--- Quote from: pwhodges on 06 Feb 2013, 15:47 ---Remember also that Jeph must be aware of his own psychological fragility, and may be consciously trying to avoid triggering the kind of comment that got to him so badly in the autumn. I doubt that the readership count was his first thought when he made the change.

There was an actual comment that got to him? I thought it was just a relapse related to stress or something.
On an unrelated note, where is my pitchfork?
--- Quote from: St.Clair on 06 Feb 2013, 17:58 ---My opinion from the previous visit - including the moment when Marten finally got fed up with it, managed to find something resembling a spine, and was promptly smacked down in front of all his friends - stands. Veronica, whether it was entirely conscious or not, has done an excellent job of breaking Marten's spirit and ensuring that he will remain her obedient, pliable little boy forever. Someone who will drift through life with no real goals or agency of his own, waiting for someone to tell him what to do.

That's a bit different sentiment than I've expressed, but you expressed it far better and I mostly agree.
--- Quote from: Carl-E on 06 Feb 2013, 20:16 ---OK, that's the third person on this page who's called Claire "ditzy". Either you're all just jumping on the bandwagon, or, as Inigo Montoya once said...

I keep seeing (and using) him recently. If you hadn't posted that, I was going to soon.

You all are reading too much into Veronica, don't you think? I really don't think she's as callous and evil as some make her out to be. The simple truth is, sex does alter your personality when it becomes your profession. As far as someone whose been in that kind of profession, she's done a fairly good job at raising Martin. And he's not nearly as bad as the others in the comic with Steve being the exception.
MillionDollar Belt Sander:
Ok after reading Jeph's tumblr it all makes sense now. +1 Internet for being proactive.
As for the asshole who messaged him about Clair, LBGT agenda and transphobia... Hopefully he dies as a result of a series horrific yet UTTERLY HILARIOUS events. Ok I don't actually hope for that, but come on. If you don't like the comic stop reading. Jeph has been clear on his stance with LBGT... if you don't know that by now you've missed a memo or two.

Seriously. She's Marten's mom, this stuff is part of her unwritten job description.

Again, I don't think she's either. I think she loves her son very much and wants him to be happy. I theorize that she may think that the best way to do this is to run his life for him. Mother always knows best for her precious boy.
