Building on the response Gangler's already posted, one could argue Faye was indeed lookling for a good solid grounding force. Marten does seem to provide that. Grounded to the point you wonder if he'll ever leave the runway ...

Now you mention it ...
It looks like a good description of their relationship.
Another way to see it, is, that Faye was in the beginning rather an older sister to Marten, even if she had to maintain this violently.

If he was one of the earlier models, I'd suspect they may have put a damper or filter on that for future models so they could actually think.
I can just imagine an APC walking across the street trying to access 3,000 webpages at once and not noticing the Mack Truck bearing down on them... WHAM!

Gotta catch 'em all. :-D

Marten's just a good grounding force. Got his feet deeply rooted in reality, he's mellow and helpful, he generally sounds like he knows what he's talking about, never makes a big deal out of the shortcomings, failings, or screwups of those around him. Always listens and knows just how to diffuse an emotionally turbulent situation.

See if Marten made a habit out of getting falling down drunk and then getting mean with other characters, you'd have a point. But as others have pointed out, that's an exception. Marten only gets drunk once in a long while when he's feeling great emotional stress. Not the best response to it, true. And if he did it regularly, he'd become an alcoholic in no time. But all the above comic proves is that Marten is human, and like most humans, occasionally makes bad choices, especially under the influence of mind-altering substances.

That's just Momo. She is still culturally Japanese and that's in keeping with the manga style she's drawn after.
--- End quote ---
Not just Momo, and not just light hair. See Marigold in the first panel of 2003. Unless anime conventions apply to her too?
--- Quote ---Sure, Momo may be knowledgeable about Pokemon, but could she tell you, off the cuff, who played Runningback for the 1986 L.A. Raiders?
--- End quote ---
Marcus Allen was starting RB. Took me seconds in Google and I am a mere human. What does off-the-cuff mean to a networked AI? Off her internal mass-storage device?
--- Quote from: FunkyTuba on 09 Sep 2011, 11:06 ---Answers my initial question on seeing her in the comic of "what's a 13yo doing by herself in a coffee shop?"
--- End quote ---
Eh? Why wouldn't a 13-year-old be in a coffee-shop by herself? It's not place where minors are barred. At 13 my mother used to send me out shopping for groceries by myself, and I rode to and from school on my bicycle through city streets (compared to Shanghai, Sydney's traffic is a cake-walk). On the other hand, Jim does seem more the infantalising protective type.
