Black Sword:
Am I the only one who would prefer to see Marten actually be bitter and upset about this? Not because I want to hurt the character, but because it's a development away from the manatee on codeine?

Like just last week? After all, character development is being able to move beyond that, as in today's comic.
And actually, why should he be bitter at this point? He was around the breakup, but that concerned his relationship. Dora having a date pushes home the break a little further (which is upsetting for a brief while), but it doesn't change anything at all for him unless he is still hoping to get back together - which I see no sign of. I'm still sad about my divorce 19 years ago, but I was only bitter about it for perhaps six months (after a 22 year marriage - I wouldn't expect Marten's upset to last as long).

In the specified ranges. Overall is different.

Interesting. That's still considerably less than I would've guessed, I would've figured 2/3-3/4 at least, and I'm a little surprised to see Faye outrank Marten, but I guess it makes sense.

That would actually be very little development at all. I'll grant you that it was a bit too sudden a switch between the panel where he's moping a little and the panel where he's smiling, but then again, what's to say Marten isn't just putting on a face for Faye at the moment and is planning to vent a little when he's alone in his room?
TheEvilDog:
I guess at this stage, we all realise that Marten is a type B.
