WHAT? WHAT? Rational and sensible have no place in modern romantic relationships!! Where have you been? :mrgreen:
Seriously though, while it does seem like Marten didn't know what Faye was talking about when she asked him about the Toto song, his asking Dora the same question implies that he figured it out after Faye went to bed. Too bad he's in his typical no-win situation; he likes a different song than Faye, and he and Dora don't even like the same band. Oops, screwed again.
Then again, different musical tastes is no reason to break up with someone. While people do bond over similar musical tastes, I'll bet an number of you are in long-term relationships where you and your SO don't even listen to the same genre of music. Thankfully, with modern music players and headphones, that never needs to be an issue. Just blast your music out loud when your SO isn't around...

my favorite toto song is hungry like the wolf.

--- Quote from: zagraf on 26 Aug 2010, 00:31 ---I'm a little puzzled by all this talk of "favourite Toto songs." I have nothing against the band. It's just that I can remember when "Africa" and "Rosanna" first came out, and AFAIK those are the only Toto songs the average person would even have heard of, then or now. Angus, Faye and Marten might as well have used Naked Eyes, a-ha or Falco songs as a compatibility litmus test.

This.
I've actually really enjoyed this week's strips, we've seem some pretty good character interaction and a real sense of things moving forwards. I still find the choice of band baffling.
Although with regards to aha I'll confess to liking The Sun Always Shines on TV more than Take on Me, so maybe these one/two-hit-wonder bands do provide a meaningful choice after all.

It's seemed to me like things with Dora have been fizzling, especially after then meh way he reacted to her new hair, and the way she's been all serious/bossy/nag lately... Faye might realize she's over Marten, but now I think the story will be Marten not ready to let go of Faye like that...

Before today's comic, I thought you were crazy. Now, it seems you are most prescient!!
Freeeeeeeaky.
I think this is another great comic in the line of the last 3. Maybe not as "squueeeeeee kawaiiiiii" as the other 3, but still great. The fourth panel just says SO much without using any words.... man, there's just alot running through Marten's mind. Good thing he's got Steve to talk to about things. I don't think it'll make him break up with Dora, or even that their relationship is in trouble - it just means he has to go through a little introspection, a little mourning period. While it's not something one would ever tell their partner about, I think it's perfectly normal, and makes sense. There was always going to be that part of him that feelings for Faye, and that part finally got its last chance to poke out its head. Marten probably forgot it was there - but now will be his opportunity to say goodbye to it once and for all. He'll miss it - but in time, he'll learn to live without it.
no one special:
But how many of us knew that the video for "Rosanna" featured a very young Patrick Swayze?
Just learned that today. Craziness...
