So I've been re-reading some of the previous strips, and noticed something in a particular one. I apologize for not linking the specific strip, I thought it was titled "Tannins" but apparently not.
Strip Summary:
Marten and Faye drink a bottle of wine, and they gave it a specific title of something like "Worry Wine" or "Gripe Wine", basically a bottle to drink while discussing your woes with a friend. In the followup strips, they both say the following line, independent of each other, and in different locations.
"I don't know why my head hurts so much, I only had 2 glasses of wine".
Now, I don't know anything about tannins in wine, as I don't drink, so maybe these things are some kind of head smasher to people, but I do find it odd they both say this, and then shortly (and by shortly I mean over the course of a significant chunk of the series), have a significant change in their relationship status. Marten ends up hooking up with Claire, and Faye ends up breaking up with Angus.
Now, I'd like to think that this was just a small bit of fun on Jeph's part, but a part of me feels like it was a subtle seed planting for something later? *shrugs* I dunno, it feels like wild speculation on my part, and conspiracy theorizing, and I acknowledge that, but it just felt so specific for such a small and inconsequential thing you know? They both had headaches, they both only drank 2 glasses, and then it's never brought up again, and yet it was important enough to point out in two different follow up strips?
Thoughts?
