Is it cold in here?:
Argh. Now I had to go and look up how penguins feed their young.

Tip: Penguins are birds. :)

It's supposed to mirror life, so (within reason) it's prudent to apply the same standards to how you view it; what you say reflects who you are. For instance, if you made a racist comment about the comic, I would pull you up on it.
--- Quote --- As for real life. I have learned that you have to be able to laugh at it, even when it sucks.

You laugh at your own life, not at other people's.

I don't think that it mirrors life. Certainly it doesn't mirror any version of life that I've experienced or witnessed. I reckon it would be more reasonable to say that it characitures and sometimes parodies it. Certainly that how I derive the homour.
As for laugh at other people's lives, I think that's pretty normal. Even when sucking, other people's lives can be quite funny. I would suggest that the guidemark is that if it happened to you, would you, at some point expect to be able to laugh about it.
St.Clair:
Well, at least she's leaving. That's... better than her continuing to be there, I guess.
Now if only she'd actually helped Marten with any of his problems while she was here, rather than making new ones.

Well consider what she does for a living, my good Dug. She practically needs to have a sex-positive attitude, and she seems to have it in spades--it may be why she thought that cheering Marten up could involve getting him laid.
I also think his more prudish sensibilities may be a subconscious rebellion that she's hoping he'll "grow out of." Hence her commentary on his being uptight. To her, he is.

I registered, logged in, and delurked just to tell you how much I love you for posting this.

I will accept this accolade humbly, along with azurite's and steveb's, and I'll try not to be an unbearably smug prick about it.
...FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES But really, thank you. :D

--- Quote from: cesariojpn on 14 Jan 2011, 01:06 ---I don't like this. Veronica causes a lot of confusion and mayhem, and it's all wrapped up by her just casually leaving?
--- End quote ---
It seems perfectly in keeping with her character to me. Blow in, tease Marten, chat to the ladies in his life, blow out. Nobody said she was supposed to be a role model. Except, like, half this forum, I guess... :-D
--- End quote ---
To engage in flattery myself, you have this gift for encapsulating the situation perfectly, Akima, bravo.
I am sad to see V go off into the sunset, but she'll be back, and I am interested to see where things go! Steveb, I hope you're right about him salvaging a friendship with Dora, even if it takes him months; I think that even that small step would be a big leap forward for Marten.
EDIT: At the risk of squandering my goodwill, let me propose that "Veronica didn't fix Marten's problems for him! do what I WANTED her to do! 'help' Marten/OMG her behavior was SO OUTRAGEOUS!" is quickly becoming as tired and useless a statement as that perennial canard, "Dora is a bitch!" and repeating it is to be discouraged. :(
