Perfectly Reasonable:
Dang. I wanted to see Hannelore go crazy on the drums.

Dale won her respect with the helmet joke, but has Marigold ever won her respect? Dale teasing is normal friendly teasing but when it comes to Marigold, she might be doing it as normal joke and not out of friendship...yet.

Pretty sure Faye wanted to give Marbear a nickname quite a while ago. I would assume that's a term of some kind of endearment.

Yeah that does seem to be the general pattern for Marten doesn't it? And his attempts to be proactive and start relationships don't seem to work very well, as his epic fail with the Lieutenant on the space station shows. Technically though, Marten and Faye were never in a romantic relationship, as Faye put the brakes on with their Talk when it looked like things were headed that way.

But like I said, Marten performing with the band would be perfect for drawing women who'll really want to be with him and aggressively pursue him; women seem to love musicians and especially actively performing musicians. Doesn't matter so much if they're famous or rich, they just have to be performing well in front of an appreciative audience. Based on what I've seen and heard at band performances, Marten's luck with women should take a dramatic turn for the better once he starts playing gigs.

Delator:

--- Quote from: themacnut on 02 Jan 2014, 22:08 ---Marten really needs to stop listening to any relationship advice given by Dora and Faye - they blundered into the relationships they're in, and more due to the actions of their partners than anything they did.

Quoted for Great Truth

Also, I normally like Dora, but her comment in the last panel made me want to punch her in the face.

The panel before indicated that maybe, just maybe, there was a realization that their efforts were counterproductive...and then BAM, next panel they've doubled down on stupid.

Loki:
Are folks forgetting that Dora proactively sought out her relationship with Marten, a relationship that lasted... some 1200 strips, which is almost half of the comic?

Re groupies: I fear that Marten might attract people who would be interested in pursuing the idea of a skinny young indie musician, not himself. Cf. Sara at the beginning of the comic.

I still say he should do it. Why? Because I suspect he is a person who would get a huge ego boost from feeling desired.
