Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
I'm calling it right now: long-distance relationship.
IMMANotListening:
Going back to Marten for a second:
I don't think it'll lead to a long-distance relationship. At least I hope it doesn't. I know Marten's pain is one of the main driving points of the comic but if anything, this should be a valuable and growing experience for him...hopefully. He'll definitely have romantic troubles and drama but I don't think he'll be jumping on the relationship band wagon anytime soon.

I'm sad to say your references (?) are completely lost on me. :|
GeoCorn:
In real world time it's probably only been a couple months since he split with Dora... So I can't imagine him ready to get in another relationship yet, long distance or otherwise. But I certainly hope Jeph was joking about Marten's happiness.
pwhodges:
Before he wrote The Talk, Jeph had a plan for the future and ending of the comic, in which The Talk cleared the way for Faye and Marten to get together. The Talk, and the realisation that he now wanted to keep the comic running as it was now his main source of income, changed all that, so that he now lets the story develop as it seems to want to (in his mind); this is explained in the Afterword of Volume 2.
I suspect that the remark about there being no chance of happiness for Marten was more that he couldn't see it coming from the way things stand, with a memory of the feeling that if Marten did get finally settled that comic would have to end. In fact this is no longer true, of course, as there are now so many other characters; the comic could quite naturally shift to developing their stories instead, maybe with a happy Marten dispensing wisdom in the background.

Hmmmm
Marten as the wise old sage of the QCverse - An interesting thought
