...are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Are we somehow going to get a reverse feedback loop and see Marten's Rage Storm directed at our stammering introvert??
...god I hope so. :evil:
Norton Quintessential:
Breaking my long, long, INCREDIBLY long bout of lurking to just say:
This was incredibly unsatisfying. Jeph has been foreshadowing for MONTHS that Marten isn't happy with his life. If that's all thrown out the window because Marten's mom comes and emasculates him in front of everyone he knows... I just don't know what to say.
Marten has never gotten the slightest hint of respect from any character in the strip. He's the chewtoy for the ladies of the cast, his mother treats him like a five year old, Steve thinks of him as one of his lamer friends, and Pintsize... well, he's the random comic relief character. The only character who treats Marten with any dignity is Hanners, and let's face it, she's an emotionally-stunted woman-child who's barely capable of functioning.
It's time for Marten to get fed up.Time for him to stand up for himself, time for him to start getting snarky, hell, maybe even time for him to get pissed off. Time for him to frigging do something.
Back to lurking.
themacnut:
I don't expect it to happen (Marten blowing up/standing up for himself). If there was anytime for that to happen was last week with Ms. Reed. If her behavior on top of the way he was callously dumped wasn't enough to trigger Marten RAAAAAGGGGEEE, then nothing is.
Or maybe Marten hasn't been dumped on enough. Maybe still worse has to happen to him before he finally snaps. Maybe today's comic is just a short break from the second wave of humiliation coming his way...
AnAverageWriter:
Maybe...
Martin will realize he's tired of being dumped on, visits Marigold, they fall in love, buy a bus and drive off, starting a whole new chapter of the comic strip!
:-D
...
Hey, don't look at me like that.
I'm just brainstorming! Really I am! I didn't even mention the bus hitting anyone!
