That was strip #2757. When we discussed it at that time, most agreed that this was just an imagined scenario in Marten's (or Hannelore's) head.

But another statement from Marten in the same strip was that he would not let himself be involved with an intern who had a crush on him. Time will show.

The trope I meant is All just a dream. If I remember correctly, after Marten and Dora first hooked up, there was talk that Jephzibah should write a pregnancy scare arc, to which he replied, in newspost, that he would never use a comedy trope like that. I seem to recall him denouncing it as a sitcom technique, but I might recall that incorrectly.

The mouse strip instead is a hypothetical - the same as if Marten had said "Imagine Emily wearing fairy wings and bringing me mice". Drawing it out just makes it funnier.

NilsO:
Strip #2653 might be relevant in the current context. Claire got upset when learning about the Delilah affair.

Ye gawds, can we please not have any golden apples thrown into the party this week?  Pretty please?
