Faye

Shebly

Something involving butts

[SomeCanadianWeirdo]

Comic!  Shouting!  Angry!

I wonder if this won't  turn out to be foreshadowing of Faye deciding to become a doctor.

[DSL]

FAYE: "Burn that sucker right off. Lemme get my gear."
HANNERS: "Oh, OK ... Wait. Your WHAT gear?! ... oh god ..."

[chaospersonified]

Scary Faye is frightening Hanners, but it's okay because Hanners is... Why is it okay? I mean, I feel like we need the next strip's context to know if it's okay. I think it's okay.

I don't know. I'm very, very tired right now.

[mustang6172]

Damn it Hanners!  I'm a sculptor, not a doctor. 

[Method of Madness]

Jeph likes having his characters say "oh gosh/god" lately

[Random Wanderer]

Hanners, relax. Your dad's got cancer handled.

[Rghfrgl]

I wonder if this won't  turn out to be foreshadowing of Faye deciding to become a doctor.

Worse than Dr Cox.

Worse than House.

[MrNumbers]

The comic cropped out weird, so I just got Hanners leaning back screaming "Oh god!" and the top of Faye's head at crotch height.

I must admit, I flinched hard. Took me a moment to scroll down.

[ZoeB]

An allergic reaction to an implanted RFID chip? Given her parents, security concerns etc it would make sense.

[Timemaster]

Good morning,

Todays comic is nice and the panicking Hannelore is kinda sweet in her own weird way. But Fayes reaction in the last panel appears to me a bit too strong. I know of cause that she would never actually use violence on Hanners. There is no question about that. But did she really have to go so far to get Hanners to snap out of her panic?
Maybe a more timid reaction would have sufficed. Although on the other hand it would have been less for the readers. And this is Faye I´m talking about...

Faye fails at sympathetic empathy. Mostly because she's Faye and Hannelore is Hannelore. In many ways, it's a relief that all the troubles that Faye has gone through hasn't altered her basically impatient and unpleasant personality.

Prediction: Doctor Faye will prescribe a Band-Aid for Hanners' boo-boo.

[Thrillho]

I wonder if this won't  turn out to be foreshadowing of Faye deciding to become a doctor.

Worse than Dr Cox.

Worse than House.

'I tried to remove the tumour surgically, but it didn't work, so I'm going to punch it out of you.'

[Geographus]

'I tried to remove the tumour surgically, but it didn't work, so I'm going to punch it out of you.'

'But ... but why would you punch it?'
'Because I don't have my blowtorch here right now.'

[katsmeat]

    I remember going to the British Museum one day to read up the treatment for some slight ailment of which I had a touch—hay fever, I fancy it was. I got down the book, and read all I came to read; and then, in an unthinking moment, I idly turned the leaves, and began to indolently study diseases, generally. I forget which was the first distemper I plunged into—some fearful, devastating scourge, I know—and, before I had glanced half down the list of "premonitory symptoms," it was borne in upon me that I had fairly got it.

    I sat for awhile, frozen with horror; and then, in the listlessness of despair, I again turned over the pages. I came to typhoid fever--read the symptoms--discovered that I had typhoid fever, must have had it for months without knowing it--wondered what else I had got; turned up St. Vitus's Dance--found, as I expected, that I had that too,--began to get interested in my case, and determined to sift it to the bottom, and so started alphabetically--read up ague, and learnt that I was sickening for it, and that the acute stage would commence in about another fortnight. Bright's disease, I was relieved to find, I had only in a modified form, and, so far as that was concerned, I might live for years. Cholera I had, with severe complications; and diphtheria I seemed to have been born with. I plodded conscientiously through the twenty-six letters, and the only malady I could conclude I had not got was housemaid's knee.

Jerome K Jerome, Three Men in a Boat, 1889

We can't blame the internet for this.

'I tried to remove the tumour surgically, but it didn't work, so I'm going to punch it out of you.'

'But ... but why would you punch it?'
'Because I don't have my blowtorch here right now.'

'Ordinarily I'd use booze as a disinfectant, but I'm not allowed to have booze anymore, so you'll have to hope it doesn't get infected.'

[Zebediah]

"A combination of booze and blowtorch would be best, because then you'd have flames shooting out of your side, and that would be awesome."

[snubnose]

[...] But Fayes reaction in the last panel appears to me a bit too strong. [...]

How so ? Its a perfectly natural Faye reaction.

[Welu]

Also she's probably going through some withdrawal which would add to the cranky.

[Is it cold in here?]

A perfectly natural Faye reaction is too strong.

[Endellion]

Comic strip 2963 guest starring Dick Van Dyke as Faye

Did Hanners charge to Faye's apartment in the kit she went to bed in?

[Method of Madness]

It would appear so. Also..."kit"? That usage is unfamiliar to me.

[pwhodges]

"Kit" for clothes - is that not widespread?  Games kit?  Fit kit?

[Thrillho]

I gotta say I've heard it in the 'football kit' sense, but not in the sense of just clothes generally, except in the 'get your kit off' sense.

[pwhodges]

Kit bag?

I suppose the word kit relates more commonly to sports or uniform clothing than everyday clothing; but Hanners' shorts would come in as fitness clothing.

[Thrillho]

That too, but again I'd expect sports clothing to be in there.

[cesium133]

It would appear so. Also..."kit"? That usage is unfamiliar to me.

You see, Hanners skinned some kittens to make her clothing. Thus, her clothing is her 'kit'. 

[Method of Madness]

Hanners is Mr. Burns?

Also, I thought a kit was a baby fox.

[cesium133]

There's no better than authentic Irish Setter!

[Kugai]

Faye is more Gunny Hartman at this point

[jwhouk]

"Kit" is a British term. We use "clothes" or "uniform" or "outfit" in the states.

[Method of Madness]

Ahh, like how they call pants "trousers".

[chaospersonified]

Oh, those wacky Brits. Giving us a language to destroy, recreate, and then, letting us look back and judge the original...
Crazy stuff...

[Omega Entity]

Ahh, like how they call pants "trousers".

And as I recall, 'pants' is underwear over there. Could be remembering wrong, though.

[Method of Madness]

Right, and they call underpants "pants". How wonderfully absurd. Of course I could be called the same for calling pants "underpants" and trousers "pants". Language is fun.

[chaospersonified]

Comic's up. EYES ON THE ROAD, FAYE! HANDS AT TEN AND TWO!

[hedgie]

The UK and the US are two countries divided by a common tongue.  Also, when did Faye get a car?

[jwhouk]

Part of me is actually surprised that Faye has a license since her episode after her dad died - but I think we saw her driving at least one other time in the strip.

[CaptainFish]

I wonder if this won't  turn out to be foreshadowing of Faye deciding to become a doctor.

Worse than Dr Cox.

Worse than House.

'I tried to remove the tumour surgically, but it didn't work, so I'm going to punch it out of you.'

The most JoJo of comic strips.

[Method of Madness]

I have no idea what that means.

[Toe]

She takes auto safety very seriously, but she wears her seatbelt shoulder strap under her armpit? Except she wears it right in panel 3, and then goes back to wearing it wrong in #4.

[CaptainFish]

I have no idea what that means.

Oh, just that a lot of stuff is solved by punching in JoJo. >_>

Example: dealing with suspicious food.

[Method of Madness]

What is "in JoJo"?

[mustang6172]

The UK and the US are two countries divided by a common tongue.  Also, when did Faye get a car?

I too am unable to account for Faye's vehicle.

[Rghfrgl]

Typical Jojo tumor.

[QuestionableIntentions]

So the QC universe has sentient toasters but not self driving cars?

[K1dmor]

Also, when did Faye get a car?

 I think that's Hannelore's car. It was implied on 2376-2377 that she was gonna be driving.

[lolbutts]

Do people ever get tired of presuming the worst about Faye? It's like a hobby for so many regulars and one of the main reasons I perpetually lurk. Sorry for derail, it just baffles me sometimes.

Faye fails at sympathetic empathy. Mostly because she's Faye and Hannelore is Hannelore. In many ways, it's a relief that all the troubles that Faye has gone through hasn't altered her basically impatient and unpleasant personality.

Prediction: Doctor Faye will prescribe a Band-Aid for Hanners' boo-boo.

[Deadcoder]

We see Faye and Hannelore in a car in 2964; yet we know Marten doesn't own a car, and given how Faye walks everywhere, she probably doesn't own one either, so whose car is that? Hannelore never mentioned owning one, but she might, given that her parents have what is probably trillions of dollars. Whose car is that?

[cesium133]

At least in 581 and 621 it's implied Faye doesn't have a car.

[K1dmor]

...Faye doesn't have a car.

 Not since the accident.
