Sylentknight:
I'm am so overwhelmingly happy for Marten (and Padma) right now. However, this forum bus is moving so fast that I wasn't sure about jumping on.
I won't get into the slut argument. I've actually witnessed the male version of that many years ago (five different girls in one night and he looked like hell the next day).
But I have to ask...did the slut word get thrown around like this when Faye started having sex with Sven? I don't remember.
What Marten and Padma have may fall under the category of the "benefits" package (is that a archaic term yet?) which could arguably be considered requiring a more "adult" and experienced perspective of relationships. Something not everyone, even those who practice it, are capable of. I do hope Marten comes out a tad wistful but otherwise happy after this when Padma leaves. Marten has gone from relationship to relationship as far as we know, and that may not always be a good thing. Just because you have sex with someone doesn't mean you should have a relationship with them. Of course Jeph may be setting things up for Marten to deal with his own issues if he actually does feel the need to follow her. What if what's happening now with Padma is similar to events that led Marten to leave California? If it is, maybe we'll get a little reflection on the part of Marten's character in a big reveal conversation with Faye, since as we all know, the conversation with Faye is coming. :-D
-edit-
Does Elliot ever have to find out? Marten has no reason to go back to the bakery once Padma is gone, however because Padma tends to act before she thinks there is the very real possibility that she may say or do something at the bakery that gives everything away.
lepetitfromage:
i've really enjoyed this arc and i think this strip was a good one. Yay Marty!
a few thoughts:
Words on Padma's underwear as a tell-tale sign that this whole evening was all an evil plan to jump Marten? I think it's a bit of a stretch. i have a bunch of underwear with words on them and i think they're funny. and i wear them often, sometimes to work! not all women take their underwear seriously. :-P
I think they are just two people who are attracted to each other, wanted close physical contact and actually managed to get somewhere after a little liquid courage. Whether someone is in a relationship or not, sometimes intimacy CAN just be about the fun of sex. I think both of them know that this is not going to turn into a relationship.
My only gripes?
One- The Marten/Elliot thing. It would have been nice for there to be another male around but if/when Elliot finds out I can't imagine him being all too pleased. Plus, I was secretly hoping that if he became part of the regular group, there might eventually be some Hanners/Elliott chemistry (or at least something similar to chemistry that would have made sense for Hanners. They were just so cute during that whole awkward bakery time).
Two- Not cool to leave your friends in favor of a boink. I can think of a few different ways they could have gone about the situation that would not have been quite so "see-ya-later-i'm-gonna-go-have-sex-now".

No he isn't.
TheEvilDog: look at the last four letters of my screen name. And then heed the following advice.
"Don't get me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
(Yes, I was being called "The Incredible Houk" and "Houkster" back when the show was on originally. I did not mind it one bit.)

I don't think he'd take kindly to that statement. Never doubt another bros wang-stamina. :-D

I just meant that Padma will be leaving soon, so that means less possible fun moments for Marten :P
