Penquin47:
Marten could help with Allie because the one time Dora met one of Marten's exes Faye threw milk on her expensive sweater. It did not become a problem in their relationship.
Dora shutting down and not talking? Problem in their relationship. Very different thing to be talked to about.

Both are fine hats that people need to get over.
Especially given how many of the girls who complain about them are now sporting this christ-awful sideways-mullet that looks ugh on the insanely hot and puke on anyone less than that.

Excuse you side mullets are awesome.

Is this the girls version of being into my little ponies?
Wait no, the ponies cartoon is still cute, and not ugly.

Disagree on the first count, agree on the second: this is a significant shift in the usual Marten outlook, but I wouldn't say it's a dickish shift. He's starting to realize that, hey, as it turns out, some things he just can't fix, no matter how much he stresses out about them. What could he accomplish sticking around for this particular conversation?
Most likely? In reality? Making things worse.
Given how his relationship with Dora ended, the relationship (personal and professional) he has with Tai, the fact that Marten has zero experience with relationships between women (obviously?), complications with Faye only the day before, and so on, and so on, backing out of this soon-to-be-disaster is the only choice that makes any kind of sense.
Could he have done it without a sentence-interrupting unblinking stare? Sure, but hey, comic.
explicit:
I really think that's it. Yeah, it'd be more prudent and nice of him to say, "sorry I don't think I should get involved because [reasons]", but that's not very funny.
TRVA123:
Yeah, its funny as a comic.
But imagine if you were Tai, and you got that reaction to asking for relationship help. She's probably freaking out more now, and maybe giving this even more significance than she was before because Marten's reaction was so extreme.
I mean, heck, Marten could have said "yeah, I've got nothing that can help, but I'm pulling for ya!" given her a hug and left.
instead he chose the method that makes Tai feel like more shit than she already felt like, a bigger pile of shit.
I hope tomorrows comic has him coming back in and being all "okay, I was joking, now lets talk"
