WCDT: 2756-2760 (28 July-1 August 2014) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
Loki:
I was also wondering if it's in Marten's imagination or really happening. The first two panels are in his kitchen, though, at the last is in the library, so I assume it's his imagination.
KOK:
Good catch.
Marten says: "Imagine what Emily would be like towards someone she has a crush on." Hannelore does just that. This is how I read it from the start. The change of scene has quite convinced me.

It could be a scene skip

More like a nuptial plumage. We know Jeph likes birds.

I really hope this happens only in Hannelore's and/or Marten's imagination. Even for Emily, this would be a quantum jump in weirdness. What is missing, is a visual clue, something like the drunk bubbles, but the drawing style suggests this is really happening. Perhaps Jeph just wants us to be confused?

There seems to be a discontinuity somewhere, we are missing a Steve/Marten conversation prior to #2752, where Steve complains about Marten. The same conversation is referred to in today's strip. I guess a guest strip replaced the missing strip.
Of course, we can imagine the conversation taking place off-strip. I guess it would be something like this:
Marten: "I think Emily has a crush on me."
Steve: "Good for you! Now, go for it!"
Marten: "I am not sure. It would be unethical to date an intern."
Steve (gibbs-smacking Marten): "I wanted to do a high-five, but I guess this will have to do."

Also, this strip shoots down two ships, one of which I was not on board with (for the same reasons as Marten portrays in this strip), one of which I was.

Wait wait, two ships with interns? How?

I don't think this is the case. The smash cut to the scene could be either one of them.
