westrim:
How exactly did Cossette find out about this, anyway? How did she hear about what was going on that night in a way that made her think Steve was flirting? It's not like either Steve or Marten would have said "heh, hah, I/he was totally hitting on this one chick." It's like some 4th party gave her a rundown on what happened offscreen.
Also, Marten wasn't bad because he wouldn't lie, he was bad because he waffled. Mmm... waffles.

I totally forgot that comic... and yeah, I agree with you.

I don't think that's hypocritical. She blushed when Marten complimented her. Blushing is not a voluntary response. We already know she finds Marten attractive, she asked him out to before Steve, and his complimented flustered her. She believes Steve was actively flirting with Padma. Most people see flirting as an attempt to attach/cement the interest of someone they are attracted to. That's not the same thing as receiving a compliment.

I wasn't even thinking about the blush part... I was thinking about this part of the comic:
Are you telling me you wouldn't be the tiniest bit jealous if they did it right in front of you
No I wouldn't
I can see how it isn't the same thing... But if I were Cosette I would give Steve the benefit of doubt... I don't think he actually meant to flirt with Padma in anyway.
Oh... and Padma looks very cute in the last panel, great job Jeph!
Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: Odin on 08 Mar 2011, 03:44 ---But then, when every single character in the comic is a walking bundle of psychological problems, it gets to be a bit difficult pointing blame at any particular person when bad shit happens.

May I quote you on the wiki? That is a good insight.
Odin:
Go right ahead, just give me a link to it when you're done so I can see the wiki.
