Damn you Rolo!

So going online I was talking to Rolo and complaining that..
a. I was really ill so couldn't leave to do anything
b. I was poor so couldn't afford to go out
c. I was bored- see the first two Reasons why I couldn't do anything about it..

SooOoO... Being the Amazing Girlie she is she gave me this Link..

okie, I know it sounds, well, Questionable but it is a really funny, clever web comic.. Characters:
Marten Reed Our titular hero, only he's not really titular and he's not really a hero. He lives with Faye and Pintsize. He's passive and doubtful of himself by nature, but he's working on it. Marten recently lost his job as an Office Bitch and is now employed at the Smif College Library. He likes mopey indie rock. He plays in a band with Nat and Amir. Dates Dora Faye Whitaker Faye lives with Marten and Pintsize, but is originally from Savannah, Georgia. She has severe psychological issues stemming from a traumatic incident in her past (see story arc starting at strip #500 for the full story). Faye is usually snarky, sometimes violent, and extremely protective of Marten. Faye gots issues. Dora Bianchi Dora is the Owner/Operator of Coffee of Doom, the coffee shop where Faye and Raven currently work and where Marten spends most of his free time. She owns a pet cat named Mieville. Dora is a somewhat-reformed goth who retains a yen for dark clothing and angry music. She's assertive and confident, yet contains an inner core of self-doubt and anxiety. Dora is frequently too nice for her own good. Pintsize Pintsize is an AnthroPC- basically a walking, talking computer with a personality. He enjoys eating cake mix and other unhealthy things, and is a frequent source of mischief and mayhem. He has a weakness against duct tape, and lives with Marten and Faye. Raven Raven is an old acquaintance of Dora's who used to be goth but is now sort of trendy/emo/whatever. It is uncertain whether Raven is a total dimwit or simply a little slow on the uptake. It is also possible that this is an act and she is far smarter than she appears. Hannelore Ellicott-Chatham Hannelore is the slightly creepy upstairs neighbor of Marten and Faye. She has severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Counts things for a living. She repeatedly falls asleep on Marten's couch, but otherwise she's a chronic insomniac. She may or may not be stalking Marten. Tai Marten's coworker/boss at the Smif College library. Evidently a lesbian and evidently perfectly happy to make out with multiple ladies at once, Tai's love life is...complicated. She's a huge fan of Jimbo's books
Penelope Gaines
Former bookstore employee shanghaid into working at Coffee of Doom by Dora and Faye. Easily bullied but can display unexpected sass when provoked. May or may not be Pizza Girl's secret identity. Winslow Hannelore's Apple AnthroPC model- basically an overgrown, sentient iPod. Winslow means well but is very naive and prone to corruption by Pintsize Natasha Natasha likes hardcore and metal. Currently living with Ellen, she is presumably also in college. Natasha is bad at making personal decisions as related to her hygiene and hairstyling. She has an undetermined number of tattoos and body piercings. Currently dating Amir and in a band with Amir and Marten. Amir Afridi Amir was kicked in the face by Natasha at a Converge show. They are currently dating and in a band with Marten Sven Bianchi Sven is Dora's older brother. He makes his living writing awful songs for country singers. Sven is also something of a ladies' man. Very tall and skinny. Raven wants in his pants. Jimbo Jimbo is a former construction worker turned successful romance novelist. He's the drinking buddy of Marten and Steve (and anyone else who may happen to be around). Excellent choice in facial hair.
Anyway, here is a few of my Favourite strips from the Site:
