Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT: 2796-2800 (22-26 September 2014) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
efrumttr:
The more I look at the comic, the more I think that Marten's face in panel 3 has a definite look of uncertainty--like he's not sure if Claire's 'what are you even doing to me?' might be a negative question (i.e. we need to slow down) rather than a positive one (i.e. this feels so freaking amazing). Then in panel 4 I definitely see relief on his face once those doubts are clarified and resolved with Claire's adorable nuzzling.
Thus:

Thus preserving the "never the twain shall meet" path that the universe has for Marten and Faye. This pattern will continue for the rest of their lives. While one is with a partner the other will be single.

Damn those twain!

SQUEEEEEEE
Ahem, okay.
The other thing: Marten is drunk, but he doesn't appear to be "accidentally eat an armadillo" drunk. I mean, he still seems reasonably in control of his faculties, and aware of what's going on around him. With that said, if a girl is nuzzling your neck and saying "don't ever stop", you would have to be Tequila Monster drunk, or worse, not to get that message.
I refuse to believe this will result in anything less than seventy years of marriage, followed by peacefully passing away within an hour of each other.

Hey, armadillo is delicious.

I suspect that, when she said, "Mistakes were made," she realised going back to Marten's was not something she wanted to do that night. She's either going to wake up in her own bed and wonder how much of the night was real or she's having this day dream in front of them and she's going to be brought back to reality when Faye or Marten asks her what she meant by "Don't ever stop."
There are two reasons why I think it's a dream:
* It's out of character for Marten.
* The colour of the walls is wrong.

Huh. Seriously? Wall coloring wrong? Check I must.
It is out of character for Marten, even if he's comfortable around Claire. Dude isn't that smooth or forward in anything. And after his reactions to Emily....I dunno. Hell, he seemed massively down when he realized Emily's "everyone got this" letter wasn't just for him. Then he mulled over a "kiss" forever.
Everything about this just screams friendship. And I like it that way actually. Everyone has a BFF. Not sure Steve is much of a BFF. Too much history with Dora for that. There's Faye, but prior romantic history there as well. Meh...
Bah, I'm just cranky because I want more Emily and I've been missing Pintsize.

As for drunken Marten being "intimate" here with Claire, I have my own theories. The drunken socializer. When sober, I absolutely HATE being touched. Major pet-peeve. Also decently introverted. Get me drunk though, and I schmooze. And not just that, I get way super feely with people, even strangers, more so with friends. I basically become the hugging panda bear. Embarrassing really, but true.

She is experiencing a revelation. This is something she never knew existed.
