Another poll selection should be....
Waiting for the server to reboot after everyone crashed it while waiting for Jeph to post the next comic.

So that was what the goat was?

[Monkey Says Yes]

Oh god, Jeph, you broke the forum again.

I love it!  This kind of writing is what keeps me coming back to QC.  Very nice, sir!

[Kyrendis]

I... but.. I was here two hours ago an d it was on page 22....
 

Right, I'm getting out of here before the forum collapses into some kind of angst singularity.

o. Duh.

[ecuadorche]

I created an account just to give my one idea about this current arc

Someone in a previous page mentioned marten going away to see his mom or dad to get away if they do break up for sure, assuming marten is not his usual submissive self and just goes with what Dora wants.
But what I imagine happening is Marten goes away visits his mom she hears of how he got his heart broken and like she says to Faye in their dinner meeting do things that would make Bosch shit his breeches.

Lol i doubt it would actually happen but that comment on how marten would go away just made me think of Fayes and Veronica's meeting at the restaurant

Would her threat apply to Dora? Does she know about Dora? What of Doras parents might they come in at some point?

Again i seriously doubt the above but i think i would like to see those characters again

quote tunnel woooo!


seriously though, i'm really sad for this.....

[Skelepunk]

Sorry about that Tbone, I got carried away.

[tbones]

Sorry about that Tbone, I got carried away.

haha, it's ok! it was fun!

I said i was sad 'cause Dora and Marten are (apparently) breaking up, not because the quote tunel!

[Near Lurker]

Oh, and rather belatedly... wow, Marten.  Did you really not see how that was exactly the wrong thing to say at this moment?

[Melauren]

Running away is NEVER the answer.

Unless you're being chased by a man with a knife.

nah the answer would be a gun.

"And if that don't work... use more gun."

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MoreDakka

didn't know about "more dakka" - I only picked up on the TF2 reference

[MightionNY]

I read through over twenty pages looking for one word that could make the next few weeks really, REALLY interesting, and didn't see it, so I will post four words to give people something to think about.

Veronica comes to town.

Discuss.

[Rusty]

I can't believe I'm still sad about this. I was thinking about it all day long. Even my boss asked me what was wrong.
 
My Boss: Hey. You look sad. Is there something wrong?
Me: Marten and Dora broke up this morning.
My Boss:...Do I know them?
Me: No. They're not real people. *goes back to cooking*
My Boss:...Okay. *walks away*

I mean, honestly, it's probably for the best and all but they had been together for 2/3 of the whole of QC and it's just...I keep seeing Marten's face in the last panel in my head. It's haunts me. He just looks so devastated.

And I'll say this again because it can't be said enough--please, please, please don't let this all be a set up for future Marten/Faye. Do NOT want.

Yeah it's been a while in OUR time, but in QC time it's been what, 6 months? Atleast less than a year.

actually, its been a while look at Doras blonde hair in some of the comics a couple moinths back- the amount that it grew(albeit overnight) suggests at least 4-5 months right there, at least. unless she has freakishly fast growing hair...

[cosmictruffle]

Honestly, I really hope they don't get back together. I like both Dora and Marten and I am sad that they broke up, but the strip needed something new. Their relationship was getting stale.

[TheMusicalVito]

Marten is going to kiss Faye.

No, really. Just watch. 1800.

[AnAverageWriter]

Marten is going to kiss Faye.
No, really. Just watch. 1800.

I'm holding out hope for a Marten/Marigold hookup.

[Tobimaro]

holy balls, how _is_ Faye going to handle this?

Dora's life could be in danger from something other than her own hand...

I could see Faye quitting. I could see Dora firing her.

I could see Marten lying in a pool of blood with a bullet in his brain, but it isn't very likely.

Oh, Jeph, you magnificent bastard!

Dora leaving the apartment should quell the awkwardness of the current situation.  But Faye will quit before Dora can fire her.

And Jeph, well played, sir!  I salute you with a Psyduck!

People:

Stand by for a new wave of comments. The comic is being finished as I type.

[TheMusicalVito]

My prediction is a Marten/Faye in the apartment comic.

[TheMusicalVito]

IT'S DONE.

[TheMusicalVito]

They're both sick of her crap. OH BOY.

[akronnick]

click.

[Penquin47]

...Wow.

[azurefirem]

Marten's just making me go :\ irl now. He looks pretty heartbroken. Dunno, though, at least he didn't go for Faye -- that would have been fairly rude (to Dora) in light of the situation. I think he just needs some alone time to sort everything out, but I honestly wish he would've stood up for himself and told Dora no and made her get therapy. It'll be interesting to see what happens next, though.

[knucklesandgyros]

Went in with an explosion, went out with a click....

[ElvisRevenge]

And there it is. Not much else you can say.

Interesting he said it was mutual, don't know if that's how he really sees it, but whatever gets him through the night.

Awesomely written here. Short, simple, but very VERY effective.

We might not have seen what happened after she broke up with him. He might have stayed and talked some.

No, wait. Nothing is going to happen, is it. I had as lief not be as live to be...

[nockiemommy]

I quite like the fact that they're both sick of her crap, even has my inner-Psyduck gets a little sad.

[Superkid11]

... god DAMNIT. ;___;

And Azure, if that kind of thing is going to happen it's best if it happens while she's single.

[vforvancouver]

And next Monday (our time):
Sven will put some sense in her sister's head. Even if that means hitting her with a rolled magazine again. And again. And again. And my head suddenly hurts.  

[Soluzar]

Ohh yeah. At least now, no matter what else happens the comic is worth reading. I was genuinely having my doubts. Might not go the way I want it to, but at least Marten won't be dating Dora anymore. My prediction for Monday.

Tai: Hey, Marten! Ready for another non-stop day of excitement(!) at the library?
Marten: ... I guess...
Tai: Why you looking so glum today?
Marten: Ohh, it's just... Dora and I broke up.
Tai: Oh man, I'm so sorry...
Marten: Thanks, but... it would be more sincere if you could STOP GRINNING.
Tai: ...I can't help it! Dora is finally single again!

[Irenfrea]

And the fat lady sung.

I feel sorry for Marten, but it's going to be better for him.

Then cut to Tai and Dora making out? *hopeful*

[sidpatt]

To all you infernal Marten/Faye people, that's a LOCKING click. Don't get any ideas.

So he didn't fight it, which I expected. This isn't exactly the "moping" I would have envisioned, either, and I think he actually, at least in the walk over from Sven's to his place, made his peace (although not entirely, rather quickly) with what he must have seen coming. A fair, in-character reaction.

Bravo, Jeph.

And there it is. Not much else you can say.

Interesting he said it was mutual, don't know if that's how he really sees it, but whatever gets him through the night.

Awesomely written here. Short, simple, but very VERY effective.

Fairly sure he sees it as mutual. His look on 1799's last panel was "Well, fuck, I can't believe she's pulling this shit..."

And next Monday (our time):
Sven will put some sense in her sister's head. Even if that means hitting her with a rolled magazine again. And again. And again. And my head suddenly hurts.  

I doubt Dora's getting anything talked into her head for a while. She made her bed and shat all over it.

No he won't. It's over, dude.

And this isn't necessarily directed to you specifically. CAN WE ALL JUST AGREE THAT THIS IS THE END?

Well. At least Marten keeps getting good closing lines in the Faye comics.

[Northeman]

Well. That is very likely that. Wonder what happens next.

I'd say that this meme is seriously getting old, but that's probably going to trigger a bunch of idiots swarming in and overdoing it just to be annoying.

When I was watching Jeph draw the comic (I came into the stream at the last two panels), I thought Marten was talking to Angus. I'd like to see Angus somehow get involved.

[Irenfrea]

From Jeph's Twitter

I promise jokes and happiness will return to QC soon. Relatively soon, anyway.

 

[Tergon]

I'm guessing that judging by the shot of Faye looking sadly at the closed door, next week might see QC's third door smashing entry comic.  Just depends who Faye's going to smash her way in on, Dora or Marten... or possibly someone else.  Maybe Angus so she can try to get away from all the Hella-hella Drama?

Either way, this is some excellent storytelling.  I won't quote-salad up all the people who've made good points before me, but I will say I agree that Marten was too smart to really try to argue with Dora - not weak or spineless, just smart, because she wasn't going to be convinced otherwise at the moment.  And I also think it's nothing short of stupid to suggest that Dora, or CoD, will be leaving the comic any time soon.  But this will shake things up a lot and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Also as a final note, this is some great characterisation on the part of Marten.  He's being incredibly, well, human right now, and I guess I'm finally getting that long-standing wish to peek under all his Nice Guy Armour.  I just feel bad for wishing for it, because damn, this is some sad stuff for the poor guy.
