I don't think you realize the seriousness of the business going on in here. Let me tell you how serious this business is: you need to have an MBA and some Italian fucking loafers to be posting in this forum. You thought you could just come in here and talk about how funny some panel was? You thought WRONG, motherfucker. Crack open your literary analysis text, we are going to be here a while. Where is your psychological graph? Your shipping wall? Your thesis on who shot Faye's father? Get with the program here.
Carl-E:
Steveb, well put! And don't worry about the Dr. ROFLPWN, he's been a bit out of sorts ever since his thread was trashed...
I mean, I haven't even started my thesis! No MBA, either.
Also, we already have an image...
Feel free to fix it.

I think Veronica is one of the most true-to-life, hysterical moms I've ever met. Maybe because she completely reminds me of my mother (except my mother would never have hugged my ex), but everything she's done / saying is absolutely dead on for being a Mom. In her eyes, she's seen heartbreak come and go, and so she sees Dora & Marten as just another relationship in the big scheme of things. To anyone who has ever had a hard breakup, it never seems like that at all. So Veronica's going to be looking at things a lot more big picture then anyone else, and she's probably somewhat amused / trying to desperately point out that Marten has all of these amazing single women in his life who he might be compatible with (Hanners, Marigold, etc). She has to make sure he doesn't lose perspective of his life as a whole.
As for today's strip, holy cow, I laughed HARD. I completely approve of what Veronica said to Faye. Because she's calling out the 900 lb gorilla out. If Faye really just saw Marten as a friend, that might sting a little on the self-esteem front, but hell, Faye herself has decided that Marten and her going out was a bad idea, so why would she be so heartbroken about that comment?
Unless...Faye really isn't sure. Right now, Marten functions as her emotional boyfriend, for lack of a better term. Their friendship is basically Marten doing all the boyfriendly emotional things (being there for her when things go bad, etc etc), but with none of the physical aspects (except the occasional hugging). Veronica may have picked up that while as Faye is dating Angus, Faye *needs* Marten. As a mom, it's hard to see your boy struggling with being alone and lonely, when you realize his roommate / best friend is using him (perhaps in Veronica's eyes) as an emotional boyfriend.
Why not find out how someone REALLY feels by dropping that line in?
Alternatively, Veronica just believes Faye about the entire "I don't have feelings for Marten that way" bit, and just dropped that line in as kind of a re-affirmation of "you made the right decision for the two of you", unaware that Faye probably isn't 100% sure about it.

Why would you remind me of my faded glories, you cruel, cruel man. :cry: I am as Ozymandias! All the works of my hands have become as dust!
(More seriously I am just being a sarcastic jerk.
As to the image, I like it, but it needs the headband, I think...The lettering is good though.
Carl-E:
Sorry, must be my true nature slipping through :evil:
As for the image, all I gots is MS paint. I had to darken the couch to get the lettering to show, and did a pretty lousy job. But yeah, if someone wants to put her into a "million dollar baby" outfit, feel free!
