4107?

And that is a highly relevant callback.

--- Quote from: Tova on 28 Jul 2020, 18:42 ---what is perceived as slapstick and what is perceived as abuse is definitely in the eye of the observer.
--- End quote ---
Slapstick is a piece of literature by Kurt Vonnegut (purportedly funny) corporal abuse.

--- Quote from: chris73 on 28 Jul 2020, 18:28 ---like how Bubbles and Marten got acquainted in 3058 and compare that to how she interacts with everyone else (also 3338)
--- End quote ---
you mean like in 3064 and 3065?
--- End quote ---
In Bubbles' defense, "hup ermf" is a terrible opening line.
--- Quote from: Farideh on 28 Jul 2020, 18:43 ---I'm bowing out of the conversation now, since the comics are open to personal interpretation, and I don't want it to evolve into "my opinion is correct, and yours is wrong!" That's how (flame)wars get started.
--- End quote ---
Your opinion about there being only one possible right opinion is wrong. Good heated arguments breed mutual understanding.
Hi ho.
--- Quote from: Tova on 28 Jul 2020, 18:40 ---Faye confronted him with the reality of how he was acting out, and Marten was in fact mature enough, in spite of being angry, to recognise the truth of what Faye was saying to him.
--- End quote ---
Faye told Marten that Marten should have accepted Padma's invitation, despite Padma pushing Marten away. I opine that Marten's mistake was not telling Padma why Marten would rather not meet with Padma.
--- Quote from: Gnabberwocky on 28 Jul 2020, 13:13 ---That isn't Marten's fault for getting angry, it's Dora's for not knowing how to say sorry and de-escalate.
--- End quote ---
Dora invaded Marten's privacy. That's a contemptible act. An act that Marten could have precluded by encrypting his data. Was Marten's anger appropriate?
Mad Cat:
Brassier, crying towel, it's such a fine line, really.
Even if May doesn't have any tear ducts.
chris73:
--- Quote ---She was obviously deeply unhappy in that situation, there's not much more to say about that. It had nothing to do with Marten. And in 3338, he was just being timid (just as Claire says in panel one).
--- End quote ---
No I'm talking first meeting. look at panels 5 & 6 in 3058 and do you really think its Martens fault for being "timid" in 3338
Ok try this then, change Martens gender to female and change Faye, Bubble, Tai and Dora to male then look at their interactions again and tell me its all ok

--- End quote ---
I think it was. Marten actually addresses that in panel three of this comic. It's not about the actual subject of the argument, it's about the fact that Dora breached his trust. He shouldn't have had to encrypt anything, because he told Dora not to look, but she did anyway, and that's what led to the breakup.
