Exactly. Marten is pretty pathetic when you get right to it. However, everyone seems to think that Dora is the crazy, unstable one for finding a way out of their purposeless relationship.
Marten is finally having a revelation about his life and it involves getting a cheeseburger. Sigh.

Hear hear. Need for a punchline for the strip aside, that's a great illustration of a big part of why Dora broke up with Marten in the first place: frustration at indie-boy's directionless passivity.

Just because she or he is your ex doesn't mean you can't still check out their butt, especially if looking at it is still enjoyable. :laugh:

Dora made it quite clear why she broke the relationship up, and that was not the reason.

C'mon Marten, If you just want to be happy then go for it with full force!

It brought comic 1292 to my mind.
Its clear to me now, Marten had ambition, then Tai talked him out of it.
Carl-E:
That's not ambition, that's an uneasy feeling of directionlessness (is that a word?). Tai had felt something similar in relation to her love life, but Marten's is more general and all-encompassing.
