I think Jeph's trying to put a lid on the "in vino, veritas" crowd from the drunk proposition scene.
So yeah, pleasant surprise. 'cause he wasn't sure just how he'd really feel... it's a little like when Marigold realized she really was alright at the party. It just wasn't expected, but there it is!
And that 's the best kindof surprise.
PenguinNinja1408:
Does anyone else think the person who's replying to Marten's introspection is someone other than Faye and Angus? I don't really know the layout of Marten + Faye's apartment, so it's entirely possible the person who's yelling at him in the last panel is their next door neighbor or something.
Also, where is Ellen (Steve's ex-girlfriend) living (http://questionablecontent.net/cast.php?, search for Ellen)? Earlier on in the comics, she was living in the same building as Marten and Faye. Did she move out or something?
Tergon:
I talk to myself constantly. Occasionally I have been mocked for it, to which I usually respond that it's because I can't have an intelligent conversation with anyone else. ;)
Good to see Marten's feeling good about this. I agree that he seems genuinely relaxed and happy, and maybe even a little surprised that he is, but it doesn't look like a brave face over gnawing regret.
I do agree, though. Either those walls are paper-thin or both he and Faye sleep with their doors open.
bunnyThor:
Mnnh.
To me, today's strip felt a bit contrived -- like those scenes in a book where the female character stops in front of a mirror and inventories her facial and bodily features so that the readers get a good idea of what she looks like.
This is heavy-handed exposition posing as a monologue that no one on earth would ever actually make.
Is it cold in here?:
Ellen took a position on a deep sea research vessel.
Marten has been portrayed as thinking out loud since strip 6, so I'm willing to buy this one.
