Applying for work with the Circle Of Ourbourghs, are we?

--- Quote from: DSL on 07 Jun 2011, 05:51 ---"Townie" can be used to refer (usually in condescending manner) to the permanent popuation of any pace with a sizable temporary population. It's used by college kids/faculty, etc. But also tourists and "summer people" in a tourist area. Corollary: The permanent residents plave a premium on being "from here."
On another note: I think Padma's approach to clue-ishness will evolve into her becoming the "perspective character" -- her role wil be to remind our self- absorbed protagonists it's not all about them. I like how she's depicted as going about her job while giving half an ear to Marten's story. Drama's all well and good, but life goes on, is what could be on Padma's T-shirt.

To make a 90's Sitcom reference, Padma is going to be QC's Wilson (except you'll get to see the lower half of her face).
TheEvilDog:
I thought it was more Marten was thinking along the lines of that scene in Jaws where the Brody family are on the beach with their friends and Ellen asks when does she become an islander. But she can never be considered as one, because she wasn't born there. Same thing with Marten, he knows he wasn't born there and by his definition he isn't a townie.
Incidently, does anyone know what part of California Marten is from?
Black Sword:
Comments on today's strip:
1) Padma's bust size is consistent with yesterday's! Yay!
2) Bonding with the Secret Bakery staff! Also yay!
3) What in the world is a townie? This was answered above me.
Related to 3, I'd have to say Marten is not a townie. He may have roots in town now, but he could always get up and leave to chase something else, if the correct conditions occur.

EDIT: Is it just me, or is Padma more bosomy in this strip than she normally is?
--- End quote ---
Jeph has NEVER been consistent about THAT.
--- End quote ---
At least he isn't like certain manga artists, where the bosoms are proportionate to the character's confidence level at a given point (thinking of the Hellsing manga, specifically, though there are others).
--- End quote ---
Er, what? Seras was busty from the start, wasn't she? Integra was pretty small in comparison...
--- End quote ---
Depends on how much attention you pay to the actual drawings over the course of the series. I mean, compare how huge they were when Seras was first turned to how absolutely gigantic they are when she's wielding the dual artillery machineguns (or the progression from huge to small for Zorin when that fight starts out compared to when she gets her head ground off all over the inside of Hellsing Headquarters).

I don't doubt you, but visual citations, please?
