For comic 1842...


1. Netram Deer, entering Coffee of Doom with his new girlfriend, Zatanna :wink: ...

2. Yay for Faye's ushanka, nice touch with some Tnetnoc Elbanoitseuq history.

3. I think the Blood Tree cap might have been more of a Dora hat rather than Hanners, but hard to say what a really fitting "maximum ridiculousity" would be for for Hannelore to wear :? (hat or costume-wise).  [P.S Add: Yes, I thought of the hazmat suit and Worry Hat, still not ridiculous enough]

4. As I said before, I also agree it will be a while yet before we see Marten hanging out with the majority female cast of QC in Coffee of Doom.  On the other hand, it seems we are effectively past the aftermath (but not necessarily the after-effects) of The Break-Up, so time to start moving forward again.

I wanted to quote this for truth.  I also wanted to point out that if the topic is no-go because of something painful in the person's past, it's quite possible that you won't know about that past pain when you make that comment you considered a lighthearted jest.

It's also quite possible that the person you've unwittingly hurt won't tell you that s/he even found the comment hurtful, let alone why.  If this seems unfair, bear in mind that with your "lighthearted jest", you've given the impression that you don't take that topic seriously, so why would s/he want to open up about this pain only to be possibly met with more "jokes"?  

( This blog post uses misogynist sexism as an example - no trigger warnings I can see: http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2009/08/terrible-bargain-we-have-regretfully.html )

With regard to this particular comic story arc: I for one haven't seen anything in Faye's story to suggest Marten's unfortunate remark would be a trigger for her.  More importantly, though, I think that if it really did bother her, she'll eventually say something.  It might well be off-camera, to her therapist, something like that.  But I think it'd be very unlike her to say nothing, at this point.

Awkward Zone averted

I think the sooner Marten goes to CoD and 'confronts' Dora, the better it'll be at this stage.  If they're going to salvage their friendship, the longer he leaves it, the more difficult it's going to be.

After all, they were friends before they became partners.

iduguphergrave:
That is awesome!

And this makes me smile

If Marten's mustache is capable of becoming that bushy he should totally go for it

That ain't good.

Yeah, that's been pointed out pretty much every time discussion of Marten's name spelling is brought up.

I still maintain that Jeph was telling us all about the character long before the comic got this far.
