable Felix]

He definitely has breast cancer.

You're my favourite customer.


QC as written by Tommy Wiseau? 

[Nepiophage]

How long has in been in-universe since they were together?

Six months at least. It was winter when they broke up (shortly before the drunken sledding party) and it's now summer.

[Indicible]

Winter is coming

Dark demons cry Gaia?

In any case, dark days are coming (for Faye).

So, who's next? Faye's sister?

[T]

I would like to point out that men can have breast cancer too. And when they do it usually is aggressive.

Men have functional mammaries, just in smaller amounts.

[Welu]

Yay! I've missed Sven a lot.

Easy there guys, it was just a reference to The Room.

Prediction: Denny Cosette is accosted by an angry man about drugs, but the man is stopped when Johnny Dora and Mark Faye appear and tackle him. The next five strips after that will be a panning shot of the golden gate bridge.

[anahata]

See, that really depresses me, my mom has breast cancer 

If it's any consolation, my mum had it about 30 years ago, and she's still alive now aged 92. I can think of two friends who have also had it and are fine now. No, three...

[snubnose]

Sven ? Wasnt missing that dude.

What about Raven ? I'm missing Raven !

And about what this is about: I think Sven wants to have some final chat about their failed relationship. Though technically they already had that, did they not ?

5)  I married Raven.

I kind of can see that relationship work, though I doubt either of them would marry ANYONE.

Some STDs don't show any symptoms in women, like gonorrhea is asymptomatic for most women.  (I registered just the post that)

Okay ... actually nifty strategy of the disease, to hide and wait ... but does any other STD have this as well ? AIDS obviously doesnt do it, neither does syphillis, at least not according to Wikipedia.

He definitely has breast cancer.

Since we are in medical truths revealed mode: men CAN get breast cancer, even if what men have in respect to breast tissue is most of the time very little, thus this cancer is pretty rare.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_breast_cancer

[Storel]

Based on the fact that he actually admitted to Hanners that he hadn't been dating because he missed Faye so much (thanks for that link!), I suspect it's going to be about him wanting to get back together rather than any of the nastier stuff. That would make for comic drama, which is QC's strength. Finding out that he's given Faye (and therefore Angus) an STD/STI would be way too mean.

I hope.

Also, I was just thinking to myself last week that we hadn't seen Sven in quite some time.

Immediately followed by you being crushed underneath them all. Be careful what you wish for... 

[ankhtahr]

Yeah, let's not forget about this strip, which shows even more from what I can see.

[TinPenguin]

Has anyone actually had the experience of walking into a room and being greeted with "Oh for fucks sake" (or similar) for no apparent reason? I'm curious how you would react IRL.

[Mlle Germain]

Yeah sure, but with her reaction, I was thinking that there must be something else. I wouldn't question a well-working relationship that way (and withhold my fears from my partner) because of such a change - but then, I am of course not Faye and maybe the Angus-Faye relationship is not as well-working anyways? Maybe Faye and Angus aren't that close after all? We don't see that much of any close, emotional interaction between them in-comic.
Or maybe I am reading way more into Faye's reaction than there is. I just hope that she gets through this episode in the way that will ultimately make her the happiest (be it by sticking with Angus and learning to cope with the change in their relationship or by deciding that she does not want to stay in that relationship any longer - right now, I am really not sure which one it will be).

[NilsO]

Yeah, let's not forget about this strip, which shows even more from what I can see.

Yeah. Faye looks really sorry in that strip. She still has feelings for Sven, but cannot tolerate his infidelity.

Also, check my sig below. Basically, Faye  broke Sven. After Sven's fling with Gina Riversmith, resulting in Faye leaving him, Sven has not been interested in other girls than Faye. It has not been any lack of opportunities, but he is just not interested, preferring instead to read the history of the Crusades.

So, why do Sven need to talk to Faye? Except for some gag theories in this forum, I believe the real reason must be his feelings for her. With Dora lurking around at CoD, it certainly is not the best setting for him to confess his love to Faye. Still, I guess he wants to tell her he has changed, and ask for another chance if/when Faye breaks up with Angus.

[Schmorgluck]

I don't quite understand Faye right now. I mean, if Angus gets the gig, it makes things uncomfortable, but love isn't a matter of comfort.

As for Sven, I do hope he's about to manifest his good side.

I kinda missed him. Not enough to be aware of it before he appeared again, mind you.

The character I'm actually really missing is Lydia.

[Loki]

I don't quite understand Faye right now. I mean, if Angus gets the gig, it makes things uncomfortable, but love isn't a matter of comfort.

Is it not, now? Isn't (romantic) love about feeling good around your subject  of desire and having that feeling returned? There is only so much selflessness love can endure without it becoming painful.

[Srxjo]

Has anyone actually had the experience of walking into a room and being greeted with "Oh for fucks sake" (or similar) for no apparent reason? I'm curious how you would react IRL.

I've not got experience of being the person it's been said to but the person who has said it, normal responses I've gotten are "What's wrong?" and "What have I done now?", but that might be that the people I've ended up saying as a "greeting" now what my personality is like and that in person I'm not that social and usually lost in thought or reading.

[NilsO]

...and maybe the Angus-Faye relationship is not as well-working anyways? Maybe Faye and Angus aren't that close after all?

Maybe. I guess Angus' attraction to Faye was mainly because she consistently sassed him, giving him a real challenge. Angus loves challenges, and Faye as a sparring partner gave him a good work-out (mental, as well as physical  ). But now, after conquering her, he is looking for new challenges. I am not saying that Angus is a bad guy. He really likes Faye, and would prefer staying with her, but would not let her be a hindrance to his ambitions. If moving to NYC would mean a breakup with Faye, it would not stop him from moving.

We had a hint that Faye and Angus might have some problems in connection with the latest Hannersplosion, when Angus was not pleased because Faye was drunk. I guess Faye still has alcohol problems, and that this has strained their relationship.
