Yeah, but Faye's also aware of Hanners' strengths (not least of which is not taking anyone's crap when push comes to shove). I think that probably has something to do with why she's there.

Hanners might be physically weak, but she can put Faye in her place verbally. She's done it before.

Very good sign that Faye is reaching out for help in staying sober. She's going to need it. Hanging out alone while unemployed can lead to incredible depression, and is going to intensify Faye's alcohol cravings. She should take on some sort of project - either job-hunting or sculptural or something. But hanging with Hanners will do for this first day.

Hanners shouldn't sell herself short in the strength department. When she gets angry, she roars like a bear.

I miss sculptorFaye! I had always thought Jeph would take that in it's own direction but he wrote it out didn't he? I can't remember how.

IRT today's strip, I'm glad Faye is reaching out to someone. I'm also glad that she's reaching out to Hanners; we haven't seen much of her lately and this is a good chance for both of them to grow, both individually and together. New relationships in a series are always great ways to write new content (Claireten, Darigold, etc, but also non-romantic ones like we're seeing here). It'll be interesting to see how they interact with each other in isolation if their time together gets extended for more than a few strips. Outside work, outside social gatherings (drinking, lake house, etc), outside public, they might clique very differently. I'm excited to see how this plays out.

Also, Emily-Clinton date when?!

Good initiative on Faye's part. Have someone distract her from drinking. The problem will be to hold herself if there is nobody around.

I can imagine a strip where she's feeling temptation, so she calls Hanners, who made plans with Marigold. Then she calls Marten, who's on a double-date with Claire , Emily, and Clinton. She considers calling Dora but decides against it in light of their recent conflict. Finally she looks at Pintsize, who gives a nervous glance back at her. Knowing Jeph, this would happen on a Friday, so there'd be a cliffhanger. The next week of comics would be Yelling Bird and date filler.

I can't help but feel that the next real drama bomb will hit in the next few weeks (Real time, not comic time). Dora getting called to task? Svenectomy and Svenpocolypse? For now I think we are going to get some sad as Faye begins recovery and some lighthearted Marten/Claire or Emily/Clinton or Pintsize etc.

Poor Faye really has it bad, doesn't she? There are no signs of the shakes or other physical symptoms but it really looked like she was about to fall into Hannelore's arms in panel 1.

FWIW, I don't think that Marten really is aware just how addicted Faye is and how hard she's struggling. He's still in the "She's gonna be okay, right?" self-delusion where, once she feels a little better, the problem will solve itself. It's understandable that he doesn't want to confront how deeply rooted her emotional problems are. It's in-character for Faye to go along with this because she doesn't want him to worry when he's just starting a new relationship.

I agree that Faye needs professional help. I also can see why she doesn't want to be alone with Pintsize. What she needs is for Hanners to drown out the voice in her head urging her to drink.

I think a lot of people called Faye hanging out with Hanners and looking to her for support, and it certainly makes sense. As for Hanners though, while she may be weaker than Faye, but not necessarily meeker.

I'd also like to see this week alternate between Dora and Faye. I suppose Marten and Claire have to get to work at some point, but as I said in last week's thread, I'm hoping that Tai makes a sly remark that makes them blush and feel awkward, rather than some exuberant/squee-filled celebration. We've already seen her do that twice, and a few other characters have had that reaction since Marten and Claire got together, too. At worst, it's shilling the relationship; at best, it's re-using a punchline that's been done several times in the past few months.

I could actually see Sven getting the Wil's old bike and he and Faye heading off on a healing journey of self discovery. We will only see moments of this through surreal postcards.

So, where next after today's strip?

The reason I ask is because, IMO, it would be possible for Jeph to actually set Faye and Hannelore's adventures aside for a strip or two, now he has established the terms of their future adventure together. Tomorrow could be something different or, just to play with our heads, tomorrow could be something different and then we go back to Faye and Hannelore.

I say this because, once again IMO, Friday's strip could be seen as a sort-of-cliffhanger as much as today's.

On a side-note, I wonder just how many balls Jeph can keep in the air at the same time? More importantly, how good is he at fooling us by throwing a ball up into the air that he has no intention of keeping up in the air (like Juicy)?

She potentially would have made a nice character antagonist, especially over the 'deputy manager dating an intern' issue. She'd already expressed extreme scepticism that Marten wasn't getting special treatment in exchange for looking the other way about Tai dating Dora.

But do we see her quitting, or is that strip basically just lampshading the fact that we haven't seen her in a while? I seem to remember her last appearance being a conversation with Marten at the library, but I don't remember what they discussed.

No. She just stopped appearing in the comic. A lot of the forumites speculated she had been put on the bus because of that. I look at that line as Jeph indirectly telling the readers that Gabby was out of the comic.

I think Faye went to Hannelore because Hanners, as noted, will put her foot down, but also because she's usually so vulnerable and sweet that Faye doesn't believe that she can bring herself to hit her, however bad it gets. Or it may be because Hanners is the only one on her day off.

I think Faye went to Hanners because she thought, "I need a friend right now. OH WAIT! I HAVE A FRIEND IN THE APARTMENT DIRECTLY ABOVE ME!!!"

Is it cold in here?

They've bonded over psychological problems before.

I'm hoping Hanners suggests a visit with Dr. Corrinne. 

Already on Faye's to-do list.

I'm still wondering where she'll find work. Would Jeph introduce another shop setting, like he did after Marten and Dora broke up, or re-use an existing one like tSB? This kinda feels like a big enough change in the strip that we could see a new environment. I don't think diving head first into an artistry career alone is feasible at this point - she needs something stable to pay the rent at least until she gets established (unless that art dealer dude suddenly comes back to CoD and commissions a big installation or something).

Alternately, the espressaurus may become an absolute hit, leading to someone looking for the artist behind it and catapulting Faye to her 15 minutes of fame. How long's it been since the art dealer bought it? It must be on display somewhere by now.

EDIT: I checked the handy timeline. It's been about 13 weeks in-comic time since Art Guy walked away with the espressaurus.

Not to mention, Hanners has quite a lot of experience dealing with compulsive behaviour on her own, and overcoming her urges to count or clean.  Her struggles and progress can give Faye some insight, and even inspiration on how to deal with her compulsive drinking.

I'm not down with how jobs are found in the States, but I'd imagine you need references? It'll be interesting to see what Faye's is like. I doubt Dora will deliberately cause trouble for her by saying 'I fired her for being drunk', but it wouldn't surprise me if Faye struggling to find a job because of how she was fired from CoD being a plot thread.

Most places will give a very generic reference to be sure they don't get sued. Personally, I've always been really wary of glowing references, because it often means that they're eager to get rid of someone.
