Mr_Rose:
OR, or, you guys, Elliott(sp?) just found out that Padma is hanging around for a while longer and now thinks he's in with a shot (again?).

This doesn't seem at all to be Elliot's character.
Actually, the forum assumptions I've seen people make during this arc really give me the feeling that a lot of the forum thinks the QC is composed of terrible, terrible people.
* Dora isn't going to go psycho and/or start manipulating people behind Marten's back. That's not her nature.
* Elliot isn't going to go start pummelling people left and right.
* And then there's that guy who's saying he fully expects Padma to ditch Marten with a "You wanna be with me? You? Dude, you have no prospects. You're floating through life. And that's just not attractive for the long term. It was fun. See ya."? When have we ever seen any indication of Padma being so monstrous?
Come on, people. We aren't dealing with a cast of Mengeles here. Give Jeph SOME credit for creating characters with enough humanity in them to actually think about each other.
Carl-E:
I think it waspretty well established in here that there wouldn't be Marten poundings from Elliott when he found out. it would be more like foetal sobbing in the corner.
Which is why I tend to like the interpretation that he's high-fiving Marten convincing Padma to stay a bit longer - incomplete information on Elliott's part makes for more drama chances and funnier hijinks.
Also, Jeph's comment about "Briefly debated giving Marten a wet patch on his boxers." was hysterical.

Ahh, but you see, we have to measure that against Jeph's stated semi-serious intentions of removing all happiness from Marten's life. So we have to build of an aura of cynicism to soften the blow when the inevitable soul-crushing moment is upon us!

I can't help but crack up at the 3rd panel.
