I don't think so.
--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 26 Sep 2011, 14:00 ---If we are truly devoted to the Overanalysis Game, then we will note that Marten used the past tense: "I loved her", not "I love her". This is ambiguous but we could take it to mean that he wanted Faye to know of his feelings before he learned that a romantic relationship was impossible and began to accept that emotionally.
No, wait, that doesn't work. If that's what he meant then he wouldn't have seen the need for the "clarification" at the end.

It means he's considering himself a dead man.

You know, sometimes a cigar joke is just a cigar joke.
Jeh's writing a comic. Sometimes, he goes for teh laffs!
wrwight:
The whole "FTFY" bit where you quote someone and change their words is well established on the internet and even within this forum. I'm fairly certain everyone understood that he was simply disagreeing with you, not trying to make anyone actually think that was what you said.
Anyway, I would agree with what Akima seems to be saying, that it is a combination of inside and outside forces that keep some ethnic communities "closed" to others. I would also agree with those who have said that Padma doesn't seem to be a part of this type of group.
Stoutflies, I give you points for using new comics, but then take them away for rehashing old ones that have been argued over more times than I care to think about. In my mind, both of the new comics regarding Marten and Faye are easily explained, but I can see how they could also point to what you're getting at, so I won't discount that idea. I think that's the closest I'm ever going to get to agreeing with you though, considering history, so take that fwiw.
EDIT: Three times?!? Warning - while you were typing...
Tova:
Yes, thanks for explaining the FTFY thing. You're spot on.

I can go along with this myself. My point is simply that he is letting his interpretation of new comics be very heavily coloured (to put it mildly) by a previous comic that I can only suppose pressed his emotional buttons.
I've been tempted to over-analyze the comic myself in order to really establish my point, but I really hate explaining jokes. It just kills the humour.
Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: stoutfiles on 26 Sep 2011, 22:00 --- he's making no effort to break free of the work/coffee/bar cycle other than replacing coffee with pastries.
--- End quote ---
He's restarted, or at least tried to restart the band, in a conscious effort to break out of his rut and pursue what he wants from life. It's possible that he won't follow through, in which case it will be fair to criticize him for not following through, but the effort is there.
