--- Quote from: jmucchiello on 28 Mar 2012, 08:54 ---I'm flustered. I see nothing in the art or dialog that indicates he was hitting on her. His statement of moving on is barely even flirty. In my mind, this is Marten, he might apologize for "hitting on her" even if he wasn't just because he accepts her perception of what happened over his.
And the proper response to "you were going to hit on me without knowing my first name" is "What IS your first name?"

I don't think Marten's that smooth. Anyways, I figure it would probably be more obvious if you were actually there. I imagine a subtle enough look on his face suggesting interest, a look that isn't possible to really draw on a webcomic, combined with HOW Marten said it. Which we can't completely tell just by reading.

(I'm not blaming it for my sex life, but it's just... ew. I want to cut my own bones out sometimes.)

What the fuck? This sounds kinda wrong and probably needs more context.

--- Quote from: Kugai on 29 Mar 2012, 00:14 ---This could be the best move Marten has made in months
Or the beginning of a beautiful disaster
--- End quote ---
The latter, of course. This IS Marten we're speaking of.
Also getting a hugely hostile vibe around here about him messaging her. What's the big deal, exactly? It's not like they ended on bad terms, eager to rip out each other's intestines and use them as Christmas tree decorations.

Exactly. So far it's nothing more than taking Potter's advice to not let it end on a sad note. As long as Marten doesn't read too much into any positive response from Padma. Which he might. He's good at that, is our Marty.

Padma Pantnagari.
Shortened by her classmates at school...
No, you haven't missed anything in-comic. This is wild speculation on my part using an Indian city-based surname.

--- End quote ---
I didn't say it was a good move. But, as others have said, I'm not even sure it was a move, in retrospect. I wonder if Lt. Potter may have jumped the gun a bit.
Now, if Marten had really wanted to make a move, he would have mentioned that he is the kind of guy who can bench press her one-handed, and then offer to prove it. As long as the relationship remains a short-term fling that happens entirely within a zero-G environment, he won't be lying!

With that in mind has anyone read Closing Time?
--- End quote ---
I have. I didn't like it anywhere near as much as I liked Catch-22, though.
