Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT 8-12 August 2011 (1986-1990) aka Method's birth week
billydaking:
Been lurkin' on this whole week's discussion about what Marten should be doing with his life, even though some of the responses strike me as something my parents thankfully never told me to do. Just wanted to point out one thing:
As we're pointing out that Marten's interest in music and the band is a "hobby," we're forgetting that we're posting on a message board for a webcomic that started out as a hobby.
Hobbies are things we do because we tend to be passionate about the subject. In many ways, hobbies are the iceberg's tip of things that actually drive our lives and give meaning to our day-to-day existence, whether it be music, writing, art, science, teaching, or whatever juices your soul. Marten's simply recognized (finally) what makes him happy, and now he has to figure out what to do with it.
Also, I know far too many regional musicians who have managed to make a life doing their thing, without becoming national acts much less stars, and they wouldn't trade it to "shove crap for a million dollars."
Some of us would like to be on our deathbeds with no regrets.

Sure, it was quite clear enough, and recognised. And yet I could point you at times in this very forum that would have justified my explanation; and unlike Schroedinger's cat, I can't have it both ways (though I do have the T-shirt - the Schroedinger's cat one, I mean). But even if you think me sombre, I hope you accept that I am not humourless.

@pwhodges...
Never meant to say you were a somber person, the problems of internet text communications. Gods know any Forum Moderator worth their "ban-hammer" cannot afford to NOT have a sense of humour without losing a noticable portion of sanity. I definitely accept you are not humourless and accept your silent "lols" :) .
*throws a cat in a quantum-steel box into the pwhodges volcano in sacrifice...just in case*
Is it cold in here?:
Marten likes buying coffee and guitars, but doesn't seem to be into money for its own sake. He didn't want to accept $2,000 that practically fell into his lap.

Well, that two grand did involve HannerMom playing off her daughter's fears and insecurities, which bothered Marten. Hanners did get the satisfaction of sticking it back to her mom.
