the double peninsula thing blew my mind. I spent around a minute complaining about how that couldn't exist to my partner until I googled it.

Every isthmus joke I came up with was either really lame, or somehow related to how isthmus vaguely sounds like christmas.

Isthmus, it's what connects Santa to the religious aspect of the holiday!

I know you've Posted an image or something like an image in your Post, but for some reason all I'm seeing is a blank spot beneath your Post.
Dunno whether it's me, you or the Forum, but I thought I'd just mention it.
It's a YouTube vid of carbon fiber cloth, showing off the type of weave. You're not really missing anything important if you can't see it.

And the vid-link is working on my iPad.

I think that Faye will go to the support group at least once. However, I don't think that she will tell her friends. As has been mentioned already, she's sore and embarrassed; she is unlikely to admit to something that, to her, would be an admission of weakness. If any of them find out, it will be by accident (maybe Tai is in the group too?)

The set-up of the group lets Jeph expand Faye's circle and have fun with the grotesques (including Jimbo and Blood Fukk?) from the 'creepy' sub-group in the room next door when they mingle in the lobby after a meeting.

The 'help wanted' ads may also give Faye an idea for a possible self-employed job for which her issues may be a qualification. Faye Whitaker, PI? It started with finding this guy's chickens! May as her spunky sidekick and Marigold helping out with the paperwork?

For instance, I once told a new hire that I would like to keep him in a closet and feed him cookies. not serious of course, but not knowing me at the time, he took a biiiig step back.

Oh, he was fine after I insisted that I was joking. Those were the days back when he wasquiet, shy, 19 and fresh out of high school. That was probably 6 or 7 years ago, and it's pretty much impossible for us to truly creep each other out now.

I've always been rather hard to creep out. Maybe I'm not sensitive to it, or maybe I'm the creepy one and don't realize it? I don't think that's the case but it's always possible.

Anyway, I take two things out of Faye lying about the support group ad to Hanners.
  • She is embarrassed about her condition still and plans to go on her own volition, without anyone finding out. OR
  • She doesn't plan on going at all, and lied so Hanners wouldn't insist she does.
Remember, alcoholism plays tricks on the brain and what's good and healthy for the addict doesn't always seem like the best choice at the time! And even though Faye has already made big steps by admitting she has a problem and seeking support through friends, a more formal setting could seem intimidating to her.

I am kinda surprised Hanners keeps newsprint around the apartment. Messy stuff, that. Cockroaches love it. Why, I remember the time when our ad manager was driving a stack of tearsheets into town and a big ol' cockroach crawled up, out of the footwell of her car and right up AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... (that's exactly how she told the story, later)

... Maybe Winslow finally had enough.

I do like Hanners's "Yes, you're very funny" though.

Yeah, but just one panel later, Faye condemned the thought of it. I absolutely think it'd be wise for her, but I'm not certain it would be in character.

Jeph's aware of that issue, Cons; that's why he practically triple-underlined the fact that this group is strictly 'no-creeps'.

It would be funny if they have some kind of group therapy thing they do that Faye finds incredibly embarrassing but actually likes. For example: drum-playing ("I'm being told to make a racket! How cool is that?"), using visual aids to tell their story ("Do you think steel or bronze is the best material for this animated self-portrait?") and the like.

EDIT: This isn't really worth making a separate post, but I'm really happy that QC is returning to it's kind of goofy nature. There are jokes again! This pleases me.

I can't tell if it's a joke, or a message ('if you look for it, there's exactly the support group you need! Yay support groups!') or... I don't know.

This is the only strategy that will work for Emily.  She will reciprocate by taking one feather from each chicken, fashioning them into an elaborate hat, and doing the chicken-dance on top of the stacks.

It's basically the cocking of the Chekhov's Gun that was first identified when Claire remarked that she had a lot of benefit from going to a support group.

Maybe what Faye needs is a women's support group. I've been to a bunch of them, and age has been mentioned in exactly zero of their descriptions (although Alateen is a separate thing). "18-30, no creeps" sounds more like a dating service.

Anyway, I take two things out of Faye lying about the support group ad to Hanners.

I don't think she lied about it exactly.  I can understand that she chose not to mention it, whilst mentally noting the details, then moved on and chose to comment on the "murder my balls" advert instead.

But I agree with the first of your conclusions. I think she might go to the group, but is too embarrassed to admit that to anyone else.

Even more mindblowing: You can totally illustrate both parts with your hands: Right hand palm towards you, left hand flat on top with the thumb slightly downward to connect to the tip of the mitten and pinky up. Michigan!  :mrgreen:

And here I thought that "double peninsula" meant that you lived on the thumb. A peninsula of a peninsula would be a double peninsula. Otherwise it's just two single peninsulas passing in the night, never to meet.

Do we even know that Faye will find the support group helpful? A while back we discussed the idea of her going to AA, and we came to the conclusion that Jeph would nix the idea, due to his own experience with getting sober.

I'm thinking if Faye does go to the support group, this will be Jeph's way of expressing it as a shitty option, and have her eventually quit and go her own way.

I can't tell if it's a joke, or a message ('if you look for it, there's exactly the support group you need! Yay support groups!') or... I don't know.


I'm waiting until the strip progresses further to decide if it's giving a pro-support groups message. Considering Jeph has said he didn't use one when he himself quit, I'm thinking it's more a chance to introduce new characters and set Faye's future plot path than it is a 'support groups are totally fantastic, guys!' thing.


Yeah, I get it - I don't like it from a storytelling perspective though. Support groups aren't for everybody, and that's fine! Why shoehorn a character into it?

And some people wouldn't manage to get sober without a group to help them.

I don't see it as shoehorning at all. Faye's already using Hanners as a sort of tiny, adorable support group. This whole scene, remember, got started because Faye needed Hanners' help to fight the urge to buy scotch

 You're absolutely right though, the specifications of the group seem to be a pretty convenient plot device, but at the same time, I'd be willing to bet those exist, seeing as so many people have exactly the same concerns as Faye voiced back in strip 2895.

I'm thinking if Faye does go to the support group, this will be Jeph's way of expressing it as a shitty option, and have her eventually quit and go her own way.

AA isn't the only group option out there. Besides, with groups (as with individual therapists), it takes a few tries sometimes to find the right fit, assuming the group dynamic works for you (and it doesn't for everyone).

I'm willing to bet that there's more people who think they don't need a support group, but do, than people who don't really need one. (See "dry drunk syndrome.")

It would be really weird to show up to a support group and be told that you had to go to the group for creeps.

FYI Subaru
I know you've Posted an image or something like an image in your Post, but for some reason all I'm seeing is a blank spot beneath your Post.
Dunno whether it's me, you or the Forum, but I thought I'd just mention it.
It's a YouTube vid of carbon fiber cloth, showing off the type of weave. You're not really missing anything important if you can't see it.

And the vid-link is working on my iPad.

Yeah, it's working OK for me now as well.

YouTube was being a bit squirrelly last night, so that might have been it.

I wonder if we won't see a familiar face or two at the support group.  Steve seems to have had a booze problem after he broke up with Ellen.  It was what led to his recruitment by whatever section of US intelligence he works for.  It could make for a good excuse to bring back some character from the past who's been MIA for a long time.

Sooo… Is this the "Faye goes to a support group" Very SpecIal Episode, or the "Faye accidentally starts Fight Club 2.0" super-extra-extremely Special Episode?


FAYE: "Padma?"

Sooo....that's a "yes" to the Fight Club idea?

Has anyone tried reviving The Washingtonian Society? Having a non-theistic support group around would probably help out a lot of alcoholics who are turned off by AA's religious based program.
