Marten Reed[2][3] is one of the main characters of Questionable Content. In fact, as the first person to speak in the comic, it could be argued that he is the main character. He is the only other character besides Faye Whitaker to have appeared in over a third of the strips in the comic.[4]
For a while, he was in a relationship with Dora Bianchi, but he is currently in a relationship with Claire Augustus. Marten is the human companion of Pintsize. He lives with Pintsize, Faye, Bubbles, and Claire at 144 Dwight Street, apartment 22.[5][6] Faye is Marten's best friend.[7]
Biography[]
Background[]
Marten is originally from northern California.[8][9] His parents, who divorced when he was ten,[10] are Henry Reed (a gay nightclub owner) and Veronica Reed (a fetish model and professional dominatrix, known by her stage name, Veronica Vance).[11] His step-father is Maurice Duplantier. Marten is an only child.[12] His only other known relatives are an unnamed uncle[13] and an unnamed grandfather.[14] His mother wanted to name him Marten Tiberius Reed, but his father didn't approve the middle name Tiberius.[3]
Marten was bullied in school[15] and was anxious enough as a child to require a Worry hat. He used to play the clarinet.[16] In high school, Marten was club president of the Dungeons and Dragons club.[2] Judging from his address book, he has not kept up contact with many friends from outside Northampton.[17]
Marten majored in music history and critical theory.[18]
When the comic started, he was working in an office job which he detested and it paid only slightly more than twenty thousand dollars per year.[19] He now works at Smif College's Williston Library, where Tai is his boss.
He has no interest in following his mother into the family business.[20]

Before the comic started, Marten lived in California and moved to Massachusetts to follow his girlfriend Vicky.[8]
Meeting Faye[]
Marten and Steve met Faye in a bar, and immediately she established boundaries.[21] They hung out at Marten's apartment that night.[22]
Faye worked at Coffee of Doom with Sara.[23] Sara and Marten secretly lusted after one another, but both were too shy to actually do anything about it.[24]
One of the first things Marten and Faye did together was visit the Irony Cafe.[25] Shortly thereafter, she asked if she could stay at his apartment because hers burnt down.[26] Sarah found out and was suitably angry until Faye explained that the relationship was purely platonic and that she slept on the couch; but then Sarah had an epiphany and rejected him before she even asked him out.[27]
While Faye occasionally exhibited signs of attraction toward Marten, particularly when drunk,[28][29] and Marten was obviously attracted to her,[30] Faye made it clear she was not interested in a sexual relationship with him.[31][32]
This sexual tension finally ended for good[33]—with Faye explaining her emotional issues regarding the suicide of her father.[34] Shortly thereafter, Marten began dating Dora Bianchi.[35]
When Faye got tired of sleeping on Marten's couch, she suggested they get a larger apartment[36] and they find their current place at 144 Dwight Street[37] apt 22.[5]
Shortly after moving in, Marten's mother, Veronica Reed came to visit,[5] and was outed as the fetish model Veronica Vance when she met Dora.[11] It turned out she had a business meeting with a publisher interested in her memoir.[14] After she left, Faye called the visit the "test of the mom jabbar" (a punny reference to the book Dune).[38]
Faye is Marten's best friend.[1]
Dora[]
Faye introduced Marten to her boss, Dora Bianchi[39] and it was immediately apparent that Dora had a crush on him.[40] When Faye told Dora about an incident where Marten walked in on her while she was changing (even though she was wearing a bra), Dora threatened to and then at earliest opportunity, did flash him.[41][42]
Steve shanghaied Marten into a double date with Dora so that he had a wingman for his first date with Ellen.[43] The date went well enough that Steve gave Marten the signal to leave, so Marten walked Dora home.[44]She invited him in for coffee and they discussed his hot/cold relationship with Faye.[45]
Two days[46] after Faye let Marten down[47], Dora made her move and kissed him.[35] Though he was onboard for the relationship,[48] Dora immediately began questioning whether he was just settling[49][50]; though he told her he was not,[51] this insecurity was part of a theme that ran throughout their relationship.[52][53] Ellen was critical of their relationship starting so soon after "The Talk".[54] Dora also got angry when Marten got a haircut without consulting her first.[55]
Hannelore[]
Marten met Hannelore Ellicott-Chatham in the women's room of a bar when he was too drunk to find the men's room.[56] She invited him to her place for Scrabble ("Sex is for no.").[57] Marten was a bit creeped out when he realized she lived in the same complex as he,[58] and when he realized that she'd been stalking him, he ran to his apartment to grab Faye's taser[59] and zapped himself.[60] Faye came home and began interrogating her, and found out that Hannelore is the upstairs neighbor in apartment 36[61] who vacuums at four in the morning.[62]
Despite the awkward first meeting, Hannelore is a regular fixture in Marten and Faye's apartment, and will often fall asleep on Marten's couch.[63][64][65] Though she obviously has an attraction to Marten,[66][67][68][69] she finds hugging difficult[70][71] and kissing disgusting.[72] Hannelore says Marten and Marigold are her best friends.[73]
Deathmøle[]
When Marten got a tax return check in the mail,[74] he went out and bought a guitar[75] to replace the one he had sold to move out of California.[76]
When Natasha and Amir find out Marten plays guitar, they invited him to jam with them.[77] Natasha names the band Deathmøle.[78] When they decide that they need a drummer,[79] Marten asks Hanners if she wants to learn.[80] She takes to it quickly ("Drumming is counting using your whole body!")[81] and becomes a member of the band.[82]
When Hannelore wins a $2000 bet for Marten against her mom[83], Marten upgrades to a $1600 1970s era Gibson SG.[84]
Later, when Marten and Amir try to get Nat to learn more chords and do less feedback, she quite the band and broke up with Amir.[85] The band continues as a threesome.
Work[]
When Marten complained about his job—his business card literally said "Office Bitch"[86], Dora talked to him about maybe quitting and finding some more satisfying employment.[87] When he got to work that day, he was told he was fired (laid off).[88]
The next day, Nat told him to apply for a job at the library.[89] He went to apply and, when he recognized that the application form was written in iambic pentameter, was hired on the spot.[90]
Vespavenger[]
Sven was run over by a "drunk hipster chick on a Vespa" in a seemingly random encounter,[91] but then she reappeared, trying to run down Steve, to revenge him breaking up with Ellen, but left when he tells her that Ellen broke up with him.[92] Dora discovered the Vespavenger's website[93] and she and Faye decided to take her down, which they did with the help of Marten, Pintsize and his robot friends; though Marten took damage in the fray.[94]
1000s[]
Tai[]
Tai Hubbert is Marten's boss at the library. She quickly integrated into the circle of friends when Marten took her to the bar to meet Jimbo with Faye and Dora. Her diminutive size and butch appearance made Dora want to keep her like a pet.[95]
Tai has a tendency to push Marten outside his comfort zone: her idea of bonding with him was to go and get a clit piercing, casually stripping off her pants in front of him and requiring he hold her hand during the procedure.[96] It cetrainly didn't help that she immediately went to Coffee of Doom to show Dora.[97]
Dora[]
Marten and Dora went to her parents' house for dinner, with a few awkward moments regarding Marten's mom.[98][99]
Dora moved in with Marten and Faye.[100]
Dora's insecurities flared up over Marten having some feelings for Faye and his ex-girlfriends,[101] when Faye slept with her brother,[102] when Cosette asked him out (he turned her down),[103][104] and again when she caught Faye hugging him in the living-room.[105]
When Marten got angry with her for looking at his porn collection after he specifically told her not to,[106] she broke up with him[107] and Sven helped her move out.[108]
The Worry Hat[]
Hannelore told Marten she was worried, so he gave her a Worry Hat, telling her to put it on and activate it by saying "Worry Hat, engage".[109] It worked, and he told her to keep it.[110] After his break-up with Dora, Hanners returned the Worry Hat, to make him feel better.[111]
The Secret Bakery[]
After the break-up with Dora, Marten had to find someplace other than Coffee of Doom to get his caffeine fix, so he and Hannelore searched around town and found The Secret Bakery, where he met Padma.[112] Marten continued to go to The Secret Bakery even after he returned to Coffee of Doom.[113][114] It was at there that he learned that he had become a "townie."[115]
Tai started thinking about getting with Dora,[116] and Marten saw Dora for the first time post-breakup, when they decided they could still be friends.[117]
2000s[]
The library got three summer interns:[118] Claire, Emily, and Gabby.[119] Tai tasked Marten with supervising and training them, because she felt he needed the extra responsibility.[120] Later, she and Faye ship Marten with each of them, to his annoyance.[121]
Padma[]
Meanwhile, Marten went hiking on Mount Tom[122] with Momo, Sam, and Padma.[123] Padma mentioned that she was planning to move to LA to care for her ailing grandmother.[124] Marten and Padma hooked up,[125] and despite her set plans, started falling for each other.[126] But when Padma cancelled a date,[127] he got angry and told her he wouldn't see her on her last night in town.[128]
Space[]
Hannelore invited her two best friends,[129] Marten and Marigold, to go to The Space Station to celebrate her dad's birthday.[130] They saw the room Hannelore grew up in[131] and learned about her childhood.[132] Hannelore's dad asked Marten — as his daughter's closest friend — if she was happy down on Earth.[133] He tried to get Marten to use "Fournier-Goldman Happiness Units," but Marten screwed it up. Hanners told him she'd never been happier in her whole life.[134]
Marten and Hanners helped one of the scientists make out with Marigold.[135][136] Marten went off with Lieutenant Potter to drink away from the noisy scientists.[137] She told him he should email Padma and turned him down before he could make a move on her.[138]
When they returned, Pintsize was angry that he wasn't allowed to go and talk to Station, so Marten gave him Station's email address. Padma replied to his email and told him she was fine and she was sorry things didn't work out.[139]
Party at the Lake[]
Emily invited everyone to party at her parents' lake house.[140] When Marten and Tai went to Coffee of Doom later on, Tai insisted on inviting Dora herself.[141] At the lake house, Marten discovered that he and the gang are Emily's only friends ("Oh lord, we've adopted another one.").[142]
During the party, Marten and Claire were alone. She told him he had nice friends, and he replied, "You're one of 'em now."[143] She decided to tell him that she was trans, and he thanked her for telling him.[144] When she asked him what he wanted to know, he said he was fine with whatever she felt comfortable telling him.[145]
Dora and Tai[]
Marten told Tai he was cool with her making out with Dora.[146] She drunkenly confessed her feelings to Dora.[147] The following day, she reiterated her feelings, and they had their first kiss.[148] After their first date, Tai panicked and went to Marten for advice. He told her that the date went fine and that if she let things progress naturally, everything would work out.[149]
Marten realized that his father's wedding was coming up and went looking for a date to take along.[150] Faye and Dora were unavailable[151], and then Hannelore got sick,[152] so Claire volunteered to drive him.[153] Marten was shocked when he learned that his parents had Black Flag play their wedding,[154] and again when he was introduced to German electronic musician and founder of BPitch Control, Ellen Allien, the DJ for the wedding.[155] After the reception, Marten and Claire fell asleep on his bed,[156] and he woke later to find her cuddling him. He turned off the light[157] and in the morning she was in her own bed and said nothing about the incident.[158] When Marten told Faye about it later, she suggested it was only a dream.[159]
Marten traded in his telecaster for an Ibanez RG2228[160] 8-string guitar, which wiped out his savings.[161]
Clinton thanked Marten for being a gentleman about his sister cuddling him,[162] which caused Claire to have a panic attack.[163] Marten assured her that he already knew it happened and that he was not weirded out about it.[164] Later that day, Marten and Hanners explained his history with Faye and informed Claire that she was now a part of the group of friends.[165]
Veronica and Jim[]
Tai and Claire began shipping Marten's mom and Jim Bean,[166] and he mentioned to episode to his mom on the phone.[167] Some time later, she made a surprise visit and told Marten she was going to have coffee with Jim.[168] Based on that date, Veronica decided to move out from California.[169]
In light of her dad dating his, Samantha Bean offered Marten a friendship frog[170] and invited him to walk in the woods.[171] Emily went with them and was bitten by a snake.[172] Marten quickly tore up his t-shirt and made a tourniquet for her, and Sam pointed out that the snake was not poisonous.[173] When Emily told the story back at Coffee of Doom, the girls made fun of him,[174] but afterward, Emily kissed him on the cheek in appreciation.[175]
When Marten talked it out with Tai, she told him it probably meant nothing, and then questioned whether dating an intern was actually unethical.[176] Steve and Hanners also agreed that the kiss was probably nothing.[177] After sharing some "crisis wine"[178] with Faye, he finally came to the conclusion that is was probably nothing and would let it slide.[179]
Marten invited Claire to got to the bar with him and some of the gang.[180] Faye deduced that Claire had a crush on Marten,[181] though Claire denied it.[182] Faye then decided that she Marten and CLaire must drink some more th athe apartment.[183] Once they were all comfortable on the couch, Faye went to bed,[184] which left Marten and Claire getting terribly close. But Claire, realizing they were both a little too drunk, decided to be reasonable and go home.[185]
Dating Claire[]
| “ | —I need pancakes before I can process this. | ” |
| — Marten[186] |
The next morning, Marten called Claire to have breakfast with him, but her mother answered the phone and invited him over for pancakes.[187] After breakfast, Marten told Claire that he wanted to start a relationship with her, and they kissed.[188] A short while after their successful first date,[189] Claire asked Marten to watch a movie at her house,[190] but Marten got home to find Faye unconscious from drinking too much. He cancelled the date and got Faye to the hospital.[191] When the crisis with Faye was over, Claire went Marten's apartment,[192] and they made love.[193]
Faye fell off the wagon,[194] and Marten felt he had to keep an eye on her, so when Claire called, asking to come over, he told her not to come. Claire angrily hung up on him,[195] but Faye took his phone and threatened to beat Marten up if Claire didn't come over.[196] When she got there,[197] she reassessed the situation, realized that Faye needed to talk things out with Marten privately and extracted a promise of no beating people up from Faye before leaving.[198] Marten said, "So, talk to me." And Faye did.[199][200]
3000s[]
Claire decided that she wanted a septum ring,[201] and though professed not being a fan of them, he supported her choice and they went to the piercing studio[202]
Talk of future prospects lead to Marten's realization about instability of his employment.[203] Claire helped Marten open a savings account.[204]
Personality[]
Religion[]
Marten's religious beliefs have never been mentioned "on screen" but a newspost said "cheerful agnosticism."[205]
Sex and drugs and rock&roll[]
Sexuality[]
Marten is comfortable with and supportive of gay people, and seems free of hangups about gay sex.[206] His tastes are vanilla,[106] but he knows bondage techniques (no doubt due to his mother).[207] He recognizes that Sven has a nice ass.[208]
Despite being surrounded by attractive women, Marten has explained that he does not fantasize about Penelope, Tai or Faye, but has fantasized about Raven.[209]
Marten is currently in a relationship with Claire Augustus.
Drugs[]
Marten is a regular coffee drinker (his favorite is a large latte)[210] but is no gourmet.[211] Faye accused him of being satisfied with anything hot and brown colored.[212]
Marten is a casual drinker of alcohol, and has been shown drinking beer.[213] He has also been known to binge drink when emotionally stressed, but only rarely.
Marten does not seem to use use any other drugs, neither smoking nor ever having dropped acid.[214][215][216]
Music preferences[]
We know some of the concerts he's attended[217] and that Modest Mouse makes him nostalgic, but on the many occasions when he's talked about bands he's not tended to talk about his tastes.
Marten is known to have a Mogwai poster, and on his blog he listed Broken Social Scene as a favorite. He likes David Bowie's Outside or at least admires its depth,[218] and likes The Flaming Lips. He says he appreciates the work of Sir Mix-a-Lot.[219] He has complimented the songwriting of Belle and Sebastian,[220] and is an intense fan of Thurston Moore.[221] He is a fan of American glam metal band Poison.[222] He also appeared knowledgeable of electronic music when speaking with Tai, particularly Ricardo Villalobos' Fizheuer Zieheuer,[223] and has a T-shirt bearing the name of British electronic artist "Gold Panda".[224] He is also a fan of Liars, and possibly William Shatner.[225] He seems to be a fan of "post-post-ironic" music, particularly Deerhoof.[226] His bedroom has a poster for the Texan rock band "Spoon".[227] He has a T-shirt for American rapper Biz Markie and the Canadian post-rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor.[228][229] He is familiar with the music of Swedish extreme metal band Meshuggah. He has also met and likes the DJ Ellen Aillen.
He appears to like Society For Creative Rock Anachronism,[85] and a friend believed he would like an Explosions in the Sky album.[230] He, along with Steve and Faye, are also fans of the band Dune and often have conversations about their style and taste. He also mentioned that the Failure album he downloaded was "Really fucking good" and that he felt he had "missed out on them while they were together".[231] There are a few he has complained about.[232]
When asked by Faye about his favorite Toto song he revealed it was "Rosanna".[233] This seems to conflict with Faye's favorite ("Africa")[234] and is completely disregarded by Dora, who hates the band with a passion.[235]
His ringtone is "One More Time"[195] and previously was "I am trying to break your heart."[236]
Marten has an intense dislike of the Sex Pistols, with an apparent specific hatred of "God Save the Queen",[237] as well as Metallica's "St. Anger".[238] He would not complain if someone assassinated the former MTV VJ Lisa "Kennedy" Montgomery.[239] He seems to dislike drum circles.[240]
Relationships[]
He is kind and considerate,[241] but knows when to be snarky.[242] He has a very mild, malleable disposition, to the point of often being a pushover. He is slow to anger,[243] but will react when a friend is mistreated.[244]
Marten may be shy. He is at any rate slow to make friends, if Pintsize is to be believed (hah!). According to Pintsize, Marten had lived in Northampton for two years before meeting his first friend there, Steve.[245] Marten now says he has a lot of friends,[246] but his phone address book has only a few entries.[17]
Marten is an underachiever who dreams of a successful band but spends his Saturdays "watching Cartoon Network and moping".[247] On the subject of Marten's apparent aimlessness,[248][249], Jeph Jacques said:
| “ | Marten isn't really sure what his goals ARE. I'm pretty sure I've actually had him say something along these lines in the comic, actually. He'd like to have some, but life can be insidious in how you go day by day and suddenly it's been a year and you're still working at your crappy job and WTF happened to all that time. | ” |
| — Jeph Jacques[250] |
At any rate, he knows one thing he doesn't want to do, namely taking over his mother's business.[20] Marten's concept of an ideal life is listening to music and drinking coffee.[251] His favorite drink is a large latte.[210]
Appearance[]
Marten is slender, not muscular,[252] and between 5-8" and 5-10".[253] He has black hair and blue eyes. He claims to be incapable of growing facial hair.[254]
