WCDT: 2563-2567 (28 October-1 November 2013) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
Zebediah:
Marten certainly seems pleased about the prospect of Dale and Marigold hooking up. "Hooray! Everyone's banging someone except me!"
By the way, did you see Jeph's rather hilarious sequence of tweets about some angry shipper e-mailing him complaining that he went with Marigold+Dale instead of Marigold/Hannelore? Classic.

Yes, but Marten is no newbie to taking a conversation south. Even when he doesn't even mean to.

I was trying to refer to a comic I couldn't find before where Faye ogles Marten's behind (and they of course later don't hook up). Finally found it.

Shipping is talking about romantically connecting two characters that aren't connected in the story. Or people and real life, though I don't see that as often. Momo is an active participant trying to get Marigold and Dale to hook up. Marten is just commenting on the obvious attraction between the two of them. Now someone coming along and saying that Marten and Swen would be perfect for each other and should totally hook up... That would be shipping. Even Marten/Claire is borderline, because of the somewhat mixed signals from the wedding party.

Ship is short for relationship, so I think the definition is considerably broader- pretty much any speculation about character (or real people) interactions is shipping. Which is why I personally am pretty tolerant about it, and kind of shake my head once people freak out if shippers even hint at sexuality, or authors act shocked- shocked! - that fans may be enthusiastic about relationships they didn't intend or are unlikely. Like the aforementioned Hannergold thing.
As to Dale and Marigold and their pornographic predilections, I expect that both will be aware, but not experienced, with any such material based on their treatment to date. Read; both will have inexplicably completely avoided explicit porn of any type for the sake of Comedy.
Wetman:
I think Dale's efforts extended just a little, Momo.

Which explains why Marigold was staring at him so much :-D
