Sven, Sven, Sven. You still have the way with words and with timing. :-D :-D :-D :-D
--- Quote from: Akima on 11 Jan 2011, 05:05 ---Yeah, so Sven needs to adjust his internal censor, but the real question is why Dora and Sven were watching, rather joylessly, Marten's Mum perform in the first place. I just can't imagine watching a fetish video with my brother.

AUGH! :psyduck: That haven't even crossed my mind. Urgh, I think i need some brain bleach.

--- End quote ---
No. My first (and second) impression was exactly the same. She could be just numbly watching whatever non-cerebral flick they chose to rent to pass the evening, but something about her says she's desperately trying to hold back her tears...
...and then, unable to ignore it any longer, Sven decides to break the awkward silence with the first thing that pops into his mind.

Eeek! Are you reading my thoughts?? If so, please disregard any shady/questionable information. :roll:
Seriously talking, idugup i gotta admit couldn't have said it better.

I don't think she did - I can picture her getting up after his comment, silently pulling him up, leading him to the door and giving him the bum's rush, before he even had a chance to realize what was going on and object.
And yes, if she wasn't about to cry, she probably had been crying earlier. Marten's having a hard time, and and most of his pain right now is self-inflicted; he got hungover all on his own. Mom didn't help much, but he's as guilty for falling into the old parent-child patterns as she is. Dora's pain is pretty much self-inflicted as well, but I think that Dora's harder on herself than Marten is on himself. Just her nature, ya know? If you're a driven over-achiever compensating for a star of a brother, then when you're making yourself miserable, you need to be thorough and complete about it. Nothing less will do!

--- Quote from: Boomslang on 11 Jan 2011, 09:28 ---Three other characters, besides Marten, that it might be fun for Sven to go visit-
A. Hanners. We know they get along really well, but they don't hang out much. Might incidentally lead to...
B. Marigold. Cue massive awkwardness, especially from Momo. Plus, Sven might be impressed by Marbear's mastery of WoW.
C. Veronica, in a bar somewhere. Could happen, and would probably lead to lots of exposition.
I'd also suggest Jimbo, but he doesn't feature that often in the comic. Last time we saw him was during the Tai/Marigold fanfic arc, as I recall.

Marigold'd be awkward because of Angus and all. Nah, he goes to see Dale/Gendo, who's still tracking Marigold down...
Edit: In WoW. Not actually, you know, stalking her IRL.

See?? He's "trying to help" just like Veronica was for Marten! So let's excuse Sven too! (Double standards?)
Carl: I don't consider Marten's pain to be "self-inflicted."

I dunno, I think that hangover was pretty much his own self doing.
