Okay, that's a first for me. Anyways...

Good to see Marten is self conscious enough to know he is a pushover. That's character develoment here.

About the poll: since I do not know the etiquette in those cases, I leave the poll to the iniative of a better-versed forum dweller.

IDK, he should find someone who is mellow and not too dominating, and Delilah sort of fits the bill. I don't think it will happen, though.

Could be wrong, but from what little we have seen of Delilah I didn't get the feeling she was interested in Martin.

I agree. If Marten tries to hit on her, it might easily turn out to be Space Sergeant all over again for him.

I can't agree with that. Marten need someone who is willing and able to give him some space. Otherwise he'll erase himself completely, and resent both himself and his partner.

I think all of you interpret too much into these comics. So far there hasn't even been a hint that there should be anything between Delilah and Marten or that there will be.

All these speculations make me uneasy.

Except she prefers men who can bench press her.  Marten would be hard pressed to bench a case of 24.

I agree with Lubricus. Marten's already HAD a dom for most of his life -- his mother -- and IMHO she's the reason he's so passive in the first place. He needs someone much mellower, but I don't think Delilah is right for him either, and she doesn't seem interested anyway.

Swingseat girl is the only other girl at the party we've seen so far but from what we've seen of her in 2617 she seems somewhat reserved or timid

Hm. Seems like Marten doesn't like the thought that Tai may think she owes Marten. Or the thought that the party may have simply been Mission: Get Marten Laid. One of the two, or possibly both.

I think he was just surprised that she was so straightforward about it. Also i think he's gonna feel pressured now and be nervous, but hopefully get over it. I think swingseat girl is a good choice, because she seems to be a quieter, more reserved person that marten might actually be able to approach. Also, as we noted last week, she was left out of introductions. Maybe Mr. Jemphs decided that so he would have an open. Now he can go up and say "hey, i didn't get your name" or something.

Yeah, when Tai first invited him to this party, Marten asked "So I'd be going specifically to find someone to hook up with?", and Tai responded "You'd be GOING to have FUN. If you meet someone, awesome! If not, you still had a good time." So part of his surprise may have been that he accepted what Tai said at face value, and now he's wondering if she really is just trying to get him laid.

Yes, this.

But he's so passive that he wouldn't know how to be in a relationship with another passive person. Literally nothing would progress.

Marten is who he is. He's quite happy to let the partner run things (dora, assbutt), up until they do or say something stupid. He's literally not equipped to be the driver in a relationship.

Just because he's passive doesn't mean he needs to be with an autocrat. There are people who are good at creating a safe space for their partner to voice their wants and needs, and then taking initiative with those wants and needs in mind.

Jeph's habit of drawing a bonercat when he took a break was the reason for his accounts being closed at not one but two (possibly even three?) streaming services that he used to use so that we could watch him drawing.  Bonercat corrupts the nation by its very existence, in case you didn't know; and now he's put it in the main comic!

To me, it actually looked like Hanners... Feel free to correct me, though. It does seem a bit out of character - although one probably shouldn't interpret too much into filler comics.
