They Never Respond To Her Texts
Added 2025-02-27 01:59:27 +0000 UTCYou gotta admit, when Anh makes a decision, she really makes a decision

That caption had me wheezing XD I don't think Faye would like the answer lol
Cole Blackblood
2025-03-01 04:35:29 +0000 UTCBut Faye said "premarital" so... ARE THEY ENGAGED? And in what?

2025-02-27 23:57:59 +0000 UTCLast night? That's why there's no steamer trunks. The servants are still packing them.
Rich Holmes
2025-02-27 23:56:16 +0000 UTCYeah, my life is filled with regret. And misery.
Zig Justice
2025-02-27 23:33:19 +0000 UTCCleo is a bit of a buffer, too. Without her Anh's merry go round seems to spin faster and faster.
ValdVin
2025-02-27 23:20:43 +0000 UTCWe've never seen her go to church or talk about it (even an aside when she would be drinking heavily on a Saturday night in her earlier days). Her mom is still observant, if I remember Faye's visit to Savannah. I don't know what comickers do to signify religion, but when it does, it usually shows up on purpose, like Dumbing of Age, Gina in Leftover Soup, or Rikk in Faans.

2025-02-27 21:09:25 +0000 UTCBobC, the question is, did you really wake up, or did your anaesthesia-loopy brain just imagine that you did?

2025-02-27 21:08:23 +0000 UTCWhat the? Yikes.
Graydon Armstrong
2025-02-27 21:03:22 +0000 UTCNo! It's nice! She'd look all marmish otherwise.
Graydon Armstrong
2025-02-27 21:02:18 +0000 UTC- Annyeong! - Hello.
Graydon Armstrong

Graydon Armstrong
2025-02-27 20:58:10 +0000 UTCThe track's in my standard randomised playlist. And some of us still have to remind ourselves that the '90s don't count as "current". (Now, even I remember that the '70s reference further down is showing my age.)
Philip Masters
2025-02-27 18:47:03 +0000 UTCActually, that's formally undetermined. It's certainly been non-marital. (There's a long Monty Python quote I could paste in here, I think, but I'm not up to tracking it down right now. I think it was Python, anyway; we're talking 55-year memories here.)
Philip Masters
2025-02-27 18:43:45 +0000 UTCI thought Rene' was awful, but Anh has her beat up one side and down the other. Rene' eventually proved to be worth the oxygen she consumes.

2025-02-27 18:41:39 +0000 UTCAnesthesia takes forever but when we’re out -we’re really out. I’ve never had near death or waking up, but I did get an emergency C section before the anesthesia took effect. That was a long time ago though, so now it’s just a story we use to horrify people 😈

Corvus Cardia
2025-02-27 17:22:26 +0000 UTCOnly two states? Now that would just be silly. They have six states of course. Faye is from Georgia, Angus moved to New York and Marten's dad got married in Vermont and lives in Florida.

Philip Masters
2025-02-27 13:46:33 +0000 UTCVeronica. It does begin to seem that the QC USA consists of just two states.
Philip Masters
2025-02-27 13:44:37 +0000 UTCWell, she did decide at the wedding that Faye was her new best friend. And she may be perfectly serious about knowing stuff about robotics, and think that she can genuinely make herself useful there.
Philip Masters
2025-02-27 13:41:46 +0000 UTCWhy Union Robotics rather than the coffee shop that belongs to her friends wife (who would surely give her a job) and where Hanners works? Too close to her crush?

2025-02-27 07:20:04 +0000 UTC@Chauncey I feel the same. I probably didn't experience such bad treatment as you, but I saw how anyone "different" was treated and made the decision that I don't want to be part of their fantasy book club.

Captain Button
2025-02-27 06:59:13 +0000 UTCWhile she definitely behaves badly, I get the feeling of someone who never have been told that, rather than someone who does it to purposely belittle others. Sure, she's responsible for her behaviour, but I put most of the blame on her parents, and others responsible for her upbringing

angrytoast777
2025-02-27 06:48:14 +0000 UTCThe big question is, how do we get Anh to meet Ayo? That would be highly entertaining, at least for us who are safe behind the fourth wall

legobil
2025-02-27 06:09:04 +0000 UTCThere were a number of one-off interlude-type comics which are fourth wall breaks of a kind. For example, you could argue that #1337 indicates that Pintsize has some awareness of the comic number, and therefore the fact that he is in a comic. The canonicity of such events is dubious at best, however. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1337
BookBeard
2025-02-27 05:57:28 +0000 UTCThis is a great example of Faye's growth as a character. Ahn is still breathing, and not bleeding.

BookBeard
2025-02-27 05:25:02 +0000 UTCi don't think Faye is feeling very endeared right now
LH
2025-02-27 05:20:34 +0000 UTCFaye, a normal person would have texted "are you hiring" and you would have responded "hell no" and she'd be stuck in California instead of standing in your shop insinuating herself into your life so what's your point?

2025-02-27 05:06:05 +0000 UTCI personally follow Hephaestus as Lord of the Makers, Faye would fit right in.
Opus the Poet
2025-02-27 04:32:18 +0000 UTCWatching your father clear his mind, all over the ceiling, could do that to you. I spent the bulk of my formative years in the church, and it was the way myself and others were treated that led me to believe that there were no such thing as a god. I’ve experienced some pretty awful things at the hands of those who spoke on behalf of the Protestant god. Kinda soured my feelings on any other gods. Though biblically accurate Jesus seems like a pretty cool guy, I’ll admit.
Chauncey
2025-02-27 04:07:23 +0000 UTCOh, is Faye an atheist? I never quite knew that, but I'm by no means surprised!

Sean Kinlin

Packy Anderson
2025-02-27 03:25:01 +0000 UTCReluctant as I am to admit that I want to help Anh, I desperately want to tame that stray lock of hair… Utterly obnoxious. It must be vanquished!
Melissa Wilson
2025-02-27 03:23:16 +0000 UTCI have a vague memory that Pintsize broke the 4th wall, early in the strip, probably before #500. Anyone else have a more specific memory of this?

2025-02-27 03:19:16 +0000 UTCI burn through non-conscious sedation, but I don't tell the doctors. I've woken up during every surgery I've had as an adult, so I can watch what's going on via any reflective surface within my field of view. The best was the face shield worn by one surgeon. He caught me staring at his face, and I grinned at him as he calmly told the anesthesiologist, "Your patient is awake".

Michael Steamweed
2025-02-27 03:12:38 +0000 UTCYou burden me with your questions. You'd have me tell no lies. You're always asking what it's all about, but don't listen to my replies. You say to me I don’t talk enough, but when I do I'm a fool…
Melissa Wilson
2025-02-27 03:12:14 +0000 UTCWyrd Sisters? Or maybe Witches Abroad… but others, especially Vetinari, hold the same opinion.

SpookyPenguin
2025-02-27 02:47:24 +0000 UTCIf anyone in QC is built (figuratively) to break the 4th wall, it’s Faye, all the way.
Melissa Wilson
2025-02-27 02:46:58 +0000 UTCI love her. I hope she's super competent in an aspect of robotics that Faye isn't and actually needs her, and drives Faye nuts to admit it. Oh god, Anh and Pintsize together in the same city...
Temperjoke
2025-02-27 02:45:59 +0000 UTCYikes! It’s also pretty exciting to wake up from emergency surgery & not be lucid enough to explain to the nurses that you’re having an adverse reaction.
