KOK:
Dale and Marigold seem to have gone the way of Wil and Penelope, or Steve and Cosette. Once in a relationship, they are pretty much out of he story.
Loki:
Calling it now: All Marten takes from this night is "apparently Claire is really into having her head scratched. So what's for dinner?"
Now that I've said it, it won't happen. You are welcome.

Well, Marigold was featured not 50 strips ago. They're still relevant. Will, Penelope, Steve, and Cosette are all "minor" characters compared to Dale and Marigold.
reicreature:
I think we've consistently seen more of Steve since he and Cosette started as a couple

--- Quote from: ankhtahr on 28 Sep 2014, 20:12 ---It might be worth to mention, that Marten's idea of dating an intern goes further than just dating-a-coworker-trouble. It's rather a dating-a-superior-trouble. He's afraid that it might come off as him forcing the intern into a relationship through his position of power as superior.

He is not her superior. He is a lowly unskilled helper. She is on the career track to become a librarian. She has way more status than him. Her superior must be some librarian. Marten has been given the task of showing her the ropes. He is not her boss.
--- End quote ---
Not a superior in any kind of sense that he's her boss, but he'd still be considered a supervisor by all reasonable definitions. In 2203, Tai saddled Marten with the responsibility of training the interns, which regardless of his actual job rank, made him their supervisor. Heck, that's what being a being a trainer *IS*.... and he would remain their supervisor for exactly as long as it remained his responsibility to train them. Once that responsibility is complete, however, he is no longer their supervisor, since he is no longer responsible for them. At no point in this does Marten's job rank need to change up or down during this process in any way.... it's just perfectly ordinary job responsibility evolution. Heck, I've trained new people at my job all the time that I have absolutely no kind of job rank over... but for the duration that I am training them, I'm still their supervisor, and I have a responsibility to train them to do their job to maximum effectiveness. It's really less of a superior position and much more of a leadership kind of thing really... but keeping all of the same ethical standards of professionalism would still apply.
