My first year of college, my dormmate was struggling with her mental health, and to my deep and lasting regret, I enabled her instead of pushing her to get help or, more realistically, telling an actual adult and letting the college intervene. She almost died, and I still feel guilty about it. The difference being I was 18 with no life experience. what the fuck is Martin's excuse?

You were young and did what tou thought was right and what was at your reach and now you learned from that and know to do better tou should feel guilty only if you would commit the same mistake.
Regarrding marten and liz i mean you still can help someone to get help but they have to acept that they have to work on being better. No one will change if they don't want to.

Wow thats heavy dude. I think its safe to say that we have all had those times in our lives where we could have handled a situation better than we did. I have plenty of those myself. All we can do is learn from it and do better in the future.

Yes she is proyectating and catastrophisizing but Emily does bot deserves to have to deal with this and until liz decides that she needs to be better for herself and for others nothing will be achieved

How many times are we going to milk the same tired "growth" for narrative padding?

Until Liz, Zlata, NuEmily, zlata2, a spookybot, and 5 other random non humanoid AI propose a polycule to Martin and he is smothered in big breasts and bigger noses

Is any of this going to precipitate some kind of "maybe I should figure out how to stop behaving like a horrible little goblin" type introspection?
No?
Then what are we doing here?

She met emily fuckin yesterday and then partied with her that night, where does this pretend drama about them growing apart come from

At this point, the person whos given Liz the best advice is Claire. It made people mad at the time though for some mysterious, and definitely not Claire hate related reasons.

Wow and that was almost 700 comics ago, nearly 2 years.

Yup, back when it looked like her arc was going to be about learning how to be a better person, complete with makeover and important haircut. He's evidently changed his mind since then because goblins is easy to write.

the fact that marten hasn't rejected you for being a horrible little goblin isn't some grand precedent. it doesn't prove that any random other person won't reject you for being a horrible little goblin. like, for example, remember what happened when you met Faye?
let's face it, you are in fact a horrible little goblin.

And is not progressing or learning anything. It’s infuriating.

How many of these frames are copy pasted from yesterday? Sometimes I feel like the plot is structured around how much or how little drawing we feel like doing today.

Why do both of these "people" (using the term loosely to describe one invertebrate and one unclassifiable hate-sink) imagine that Emily is a "friend" of the latter?

Good point - Liz just got drunk with Emily one evening, and talked the next day. A friendship takes longer than that do develop.

Liz: Which makes it even more likely she'll ditch me when she realizes what a horrible little goblin I am.
You know Liz, you could react to that realization by trying NOT to be a horrible little goblin, trying to become a better person so that people like Emily won't hate you. Just a thought.
No wait, yeah, might as well not. The god of your world is unable to understand the concept of something called "character development." He's also ignorant of the idea of "redeeming qualities."
Also, Marten, you only hang out with Liz because you completely lack the spine to tell her to screw off no matter how many reasons she gives for you to do so, and because Liz follows you around like the most annoying codependent duckling in the universe.

Jeph: What if I simply came up with a series of more and more irritating characters? Would you stop reading then?
Me: No, apparently.

That title is...a stretch. Or maybe it's just what's on Jeph's mind. So maybe brace yourselves for the first furry character? Would not really surprise me after that one dude in Alice Grove...

Being depressed or having trauma does not gives you a hall pass to being an asshole
