Marten has a crush on Padma. You don't really need to explain a crush-- you see someone, there's that spark. BOOM. So, I'd say it's more than just thinking that she's hot... Crushes are hard to explain. But I wouldn't say that he has any real/serious feelings for her. They don't seem to have a lot of (or any) common interests, they have never had an in-depth conversation, etc, etc.
Crushes are normal, healthy, and fun! It's good for him to have that, but I'm glad that she's moving away. I think he just needed to direct those feelings toward someone after the break-up with Dora. I never saw any real possibility of them being together-- it's just my opinion, but they do not seem like they would work well in a relationship. She's actually starting to grow on me, but I still don't see them as a couple. Like someone else already said-- with her out of the picture, Marten can find his REAL next girlfriend. It might be funny if it WAS Padma's replacement at the bakery. :roll:
Annnyways. I wouldn't be too surprised if Padma does like him. Oblivious people don't always know how to express things to other people. She'll spring it on him right before she leaves. :-P
Kugai:
Dawww,
Marten's gonna need a drink to put out those flames.

Heh, yeah I can see something like this happening: the day she's leaving, she's gives Marten a smoking hot goodbye kiss, then gets in the cab to the airport. Marten's left standing there red-faced and with a raging and obvious boner. D'oh!

Well, Padma did say she was going home "In a couple of weeks". At the rate time passes in this comic, that should give us a few months' worth of webcomics with her, at least... :wink:

Full circle!
Marten leaves Cali for NE for a girl. Realizes he's got issues. Girl he likes leaves NE for Cali.
I like that it's tied together this way. I hope Marten has some epiphanies after this :>
Been reading this comic for years and years, I think about ~200 strips in from the beginning. It's really improved a lot! You're doing a great job, Jeph (in case you read this which you probably don't)
