Sad to see the newspost. :(
Hope everything goes well for Jeph and Cristi.
Jazzmaster:
How do you define "need"? Well, I think in this case they are saying it would do him some good by providing him with a meaningful experience that would make little lightbulbs go off in his head, thus brightening the future. ...it might also release some built up sexual tension, and/or boost his confidence. That sort of "need".
Hooking up, when done wrong, can be pretty damaging to a person (see: Sven and Faye), and Marten has never struck me as the type of person to want to hook up since he tends to take relationships so seriously (he doesn't seem really fond of the idea based on this strip alone). Of course, I don't know him better than the author (Jeph) does, so I can't really make that call.
I don't think there were any hints to suggest it was his relationship. I mean, maybe the fact that he urged readers he was OK and not to worry about it, suggested it was something quite personal (like a relationship), but also one of those things people tend to like to keep between them and the other party, and not broadcast for the world to see. But I honestly, that was just a guess...I had no real way of knowing.
Indicible:
Tai has the fact she is a woman running for her. Trying that line randomly in the street will only get you maced.
Sad to hear about Jeph. Voilą. That's all. No off-colour joke.

This definitely goes onto my top 5 list of mixed metaphors.
Best wishes to Jeph and Cristi :(
Soulsynger:
Man, having the sympathy feels for someone I can't actually comfort in any way is uncomfortable. Good for Jeph and Christi for - seemingly - parting ways in relative peace, though. All the best for both of 'em.
@comic:
Ooooh, I hope one of the libary's interns overhears the conversation and chimes in with some odd, socially misplaced comment. That would be the strawbrerry to this morning's whipped cream delight. :-D
... (I hope it's Gabby with something a little snide.)
