Last time I checked, black was a colour, not a form of ethnicity. :wink:
VyperX:
Glad to see the lil' guy enjoying a happy moment. :)
Whatever happens afterwards (and there's bound to be some fallout, it's QC after all), moments like these are what people live for, right? Finding happiness and clinging to it for as long as possible.... :psyduck:

Uh... and last time I checked, black is the colour of Padma's hair, not her skin. If you're going to use that line of argument, it's more accurate to call Africans brown than Indians black...
Mr. Doctor:
Marten has totally a duckface on panel 6 :psyduck:

--- Quote from: stoutfiles on 11 Nov 2011, 03:51 ---I also have a tough time fathoming why Padma likes Marten at all since she's shown no romantic interest in him until this point. She's talked about herself only until this comic, and she's immediately bored by Marten's pipe dreams when she finally lets him speak. If you're going to hook Marten up with someone, at least set it up to be believable! I have to assume that Padma is very loose when drunk.

She isn't immediately bored. She's actually not bored at all. She initiates the conversation, asks him questions about it, and then clues Marten into the fact that, hey, I may want to kiss you. If you're bored with someone, you tolerate and either try to divert the conversation elsewhere or excuse yourself.
And yeah, Padma has shown interest in Marten before. On the hike, she invited Marten--not Elliott--over to see the view with her, she wanted to dance with Marten, she immediately invited Marten on the hike in the first place...It just hasn't been overt because she doesn't know Marten as well or as long as the other characters, so it was more of a feeling-out process. She's always liked Marten as a new friend, and she probably didn't realize that Marten was interested until his reaction to her news that she was leaving (her facial expressions in those last two panels are obvious). This is the first time we've seen Padma since then, and its only natural that if they're both interested in each other, they do something about it now.
And if you were paying attention to body language, Jeph has been pairing Padma and Marten off with everybody else on the outside since the plane engine dance comic.
