More than "NOT DORA"
Is it cold in here?:
Marten seems to have some shyness and foot-in-mouth problems when it comes to the ladies. Consider strips 3-4, or his attempt to pick up Genevieve (though admittedly that one wasn't wholehearted).
Bass Lizard:
Marten's just too shy period. For a guy who has a mom in the sex industry, Marten is easily the most inhibited guy ever. He's got to way losen up. When was the last time he's ever goofed off with some guy friends of his? And by guy friends, I mean his only guy friend. I agree with neither Marten or ( as hot as DoraXTai is. sigh) Doar should be dating anyone right now. And hook-ups don't really seem like either of there styles. But some bonding with same-gender friends seems to be in order.
Sorflakne:
I refrained from posting something earlier, but after reading the new posts since I last looked at this, I'm just gonna ask one thing:
Why can't Marten just stay single for awhile? Or hell, why can't he just stay single for the rest of the comic?
Ok, that was two things, but the point stands in that why does he have to get back in a relationship with someone so soon, regardless of who it is? Maybe it would be better if he stayed single. Think about it: Of the main cast girls currently in the comic, can you honestly see him hooking up with one of them. No, ask yourself before you answer.
-Faye? She's with Angus, and still has her issues she's working on.
-Dora? No. Doesn't need to be explained.
-Marigold? While single, she's more than likely still burned over Angus rejecting her. And her and Dale's 'relationship' works as it is. There's no need for a third wheel.
-Hanners? She's a sweet girl and has made a huge leap in character development ever since she was introduced (wtb her original hairstyle back pl0x), but if you sit down and think about it, she and Marten would never work out. I'm sorry, I just can't see them working out.
-Tai? It'd be more funny than anything, but the chances of it are zero.
-Momo? She's pretty much set on Sven. (ok, Pintsize made me put her on the list)
pwhodges:
Also, people sometimes forget how slowly the comic moves; if it takes Marten a month or so to decide how to proceed (which is quick enough after being dumped, in all honesty), that could be the better part of a year in our time.
Is it cold in here?:
Agreed about Marten staying single. There's only one person who might even be suitable and she may be too speculative to mention, in addition to not being a regular.
Marten hasn't been too successful in going out and finding romantic partners in our observation, and according to the conversations with Steve it's a long-running problem.
Time off from worrying about women might be good for him: a chance to take stock, pause and reflect.
