And different eye colour, as was said at the start of the discussion. But yeah, she's just a background character of no significance.

DSL · « **Reply #251 on:** 16 Dec 2011, 16:02 »

All unidentified female background characters areSweet-tits, except the ones who are not.

Also, Elliot(t) is starting to remind me of Moose from the Archie comics. Marten does not remind me of Reggie, whom Moose usually beat up. Padma has black hair, as does Moose's girlfriend Midge, who was usually the reason Moose beat Reggie up.

I should not be thinking about this.

Marten is too nice, and too broke, to be Reggie.(I think Reggie had money, but I could be wrong.)

I tried raising my hand to high-five position after reading this comic and I can see how from straight on it might look like your fist is clenched. Unless you've actively opened your hand before you started raising it, otherwise just relaxed it might be loosely closed. Plus yeah, background does highly suggest it's just what Marten's seeing.

Though the smile on Elliot's face in the third panel looks so funny with the closed fist.

I've been misunderstood. I was not saying the girl in Friday's comic was the same as the little red-headed girl (who is not Sweet-tits), but rather using the redhead for comparison, as a background character that had settled in. By comparison, this new girl has not yet settled in.

Early redheaded sightings;

(anyone got others? It should keep us busy this weekend...)

Neither of these predate Sweet-tits, and yes there's a resemblance, but I still maintain that, like yelling bird, Sweet-tits is meta and can't appear in-comic.

Here's a thought: The background, short haired redhead is actually a government operative, working for whatever outfit Alan Turing works for. She's keeping watch on Marten and Pintsize because the government is still worried about Pintsize's chassis. Or perhaps they're worried about what Marten's mom might have told him. After all she seems to have some important people as clients, people who shouldn't be saying certain things.

I'm pretty sure Jeph has called that girl Sweet-tits before. And 2031 is a very obvious in-joke. At this point, it sounds like Watsonian desperation...

Personally I think Elliot knows about Marten and Padma. She goes into work and announces to Elliot and/or Renee that she is staying for a couple more weeks. She's asked why and just blurts it out (because we all know how well Padma's filter works...). As far as Elliot's greeting to Marten, I think he feels comfortable enough around him to mess with him a little.

Carl-E · « **Reply #260 on:** 16 Dec 2011, 23:35 »

Elliott's not the type to intentionally mess with someone.

Mabe he's just being [ahem] the bigger man...

I'm Sorry. Really, I mean... sorry...

fire n ice · « **Reply #261 on:** 17 Dec 2011, 00:37 »

From what we've seen of Elliot, yes, I agree with you completely. But it's possible that he acts completely socially awkward toward people he doesn't know enough, but once you gain his trust and he's comfortable, he opens up (pretty much the way I am).

In any case, that's just my theory. I guess we'll all find out soon enough

Hah! You're not sorry one bit, even though you really should be. Also, does Elliot really seem like 'Bro' material to you? Steve would high-five Marten for that, yes, but Elliot?

On the other hand, a "Your plan worked, Muad'dib!" high-five seems bekevabkle. Except perhaps the 'Muad'dib' part. Elliot's probably not that much into Dune.

I meant "believable," but damn, that's one awesome typo. It really should mean something.

Jeph is an avowed admirer of Charles Schulz. So my guess is that, if there is a red-haired girl who keeps showing up in the background, she is actually Marten's dream girl. Only unlike Charlie Brown's red haired girl, whom he sees but we don't, Marten's red-haired girl is seen by the audience but not by him. Unlike Charlie Brown who is doomed to always love from afar, Marten is doomed to always walk right past his ideal woman while pursuing an unending parade of relationships that are ultimately unworkable.

I do too, but it's too symmetric to be likely...

Still, that is quite an elegant interpretation. Very good

I like Eliot very much. He's a gentle giant* to the core. Oh so gentle. He may even beat Marten in terms of kindness.

* You can curse me all you like for linking to TVTropes, as long as you include the word "covoluted" in your post. I love this word.

I prefer the interpretation that Elliot is high-fiving Marten because he isn't wearing pants.

Same. Otherwise, he's taking the pants-lackage in stride.

#2081 absolutely clearly and completely unambiguously states: "I wanted to congratulate you for, uh, getting together with Padma."
