Anyone else wondering if we're ever gona get to see him in the comic? I'm curious as to what parts of Marten's physical appearance come from him.

I feel like we haven't seen him because it'd be too easy for Jeph to accidentally slip into gay stereotypes with that character. Also, whenever I've imagined him I picture him looking nothing like Marten. Probably because he looks like he gets all his looks from his mother.

Actually, I just realized I imagined someone who looked surprisingly like his former boss. And then I realized, all of Marten's bosses in the comic have been homosexual. This is an interesting phenomenon. Perhaps he tries to think of his bosses as somewhat of a parental figure? So his next boss will be a dominatrix. Or maybe Tai secretly is.

Jeph didn't exactly fall into rampant stereotyping with Marten's bosses.

Marten's old boss IS his dad! It all falls into place now. But Veronica used her dominatrix powers to wipe Marten's memory and made him forget.
