Not so much. Like i said, it's irrelevant. It's just odd that it's a topic the forums are so divided on, but according to the comics, it appears there will be one conclusive answer. It's Marten's fault.

The only part addressed in the comic is what Marten did (or didn't) do. That's the only thing Faye was yelling about, that's the only part they're talking about, that's what's frustrating him.
And yes, that was his fault. No question. Padma didn't make him do it, it was his own petty free will.

Faye owned him so hard the shirt changed colours.

I'm busy for a couple of days, and we have four pages in the forum by Tuesday afternoon my time. And I get red text when I've only just opened the editor. A girl must be being a heinous bitch again, and Marten must be being a total doormat again... :roll:

We are the result of the totality of our experience, not of any one or even a thousand parts of it, and Faye is correct in saying that the best thing we can do is value the result.

So very, very true... And many things that happen are both good and bad at the same time...
--- Quote from: Carl-E on 16 Jan 2012, 07:23 ---OK, here's a thought for all the "Marten did the right thing" folks. If it's right, why the bitter acrimony? Why the self loathing? Why does he feel like he was being an asshole (his words, not Faye's)?
--- End quote ---
Yes... Karma is a bitch. That moment of petty spite came with a heft price-tag. They always do, unless you're a complete prick, which Marten is not.

He did all these comics in advance and accidentally changed the shirt color, and he can't fix it from New Zealand. Yesterday's had him in the wrong shirt color too at first; a friend fixed it for him.
Marten's using his older guitar. Interesting.

I still don't see how she owned him. What exactly is he wasting. Is he having a generally bad time in this life? Nope. Did he just trash a promising relationship? Nuh uh. I think just about the only thing he's wasting is his evening. FOR SHAME.

That's what I'm saying though. Yes, one part of the forums, likely the majority, agrees with you. Marten screwed everything up and deserved a real kick in the pants, and he's lucky he has a friend like Faye to tell him he's bad and he should feel bad about it. But I'm hardly the only one who disagreed with this assessment. Granted, Faye's the only one who weighed in on the matter, I just feel like we're all going to move on and it's going to be a foregone conclusion that It's All His Fault,™ which feels weird.
Regardless, agree to disagree. Tova's got the right idea, I think.
