SleeperCylon:
Is Marten actually bothered that Dora doesn't like Toto?
It's fine if he's becoming more tolerant of popular music, but souring a relationship because somebody else doesn't like it is a little obnoxious. Especially since it bears the implication that all people who don't like popular music are just hipsters pretending not to in order to seem cool.
I hope this isn't leading to a fan-servicy Marten/Faye relationship. Just for once in a work of fiction I'd like to see the most obvious will they/won't they couple move on and get lives of their own instead of going for the fairy-tale romantic-comedy fan-pleaser ending.
QC used to assert itself against formula 'Pair these two existing characters together for fun' romances. I hope it can get back to that.
laizeohbeets:
I really don't think Marten and Faye are getting together.
Taigan:
This is Marten's second late-night-sigh (Ok, he didn't sigh this time, but still...)

Not popular enough, let's go with Satchmo.

First, as Carl points out, the song was the point. Second, if popularity is the criteria, then there's a problem. Pops has very little in the best-known stuff from his catalog that's suitable for that panel; by and large, Armstrong's most popular music is relentlessly cheerful, or at worst wistful. For every "St. James Infirmary" there seems to be several "Big Butter and Egg Man's." That could be because he was a jazz musician, not a bluesman.

but no shoulder straps or sleeves; & how comfortable are tube-tops for sleeping...?
Yeah, the preponderance of opinion & reason is clearly against Marten-Faye at this point, & has been for a few years...
But some little vestigial part of me always WANTED to see M&F together, and the primal reptile brain doesn't give up its desires just because other humans have convincing rational arguments.
[ Maybe in the far future, when QC wants to wrap everything up & finish with a bang, so to speak... (cringe) :cry: ]
...silly rabbit; now that Jeph has set up the pieces, we can draw our own ...conclusions. (& post them on 4chan, or wherever.)
