--- Quote from: Schmorgluck on 04 Jan 2012, 23:03 ---My take on the whole situation:
Padma told Marten this couldn't last long, let's make in fun while it lasts. She probably meant it at the time. Marten was a bit mopey about it at first, but finally decided to go with the flow for the sake of fun. In order to be able to do so, he wrestled himself into a new, more care-free, state of mind. This made him even more oblivious than usual. And completely miss that Padma's feelings have evolved.

If her feelings have 'evolved' then why does she seem to not want to see him at the moment? Because he's acting too casual about the whole thing?

I think she's trying to avoid growing even more fond of him. It would be too painful in the end.

Bingo! That's how I have been reading the situation, especially after that discussion in bed where he unintentionally cut off her attempt at expressing deeper feelings with his typical self-flagellating humor.

Who wouldn't be distracted by that? It wasn't until reading a comment about "risking his life" here on the forum that I went back and saw what they were talking about. I freely admit I am a bit of an ass girl.
I am pretty sure Marten is hearing echoes of the Vicki Situation all over again. If he has any degree of self-awareness, he would. Whether or not this IS a repeat of that situation is a different matter, but he would be a fool not to notice the similarities. Talk to the woman, ya dumbass.
Welu:
I got really happy seeing Marten playing the guitar. We know he's still working on it!
Just had a thought looking at the second last panel. The exclamation point suggests Marten knew it was Padma before taking his phone out so he must have a custom ringtone for her. Ooh, girl, that means he likes her something fierce! ... That might only be funny to me because of how I heard it in my head.
Also I noticed what was going on in the fourth panel despite Padma's booty but the ridiculous aspect didn't hit till someone else said it out loud.
I do hope a face-to-face happens soon. Unless some twist is coming it's getting kinda hard to watch Marten being kicked this hard when we're pretty sure where this is going.

it's even funnier reading it with Christopher Walken Voice :-P
Binary:
"Cut the blue wire.... CUT THE BLUE WIRE".
(Possibly not the cultural reference Jeph had in mind, what with the wires being red and green...)
