Only rereading just now did I notice (a) Liz hugging herself because she's cold in panels 2 & 3, and (b) Marten nonchalantly giving her his hoodie between panels 3 & 4. Who knew Marten had such reserves of Dad Energy?

William Cole

Also, I guess that hoodie is hers now.

Daniel Whitcomb

Ok, but like. Dad Marten is like... kinda doing it for me, NGL.

Joseph Bonnar

By the way, Jeph, the page seems to be running perfectly. Er, Marten and Elizabeth ARE supposed to be upside down, right? :)

HIS SHIRT SAYS "EH"!!!

Covox

The Earth without art is just EH.

Marten totally saw that shirt in the airport and bought it despite the airport mark-up. Claire protested, but gave in when she saw how happy it made him.

If you were to "upgrade" to prosthetic arms, wouldn't *you* splurge on the model with integrated auxiliary heating elements?

Bagge

I LOVE how on top of all of it Marten is. He has seen Liz' bullshit a million times, but now he isn't part of it. He can parent it.

She's such a little piece of shit. I love her

Onyx

HAH. I really like Liz, the little shit.

Chauncey

Same. Unfortunately, I don’t think Claire will be so keen on giving him up.

Ah this point of the party, convincing the new person “no seriously, this is where you should stop”

Mad Marie

Jeph: it uploaded fine, except that your Canadian autocorrect algorithm removed the “T” from Marten’s shirt.

Ted Van Roekel

Nice to see someone else who has lots of Dad energy and almost ZERO Daddy energy.

If she wants recreational cannabis then Claire should invite her mom to stay. Then Lizzie can experience Claire taken to the next level and get stoned at the same time.

It took me a moment to realize that wasn't the usual shirt. Kinda want an EH shirt, especially since it also works as an acronym for my families company.

It is disappointing to find out that the IETF is still arguing about IPv6 extension headers in the time of the AIs.

That's how they will end up with a pet Capybara. Then name him "Galaxy".

Okay so.... her arms are cold? Aren't her arms mechanical?

That pose is typically taken by people having a crisis, like realizing they fucked up and now nobody likes them (regardless of the truth of the situation) it's the standing version of being curled up in the fetal position. The jacket is not meant to warm her up, but to surround her. Like a warm hug, it can help assuage those feelings. It's why weighted blankets are so popular for people with chronic anxiety.

Thinking about it ... the arms would be colder the further from the attach point, and would suck heat out of her little stumps unless they had auxiliary heaters, which would be a big energy drain. Especially outside in the spring at night in Canada. Not sure a hoodie will help much, but therapy might, Liz.

Shawn Spencer

Well that makes sense. Although in-world the Goblin may not have anyone liking her but clearly tons of fans here love her lol.

Shawn Spencer

Allan - I don't think she'd be able to feel cold in mechanical arms though. I mean why even add that feature? Since they aren't warmed naturally, they'd literally ALWAYS feel cold unless the temp was 97f out.

Yelling Bird

Love Marten's new shirt.

Carlos Nascimento

A special nugget on that scene (which I might have missed if I still lived in a country with great weather, but like Marten and Jeph, I moved to Canada 😅) is that he had his jacket outside and hung it at the omnipresent coat hanger (in the gutter between panels 3 and 4) like we always do, but Liz (between being in a crisis, having mechanical arms and just being nonconformist) was outside without a jacket, but grabbed it to get inside 😁

This is martens true gift being able to befriend just about anybody

On the plus side, inclusivity has been massively enhanced by non-sentient "AI" LLMs, which allow even terminally shy people to interact vicariously with the IETF Struldbrugg overlords...

Carol Metzger

Marten just keeps getting cuter. Maybe it's the fluffy hair.

Anonymous

I think unheated mechanical arms would feel cold and lower my body temp.

This day has been 4 months long.... BUT SO WORTH IT!!!!

Mad Marie

I’m starting to wonder if it’s always said “EH”, and it’s only recently that he’s managed to finally remove that old T stain.

Steve H

I just thought of something. In times of crisis where the Liz-ard is trapped they can sever the connection of limbs to make a speedy escape. But only the arms unfortunately.

Mad Marie

perhaps more…I mean, maybe that’s how she lost the original arms?

Mad Marie

Marten has learned that, unlike the US, Canada doesn’t afford its citizens an explicit right to bare arms.

Wayne Farmer

Marten is being quite the gentleman, loaning his hoodie to someone who just threw up. If Marten wasn't already in a committed relationship, would we all be talking about the pros and cons of a Marten / Liz relationship, and warning Marten to run away?

Ursus Ridens

Jeph is with you: the point of the whole arc so far has been just to let you produce that groaner.

Afunnythinghappedtome

I keep having this weird mashup in my mind of Marten and a character called King of the Silver River, who sometimes helps travelers,kinda an elven Big Lebowski carrying a lantern
