"Oh, uh yeah. Girlfriend. Right." Wow, way to sound enthusiastic there buddy. Aside from the sexual adventuring it doesn't sound like things are going too great in Steve-and-Cosette-Land.

You can tell Angus and Padma are friends; seeing as how they both have the habit of putting their foot in their mouths.

Drithaan · « **Reply #8 on:** 20 Feb 2011, 22:32 »

IT'S OKAY GUYS. Now Padma can safely flirt with Marten and they can make sweet, sweet pancakes with each other. Assuming she now finds herself interested. This isn't really Marten getting shit on as Padma making an ass of u and me.

Steve, Steve, STEVE!

Classy as ever... first pouring on the charm, then worried he'll lose Padma's interest because he has a GF, then being offended by her assumptions...

Although I don't really get a Henry & Maurice vibe from Steve & Marten, it shines a new light on Padma's question from Friday. "Your cute friend" suddenly becomes a complement on Marten's ability to keep a "nice catch"!

Maybe there's still hope for the shippers...

Then Marten getting shit on by Steve.

And yeah, I agree, Jeph is milking the Marten's nice-guy passiveness for all it's worth. I think it's time he start investing in parts of his life that don't involve the QC regulars if he's ever going to regain his footing as an individual. Doesn't seem like the buds are helping any.

No, it's just Padma being more interested in Steve than Marten.

I dunno if I'd throw my drink in her face if I were him. But I would ask her what made he assume that we we're a couple.

I mean... that's just really bad form.

>Padma: Execute SICK BURN

PADMA, I ALREADY LOVE YOU. PLEASE JOIN THE MAIN CAST. That was awesome. Fucking defused Steve and Marten simultaneously. Beautiful. And man, with how unexpectedly touchy-feely Steve can get and how they sometimes act, I might mistake Steve and Marty's DELIRIOUSLY SICKBIZ BRONESS for, y'know, couple-hood myself. Besides which, funny? Yes.

>Steve: Attempt to win over the hot Indian lady.

Your attempt, an overwhelming failure, makes me disappoint, Steve. Cosette is a damn fine girl, and you are not Sven. If it's just flirting on the side, then fine, but not cool, bro, not cool.

....Though, yeah, if he were into dudes he could get better than Marten. Sorry guys.

>QC Readers: Continue to shed tears of black liquid sorrow for the terrible and lamentable fate of Marten.

Oh for goodness sakes, guys. This is getting really old. Nothing bad is happening to him.

And CEO, holy shit, really? You would throw a drink at someone for reading your sexuality wrong?

I mean it's not an insult! It's an honest mistake that sometimes happens! Daaaaaaaaaang.

snubnose · « **Reply #22 on:** 21 Feb 2011, 00:09 »

Um, as the negative comments are overwhelming right now:

I'd like to point out that Marten is definitely not thinking about Dora right now.

Thats a good thing, no ?

Akima · « **Reply #23 on:** 21 Feb 2011, 00:26 »

Marten was actually assertive in this strip. In a passive-aggressive sort of way, of course...

This is supposed to be his best bud here, his bro, and not only is he flirting with a girl Marten was clearly interested in, but then proceeds slam him when said girl assumes them be a couple. Bad enough, in my book, that he was seriously flirting with Padma when he's got a girlfriend he's been with for sometime. I've lost some respect /affection for Steve. He is being a sucky boyfriend and a sucky best friend right now.

Or he could just be enjoying conversing/semi-flirting with the new hot chick he met at the bar and doesn't feel like chasing her off.

Of course if Padma isn't interested in Martin anyway, him disillusioning her is probably just going to make her leave.

New comic = lol

Seriously, guys, the complaining about Marten constantly being "shit on" is getting old. So he gets insulted by his friends. Big deal. My friends can't go 5 minutes without saying something on par with Steve's final comment (or worse) about each other, and it's NO BIG DEAL. It's how friends are. They poke fun at each other, but in the end they're still good friends.

Oh, my problem isn't with what Steve is doing really. My issue is more that since Dora chose her issues over Marten he seems to have had most of creation actively turn against him. Including his own mother, but meh.

Which one is which;
Guy who obviously takes a great deal of time and effort to make himself look good, perfectly coiffed hair, tight shirt to reveal he works out. I could go on.
Other guy at the bar, scruffy hair, wearing a hoodie that quite possibly could fall apart in a strong breeze.

If you were a girl at a bar, and saw these two guys having a drink, which one would you assume was gay?

And it just goes to show what happens when you assume.

I'm pretty sure when a girl asks you about your friend there isn't much a wingman is going to do for you.

At this point Marten is being a bad wingman by pointing out that he has a girlfriend instead destracting Renee like a good wingman would.

While his body language resembles this:

John_Knee · « **Reply #45 on:** 21 Feb 2011, 11:10 »

I think people are missing the obvious plot line here....

Last week we learnt Angus's ex Renee has certain similiar personaility aspects to Faye... Martin liked Faye so today's story is to introduce Martin and Renee together who logically should get on really well for the same reasons Angus and Renee dated..... If Jeph is going down the logical story line, it'll be interesting when Martin takes Renee home to Faye and Angus.....

Depends on what you mean by "better." Steve might be able to pull a sugar daddy/poppa bear to support him in all his grooming product needs, someone burly to hold him in the night.

Given how grabby Steve was getting with Marten at the bar with the whole "WE. ARE. BROS!" thing, it's not completely off-base for Padma to have thought they might be a couple. Of course, she went further than that and assumed she was right instead of considering that among several possibilities. Interesting how quickly that whole bro-bond went out the window as soon as Steve felt rebuffed.

Exactly.

Marten could use some less douchey male friends he can hang out with -- hey, maybe he and Elliot can go off and mope somewhere together!
