>Why did Faye get like fatter/bigger with a lesbian haircut?Jeph tries to update his characters' fashion to what he thinks is modern. Years ago there was actually a small story arc about Faye considering buying a pleated skirt to "modernize" her clothing.
>Why was there like a robot thing that Faye was dating or something?Dora fired Faye from the coffee shop for getting drunk while working, and Faye got a job repairing robots in an underground robot fighting ring. The robot Faye is dating is named Bubbles, who also worked for the fighting ring. The two of them now run a legit robot repair business, they fell in love during all of this.
>What ever happened to the coffee shop ownerDora. She's literally a side character now. She shows up every couple of hundred strips to aggravate about how silly everyone is acting. I'm fuzzy on the ages of the characters in this strip, but Jeph writes Dora like she's in her mid 40s, and I'm pretty sure she's not SUPPOSED to be that old.
>Whatever happened to the blonde girl with the phobiasHannelore. I'm actually going to give Jeph a modicum of credit here, because he wrote her out of the script once he realized he was out of ideas with her character, event though it was done haphazardly and immediately after he set up a story arc with Winslow that he just up and gave up on. But at least he didn't do with Hannelore what he did with Dora.
>Why are there robots?If you want to take Jeph at his word, he says they are more interesting to write for than the human characters.
