Skewbrow:
Apparently. Well, I haven't read the last 800 or so strips nearly as many times as the earlier ones.

Oops. Poll was destroyed. :(

Honestly I wouldn't have had an issue with the wedding arc ending with them making out, because there was a realistic build up to the moment. We all presumed it was going to happen once Claire decided to go, and the Jeph faked us out with the last panel. Or if after the wedding Martin talked things out with Steve, Faye, Tai, and maybe Hanners, before deciding to make an awkward move. But the last year or so of the comic did not have any real feel of a build towards Marten/Claire, what with the one-night-stand arc and Emily's crush on Marten. It honestly feels as if Jeph decided to suddenly change course here within the last month or so - and did so in a way that resulted in Marten not acting in a believable manner for his character. And IMHO it's not up to his normal standards.

Around the wedding arc, I thought Claire wouldn't have been ready. And from my own experience - I've had situations where the time wasn't right, where things didn't seem to be going anywhere, life went on, I got crushes on other people, maybe even relationships, and then at some later point that derailed flirt/whatever got revisited and developed further. I don't think this is too uncommon, either.
Aimless:
This is not OOC. This is how people are. Sometimes they do things on their own without making it everyone else's business, even if that's supposed to be their MO. They change on their own, they have their own private thoughts and feelings, they sometimes take unexpected leaps etc etc. I have seen it in my own life and among my friends in a long string of "huh? when did that happen?"-events, and for me this feels like a natural and believable development that was teased back at the wedding. It's been there a while and now they're both aware of it. People change. I hope Jeph doesn't just stomp on it by forcing Marten to take a dozen steps back, but, even if he were to do that, I have no doubt this is how Marten will eventually find twue wuv.
