Faces are getting pointier and I think it looks pretty bad, especially since they change shape panel to panel. Soon all the characters will have crescent moon faces.

Marten's line made me wonder about the meaning. He knows that Tai was gonna make a move on her, so when he said "go talk to Tai, she'll be thrilled", is he:
a) giving the go-ahead to said move,
b) thinking that Tai will no longer make a move since they had their 'bros' moment in the library, or
c) totally absent minded to Tai's (former?) motives?

Or d) a nice guy (as opposrd to a quote Nice Guy enquote) who is thinking about his friends' happiness.

I'd say e) I'm going to try and prove I'm cool with this and suggest you go talk to someone who's interested in you. Let's face it though, if Tai and Dora did anything physical Marten would not be cool with it or a nice guy.
I thought it was already established Marten was a "Nice Guy"? As in, he's complained about putting up with stuff on multiple occassions which is something a true nice guy wouldn't do.

It's been established that a number of people keep saying that Marten is a "Nice Guy", but that many disagree, and that some think the concept is a flawed and ill-defined stereotype in any case. For some reason the subject tends to get the forum worked up (I think largely because the proponents of this view often come over as obsessive in this matter), so I'm inclined to discourage raising it yet again.

The point of contention is that if Marten was a "Nice Guy", he wouldn't genuinely be friends with Hannelore (as one of many examples). But as you pointed out, a guy can be nice in general and still have enough backbone to not put up with some of the shit Marten complains about "having" to put up with.
I think Marten definitely started out in the comic as a "Nice Guy" and has been slowly evolving into something else, but others seem to think Marten could never have been a Nice Guy. As if someone that is one can never stop being one, or something.
