Does Marten have goals?
Carl-E:
No, no, I think you've made an interesting point. Every generation has its "lost" generation, becase everyone goes through something similar to this at about the same time. Some "get over it" faster than others, but I think it hapens to a large nyumber of people, and if it's happening to the people you hang with at about the same time, it can really become a self-perpetuating kind of thing.
It's also part of what makes the comic appealing - we all recognize a bit of ourselves in at least some of the characters - meek Marten, Brash Faye, loopy Hannelore - we all have seen the "WOW, I'm just like that" or "I have a friend who's just like that" posts in here.

How is having talent different from being lucky? You don't earn talent, it's just something you have. If that's not luck, I don't know what is.
Is it cold in here?:
Marten's dissatisfaction with his life goes back to strips 3 and 11.

You do have to work at a talent to improve it or keep it sharp though, which Sven probably does with personal practice. Even if he had a natural knack for writing songs, he probably had to work to learn guitar and has to practice to stay good at and get gigs.
