Enchanted Armor

Marten being the responsible and mature one. Cubetown is truly a magical place.

William Cole

I wish my therapist served espresso!

Holly Nelson

Marten is already a counsellor, has been from nearly the beginning. I bet he is a large part of why the Director wanted Claire. A two-for-one deal, and much needed.

Todd Ellner

Even Chaos Goblins quail before the Librarian wielding the Mom Jabbar

awgiedawgie

Even if we DID know what her preference was, that doesn't mean that we can't fantasize about her being with whomever we want.

Joe

grimoire armoire.

Todd Ellner

Chaos. Her preference is chaos

Daryl Sawyer

Neither armor nor armour, but armoire. :p

Chris Crowther

I don't think we even know what Liz's preference is. Beyond an small obsession with large boobs.

Ursus Ridens

Can't we find Liz someone of suitable age -- I visualize a guy -- with deep wells of sympathy and patience? Liz + Winslow 4EVA! OTOH, if Liz does start fixating on Marten, it will be an opportunity for a _really_ awkward triangle situation, and something Marten's never before had to handle.

Ursus Ridens

Sure, look at all the sympathetic counseling provided by the staff at Coffee of Doom!

Creeperkry

I remember Worry Hat!

Hugh Eckert

Why not both? Both is good.

Hugh Eckert

"Appleboom!" "Titties!" continues to be my favorite exchange from QC and will never not make me giggle.

CaseyAEC

Look at Martin using the worry hat trick and getting another smile. Man's still got it. If it weren't for what it would do to him, I'd say he should become a counselor. That said, a barista at a popular hang spot can serve the same function, with greater liberties. (I wish my therapist could "whoa, no more negative vibes!" me)

Summer Sudbrink

And possibly his liver.

Ruth Merriam

Best Boi Forever.

Laura Curry

Martin is the absolute BEST.

allanfranta

"but his spleen grew 2 sizes."

Jimmy Thorsell

aye, im soooo shipping Liz and Evan!!! (once apologies from Liz have been uttered that is)

Shawn Spencer

And Marten never got his hoodie back ever again.

Summer Sudbrink

I feel like she’s going to start flooding with research ideas soon. I hope the bar has whiteboards.

hollowsoul

I am allowed to dislike it though? Or do you have more opinions about a stranger you want to share?

Mrpink

Lots of people. It sounds like it's news to you, but everyone's tastes are different. Keeping that in mind will probably make life easier for you =p

Stephen Wells

Everybody please stop worrying about Liz getting a crush on Marten. Her fire burns only for huge robot boobs.

Ralf Paul

"Thanks for offering Marten, gum would be perfection!"

OldGoat

Careful Marty, she may take it into her goblin head that she's in love with you.

OldGoat

Or be ultra-retro and go with horehound. (That weird old fashioned cough drop flavor.)

A correct heretect

Daniel Jarrett

Wintergreen is where its at

hollowsoul

Well yes? And?

Orion Rhine

Heretic!

hollowsoul

Spearmint? I always wondered who the hell bought that soapy synthetic flavour.

darklion

Didn't the hoodie comfort another character a while back? Faye?

Leak

That pocket better be a bag of holding.

Lisa

Brilliant move, Marten. I'm not 100% sure he did it on purpose, but he probably did. Liz takes joy in being petty and being right, so he distracted her from her wallowing by giving her something silly to correct him about.

Thomas Ruecker

Worry Hat!

Captain Button

Well, he did a great job in that Magical Love Gentleman cosplay...

David Paul

He just needs the Restful Trackie Dacks (you'd call them sweatpants over there), the Comforter Gloves, and the Ugg boots of Warmth and he'd have the Chillaxing Armour Set.

Yelling Bird

Marten really is a magical anime guy.

Chris Crowther

On the plus side, she does have enough self awareness to recognise that she was being an arsehole.

George Wirth

First the worry hat, now the chill hoodie.

Hawkeye

I need a Magical Hoodie of Chill. It shall give +10 to chill and +5 to sneak in addition to +9 coziness for those Netflix and chill evenings. (Wait. I might be doing those wrong…)

Captain Button

Unearthly visions?

Bagge

Big brother/daddy Marten is doing right

jimbo

yay, Marten's magic hat is reincarnated as a magic hoodie

Mad Marie

I definitely have mystical powers of Netflix.

Thisguy

Anything that spends a significant amount of time in Marten’s presence gains the “chill” property. It’s why Claire can stand working here.

Captain Button

Does Mystical Powers of Chill stack with a Netflix bonus?

Thisguy

You might call it a Canadian Joke, I call it the correct way of spelling it. (Australian Btw) Considering how much I use the word in online games, it REALLY annoys me how every spellcheck tells me I’ve spelt it wrong.

Thisguy

Cheer up. LOTS of people can’t party without being huge Aholes.

Hope

He's such a Good Dad

Captain Button

So it knocks you unconscious?

Sean Kinlin

"You mean I can knock someone unconscious with it?"

ValdVin

"It's BlackJack gum." "You mean I can go to the casino and--" "Noooo, not that kind of blackjack."

Michael Boettger

Panel three: concerning the cuppa Tim Hortons, does the bag have tidbits on it?

Grace Kieser

I think Claire has gotten more chill about her relationship. She knows he's not going to cheat on her because that's not how the Marten do!

Grace Kieser

She's my type of cynical!

The Secret Sponsor

Hopefully Liz doesn't develop an attraction to Marten, cause then I could see Claire start to reconsider the job. At this point, Evan almost exposed herself to Marten, so adding more shenanigans on top of that could make Claire develop a complex.

Diptych

Liz has severe rationalist brain and is unable to recognise encouraging whimsy.

Gary Sumners

No need to invoke Armour, neither is a ham.
