He is living in a rented shared apartment, I don't think he as the money needed to start a business or pay employees.
Worth of mocking? No. Worth of "WTF are you thinking?"? Yes.
it works in context. running your own coffee shop is hard. dora's been doing it for years, and we've seen that she's only ever scraping by and making it up as she goes, even though she works hard at it, sometimes to the negligence of her own wellbeing.
marten has never been that gungho about anything in his life. he is extremely passive, while being a small business owner is entirely about being active.
what's gonna happen is that he'll be influenced into doing something he cares more about, and that he can do more passively. guitar shop, guitar lessons.
The coffee shop will be I'm cubetown, where everyone is zany and incompetent, so it'll be impossible for him to fail at it. Marten's passion of coffee is irrelevant: throughout the comic, the coffee shop has existed just as a meeting place and a place he can put a character when he has no idea what else to do with them
The trick will be that Cubetown is full of idiots who cannot function in the real world but prosper in their walled off techno-communist utopia. He will start the new Tim Hortons
It wasn't even that he was too beta; he was trying to make it work because he knew the only wrench in their relationship was Dora's jealousy, which is something couples CAN work through.
Dora also knows more about what it takes to run a shop so maybe she's reacting to that aspect. Faye I think was more thinking he would good behind the counter, while Dora is probably thinking he's going to hate all the admin shit.
He has 12,300 or so paypigs right now. If they're all at the 1$ tier, we ignore all other revenue streams, and we split revenue evenly among the strips, there are 23 weekdays this month, so he got paid about 530 dollars for this comic.
Opening a coffee shop is worthy of mocking?
Yes, Martin is always worth mocking.
>straight man
>fricking transsexual
words lost meaning
He did say he hates to be the straight man.
He also had a firm policy of "no pee pee in the poo poo" but here we are.
No poo poo on the pee pee.
He has that rule for himself. Nothing about Claires pee pee....

Marten's musical interest was Jephs musical interest, and I don't know that anything's happened on that front in years.

What's the joke or punchline? Nothing happened, she just laughed
Juxtaposing her reaction to Faye's. Faye smiled and supported him, Dora reminded us why Marten got the hell away from her.
That's the face of a man who is going to completely cut her out of his life the moment he moves to Canada.
she dumped him, he was too beta to do it himself
It wasn't even that he was too beta; he was trying to make it work because he knew the only wrench in their relationship was Dora's jealousy, which is something couples CAN work through.
this is bad writing.
>1799
>5222
Excuse me? How do you draw 3000 comic strips and still suck this bad?
Dora just wants the man out of her shop so she can get back to just being with women again.
Oh, and once Clare's gone, Marten too.
Martin is pathetic.
That's....
That's the joke.
That's it.

BITCHES AND prostituteS
Dora knows Marten is too much of a laid back bottom b***h to run a business
I can't believe people pay this man thousands of dollars a month to copy and paste a panel 9 times with no joke

the west has fallen
Where's the FRICKING slime girl
Left on Robutt Island for some ungodly reason. In fact, leaving Robutt Island at all was a mistake.
How do you make a 7/10 character in a sea of sub-3's and then fumble the bag so hard
Marten fumbles Clare's bag all the time
He should be opening a robot girl brothel instead.
where are Faye's fat breasts?
I want one of the robot girls to get pregnant somehow.
