you can do anything...in your imagination

This was the comic that made me realize that Faye dresses like Daria Morgendorffer 🤣
Faye has heterochromia in the upper right panel 💙 🤎 Looks kinda good
two words, and hear me out here: band geek.
Anh is really a "nice" foil to Faye :D
She has become Faye's primary Anhtagonist.
For the record…. It’s “Imaaaaaginaaaaaaaaation”. To quote a certain yellow under sea creature. 😁
Jeph, I just realized after following some refs some other fans have posted in recent comments sections how much much you have improved at drawing teeth! I could tell you were experimenting with it in some of the older strips, and I realized when looking at the new strips again, the effect is much smoother and more subtle than it was before. I didn't really notice it, except in comparison with the older strips, but the way you're doing it now really looks great! It's really subtle, but does make a difference! I'm just really loving the drawing lately! So good!
Quit while you're behind, Anh.
Quit before you get punched, Anh.
I think Faye is making it up. In her imagination, she had a normal highschool experience.
Well, we know that she used to beat at least one boy up, more or less regularly. Which may be the kind of thing that Anh was imagining. (Should we not hope for the return of Agent Turing, one day?)
Why does nobody ever say "Fuck on"? Just askin'.
Fuck yeah!
The self-awareness streak continues, haha
I think they are bonding. Bonding whom, with what, to what...still unclear.
Probably using 4-part epoxy.
Faye was a prom squire.
"prom minister"
I had no idea what "normal" was. At 17, I was emotionally only about 12.
I'm 38 and I'm still not sure.
Wait, that's what constitutes a normal high school experience? I might have to reevaluate some shit. (psst Jeph I think Faye has Transparent Eye Disease in panel 2)
Yeah, if that was a normal high school experience, I'm not sure I know a single person who had a normal high school experience. :P
I always imagined Faye as an abrasive proto-hipster who was "too cool" to have friends (seen as pride)
So, Daria?
So Anh never went to a prom because she was a boarding school kid and Liz never went to prom because she was already at Oxford by the time she was 12. And prom was really an American thing.
Harvard and MIT, actually. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4981
It is beginning to look as if Anh is actually being treated as a friend -- given Faye's last line. Can this be?
Faye has more or less had to admit this, hard though she rows back whenever Anh remarks on the fact.
I feel old. Anh herself must admit she has zero reference. I was an overly friendly nerd. I also was put in a horrible private school with the late king of pop & the official 2nd most blonde girl of my generation. I’m happy & lucky I got to return to public school my senior year. Am on good terms with my “Faye” (who oddly is a famous librarian & public lesbian) last I checked. The middle school Anh needs to fess up. The Class of ‘76 was odd. Odder than it needed to be.
Is a public lesbian like a public intellectual? Or is it an official position, like the NYT used to have a Public Editor?
"I imagined you as the basket case, not the princess..." "...or maybe the criminal..."
Not the jock.
I had the shittiest time in high school, but I'm one of the few people in my class that's doing ok now. Everything I liked that they made fun of is popular now. I won.
My 50th high school reunion was a couple years ago. I couldn't attend, but it was great getting back in touch. Too many had passed on, which put a cloud over the event. Fortunately, the people who were lovely back then continued to be so now, carefully shepherding any gloom to the sides to keep focus on the gathering itself. We had a couple jerks, uh, I mean "jocks", who made it into the NFL and MLB, each having good careers. The NFL one had concussion (TBI) issues that limited his participation in the reunion. The MLB one had become a MLB coach and a play-by-play commentator with a streak of warmth and humor I had no clue existed within him. The most fun for me from our online gatherings was "The Revenge of the Dweebs, Nerds, Geeks and Weirdos". I had severe depression that arrived with puberty, so of course I suited up with Team Weird. Made those years survivable. As a group, we had aged well, with very few losses along the way. We had way too much fun pointing out problems with Medicare and Social Security, just as we used to have fun pointing out problems with Teachers and Staff. The parallels were hilarious.
😂🤣😂
Be careful, Anh. It's not good to get Faye stuck in "murder mode."
some questions better left unasked
In any case, the answer will always be 42.
To be fair, Faye, most things anyone says are likely to piss you off.
Okay, but are we talking regular popular or *nerd* popular? Asking for a cinnamon roll. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4203
"Nerd" popular? Asking for another Roll, Perfect Cinnamon. https://www.dumbingofage.com/comic/meetin/
I have just realized that the mystery applicant to Cubetown will be showing up next week In QC time, so maybe by August or so. I've gotta relax and enjoy all the other beloved characters in the meantime.
No surprise. You've already seen the floating humming black slab. :D
lmao poor faye
Anhything.
To be fair, Adult Faye would very much be an outsider in any US high school. She'd probably be competing for the same boys as Do—She was always going to end up this way.
Prime Fayeface in that last panel
Fayce
Taneka Burgess? Faye, you'd better make sure Amy Anderson doesn't find out about your other "platonic crush". https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4364
She won't find out. She's been in hiding ever since she heard Bubbles was coming for her.
