comicalArchitect:
Maybe our next strip, or one coming relatively soon, will be Marten and Claire talking about their conversations with Faye and Bubbles and putting two and two together.
TheEvilDog:
Can't see this backfiring in any way shape or form. :roll:

--- Quote from: pwhodges on 02 Nov 2017, 16:41 ---Conflict doesn't always lead to an ending - it can lead into a period of learning, reassessment, and reconciliation, leading to a renewed and possibly strengthened relationship. In other words: growth.
History can take us only so far - the characters (and Jeph!) have come a long way since the early days of the comic; and older characters can be expected to react differently from their younger selves..

I would certainly agree with you were any other characters involved but considering that Marten is directly involved, I'm going to have to disagree. There have been multiple discussions at length about Marten and the fact that he hasn't shown any growth, because he's never had to. He's flittered with choices, hummed and hawed about decisions, but ultimately the Marten of 2017 is still largely the same as Marten of 2003 and the Marten of 2010. That's Marten's role, to serve as the universal constant while everyone changes and grows around him.
I imagine that the hair is just the beginning as Claire and Faye spend more time sharing the apartment with both of them radically different personalities and how they deal with people. Add to that that while both of them care about Marten, neither Claire or Faye are that friendly towards each other.
If things do get worse and they go to Marten, I get the feeling that Claire will be the loser by a wide margin.

I have to say that you're drawing a very long bow from perfectly-normal-roomie-quibble -> major conflict -> them deciding to get Marten involved of all people -> Marten choosing one side over the other. They are all pretty significant leaps.
As much as we all love to see a nice juicy bit of drama.
Actually, the most likely leap is the getting-Marten-involved bit, and that's because he's actually calm and clear-eyed in such situations. Regardless of his inability to grow himself.
Neko_Ali:
Geeze Faye. If you keep feeding Claire things like that she's going to burst.
Mojo:
Oh, geez. She's going to try hooking Faye up with Steve, isn't she?
