Tell Me What I Want To Hear

MARTEN MARTEN MARTEN FAYE OVERALLS LOVE

Graph paper boy does well.

Fortunately for you the feeling is mutual. Unfortunately for you all of the feelings are mutual...

Patrick Jackson

Martin is a good egg.

Clifton Royston

I also hope she does not retreat to the bottle. Secondly, because of the harm it would do Faye and all around her. But primarily for the agony it could cause Bubbles. In any relationship lurks the question of how does the loved one value you (if at all). The idea that someone was so distressed at having feelings for you that they ran away into the bottle .... I can only imagine how that would hurt someone whose soft centre peeps out from under her armour so rarely and warily.

Bob Ellis

As you should.

Mark

In all seriousness, I really hope she does not turn to the bottle for guidance. Neither Jim Beam, Johnnie Walker or Jack Daniels offer sagely wisdom.

David Paul

Who knows, in a few weeks, it might even be time to get the Arbor Day banner out again...

Thomas Boys

Actually, the Prophecy was fulfilled when Bubbles donned the Mask of the Skullmaster but that's a different arc.

Ben Russell-Gough

MMM. Yes. The fulfilling of the prophecy is here.

Dylan T

Question: Is 'Dang it!' Faye's equivalent of the immortal 'D'Oh!'?

Ben Russell-Gough

Faye's lines in panel 3 are what we all say when our lives suddenly take a sudden turn. It's never true though, so Marten didn't need any special insight to say so. The status quo can never stand for too long.

Ben Russell-Gough

"Shoot toast at her."

Now ask Pintsize for advice.

Bagge

When Faye uses contractions I read her dialogue in a Georgia accent.

YES. PROCESS FEELINGS. DO IT.

Stoodmuffin

me too

Stoodmuffin

Heh - Bubbles back in the shop does this just now, and is like.... what the?

Andrew

(Marty calls Claire): “tell the t-shirt printer it’s a go!”

Andrew

and I hadn't thought about it until you said so... thanks...

Matt

... for all these strips, I've been wondering if Faye was wearing a shirt under the overalls or not. o.O

Am Queue

Does Bubbles have a tongue? Or does she just speak through a speaker system? I'm not sure I've ever paid attention.

Mitchell Sealy

Marten, I am so fucking proud of you!!

Mandy Hoskins

The crazy thing is that they used to be a will-they-won't-they thing that just... never happened.

dipique

Welcome aboard the good ship Fayebles, I'm Captain Boodie, please make yourself comfortable whilst we navigate unfamiliar waters.

Denise Webber

Scrunchy-faced Faye is best Faye.

Duke

Go Marten! :D

If Jeph doesn't devote next comic to Claire doing some sort of Force-esque, "Yeeaaasssss, I can sense things are all going as I have foreseen," then I will be sad.

Erin Moriarty

Pouty Faye is adorable!

Nicholas Lopez

I did not think that was where you were going with that, lol

Erin Moriarty

Dude it's so crazy how much progress the two of them have made.

Erin Moriarty

*FWEEEEEEE*

darklion

Now, given that we know robots can have tongues (last bonus comic, it is CANON), we can hope for serious face sucking noises soon.

Oh, he might not have, but I wanna bet SPOOKY BOT could do it... oh yeah...

And then Marten goes off and tells Claire, who responds, “Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen!”

Will Weaver

tongues and gropings also need to be administered... For research. to find feelings... that Faye may/may not have. Research.

YES MARTY

Danya Michael

Shut up you shippers! Shut it! You KNOW this can't possibly work until Faye gets a jack installed. Which I don't think HannerDad has yet invented. Edit: That said, Faye really should call her sister and her partner.

BobC

Brilliantly done. Not only was Martin honest with Faye, but he did it in such a way that HE DID NOT GET PUNCHED!

Marten is my hero. Those two have come a long way separately and in their friendship with each other. Now he can go tell Claire Faybles is all but a go.

Celine Chamberlin

Specifically, they need to be addressed on the mouth. With your mouth. Kissy-style

Fart Captor

Go Marten!

Tom B

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
