It's a puzzle as to what this person wanted to achieve. Do they want QC to be some sort of Jersey Shore knock-off (God help (read: smite) the person who ever tries to do something like that...)? Or do they possibly expect Marigold to have the same appearance as a candle under a heat lamp?
God damn it... I could understand this sort of negative reaction if Jeph had portrayed Marten as taunting Marigold for her shape, but since Marbear is the one with the negative connotations toward herself (most people can relate to this, at least) and Marten trying to (and yes, hilariously failing at) being supportive (most people can relate to this (or at least those of us with some shreds of decency and compassion), even if we suck at it), then I fail to see what this troll has tried to achieve besides bringing one person with enough issues on his plate down further, and pissing off a bunch of other people who are trying to enjoy a small piece of said person's world and support him in the best way we can (even if it's just reading the comic and getting a smile out of it).
Although, given the nature of trolls, it wouldn't surprise me if that was their goal all along...

I doubt Jeph took the day off because of one moronic twitter comment, I'd suspect it might just be more that he was overwhelmed - it's been a tough week for everyone on the east coast (not exactly the situation I'd want to be stopping smoking during).
A lot of how Marigold looks normally is due to her clothes. If she wears baggy clothes her figure is obscured. I wear a lot of baggy clothing, not particularly because I'm ashamed of my body but because I consider it to be private, and as Redball once put it, it's hard to see where my clothes end and I start. That could very easily be Marigold's situation as well.

Oooh oooh! You understood the overriding point? Can you explain it to me?

Some hours ago I saw tweets by Jeph in which he mentioned he had yet another case of sleep madness.

Thing is, crap like this doesn't help insomnia, nor does it help its reverse.
