--- Quote from: osaka on 05 Nov 2014, 05:52 ---It makes sense that it's a dense bit of story telling, there are at the very least 3 storylines going at the same time right now (QCSS Clarten setting sail to the horizon, Steam Paddler FAngus crashing down Niagara falls, Angus moving to NY and having Marigold looking for roomie). Granted that Marigold's "struggles" are more of a background thing that has just been noted, but this is still a webcomic loosely based on strips and that limits the possible Progress per Unit of Comic (tm)

You're forgetting the most important one - Pintsize and Winslow: Entrepreneurs.

Also, the Svenectomy is still pushed into the background. That could erupt at some point.

NEXT UP: Dilly enters CoD preceeding Sven. Dilly goes straight to Faye. Angus sees everything happen as he approached. Hell breaks lose. This actually happens. (Although the harbringer of nuclear fallout would be Dora, and Pintsize would wear the wedding dress as he always wanted)
HeavyP:
Just weighing in with what appears to be the standard opinion, that I don't see anything particularly odd about the relationship. I've been in a number of relationships of varying lengths and wouldn't have a problem dating someone with little to no experience in that regard (though given how long it's been, I might be equally in need of "figuring things out," or in need of some mental WD-40 at the least). Age gaps don't matter so much, either, I think life experience has more to do with it. For example, while I'd not have a problem dating a 21 year old (I refuse to consider younger, you gotta be able to buy your own hooch, dammit), the likelihood of someone that young matching my level of life experience and/or maturity is pretty low, as is having anything meaningful in common.
In the end, though, as was previously said, the heart wants what it wants, and if you're really into someone, you'll find a way to work through the problems.
Aziraphale:
This is going to sound odd, but experience is overrated. I mean, yes, we learn stuff about ourselves in each relationship we're in, and hopefully we eventually figure out what we want and need out of relationships in that process. But the flip side of that is that huge parts of that experience also has to be checked at the door when you start a new relationship. Somebody hurt you? Okay, be careful next time, but you also need to go in with enough of an open heart and mind to trust that the next time can be different. Communication styles, interests, turn-ons and so much else differs quite a bit from one person to the next, so sometimes the best thing you can do is realize that each new relationship's a blank slate. You've both got a lot to learn about each other, and sometimes what you've experienced and what you know or think you know as a result can hold you back as much as it helps. So the inexperience issue isn't really much of an issue if you approach it right (namely, by realizing that neither one of you knows all there is to know, either about each other or much of anything else).
The same applies in a roundabout way to the age thing. I've known people in their early 20's who had it a lot more together than other people I've known who were decades older than me. As long as it's two consenting adults going in with their eyes open (which certainly applies here), it's up to them to figure out what's right for them.
ReindeerFlotilla:
Experience can be overrated, but inexperience has qualities all its own. It's possible to not want to deal with those qualities.
I'm not saying that applies to Claire. I am saying it is possible for a person to project that stance on to Marten.
Everyone has their own style in these things. Marten is not concerned about that issue in any visible way. That may bite them both, but the fact is, something will. They'll either get past it or they won't. But I can't see this being anything but a good experience for both of them either way.
Marten needs to experience not being passive. Claire really couldn't ask for a better first relationship guy than
Marten. I just don't see the down side.
Endellion:
I smell another dressing montage :claireface:
Although I do wonder where the "we're two library employees and nothing more" rule went, it looks like it's still in working hours.
