Carl-E:
I'd be happy with a name for MMB. Back story would be nice too, though.
And I think I made the same point Odin did, but in another thread. I pesonally like the TheBiscuit's theory. Padma's sick as hell of Renee's crankiness and is attempting a matchmaking episode.
Hijinks ensue, of course...

two months is just about what you'd expect i guess, especially from a wuss like marten

If that is what she's planning then I think that's the last thing on Marten's mind.
In the early strips it wasn't Faye's abusive nature or crankiness that made him attracted to her. They shared interests and could talk about stuff. I do remember some strips where Marten spoke of his attraction to her physically as well. Renee doesn't have the same curvy body shape as Faye, and there's a good chance that their personalities don't really connect. I don't buy the thought that he's attracted to abusive women. Rather he was attracted to Faye for other reasons.

On second thought, I can't say Dora and Marten even had wonderfully connecting personalities. Marten doesn't seem to have much a of a specific or strong personality... he's just a nice guy. But I guess all it takes is two people who want to be in a relationship to make that relationship happen. So, who knows...?

--- End quote ---
What is "soon" for you? Do you know how much time has passed since the breakup? Because I have no idea..
Marten's smile is possible the best thing I've seen in this comic since a long time ago. It's like "hey... I can move on!"
I don't know about you guys, but I felt glad with that smile, probably the first time Jeph has done something that hits home. Good done Jeph!

Its not good if you immediately jump into the next relationship after the last one failed. You need some time to think things through. Especially find out why the previous relationship failed. So you might not repeat the same errors the next time.
Otherwise Dora will turn into just another "They're all crazy".
And about time ... I dunno, maybe a week or two ? Not more than three.
BryanP:
Suddenly I'm reminded of a line from Christopher Titus Norman Rockwell Is Bleeding.
And ladies, we men don't have a post-breakup 2-week eat-cookies-and-cry period. We've got a 'I'm gonna go out and find a woman who looks just like you and @#$%^ her just to prove I don't need you!' period.
Granted, that didn't work so well for him.
