sitnspin:
Literature camp sounds awesome, actually, even without the pot.
Is it cold in here?:
Didn't Marten act distressed when his mom talked about booty calls with younger men?
sitnspin:
To be fair, Marten has a long history of having his mom be sexualised and objectified by his peers.

In uncomfortably (for him) explicit detail, yes. IIRC, it was more the detail than the mere fact that discomfited him.

--- Quote from: themacnut on 11 Apr 2018, 15:18 ---So Clinton's middle-aged mom gets more play than her son, and this is revealed not long after one of the women he's interested in just walks home without him. Yep, the stereotype of the more-or-less likable loser is being set up quite nicely for this guy.

I don't think that the mere fact that his mother happens to be getting laid when he's not makes him a "loser."
Sometimes I get the impression that the comic and forums are in a constant state of amazement at the revelation that "old" people have sex.

Yes, this. Also calling Clinton a “loser” is premature. He isn’t sure what to do about Brun, whom he’s interested in, and Brun’s mind is wired differently, so she doesn’t handle possible attraction the same as someone with more usual wiring. Also Elliott is clearly attracted to Clinton, and we don’t know for sure that Clinton might not feel the same way
towards Elliott, and that something might not happen there.
I’d call Clinton more of a late bloomer than a loser.
