WCDT strips 4421-4425 (21-25th December 2020)

BenRG:
So, this poll was suggested by Marco in last week's WCDT and I liked it so much that I decided to adopt it and post it. All credit to them for the original idea though!

You know, I don't know if I'm the only one but I got tired of the worn-out 'joke' (mostly appearing on the subreddits but starting to spread to here) to laugh about Marten being 'a new character' or 'who is that guy who looks like Dora?' Really, I think that the first  thousand times were enough. In an attempt to help the forum get out of its collective system, I thought that we could semi-seriously talk about Marten and how to view him in today's QC. Feel free to give joke answers, if you must. :-P

As for me, I remember when he was the main character in the strip and his adventures (and misadventures) making the transition from college graduate to stable adult were one of the things that originally attracted me to Questionable Content. That said, I'm no nostalgia addict and I understand that Jeph and the themes of the strip have moved on from him. That said, you'll excuse me if I remember the 'good old days'. (Wanders off, muttering about how music was so much better when I was younger.)


[EDIT]

Bringing back an old character because you haven't got any new ideas. See also: "Phoenix, Multiple resurrections of (The X-Men)"

DaiJB:
"Other" (One way or another, I'm gonna make this a tradition)  :-D :

Marten is the guy who wakes up late one day, after sleeping off a bender after being laid off from his dead-end job. He then realizes that he has dreamed his entire life since that point in time.
He then says 'Hey, that makes a pretty good story', writes it all down and sells it to a budding cartoonist named Jeph Jacques, before heading back to California to study guitar maintenance and repair...
