--- Quote from: BenRG on 08 Feb 2015, 23:42 ---That aside, there is a teenage feel to this exchange that makes me think that Marten is new to emotional intimacy. Although he is sexually experienced, that was mostly physical with the added benefit of friendship.

New Relationship Energy can make anyone feel young again. Marten and Dora were totally head over heals when their relationship was new, and he's described the first months of his relationship with Vicky in glowing terms.

I'm always amazed at how quickly people edit the past to declare things like "Marten was never in love with Dora, see how he acts with Claire" (I think this was in another thread), while ignoring that they absolutely had similar chemistry near the beginning of them dating.

I think the new page layout Jeph uses contributes to this a bit. While we got to see Marten and Dora being intimate with each other on various occasions, the old layout zoomed out a little, so we had some distance between us and the characters. Now the new page style gives Jeph an opportunity to get super close with everyone, so a kiss between Marten and Claire looks a hell of a lot more intimate than any that occurred between Marten and Dora. I doubt Monday's strip would have worked nearly as well if Jeph was still using the old vertical layout.

Yeah, I shouldn't have worded it that way. I just meant that she's going need to find somewhere to channel her energy/frustration/hurt that isn't the bottle, and her art is one solution. She's got a tough road ahead.
And I do hope she makes things up to Pintsize. He hasn't been too concerned about the issue of AI civil rights, but I imagine this forced shutdown (if Faye did it to keep him from stopping her) might just make him reconsider his stance and maybe demand a chassis with more autonomy.

Sadly Asuka (your avi, for those who don't know) can only dream of such a romance, whether with Kaji (some hope!) or Shinji.
