Jeph has maintained twitter radio silence for a while now. Ominous or just out partying?

akronnick · « **Reply #3 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 16:47 »

Maybe Northampton is in the midst of a zombie-apocalypse and Jeph is too busy fighting of the undead to tweet.

Won't stop him from posting the comic, though.

C'mon, Gravey, they're his only two days off a week...

the tweets usually thin out over a weekend, unless he's at a con.

iduguphergrave · « **Reply #8 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 17:52 »

But he usually tweets something, even if it's just something ridiculous followed by #buttslol. IF I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN JEPH'S LIFE MY WHOLE ROUTINE IS THROWN OFF!!!

well I guess that answers my stalker question.

TheEvilDog · « **Reply #9 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 18:05 »

I was torn between Hanners and Tai, but in the end, I split the middle and just picked the common variable, Veronica's return.

Lets face it, Marty's mom is the one person that Faye is terrified of, her reappearence is going to make the resident southern belle freak out!

ducktape · « **Reply #10 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 18:12 »

I vote for Marten trying to address some things with Dora before Veronica shows up, to mitigate Veronica's ass kicking of Dora.

iduguphergrave · « **Reply #17 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 21:39 »

Oh no, we're just scratching the surface. He hasn't lost it quite yet.

Also, how did Tai manage to feel Marty's nipple through his shirt and a hoodie? It must be freezing in the library.

Near Lurker · « **Reply #18 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 21:41 »

I'm not sure Tai's being completely fair. If Dora happens across Ms. Reed while she's in town, things will get very awkward, very fast.

And sheesh, just move your arm a bit, you big, lesbian baby. And if that hurts, while they're hard enough to feel, Marten might want to consider undershirts.

Kazukagii · « **Reply #19 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 21:45 »

Interesting, up until this point Marten has put up a brave face. Yeah he seemed depressed, but he wasn't above making a joke / engaging in banter / ect. Now we see the first crack in his facade. A shadow of breakdowns to come?

In any case I'm looking forward to the inevitable Veronica and Dora scenes.

Tergon · « **Reply #20 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 21:50 »

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 · « **Reply #21 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 21:56 »

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 · « **Reply #22 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 22:00 »

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 · « **Reply #23 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 22:01 »

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.

So, after trawling around in the wrong thread (derp) for an hour...

Well, nice to see a little light-hearted humor. Although I don't forsee any relief for Marten's worries just yet. Man, I'm starting to agree with all the "Marten will snap" posters. Dude needs to let it out, how I'm not sure. Also, it's nice to see that Tai really does care about Marten as a friend, even if she is not the most tactful person. And I think we've all been in Marten's place before: where a day (or event) is so angering/depressing/upsetting that every little thing just seems like ANOTHER load to bear. I've been there, I know that much.

We need a poll on HOW Marten will freak out, if at all. (And I think there is plenty of evidence that he will.)
-Passive? Crying, airing of emotions etc.?
-Agressive? Outbursts, shouting, maybe even breaking something? (for some reason I'm seeing a guitar smashing)
-Passive Agressive? Backhanded remarks and snide comments? Alienating himself from his friends?
-Other? ~~Hannerbang?~~ WHOOPS. WRONG THREAD. SILLY ME.

What do you guys think?

iduguphergrave · « **Reply #29 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 23:16 »

In the second panel of this comic he's already going down the passive-aggressive-alienating friends route, though he apologized once Tai called him on it. I hope the guitar-smashing doesn't happen; if he trashed his vintage guitar he'd hang himself with one of the strings afterward.

rje · « **Reply #30 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 23:19 »

Man I normally love the girl to death but geez Tai, shut up.
Haha man if I were Marten I so would have snapped at that, and been like oh you wanna see me be a dick? YOU WANNA SEE ME BE A DICK, OH I AIN'T EVEN STARTED YET HONEY
No I know she cares a lot, obviously, from the fourth panel but her blase' attitude (this is twice now, in my opinion) towards how much he should or should not be reacting/feeling is gettin on my nerrrrves. And I know probably why it exists but still, ghhh shut uuuup. Tact! Look it up! You're in the perfect place.

Okay anyway. I love the art here, Marten's face - Jeph's getting really good at showing emotions in eyes.
And man he is close...I could hear his voice crack in my mind.

Pretty much what I was wondering. Something along the lines of...

"Did I miss a comic about Marten's superfluous third nipple on his rib cage?"

Some folks just can't do tact, and have no idea of how to handle someone who is upset. We suck at it, and use humour because it's all we know how to do. I think the nipple this was just an awkward moment for both. certainly was unexpected.
On that note..I never thought of the"Martin being jealous of his mother's sex appeal" angle. Now I wonder. I would like to see how that develops.
I refuse to speculate on where that phantom nipple is.

And about the nipple, I guess Jeph had a hard time finding a good punchline today or something.

He even felt the need to kinda defend it in the text below the comic ...

Initially I thought it was Tai's nipple that got caught or something. Not sure if there's anything in the comic that mentions it either way, but I keep assuming Tai has pierced nipples (I mean, she's got her clit pierced, it's obviously not a taboo area).

As a guy, I'm generally not aware of my nipples unless it's cold and I'm doing something that causes friction, like running. Maybe Marten's been exposed to hormones in those free pastries and they're overly sensitive.

Mustakyy · « **Reply #49 on:** 06 Dec 2010, 02:14 »

So, the walls of Ft. Cool have finally begun to crack.

And somehow, i get the feeling that the results could be quite dramatic. Despite the chances of even more drama, he seriously needs to vent off some pressure, because it seems that the armor of calm and cool just aint doing its job. How, that's something beyond my imagination. But as we can see, the act of cool (and indifference) seems to crumbling bit by bit, and seriously, the results are just simply heartbreaking. From being snide lil bugger (think that's the first time Marten being kind of dick to his friends directly?) to almost breaking down, choking on his words. Poor bastard.

As for Tai being tactless, I think she just cant help it. She has same kind of worryfree attitude towards life as Marten (used to have), but instead of going "huh buh duh wha", she just blurts out her opinions, wether they were appropriate or not. I think she truly shows concern towards him, but, in my opinion, she just doesn't understand the scale of the situation at hand. I mean sure, she's had her fair share of sucky relationships and drama, but still, it seems that she's always succeeded in not letting the drama bring her down, but to see it as a minor inconvenience. Her calling on Marten being a dick kinda shows that she cares for him, because is she wouldn't care, her response could be something like "pssh, whatever, be a dick and alienate yourself from your friends". Lastly, the comforting hug was definetly "d'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaw"-moment, but GOD DAMN, the "nipplegate" was CREEPY. *shudder*

Im SO waiting to see how this is going to go.... Thou i have a feeling, based on Jeph's tweets, that he's gonna have one -hell- of a hangover
