I'm excited for the new Tai/Veronica relationship that will inevitably happen.
themacnut:
Wonder whether Marten's mom came running after things went south with Marten's previous gf (the one he moved across the country for). If not, why is she coming now? If yes, well, damn why can't she leave the man alone to handle his pain the way a grown man usually does?
Namely, get completely wasted, get in a barfight, and either wake up in an alley not remembering how he got there, or screw the first girl that looks at him sideways, depending on how drunk he gets. Or, he could maybe get some therapy or spend a few nights alone in his room crying himself to sleep (most likely both).

I suppose I'm alone in not being clear why this is the 'straw' for Marten. I mean, yes, it would be for me, but my mother's…special. Veronica, for all her uniqueness, doesn't strike me as such.

Given that Dora's father 1044 and Dora 1047 are such big "fans" of Marten's Mom, I am not surprised this would be a sore point. Add Tai's behavior around Dora and it's no wonder he's snappy.
And as a side note Matsumi Max has four nipples. Warning GIS is probably NSFW.

That's a good point, esp. as it would have made more sense for Marten to go back to the west coast (instead of MartenMom buying a round-trip ticket for herself she could have bought a one-way ticket for Marten)
Maybe MartedDad came through town and took Marten on a skiing trip with Dad2DadHarder.
Now MartenMom wants her chance at playing rescue.

Either that or Tai's touch is well tuned to sense nipples. I was gonna say `Tai's fingers', but it looks like it's her forearm that hit the spot.

Exactly! Reading the earlier posts, I was like "Do you guys not have nerve endings in your arms?" That would be disquieting indeed. (OMG FLOATING HANDS.) And regarding Marten being able to feel that . . . I will just say that nipple sensitivity varies wildly from person to person. Yes, including guys. Pros and cons in all cases.

I can't say I'm completely "clear" on why either, since I'm waiting for what Jeph depicts for us, but I would not be surprised to discover that Ms. Reed is rather . . . controlling. There are reasons one has an aptitude for certain things, and while his mom has seemed mature enough when she previously visited, she was certainly willing to swoop in and make decisions for Marten (example: calling him in sick for work). Whatever she ends up doing, Marten clearly doesn't want to deal with her, and the very fact that she bought her plane tickets while he was still talking to her on the phone shows that she didn't consider the possibility that he might not want her there (or if she did consider that, she dismissed it as unimportant), so she's already making decisions without asking for his input, pre-emptively dismissing his opinion as irrelevant. This behavior is among the things that will push Marten's buttons. Poor guy is in for a bumpy ride, but it could result in a catharsis he needs.
I voted for 'Crying on Jimbo's shoulder' because even non-shipped, it's hilariously maudlin. :-D The character expressions continue to be excellent, too, and the Worry Hat must be fun to draw! (How long before the Worry Hat is available for purchase at Topatoco?)
