Nooooo. I can never quite resist checking the forum, and your posts have been making the discussions on here recently much more pleasant to read.

Method of Madness:
Everyone is sexy to someone.

Drunken Old Man:
Long time reader, first time poster here.

Honestly, I'm beginning to worry about Marten. He's not happy and hasn't been for some time.  He's becoming increasingly bitter about his life.  We've already seen that bitterness move him to act out of character (refusing to see Padma for the last time) and now we've seen that sex with people he doesn't really care about won't help..not that we really though it would.

If things don't start looking up for him soon, I would not be surprised to see him consider returning home to California.  Faye would be upset but she really doesn't NEED him anymore: she took what she learned stringing him along and used it to make a functional relationship of her own.  Same goes for Dora. 

He's made the lives of almost everyone around him better but his own is still right where it was in Comic #1...except for a more satisfying job and a buttload more people to get drunk with.  That's not enough.

WAYF:
^The Drunken Old Man has obviously hit the Ballmer's Peak of forum posting. :D

I don't think Marten's life since comic #1 has been entirely a waste. I mean, he HAS had the opportunity to go to space without any of that peak-physical-fitness-and-intensive-training rigmarole.
I do like your idea about Marten improving the lives of everyone around him though. Hopefully karma sends something good his way.

Detachable Felix:
I agree with the newbie, to a point.
He does spend his life making others better, but I wouldn't say he's back at where he was in Panel #1. Also Marten leaving would change the entire dynamic of the comic, given that he's the closest thing to a protagonist that we have.
Dude's got issues, sure. Hell, practically every character does. You do notice that he tends to go back to music when he gets in this state though, so don't be surprised if we see more of Deathmole in the near future.
