Marten's armour go "crack".
It's not broken, not yet, but he's clearly not coping. I think that when Ms. Reed makes her big return, we might finally see Marten lose control... Mothers have a way of making you open up and get whatever's eating away at you out in the open. Whether it's yelling, or crying, or swearing, or whatever you need to do in order to deal with it.
Seriously: think of a time when you were on a ragged edge, stressed out, emotions boiling over like crazy... and then think what would have happened if you were alone in a room with your mother, and she could see how obviously upset you were. Nobody would be able to hold out. Mothers are very, very powerful things.
If it does play out that way, it's not going to be pleasant for Marten. It might be embarassing, he might say some things he'll regret, he might make a scene... hopefully nobody else will be a witness. I think Ms. Reed has more tact than to let anyone else see it. But the guy needs to purge those emotions. She could just help him do it.
Mad Cat:
Wha--
A nip--
HOW?
First, it's through at least two layers of clothing, and second, where her hand is, it would have to be on the side of his rib cage. Does Marten have a vestigial nipple I'm not recalling the explanation for?
Unless Tai's really referring to just discovering that one of her own nipples is now poking Marten in the shoulder... or back... depending.
iduguphergrave:
Dammit that's what I said! And I didn't even notice her hand placement was wrong for feeling a nipple. Also, Jeph's newspost kind of implies that Tai was rubbing Marten's chest. What is this I don't even
hannahsaurusrex:
I can't even laugh because of how perfectly drawn Marten's hands/face/tone is.
Maybe it's the "I can't," but damn that's hits a chord. That "I can't" is every failure I ever endured, and every time my heart got broken. This is Marten's "I'm not strong enough" and it gets me here like it did in the Incredibles.
The reason I love this comic isn't just for the art, it's because I can hear the characters' voices, and Marten's voice just broke my heart.
I know there's been speculation on what the live action movie would look like, but I wouldn't mind just a really well done voice acting session where you listen along with the comics soundtracked and all. Would Jeph's Marten be choking on his words or just breaking down?I don't know, but I love this comic.

This is Jeph trying to pull a punchline out of thin air after 4 panels of plot exposition.
