--- Quote from: TRVA123 on 04 Feb 2015, 07:06 ---Marten and Claire are together, I am very happy about that and they seem well adjusted. But I've gotten my squees out of my system

No, you haven't. Not yet.
Trust me.

Man, how bad a fanboy do I have to be that just reading you TALKING about the squee makes me wanna squee.

--- Quote from: swapna on 04 Feb 2015, 04:11 ---I'm kind of glad I didn't see 2890 yet, because the Claire/Marten storyline does nothing for me. I've even started to dislike Marten because he's so utterly boring around Claire.
--- End quote ---
I'm in the same boat. The date comics and a lot of their interactions are just a bit too cutesy and saccharine for my tastes. That's not to say I want every conversation to be deep, or for the strip to be filled with nothing but drama, but I'd just like something to cut through the treacle, as it were. As I said, it's just a bit too much for my tastes.
That said, I'm obviously in the minority, so I don't want to be a grumpy malcontent who rains on everyone else's parade. So for those who do love it and can't help but squee...right on, by all means enjoy the hell out of it! We'll just have to agree to disagree on its appeal and awesomeness.

- Veronica possibly moving to Northampton to be with Jim
--- End quote ---
Two questions:
1. I thought Veronica had already moved?
2. How long has it been (in-comic) since Sven's "confession"?
--- End quote ---
1. She has already moved, yes. Her apartment is on Main Street, as I recall. Couldn't find the exact strip for that. Found it.
2. Immediately after second callback Click a few pages.

Count me in the minority dinghy. I mean, I like the relationship well enough, and it has some intriguing aspects that hopefully we'll get some insight on. It's the ridiculously over-the-top gummy gumdrops, rainbows and unicorns aspect that just makes me... ugh. And this coming from someone who reads corny romance novels in her space time.
Warning - while you were typing your diabeetus became more severe. You may want to up your dosage of insulin.

It's still in its early stages. A lot of relationships start out like that. Bitter recriminations happen shortly after marriage.
