Is it cold in here?:

Is it only me or has Marigold undergone a mysterious transition to slightly slimmer, better skin and better hair? Okay - the last we saw of her before had her under the effects of medication and a rash, but...

Welcome, new person!
Jeph frequently changes drawing style simply because he wants to and then gets irritated when people read too much into it, but I suspect you're on to something here. Momo offered to cook more healthful meals and there are hints she's showering more often.

A lot of my reasons for being uncomfortable with it might be mitigated if I knew that previously she was a virgin though.
Edit: To be fair, I'd think less of myself too.

Unless you also think less of Dale, you've got one of our culture's stupidest ideas lodged in your brain.
We know Marigold has never had a boyfriend and had never been kissed when she first appeared.
KOK:
What is this about "first date"? They have met often. They know each other well. What makes a "date" so special? What if they had had sex without ever "dating"? Would that have been worse?
rschill:
"First Date" seems like a silly framework and set of standards for Dale and MarBear.
It really is a silly framework for me and everyone I've been seriously interested in beyond sex. I haven't dated dated for decades. I mean: going out on the town for dinner, movie or watnot seems to be not really related to initiating the sex or relationship part.

Only way I'd think less of Marigold (and I'd also think less of Dale too) is if they didn't use a condom. Seriously people, men and women, always use a condom, for the respect and love of yourself, and for the respect and love of your partners. I know they are both virgins but I don't think either of them knew that they were both virgins. And even then, people who are virgins have been known to have somehow picked up an STD that they weren't aware of.
Of course, we'll never know if they used a condom or not, but I'll just go on pretending that they somehow managed to be godtier awesome and did even though it's probably giving them too much credit with how hopeless both of them are.

I agree. I think... I've actually only ever had one "first date" in my life. I think it was with my uh... 5th person I dated? I went through the formal shit with him, asked him out to a dinner and a movie. Wound up being the worst relationship of my life lol.
I mean it's not like I haven't had dates with people I've been dating other than that, but they were often something like, "Yeah let's go out and have a special date for the hell of it even though we've already been dating for 9 months" and you can't really call that a first date even if it was the first date you had together.
