Why would Marten care about his mom living with a man who is not his father when his dad is living with a man who is not his father?  :psyduck:

By Veronica's own admission at the wedding, she hasn't been outside of the bondage/fetish scene in a long time, and didn't know how to meet people outside of it. This is likely the first non-client relationship she's had since Henry. She has no personal reason to believe that Marten would take issue with it, but due to her unfamiliarity with her own circumstances, she's making sure to ask, just in case. After being in the line of work she was in for so long, I imagine she often overcompensates with polite questions in her day-to-day interactions at times. Her accidentally slipping into her "dom-voice" when talking with Claire at the wedding might be an example of why she'd do that.

I got the sense alcohol was key in that whole thing happening. Any case, it's still something most parents would do, I think, telling their child about this. If she didn't actually look kinda concerned, I'd say the 'asking him' was just a courtesy, not actually important.

I think what's happening here is Veronica's unsure if she wants to do it, which I think is what you were saying, Neurocase, before I cut all the relevant parts to make a point about something unimportant. She's not asking for permission, she's mostly just saying it out loud to decide if it's what she really wants. Some people do that, I know I do, voice vague questions like that because I'm unsure.

St.Clair:

Saying something out loud definitely helps some people.  Along those lines, I've heard it suggested that the real value of a coin as a decision-making device is that, when it's in the air, you become more aware of any latent desire for it to fall one way or the other.

New comic!

I laughed at the last line (and then wondered what her singing range is).

Also:

I feel for Faye, yes I do.

I am absolutely certain that magazine already exists, though perhaps not with that title.

neurocase:
Manga Studio has really done wonders for the strip. Jeph's art has been looking streets ahead of late.
