The Duke:
That seems to me like kind of a dick way to bring Steve back to reality, but I guess Steve shouldn't really have been flirting with Padma anyway. Hmm.

Only if you're such a homophobe that you feel being called gay is a huge insult to Marten somehow. First of all, she never said they HAD to be gay cause they were talking--she just said she assumed they were. So what? Maybe if he were there with Hannelore, Padma'd have assumed Hannelore was his girlfriend. And you don't even know what else went into the assumption--maybe the way Marten acted when he came in for his coffee and a danish. maybe the way Steve was hanging on him when trying to get him to share his feelings. Maybe something else.
Do you throw a drink in people's faces each time they make a totally harmless assumption about you? I was at my highschool reunion the other month, and I was standing next to an old friend, and another classmate assumed I was his (pregnant!) wife and asked about the baby. I didn't throw my drink in her face.
You seem to have some SERIOUS anger issues here, dude.

I think that'd be pretty unreasonable, and fairly out-of-character for Marten. Being mistaken for being gay isn't an insult. It was an honest mistake.

I see we're on the same wavelength here! I didn't see your post before I posted (I've been having some computer issues), so my apologies for being repetitive!
CEOIII:
Fine. Maybe it was an overreaction. Maybe it's just a little displaced anger at the fact that this comic isn't "Questionable Content", so much as it's "Let's Slap Marten In The Mouth Daily".
ONE BREAK, Jeph. Marten runs into an old friend, they have a pleasant, snarky time. Alt-Faye and Marten hit it off. Hell, Marten gets his tax refund, buys a PS3 and starts a league on DC Universe Online with Marigold. SOMETHING. I am REALLY tired of having my mood wrecked every time this comic updates.
