--- Quote from: Blackjoker on 21 Dec 2010, 15:01 ---Marten is making me think of a poster one of my professors would put up in her office "If you start your day off by swallowing a life frog whole nothing worse will happen to either of you for the rest of the day"

Showing either the limited imagination/experience of the professor, or the poster maker.

I've had days where that would have been the high point of the day.. as has Marten, for that matter. It'd be a judgment call, but he may be having one of those days _right now_
MillionDollar Belt Sander:
I think... in this situation... Martin is the frog.

Wait, he -is-?
Ohh okay, things make a lot more sense.
I thought he was like 26-28 or something.

Or, if one wasn't locked into a Marten-is-the-devil perceptual filter;
Giving up his life and property to move across the country after a woman who was saying "I don't want to live three thousand miles away from you", when she meant "I'm tired of you and I want some fresh dick", then ending up with another woman who lies to him, about him, and about what she wants from him, then enforces a brutal double standard on him, and dumps him when he dares to say the first thing in his own defense.
I suspect the 'truth' may be somewhere between these two extremes, however.

I suspect the truth is that Marten doesn't end relationships well. Of course, there are few people out there that can end relationships well.

We really don't know. Jeph's been coy about time lapse in the strip, but it's entirely possible that he was about 24-25 when we first saw him.
Whatever it is, I'd suspect Veronica is probably twice his age, which would mean she's a fifty-something cougar.
