But is Marten a ding? :o
Is the Topatoco shirt new, or do y'all just not know where Jeph sells things? <a href="https://topatoco.com/collections/jeph-jacques/products/qc-robutts" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://topatoco.com/collections/jeph-jacques/products/qc-robutts</a>
Since they're only available for pre-order, I'm guessing they're new.
I know a kid deeply involved in his school's robotics club and I'm just about desperate to buy that shirt for him.
Faye's wearing another shirt I want.
Gotta say that there have been a few times in my life I wish I had Marten's chill about Ex's. Although, it's maybe too much chill.
You almost always need a subject masters to be an academic reference librarian. Claire might have one, but it hasn't been mentioned. She could maybe catalog, run acquisitions, or manage interlibrary loan, though. Or, if she is geeky in that way, she could be an electronic services librarian, and take care of the online catalog, the various databases, any digital archives they might have, the library web site, and so on.
You know, there's always the chance that Claire will become an actual librarian for the school, if there are any actual librarians. Even Tai hasn't seen an actual one. In which case, er, she can be the first? <a href="https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2222" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2222</a>
Actually I think Marten has met one. "old Gus" who he thought was the janitor, was in fact one of the librarians.
HOW DOES THAT SHIRT NOT SAY ROBUTTS?!?!?!
*throws money at screen*
Please, please make that into a real shirt.
What she said.
Why wouldn't Marten stick around to hear Dora's answer, though?
Because, as Faye pointed out, he's bein' a dong. He got all up in his head about this commitment non-issue and just donged right out of the situation at hand.
That didn't help your decision Faye
Would buy that T-shirt.
Pretty sure Marten and Claire have only been dating for like months or something. It's worth asking himself why it's a problem if he's unwilling to commit, at this point in the relationship. They've both been very good for eachother but "pack your bags and move to a new city" is still a level of commitment people often don't reach within say three months time, and there's no shame or disrespect in that. Does the thought concern him because he wants to be more committed to this relationship than that? Because he feels obligated to express a certain level of commitment? Does he think he owes her more than he's given her? No wrong answer, but figuring out exactly what he's hoping to achieve here will help him to figure out how to move forward.
Don't forget, this is a guy who moved across the country for a girl, and then she ghosted him. I'd have second thoughts too.
So Marten is worried that his concerns about leaving his life in Northampton behind means he's not as ready to commit as Tai and Dora. But I think the fact that he's worried about THAT (rather than the prospect of Claire leaving and ending the relationship) means that he's more committed to the relationship than he thinks he is. He's freaking out only because he hasn't considered it before now and leaving Northampton is a real possibility.
Bubbles has a matching shirt with "I like big butts and I cannot lie"
THIS IS NOW CANNON!
This is a very Marten comic
Hey can that be a real shirt
I need that shirt.
because you know she all about dat bass bout dat bass no treble
Listen to Faye. She has experience.
I second the t-shirt need. ...er... I guess I eighth the t-shirt need.
"You dong" is my new favorite insult.
I need that shirt Jeph.
please make the shirt. please! Please. Please?!
do I sense a new shirt in your topato.co store soon?
And then Pintsize... Wait. Where the hell is Pintsize?!?
Probably getting into trouble with one of the depressed nuclear reactors.
is that shirt for sale
OMG Becky, look at that robot. It is so big.
Faye calling Marten a dong is just a big ol' Classic QC mood. I can't stop laughing.
It's like a ding-dong, but slightly less joyful.
He had a whole life someplace else too, and uprooted it for some girl; that turned out pretty well for him. I'm sure Marten will come to the right decision if the situation arises. I'm more worried about Claire potentially being headhunted as a replacement for Marten's own job and that causing conflicted, given prior foreshadowing of her saying he doesn't appreciate how lucky he is to have his role.
Claire is about to earn an MLS (I think). Marten's job doesn't require that degree. The last thing the library would do is put a professional librarian in a non-librarian job.
Faye is a 15/10 friend.
"dong" is so emphatic it ends a sentence. No punctuation needed dong
Faye's response is losing me a little bit. It's been <i>ages</i> since Marten and Dora's relationship has been a subject of drama, why would Faye expect him to be freaking out about that?
because Faye isn't really good with relationships and dealing with them.
Marten, for the love of everything, please stay wholesome.
Yes, yes, Tai popped the question, Marten's seeking assurance, Claire's in a demanding test for something she's passionate about: WHAT IS STEVE DOING, RIGHT NOW?!
Need you ask? 🥣
Also, in panel 3 it looks like steam is escaping from Faye's head. Which would be appropriate...
Normally it would be the neck seam.
that SHIRT
DAMN YOU JEPH! I HAS TO WAIT ALL WEEKEND FOR MAH SHIPS?
My first thought was "I WANT THAT SHIRT!" Then "oooh, plot!"
He really did go to the right place, imho. Faye has been through that conversation and made it out okay.
Yes. Pretty much the exact right person to talk to.
