You know what you've done, right? Now everyone's going to link to this strip. :roll:

You know you've been here for too long when you don't even need to click the link.

I think in early comics Jeph set up more Faye&Marten-relationship than Claire&Marten-relationship today. I don't like this C&M-relationship very much. (althought they seem like a cute couple) But in the end it doesn't matter to me that much because this is fiction and Marten deserves to be finally happy.

I was wondering about this, too. Here's a thought. IMHO May really should work at ... the Coffee of Doom.
* Faye might appreciate. The old Dora vs Faye sass-a-thon has lost its edge as of late. A new sparring partner would liven up things.
* Dora might not appreciate. After the customers complain about ... whatever ... in a latte.
* Except after May's antics have earned CoD another positive write up in a local paper and she needs to expand to accomodate for the crowd.
* And it would be interesting to see `Hannelore meets May'.

That's a bit different, though, for a few reasons: the comic only had a small handful of main characters early on; the relationship between Marten and Faye pretty much had to be portrayed differently because in the beginning, you didn't have sixteen characters (to pick a plausible number out of thin air) vying for screen time, and not quite the same tangle of storylines. Marten is the story's ostensible protagonist, but Faye and Dora are the only other characters that can plausibly said to provide any kind of through-line from those early days 'til now (I'm not counting Pintsize for the simple fact that he's there more for comic relief than actual plot development). The Claire/Marten relationship is just as organic, and has been given a fair amount of time to grow and evolve, but the fact that it's one relationship in what's now a much more tangled web of relationships (and because of the choppiness that goes with trying to juggle that many narrative threads), it might come off as being more abrupt than it actually has been.
