Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

Bad artstyle but better dialogue/writing. RIP.

I'd rather be outside.

I actually prefer it to what's going on now myself.

At first, Jeph wasn't so great at drawing. Then he got a lot better, particularly at making expressive faces. In the past year or so I feel like he's regressed badly in that matter. I mean, look at Angus in panel 5 today. What is that?

Disappointment?

I do think it has less "charm" than it used to, but I'm not artistically inclined enough to identify why. Maybe sameface on a lot of characters, and eyes too wide...? I don't know.

Seemed pretty obvious to me. It's a "Really? I'm not dealing with this now"/half forced neutral face.

So done with this relationship drama bullshit, I have no sympathy for Faye whatsoever.

Thanks Poui.

I dunno, I do. I get where she's coming from in this and Faye's never been good with relationships.

Yeah, Faye's dumb. "Wow, I'm not even willing to try a long distance relationship for even a second." Well, that's a good litmus test for Angus that it wasn't going to work out.

Let's see, worst case scenario for how the writing unfolds from here: Marten or Dora talks sense into Faye, she sulks until the last minute, runs after Angus as he's about to get on the plane and says she still wants to be with him, he says no because he's done with that, and gets on the plane while Faye looks dramatically forlorn.
I hope I'm wrong.

~Dramatic Juxtaposition~

As one relationship rises, another falls.

Such is the wheel of fate.

At least Sven is conveniently waiting in the plotwings to swoop in and carry Faye away.

Mother[radio edit]ing approval. No sympathy at all for Faye, she's been pissing me off. Jeph has given himself another opportunity for character development, let's hope he takes it.

Yeah, definitely would've fired Faye as well. There's no excuse for that shit.

Predicting next arc will be Faye at alcoholics anonymous.

I think half of it was that she had already told Faye not to come to work drunk.

You know as boring as you guys call him, Marten's a decent guy. I'd be okay with being friends with him.

He can be dumb sometimes, yeah, and he makes stupid decisions, but he's also totally willing to not go hang out with a cute girl who is major interested in him to ensure that a friend of his is okay. I mean, it's probably a stupid decision from a lot of points, going purely from Marten's perspective, but it's something I consider positive.

I don't think this is a stupid decision for him. Faye is clearly hurting and he needs to help her.

Well, from a personal standpoint he's risking his relationship with Claire by ditching the date, he's also risking a lot of potential issues with Faye, 'cause she's in a bad spot. I'm not saying it's a -wrong- decision, just that if he was looking out for #1 above all, the logic here says that dealing with Faye at the moment is... well, just potentially hazardous. Claire hasn't been shown to be jealous or unreasonable yet, which is nice, but Faye's relatively abusive on a good day and has a host of issues regardless of just getting fired and being consistently drunk. There's also puke on the couch already, which means she hasn't stopped drinking. I dunno. I'd just be worried that she'd get violent or try to make me do something I regret, were I in Marten's shoes.

I'd still totally help my friend, and props to him for not even taking a moment to consider it.
