What do you think will happen with The Norm?

Here’s a piece of the FAQ from the web site http://www.thenorm.com/
The strip

Q: I knew that we were connecting with your work when we spent ten minutes discussing whether Reine and Norm should get married . . . what exactly is their relationship anyway???
A: The backstory is Norm and Reine knew each other in college. Best of times, best of friends. They may not be exactly alike, but most friends aren’t. Just look at Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, Clinton and Lewinsky (okay, this joke is getting old but I still chuckle at it).

Q: How on Earth do you pronounce Reine’s name?
A: It’s French for queen. The French pronounce it “wren.” Reine doesn’t, nor do her parents. The pronounce it “reNAY.”

Sooo… Will they or won’t they? Will they get married, like Dagwood and Blondie did? Or do you think the semi-romance will just drag on for years like Cathy and her beaux?

I’m pulling for Norm and Reine. I’m in love with my own (female) best friend, but I know she could never see me “that way.” I want Norm to succeed where I never will.

They’ll get married for sure.

Lots of comics these days have characters grow and change, like Baby Blues and For Better or Worse. Even Family Circus bumped off Gramps, despite the kids staying the same age.
