I stand by my preferred prediction that Delilah and Marten will just have a nice conversation in which she'll give him some insightful outsider's perspective.

Marten swings... and misses.

Monday's page will be no 2626.

I...don't get it.

In the page 2626,
If Marten's still alive
If Delilah can survive,
They may find...

Same time solidifying a platonic friendship with someone who has no connection to his love life in any way

Loki · « **Reply #11 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 13:18 »

You got it backwards: in order to swing, Marten needs to be in a relationship first!

*puts a collar in the pun jar*

Nepiophage · « **Reply #12 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 13:27 »

Something else - this week will be Dale and Marigold's first date, while we wonder about Marten and Delilah.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #13 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 13:37 »

They've already had their first date

Loki · « **Reply #14 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 13:40 »

Haven't seen them eat anything together, much less dates.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #15 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 13:44 »

I'd argue that their anime night was their first date. Who said a date had to have food? (Also they have eaten together, but I wouldn't consider THAT a date)

That could justifiably called "hanging out together" since the intent was only to watch anime at her house. This led to them wanting to go out with each other, but it wasn't an actual date yet.

An actual date.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #18 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 14:27 »

Semantics, I say. A date can be a "getting to know you" encounter. And

at Loki. (I've never actually eaten a date, I wonder how they taste)

DrBear · « **Reply #19 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 14:40 »

I'm just going off the board because we haven't had any Faye-Angus news recently...

(maybe Jeph is saving them to go against @damnyouwillis in the porn department?)

David Willis, creator of the webcomics Shortpacked, Duming of Age, It's Walky (et al?) has recently created canon porn of DoA characters. (Check the Webcomics thread in, err, CLICK, I think? I keep going there via my "recent posts" link.)
Incidentally, if the characters are minors, reading those extra comics may qualify as possession of child pornography in some jurisdictions.

cesium133 · « **Reply #22 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 15:12 »

I was going to say that presumably if they're college students then they're not minors, but then I remembered that I was 17 when I started college.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #23 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 15:20 »

Also it'd probably have to specifically say that they were minors. Also do you mean canon as in the comic, or "canon" as in Willis said it was canon, but it was off to the side?

Yes. He put the full depiction of the event at Slipshine, but he's included some panels from it as a couple of strips in the comic.

bhtooefr · « **Reply #25 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 18:29 »

Damn it, Marten.

ankhtahr · « **Reply #26 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 18:37 »

Damn. Now that's just ridiculous.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #27 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 18:41 »

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang, that's cold, Delilah. I mean, understandable, but yeah. But who knows? MORE TOMORROW!

Looks like I guessed correctly.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #29 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 18:49 »

Eh...not quite. I'm pretty sure that option was specifically referring to swing girl. Nice try, though

LookingIn · « **Reply #30 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 19:04 »

I can't wait to see what her reason for shooting him down is- I hope it's something simple like she has a boyfriend or she is a lesbian

~~mustang6172~~ · « **Reply #31 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 19:08 »

I didn't have a problem when Marigold tried to leverage Momo's chassis, but this is soliciting prostitution.

I feel like I should save this comic to preserve its badness in the event Jeph wants to "fix" it.

riccostar · « **Reply #32 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 19:20 »

Looks like our faith in Marten was terribly misplaced

He tried, but it looks like he'll be going home empty handed. Also, that seemed a little bit harsh of Delilah...

Method of Madness · « **Reply #33 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 19:23 »

soliciting prostitution

Really more of a bad pickup line than anything of that sort.

Ricco, I don't suppose we know that he failed entirely, hopefully tomorrow they'll at the very least talk.

riccostar · « **Reply #34 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 19:28 »

Fair point, if we go back to zen Marten things may well turn out happily.

... or she just isn't interested in Marten? Its not like she needs a reason.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #36 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 19:49 »

A reason to not be interested? No, she doesn't need one. A reason to be amused that he is? Yeah, she kinda does.

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #37 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 19:59 »

He's joked about this sort of thing before.

His reaction doesn't seem to be the same as that time though, almost surprise at her laugh instead of expecting a laugh like he got out of Faye that time...

This. And to be honest, Marten didn't really want makeouts with Delilah. He just wanted a good time to forget his troubles. Besides she might bat for the other team.

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #40 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 21:05 »

*wince* oooh, damn, burned AND she laughed. That's gotta be some good scoring for this round of competition... let's go to the Judges... and unbelievable! A perfect 10 across the board! Ladies and gentlemen we haven't seen a strike out like that in the history of these games!

Ugh, Marten, if someone wants to make out with you, he/she will usually give you a physical hint at some point in the evening! Like Dora did.

That strip was seriously painful to read.

St.Clair · « **Reply #44 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 21:34 »

Smooooooth.

If so, why did Tai not warn him?

Shjade · « **Reply #49 on:** 26 Jan 2014, 21:56 »

Honestly, I'd be very, very surprised if Marten was being serious. It's just such a...not-Marten thing to do.
