Re: the terminology debate earlier:
Marten is normally a good friend, but occasionally has the attitude that he's owed sexual favors for his friendship with females, especially earlier in the comic. This is a negative trait, but IMO, it's not currently a defining part of his character, just something that needs to be worked on. (It could be argued, however, that it was a defining part of his character earlier in the comic, and therefore he may well be working on it.) Now, he does things because they're good, not because they'll increase his chances of getting laid.
There, I think I've fairly accurately described the situation, without using the terms "nice guy" and "Nice Guy".
Re: today's comic:
Hmm. Hanners COULD be a good DJ, most likely. Also, if Dora is honest with Tai, it all depends on Tai's sobriety, I think, as for what happens. IIRC, Dora knows that Tai's interested in trying a monogamous relationship... but if Tai's drunk, it could get ugly. If she's sober, she'll probably get really depressed, and then get REALLY drunk? I dunno.
Also, DAMNIT, I've tried posting this three times now... let's see if #4 is the charm...
