Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT 30 August- 3 September 2010
Heliphyneau:
Ha! LET THE MARTEN/SVEN OTP SLASH COMMENCE! And yes, I know that was already in a guest comic. It still amuses me.

It's still there, out of frame, but I wanted to see it too. :cry: Randomly, I sort of want to see what kind of footwear Marten scrounged up for his walk.
--- Quote from: Tergon on 02 Sep 2010, 21:45 ---I *dare* Marten to find someone who can give worse advice on how to deal with an angry lady. I would go to Yelling Bird before I went to Sven. I would go to the Shame Orb before I went to Sven. Shelby's sole reaction to women is to punch them over the horizon, and I would take SHELBY'S advice over that of Sven.
--- End quote ---
Agreed. Hell, he could have dragged Pintsize with him and gotten better advice. Not GOOD advice, but better. Ah well, at least Marten's venting. We don't generally get to see thought bubbles in QC, so the inner dialog thing might not have worked.
--- Quote from: Moxie on 02 Sep 2010, 21:49 ---I think that, as self-absorbed as he his, he would know at least a little bit to give Marten some food for thought.
--- End quote ---
Sven might have some insights, depending on whether he was paying attention, then and now. If Marten's lucky, Sven will have more to say than "Yup, Dora's crazy, always has been -- now let's talk more about boobs." Speculation may begin on whether someone else overhears Sven saying something "pithy" about Marten finally getting in Faye's pants and misinterprets (Angus directly? or Marigold?).

--- Quote from: Moxie on 02 Sep 2010, 21:49 ---Meanwhile...not certain I'm believing this Sven longing for Faye. He's never particularly seemed the sort to completely fall apart over a girl...but now that I think about it, if Faye's really the only one who ever dumped him, when he wasn't "done with her"/"ready to move on"/whatever it is he does, I suppose he would obsess over her. At least he's obviously not gone to the stalker-stage though, as he apparently doesn't know about Angus.
--- End quote ---
In this instance, I read that as less longing for Faye and much more longing for Faye's boobs. That being said, Jeph has really been putting out some great strips in the last month or so, but the end of this one really left me laughing...and I still giggle whenever I think about it. I view it as "classic QC." Serious, serious, serious, BOOB JOKE!

--- End quote ---
I agree that he doesn't know the latest developments but he is aware of Angus.
--- End quote ---
Ah, yeah, thanks for pointing that out. :laugh: I meant the latest developments but my terribly unclear wording certainly didn't make that obvious.

Aw dang, I'll bet you're right about that pithy remark making it in. It'd fit well with the idea that Angus goes to CoD the next day to see Faye and only gets some Dora rages (especially if Marigold was the one who overheard and he didn't wanna believe her)...but now it seems like there might not be any Dora rages at work after all. Maybe though. If she still really wants to believe she's right, even after Faye's attempt to set her straight, she might rage about that.

Hahaha, you make an excellent point! And true, I definitely get that "classic QC" vibe as well :) It's like I said - I hope Jeph just wanted to joke and definitely got one that felt right, but we do see some insight from Sven later, 'cause I think he has some.
Carl-E:
[sigh]
Same park bench, different universe...
Akima:
And Sven demonstrates why he's been included in DQ*'s "Douche Of The Year" short-list for the last five years. I mean, with Marten "talking about the relationship" like that, Sven's probably mentally putting him in a dress, as well as not listening to him...
*Douchebag Quarterly, what else?
