Remember that comic time is a lot slower. For us, this arc's taken the last two months, but for Marten it's been like four days?
When you inevitably do your next marathon archive binge, it won't seem like a long time at all :P

Good point. It all went by much much faster when I first started reading QC and had a lot of catching up to do.
But still, this Marten arc... Hopefully Claire will help him get over this issue :wink:

After completing the test, you might begin to understand the problem.

While I'm "spectacularly south east", many of my rels are not. Of course I've gone native since 1968, but even my son has traces of a SE UK accent though, picked up from me.

I, too, got "spectacularly south east". A bit surprising, since I come from the northernmost country in Europe... ;)
