More than "NOT DORA"
Jonesy:
First Post. I don't think Marten should date anyone who works at the Coffee of Doom.
Has Marten had any real personal growth? Dora broke up with him. She took the active role, and he just followed along. He may ultimately agree that it was time to end this, but he never actually took an active role in it. Marten strikes me as too passive. He seems dissatisfied with his life but he hasn't done anything to better it. He works a job usually held by students despite having a college degree. He was unhappy in the relationship but he got dumped as opposed to confronting Dora and dumping her or at least confronting their issues. Look at Steve, he has been dumped twice and he still picks himself up and gets back to things.
I would like him to not date anyone for a while and maybe go on some strange adventure like Steve did after he broke up with Meena. I think Marten needs to go through a period of personal growth like Faye and Hannelore have.

I couldn't agree with you more. While I do think that Martin grew to love Dora he never seemed... hmmm.... to be putting much of himself into the relationship. On some levels it seemed as though Martin was programed to think "I am dating her; I must make her happy and I must not cheat on her." I wonder how much of this comes from MartinDad and MartinMom's relationship....

Again, I think you hit the nail on the head. I really want to see Martin taking a break from romance and learning to be single and happy. It's something that a lot of people need to learn how to do.... Then we can start the Martin Era of Awesome! Preferably one where he get's a job in the music industry and begins making some of his goals actually happen.

I'd argue that the government picked Steve up that one time, although I guess Steve could give them Martin's address for pickup. But that would turn this into an entirely different type of webcomic.
The Adventures of Martin! Awkward skinny indie boy by day, awkward skinny secret agent by night!

Does the coffee itself count? That would be interesting. Not as good as Z̴̞͔̦̲͈ͣ̓ͅA̸̛̼̲̲̙̦ͭ̑̋̀L̶̯͉͒̈ͨ́̚͠G̯̞͊͊̒͝O̶̺̩̹ͧ͗ͥ̍͂̾͞ but stilll.

Marten's dad, and his fiance Maurice.

Also Marten's original boss.
