Is there no end to Marten's embarrassment? But will he fly into a rage, simmer resentfully, or just reach a state of mute acceptance?
Sharp:
Oh man...aww jeez...this is the first time since the "Veronica returns" arc started that I genuinely felt bad for Marten. The look on his face is just...utter resignation. I mean, it's one thing to try and sway his anger towards his mother (as we've theorized) but what if it backfires and he just buckles under the weight of all the humiliation he's faced in the past two/three days? I mean, this is rapid-fire embarrassment!
I can handle anger, I can handle sadness, but don't give me humiliation. That really hits me. :-(
I don't know what it was about this strip, but it just felt really...off to me. Maybe because one of my biggest peeves is when people bring up my embarrassing moments; I'm far too self-conscious and have too little self-esteem to just let the past go.

I'd guess that if this is the event that triggers some sort of accumulated reaction, he'll tell Veronica she's worn out her welcome and that she has to leave...
...she'll try to argue her way around such a demand, but I suspect Marten won't have any of it, as this particular event has obviously happened before.
I'm guessing, however, that he has still more to suffer through before he finally snaps.

No, but Rowan Atkinson is Doctor Who.

I love the subtle yet very effective change in expression in Marten's face between panels two and three. Right from the "tired haze gaze" to the "Please tell me that's not what I think it is!" Pretty funny :lol:
