WCDT New Year's Week 2012 (Jan. 2-6, 2091-95)

Hmmm.... methinks Marten's more serious about it than he realizes.
Three out of four panels are Padma's face, only one is her curves...
The bomb may be that of realization of this fact. He was planning on going for the fun, but as Dora observed, he's screwed. And not just in Raven's misinterpreted way!

Looks like just some explosives.
A doomsday machine would be much more than just that.

Hah! I'm like Marten every time I start dating a new girl. Can't stop thinking about her, and there's always a nuke if she won't see me that week, or has to cancel.Thing is you wake up the next day and she's all you can think about again, and your coworkers ask you why you still seem to have a stupid grin on your face...
Sometimes I wonder if I only date because I get a kick out of the butterflies-in-the-stomach feeling.
Interlude:
To be honest, this is my favorite Marten comic in a while. It's nice seeing what he does in a day/week. I like seeing him play the guitar, instead of just talking about it every once in a while. I really don't like the Padma/Marten thing, so this whole story arc has not been my favorite. (Even though I'm still hoping that it will end up being helpful to Marten in the long run.) But I do think it's nice to see Marten being more active.
As far as things with Padma go-- I really don't think Marten has done anything wrong. She made it clear she was moving, and she has never said anything to make him think she would take this "relationship" seriously. Even though I think he SHOULD have made an attempt to talk to her about all of this, it isn't wrong of him to just go with the obvious assumption and not even bring it up. He's being nice with her-- it's obvious he really likes her, too, and he hasn't hidden that fact. (He's cuddling with her, making daytime plans, etc. It's not him just using her for sex.) Sure, he might be trying to play it "cool," but he is still showing that he cares about more than just having a fun fling. So, if SHE is unhappy with something, she really needs to be the one to say it. She was the one who put limitations on the relationship to begin with, so it's not fair to expect Marten to pick up on any changes in feelings after that.
Unless we're all jumping the gun and she's really just busy packing or some such thing. :roll:

The really psyducky part of that is the bomb-defusing was NOT the most traumatic thing that happened to him that week...
:psyduck: indeed.
