CEOIII:
OK, so Marten should call Dad?
akronnick:
Certainly, if only to let him know they'll need another flower girl.
Edit:
Wait, are Marten and his mom getting coffee at a :gasp: Starbucks?!?!?!

No. No, fuck that idea. In fact, I really should have called westrim out on this yesterday and it is starting to bother me that people don't get it.
What would Henry say that's any different? He's busy being in love and getting ready to get married! Hell, he'd be worse to have around; at least Veronica is focusing all her attention on Marty, not mooning over somebody and then looking back all "oh, sorry son."
Nobody can fix this for Marten. That is not how real life works. If you want to laud QC for realism you have to accept this too: welcome to the world of dealing with your own heartbreak. People can be there for hugs and sympathy and embarrassment and all that, but no one is going to wave a magic wand and fix this.
Or do people just want someone to come and punch Dora? Is that what this is? Not to be paranoid but I noticed that the time Ms. Reed's popularity really started dropping was when it became clear she wasn't going to fuck Dora up. Is...Are we that bad, guys? Tell me we aren't.)

So you concede that people can be around to help Marten through this.
But are you also willing to concede that Veronica's been about as helpful as a kevlar vest against a tactical nuke? Repeated embarassments, dressing him down in front of his friends, that "You'dve been HORRIBLE for my boy" to Faye...........you asked if people wanted Dora punched, and I'm sure I can speak for several readers in this comic when I say, there is a woman in this comic we want to see hit in the mouth, and it ain't Dora.
Dr. ROFLPWN:
Sure. Veronica has fucking sucked at cheering him up. When she all but said so in today's comic, there's not a lot there to admit.
I think she's really funny and charming regardless, and I've enjoyed her time in town. As to the list of grievances, I got over being embarrassed by my mother as a source of major emotional trauma when I was done being thirteen years old and presumably so did Marten, the dressing down was a little fucked up but hey, and she was completely right about what she said to Faye (sorry OTP crew).
I think if you want to punch V in the mouth for her arc here it says more about you than her.
