Did Jeph Abandon a major story arc after 2307 and the hand stabbing incident?

(1/2) > >>

freeman:
Hello everyone and sorry if this has been discussed before.

After over an year has passed I feel this subject is safe to discuss in tactful way. When reading the archives, I can't help but think that something is missing after the incident page 2307 and the next normal page 2318. For the very least there might have been one more Marigold page on the works but who knows. As the strips are mostly scripted as they are drawn, this is kind of moot to think it, but can we rule out a chance of a major plot element being discarded in the process -like marigoldXmarten fling for example?

Has this been asked before, has Jeph mentioned anything about the incident after that. I have not followed his tumblr regularly. This could maybe be material worth adding to the wiki, even by me (in neutral and informative manner of course), if the hive mind can prove the appropriate sources.

pwhodges:
The party was a series of vignettes - I don't see that anything was abandoned.  As for Marten x Marigold, nothing has happened since to suggest that Jeph had it in mind, so maybe he just didn't; and remember, in this forum we stick to Jeph's pairings with no speculation beyond that which Jeph himself feeds us.

Method of Madness:
It's possible that we would have seen more of the party, but that doesn't mean it would've gone any differently.

Is it cold in here?:
Welcome, new person!

I don't actually know but it's a good guess that it was always intended to be a "Marten is awkward" standalone joke.

LookingIn:
He didn't abandon it in so much as he set it aside for a while and it appears that he is finally retouching the Marigold being fearful of herself now with the Dale/Marigold relationship.
