Did you notice that?
jwhouk:
And Marten, the MAIN CHARACTER OF THE COMIC STRIP, THANK YOU, doesn't get even a passing mention?
Method of Madness:
Nope.
DSL:
... about par for the course for Marten, don'cha think?

Here seems the best place for this: The last five words of panel 4 in 168 remind me of There Must Be An Angel
Mlle Germain:
The discussion seems to have changed topic a bit, but I really feel like saying something about my name, too:
In addition to my first and middle name, I have two last names linked by a hyphen (this is because my parents both kept their names when they married. This was possible for some time in Germany). Since my first name is quite long, my "everyday name" without my hardly used middle name has 23 letters and 7 syllables. I often have to squeeze it into much too short spaces when filling out forms. Additionally, the first last name has several spellings in German which means that I always have to specify which it is. Then I have to spell my second last name, which is very rare. Then I have to say that there's a hyphen in between. And then I have to repeat my first name, which people have forgotten by now. :-D
And this is just in Germany. When I lived in Australia, I just spelled my whole name immediately if anyone asked (some of it is not really pronouncable by English-speaking people).
Also, my name is unique. When you google me (without middle name), there are only hits about me - I don't like that much.
But I also wouldn't want to change my name (e.g. by marriage) or drop one of the last names. Then it wouldn't seem completely like me anymore .
