Bastion:
Jeph's art is definitely improving by leaps and bounds these days. Also, Ms. Vance is awesome for offering to kill Dora, even though I like Dora I like her less for dumping Marten.

I'd like to see a murder or serious injury in this comic, myself (kind of lacking in my webcomic gore, as Dr McNinja has been really slow lately).

Yeah i think i heard in the trailers but when i watched here, but i saw the translated version (sic), and when they mention it, they said "trabajo húmedo", something that sounds more like "moist job". I think i almost died while chocking on my laughter (<-- does that makes sense???)

Moist job!? And it does make sense because I am choking on my laughter right now. The cubicle dweller next to me already thinks I'm nuts, now it sounds like an invisible man is strangling me. Sounds like something right out of the english subtitles from a foreign bootleg.
BTW, you haven't seen LOTR until you've seen the Iraqi bootleg that my friend brought back with him. I usually don't subscribe to bootlegging and pirating, but when its that bad its practically a fair use satire.

Yes.

But ... but ... I'm not a native english speaker, after all !

Well, according to the link Akima gave to Wikipedia, the phrase was originally Russian. It got into the spy world via the KGB, who got it from the criminal world of armed robbery, a wet job being one where you had to spill some blood to get the goods.
Gives you an idea about who the KGB hired in the early days...

--- Quote ---some fucking people appear to like what Marten said while drunk, and seem to want him to have meant it.
--- End quote ---
Why would he not have meant it? It is exactly what he is thinking, only the booze makes him not censor it!
He likes this chick, open his home to her, helps her out in a lot of ways, and what does he get for his efforts?
Friendship that will fade out when she moves in and starts a family with someone else.
That's what I call paving the way.
She takes advantage of the situation and his feelings towards her. I am not saying she is a cold hearted and calculating bitch, but she is
nevertheless making the best of his attraction towards her. And telling someone "Oh I will always ONLY be your friend, so if you can't
accept this, please let me know. But if you CAN accept it, then fine we'll stay friends" does NOT excuse a chick from taking advantage.
Or even a guy for that matter; I have seen it happen the other way rarely. It is 'parasitic'. Does Marten get what he wants?
I'm sure he wasn't looking for a punch in the head. I'm sure he wanted to make out like he said.
Faye should do the right thing and either move out, or else decide Marten is who she wants, and dump her current BF. It's not nice to him,
but at least she could be true to herself and Marten. She seemed to have at least some bit of romantic feelings at an earlier time.
Marten didn't lie to her when he was drunk. And what he said has been on his mind since he'd met her.
(BTW, I find it best to proceed as if these people were real, and not characters. Pintsize becomes pretty scary that way...)
