WCDT New Year's Week 2012 (Jan. 2-6, 2091-95)
pwhodges:
Jeph is going on holiday for the first time for many years, and he's going to New Zealand (NZ). He has written the comics for this period in advance.
sitnspin:
Marten completely missed a chance to talk seriously about this situation. Padma was clearly trying to open up here, and Marten just brushed it aside with attempted levity. He is definitely being selfish and self-involved here. I think he is trying so hard to just "be cool" about the situation and not let himself be concerned about the outcome, that he is ignoring how it might be affecting her. His comment was dismissive of her feelings. Self-deprecation can be healthy, but it can also come off as invalidating the thoughts and feelings of others.

Ooooh cool ! I didnt knew that. I am surprised he didnt take any vacation for so long ... if I would live from making comics (but I dont have the necessary talent for that), thats how I would get a lot of vacation out of it.
Mister D Nomms:
This is going to be a sad week.
TinPenguin:
Have to say, I didn't really get this one before reading the comments here. But I think I can understand Padma's expression in the last two panels now.
Marten may or may not be acting selfishly, but he is obviously oblivious to it if he is. I think that as far as he's concerned, Padma was saying how happy she is. He's pleased she'd like to have met him earlier, but he doesn't realise it's a genuine regret.
