And I think that would be something that would piss off a lot of people in the QC-verse, just that the idea that he has moved on, and leaving the relationship where it belongs, in the past. I think Marten is far more resiliant than a lot of people give him credit for. Yes, he has mourned the relationship. Yes, he's done the get drunk and become a bloody jerkass. But he has moved on, he isn't wallowing in self pity as much as others have done before him (We're looking at you Steve, Sven and Faye). Hell, the guy even took the first step to try and rebuild his friendship with Dora by going to C.o.D., now granted that failed, but that was a huge step for Marten.

Even when Vicki broke up with him, Marten was able to build a new life for himself, in a strange city, with no friends (well, maybe that one person that let him sleep on the couch), while some people would have gone back home to Mom or Dad. Marten is a survivor, he just isn't what some of us expect a survivor to be like.

As for his being clueless, he is either (a) really that clueless, (b) messing with Tai, (c) really hasn't thought of the possibilty of Tai going for Dora or (d) believes that Dora might actually let Tai down gently and doesn't want to discourage Tai, believeing that she might see it as him being a possessive git. People have to make their own mistakes to learn the lesson properly.

Thiefree:
I know people like Tai. She, like the rest of humanity, is just trying to do the right thing.

I doubt Tai+Dora will happen though. Dora's a bit too damaged right now; if/when she does move on it will be with somebody new and outside the current group. If she's got any sense.

And I've always got the impression that Tai's interest in Dora was very one-sided. On the other hand, this did happen...

Faye is ostensibly Marten's friend, and vice versa.

Faye knows, for sure, that Tai wants to get with Dora. Not the details, but the intent.

Is it just me, or is it kind of Faye's responsibility to make sure Marten isn't totally unaware of this potential?

Not that she should be blabbing Tai's confessions to everybody, but this could be important. And what if she doesn't tell him, but he later finds out she knew?

That'd put most friendships on the rocks.

chances are Marten is going to tell faye about the party and that Tai invited hm and that Dora will be there, and then Faye will spill the beans so to speak.

Near Lurker:
That, or more likely, Marten will realize what Tai meant, or she'll tell him, in the very first line of tomorrow's strip, and they'll talk it over like reasonable adults.

Method of Madness:
Ha, it's weird thinking of that as "a few weeks" considering in real time it was two years.
