[Marigold is a little chunky,](http://questionablecontent.net/)but in that kinda sexy soft bodied female way, but her general hygiene is/was presented as so reprehensible (she still has zits) , I’d have to imagine she must smell or have other funkiness issues unless she’s gotten religion from Hannelore’s industrial level cleanup of her living space.

Are she and Angus going to go to town? Today’s cartoon has not updated yet.

Looks like it’s headed that way. Also, I think Marigold has been looking a lot like Faye this week.

I think that is what they are going to go for. I noticed in a comic two days ago when Marigold started dancing she was cutish, so maybe the author is trying to hint that Angus will see that.

Mar in panel 3 today is perhaps the most attractive webcomic character I’ve ever seen - something about the pose.

It’ll be a good way to cause drama. Angus has been chasing Faye for awhile now, and if he gets with Marigold there will be some major roommate drama.

I think the implication has been that Marigold started cleaning up and paying more attention to actual social interaction more. Not that she is losing her geekiness, just showering and not living in filth.

I think Faye is about to realize she let slip away another opportunity at a healthy relationship.

Faye, whatever her demons. is at root a fairly caustic personality bordering on nasty. I’m not sure she “gets” a healthy relationship. Now Angus is also revealed as the probable inheritor of extreme wealth. The best adventure IMO is for him to get Marigold pregnant and see where that takes them.

Is Faye nasty because of her past or was she that way before her father died? I think a good relationship could take out some of the meanness, mellow her out a bit.

It would be out of character for this author to put them together in bed so quickly.

Angus and Marigold are going to realize that they’re comfortably snuggling together and will look contentedly at each other. Then Angus is going to go in for a kiss (with Marigold’s eyes opening wide in shock when it happens). They’ll break it off, look at each other for a moment, and then both turn away, dying of embarrassment.

I have to say, the last three comics have really had me falling in love with Angus. The whole “grind on my booty” and Marigold’s face made me crack up.

Considering [today’s comic](http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1600), titled “SUBTEXT!”, plus the innuendo dialog, I think Jeph is tweaking shippers outright.

I can see Marigold falling for Angus while Angus continues to pursue Faye.

I think Marigold has already sorta fallen for Angus. We’ve seen in an earlier comic where he falls asleep next to her and she snuggled up to him.

She could just be insanely lonely, which is possible.

Or lez out with Hanners, which apparently a lot of QC fans want.

And Angus seems like one of the few guys she is friends with, period, so it’d be easy for her to fall for him - though I agree she already has, at least a little. Or maybe she’s just not used to positive attention of any kind for a guy.

Besides, I have to admit that I am totaly shipping Faye and Sven. Sven seems to have really realized that his behavior was and is reprehensible, and I could see him working hard to get Faye back. Or not.
