I found today's comic (#1739) quite sad

(1/16) > >>

lunchmeat:
Here I sit, at work, in front of my monitor, and my keyboard's soaked in tears.

Nah, but really...I know that Marten's probably just confused about Faye's earlier question in the last panel, but it really gives the impression that he's just realized what he's missed, or something. Like in a bad movie where the guy marries the girl, but then later realizes through a multitude of minutiae that she's not the right girl. I'd feel pretty bad for Marten if he wasn't a cartoon.

That's right, I discriminate against cartoons. *nods* Yeah.

Harun:
Jeph's newspost made me sadder. I don't know if he knew it or not when he wrote it, but apparently Nergal (Behemoth frontman) has leukemia?! I heard about it a day or two ago and it bummed me out. Awesome frontman, awesome live band, hope he recovers.

Surgoshan:
Everybody has relationship doubts.  It's about time they were Marten's instead of Dora's.

Tergon:
That's true.  Marten has been pretty freakishly sane about all the drama that goes on in the QC-niverse.  At most when shit goes down he reacts with mild surprise - we've almost NEVER seen him sad, and I think the closest we've ever come to seeing him get angry about something was when he decked that monk with a frying pan.  And even then he seemed more bitter than furious.

I mean, yes, I get that he's a kind, caring, non-confrontational guy.  I know people like that themselves.  But in his own way Marty has a shell that's just as impenetrable as Faye.  Where she's a smartass bitch, he's the understanding guidance councellor.  No anger, no resentment, just kind understanding and a hug when you need it, no matter how much shit other people seem to dump on him.

Mayhap in the coming arc we're going to see past that armour of his a bit.

jwhouk:
It's pretty heavy armor, I'm betting.

I mean, you know what kind of crap you get when your mom's a professional (and well-known) dominatrix and your dad's gay?
