So about Faye and Marten

If you're meaning they're bland, in that they don't go out on dates, that's probably due to Jeph not wanting to draw the same characters over and over and over again. He has shown a certain disliking to drawing the same characters over and over and over again on a mini-arc.

I mean, they do like each other, but there's no real conflict, challenge, or development between the two and the only thing they really have in common is their music. Granted, Jeph hasn't put a lot of focus on the two (actually, I'm not really sure where he's going at this point), but from what I've seen of their general mannerisms, Marten is still a wishy-washy Indie dork while Dora is still a flirtatious sweetheart. It's kind of a neutral partnership aside from the fact that they fuck every now and then.
I just feel that Marten needs more of a challenge since he's too closely oriented to his comfort zone to change or progress, and I think Faye could be the spice he needs.
LTK:
Marten and Faye getting together would be interesting. Not that I see it happening.

Marten and Dora dont share the same taste in music... Where did that come from... In deed, as i recall Dora once said the music was one area she felt she would never be able to 'share' with Marten.
Basicaly i dont get why some are suggesting the two characters are too 'same-y' for the relationship to last. Heck, its about as good as a relationship can get so far as i can tell. I wouldn't want to be changing it any time soon (or at all). In fact, only the whole slow pasage of time in-comic is keeping from wondering WHY it isnt progressing (remember, in comic time they've only been together for, what, a couple of months?).
Basicaly I dont see a Marten/Faye hook-up happening anytime soon, or at all really, and i wouldnt really want to either.

XD how clinical.
but to get to the subject,
i was holding it out for faye and marten for a good minute, but in the back of my mind i was rooting for dora. and once faye explained how she felt to marten, i KNEW it was coming eventually. it was a little sooner than i expected, but i am fairly satisfied with their relationship.
i mean, not every webcomic is anders loves maria (lots of romance-drama)
it is fairly nice to see a functional couple.

Maybe IRL or some reality TV show. It doesn't emit the same vibe in a comic, especially one with a plotline that has no central focus.

Huh, that rings a bell. But I do recall the two of them going to concerts and whatnot, so it could just be their strong affinity with music.
Either way, I'm not a big fan of Marten and Dora.
