Here, it's 3:15 on Tuesday.  I mean how crazy have the last two comics been, amirite?  First, Marten breaks up with Claire and spits on her face and then we find out Momo and Clinton have been dating for weeks.  I for one didn't see it coming.

Meh, it was related to Friday's comic ("Claire and Marten are 'kind of a thing, now!' Who will be the last to find out?", with appropriate punny choices) and probably won't be very relevant by mid-week.  I'll pass.

You just need to build up a resistance to the puns. Or the capacity to use them yourself. Personally I find it shocking that people dislike puns.

I vote that we change the poll to whether we fire you out of a cannon into a volcano or put you through a wood chipper and feed you to whale sharks for somehow implanting that horrible idea into Jeph's mind.

I don't mind good puns, but right now they are alternating currently between good and bawd so frequently it's pushing me to the breaker point, I mean it almost physically hertz to read some of them

Actually a week from the perspective of the denizens of The Secret Bakery might be interesting as well as a totally new way of looking at the story. Faye coming for her muffin hit, Angus coming to drown his sorrows in pastries and cocoa, Dora and Jim talking shop and, of course, Veronica doing her motherly duty by gently teasing Marten and Claire.

And you don't want to know the stuff Sam puts into the brownies that she found out in the woods!

Seriously, you don't!

I really would like it to be Sam who brings Faye out of her funk. Sometimes, the obvious wisdom of children goes where adults fear to tread.

Yeah, Faye just needs to retreat to childhood for an hour or two and do some totally goofy stuff with Sam.

Scenario: Jim asks Faye to supervise Sam and Momo on an afternoon outing to the woods. Momo winds up supervising Sam and Faye.

I could see Faye cutting loose with Sam, but it still seems unlikely. Sam brings out the mother in Faye. The totally awesome mother who lets you make swords and offers you unlimited skull power, but still a mom. She cuts through Sam's irresponsible behavior and has no compunction against reminding Sam that they aren't "friends."

At no point does Faye have any conflicts about this. It's just her natural mode with the girl. I just don't see Faye reaching a level where she needs to reined in. She might exceed Momo's sense of the appropriate.

Faye's sense is arguably not a good yard stick, but I submit that the stuff Faye lets Sam get upto is no less dangerous than the stuff Sam does on her own (See: Snake!). At least at CoD, Sam is engaged in supervised mayhem.

Also, Sam actually learns things when around Faye. Not necessarily the sort of things Jim would want her to learn (welding!), but...
