I think a little of it had to do with the mention of Hanna when talking to Marek. And also a lot to do with your last sentence, those can be powerful emotions.
someone totally called this last comic. we're onto you gran!
it's just a weird turn of phrase. and the bolding made me overthink the emphasis
ok I clearly am missing something because now I cant even make much sense of Jane saying "you're not ON FIRE enough for me to chase you". is there a pun in there?
Yea I think we are going to see the growth that's happened over the last while and Mar will see this episode for one of her weaknesses and theyll address it in a supportive and caring way. maybe even laugh about it all. If they dont then I have been reading this all wrong.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one to comment on old stuff. The Victor saga is truly a work for all time.
I think this is a prime example of Marek's depth that has gone relatively unnoticed. Sure he was rarely the center of the show, but it seems like people often put him in the "adorable boyfriend who everyone likes and is super goofy" category. Instances of anything outside that box, where he shows emotions like dislike or jealousy even, such as the above, are passed over. For a 2-d medium this comic sure feels an awful lot like real life.
I feel like the previous arcs focused on one of the main characters who is tied into the others in various ways. I always got the feeling that Marek was connected only through Hanna and that the bulk of his grad school/game-making character background was just that. It never felt like it was something to be explored more in depth because it was too unrelated to anyone else. But now that he is back in the group it will be interesting to see where his relationships with everyone go. This meeting is definitely pivotal. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Octopus Pie!
The comic before that, the famous "I'm beginning to see the cracks" one, I JUST realized that I had been confusing eve and hanna. Which makes wayyy more sense and is sad for entirely different reasons. When I thought it was Hanna saying that, it was sad in the sense of an unavoidable pain about to be experienced. But with Eve it is something much more profound about the state of the group. Ugh I love this comic. I might have to click the first comic button again.
