--- Quote from: CEOIII on 21 Feb 2011, 13:55 ---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.

You know, depending on how you look at it, Marten's totally getting a break. If you look at it as "nothing but that any girl he might be into has to fully and immediately reciprocate will do!" then yeah, he's not catching a break. But in terms of positive things happening to him? He just received indication that Padma a) remembers him as a regular customer, b) thinks he's nice enough to call over c) appears to wish to befriend him.
Yeah, she's not offering him her vagina right away, but in my book making a new friend is a plus. If I ran into someone who works at a local coffeeshop at a bar and they were friendly and welcoming and started up a conversation with me and tried to bring me into their friends circle, I would consider that a flattering and very pleasant occurrence regardless of whether romance was involved.

You said this way better than I could have. You don't need girls crawling all over you to 'catch a break'. I dunno, I always thought making new friends was a good thing.

I'm in complete agreement with you guys on this. Not to mention, after being in a long relationship with someone, and even living with them, it's not necessary to hop back on the dating horse right away. It's okay to take a little bit of time.

Talker Johnson, PI. He keeps talking, and he fights crime.
No, I'm not going to TV trope that.

Obviously, the plan was that there was no plan at all...!
