God, this comic is so smart. It would be so easy for you to slip into cutesy shipping cliches with these two, but instead you're really working hard to make them feel like a real couple with real problems. Seeing Maud use the word "abusive" is jarring because in so many other shipping stories, that type of behavior is played for laughs or treated as cute, even though it's really not okay. You're taking a much more mature approach to this sort of thing, all while keeping it cute and funny. Just fantastic work.
