…I’m intrigued…
May 16th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
Where is the name…..
May 16th, 2007 at 2:24 pm
ooh! interesting!!!
For some reason this reinforces my love for Guy. Even tho he hasnt done anything yet.
and the lawyers look effectively intimidating.
May 16th, 2007 at 2:25 pm
so has he decided to play along? it would be very entertaining.
also, love Parker’s unwillingness to leave. heh. is it because of Guy or Stasia? (my bet’s on Stasia of course.)
May 16th, 2007 at 3:15 pm
Wow, I just found this comic, and it’s very good! I only wish the archives were longer. XD
May 16th, 2007 at 3:16 pm
So damn cute!!!!! Im in love with Guy x3
May 16th, 2007 at 3:31 pm
Guy is sufficiently cool to rock my socks. ^_^ He be awesome, although I’m curious as to what he’s going to do.
May 16th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
“Where is the name…..”
Next page. By the way, don’t expect anything too important coming from Guy next. That last line is kind of a tease. But he does think he can help her!
May 16th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
Stasia Tyler?
Heee I love Guy in the last panel… although his face looks like the one used in the first one. Not that I’m questioning Eisu’s artistic ability, but kinda odd to see them used so close together.
May 16th, 2007 at 3:47 pm
Is Janny just taking Parker out of the room to give Guy and Stasia their privacy, or does she expect her to help with talking to the lawyers somehow?
and what exactly do the lawyers want to talk about? are they Stasia’s? How did they come so quickly (and why, considering she might not be wanting to talk to them)?
May 16th, 2007 at 4:08 pm
“Is Janny just taking Parker out of the room to give Guy and Stasia their privacy, or does she expect her to help with talking to the lawyers somehow?”
Just to get her out of the room, of course.
“and what exactly do the lawyers want to talk about?”
Um, the legality of the marriage.
“are they Stasia’s?”
Obviously.
“How did they come so quickly (and why, considering she might not be wanting to talk to them)?”
Um, Stasia just got married and she said on Page 12 that she doesn’t know if it’s a legal marriage or not, so she definitely wants to talk to them sometime soon and find out if it was legal or not and if she’s really married or not. And they came so quickly because they’re working for an extremely rich person. She probably has 10 lawyers all over the place. Perhaps these two travel with her on tour even, who knows, doesn’t matter.
May 16th, 2007 at 4:51 pm
i love stasia’s expression in the second last panel. she just looks so nervous
thanks for all the great updates
May 16th, 2007 at 5:09 pm
Hmm, getting interesting now. Wonder what Guy’s plan is ^_^
May 16th, 2007 at 7:15 pm
There’s something about this page that I just really like.
The funny thing is, up until this point, I think the only people taking this “marriage” seriously have been Stasia, and the lawyers…
I know Bobby has alluded to the fact that Guy’s offer of “help” is going to be anticlimactic, but I just can’t wait to see what he’s come up with.
It’ll be *really* funny if the lawyers have shown up to inform Stasia that, through some black magic inherent to Oklahoman law, she is, in fact, legally hitched…
May 16th, 2007 at 7:24 pm
Wow, fancy Blonde hair lawyer girl ! ;]
May 16th, 2007 at 7:32 pm
That shot of Parker in the doorway?
Bweheheh.
MY first thought, looking at it, was ‘WTF? She’s flashing the lawyers!’
Then I realized that of COURSE it was Janny’s hand, ’cause human wrists don’t bend that way.
._.
Heheh.
I apologize that my first comment in a while is this itty bitty pathetic thing.
Dx
May 16th, 2007 at 7:55 pm
Could I be in anymore love with Guy?
The answer is no.
No I could not.
May 16th, 2007 at 8:16 pm
“For some reason this reinforces my love for Guy. Even tho he hasnt done anything yet.”
Ditto!
“also, love Parker’s unwillingness to leave.”
Another ditto!
“By the way, don’t expect anything too important coming from Guy next. That last line is kind of a tease.”
Aw, Bobbyyyy! How could you? ;_; I’m still curious, though.
“MY first thought, looking at it, was ‘WTF? She’s flashing the lawyers!’”
Omg, now that you say that, it totally looks like Janny’s pulling Parker’s shirt up!! XD
I ♥ Parker!
May 16th, 2007 at 8:52 pm
It’s probably just a printing glitch, but it looks like Parker has a black eye in
panel #4. Also MARRY ME has been reviewed on Panelled.com (http://panelled.doomsdayblaze.com/)
May 16th, 2007 at 9:00 pm
If her lawyer thinks she’s still a “Miss,” that pretty much answers the question of whether she’s legally married.
May 16th, 2007 at 9:35 pm
“If her lawyer thinks she’s still a “Miss,” that pretty much answers the question of whether she’s legally married.”
Well, they’re used to calling her that, so I don’t know if what they call her there really has much to do with whether she’s married or not, especially considering we don’t know Guy’s last name (maybe no one else does yet either). I mean, haven’t you ever known a woman who got married, but you still slipped up once or twice when calling her by name? I’m sure a lot of us have.
May 16th, 2007 at 9:42 pm
“I mean, haven’t you ever known a woman who got married, but you still slipped up once or twice when calling her by name? I’m sure a lot of us have.”
Not to mention married women who intentionally keep their maiden names for professional or other reasons…. although in Stasia’s case I don’t know if that would matter so much.
Parker’s face as she’s dragged out the hall… priceless!
May 16th, 2007 at 10:14 pm
I can’t wait to see what Guy proposes to do (oops, bad pun :P)
May 16th, 2007 at 10:49 pm
Hm. :/ I found the art for panels 1-4 subpar for this comic. Something feels weird about how Stasia’s eyes/facial expressions are drawn in panels 1 and 3, the lawyers look like someone else drew them and cut and pasted them on, and in 4 Parker looks like she has a black eye.
Not that I’m insulting your art in general, Eisu, though: I do like your style.
May 16th, 2007 at 11:11 pm
Yeah… definately looks like Parker’s chest is exposed to the world.
May 17th, 2007 at 12:02 am
Somehow, in the first panel, Stasia REALLY looks like she doesn’t want to be alone with Guy again XD Maybe because of his last, unanswered question? ;P
I don’t know why but I really love this page X3
Only ‘disturbing’ thing is Parkers black eye and even more her black bracelet. Wasn’t it golden and a bit smaller? O_o
May 17th, 2007 at 4:49 am
‘Marry Me’ page…. at last! =D
Keep up the great work!
May 17th, 2007 at 5:32 am
“I can’t wait to see what Guy proposes to do (oops, bad pun :P)”
Niiiiiice. I see what you did there. XD
“Hm. :/ I found the art for panels 1-4 subpar for this comic. Something feels weird about how Stasia’s eyes/facial expressions are drawn in panels 1 and 3, the lawyers look like someone else drew them and cut and pasted them on, and in 4 Parker looks like she has a black eye.”
Hm. I don’t know. I really like panels 1 and 3. I’ll admit that Parker’s eye looks a little off, but I think that’s because of the size of the drawing, so I don’t hold it against Eisu. Panel two does sort of seem awkward… But, like the person I quoted said, nothing against you, Eisu.
May 17th, 2007 at 5:50 am
Okay, Guy’s face looks similar in both panels because he’s being serious and somewhat heroic both times. Similar expressions, but not the same.
Parker looks like she has a black eye because of her hair curled in front of her eye. The small size leaves not a lot of room for detail, but if you look closely you can see it.
The laywers look cut-and-pasted because Eisu put a second line of gray on the outside of the female laywer’s black outline to distinguish her size and shape from the male laywer’s black suit. If it wasn’t for that, she might look disproportionate from one side to the next, which I’m sure someone would complain about too.
I’m not speaking for Eisu, I’m just calling it as I see it. I thought it was a great page, both art-wise and story-wise. The story builds suspense, much more than the previous page because you have a couple of key events hinted at. I loved Guy’s look on the last panel, Stasia’s look on the first, and probably Parker’s on the third the most. Parker looks like, “Me? What am I going to do?” Eisu has an excellent command of facial expressions which make even the uncomfortable silences highly entertaining.
Keep up the great work.
May 17th, 2007 at 5:56 am
Parker’s face in panel 3 rocks
May 17th, 2007 at 6:04 am
I’d agree there are confusing elements today. I thought it was just me until I saw other people’s comments. One more confusing element for me: I thought the lawyers looked too much like Guy and Stasia — tall brown man with one blond girl. For a moment, I thought this was some kind of “reverse chibi” of Guy and Stasia… like Stasia we thinking, “hoo boy… now we’re all serious adults like these humorless people (in panel 2)”
Anyway, I’m enjoying this comic’s artwork and writing. Eisu’s loose art style really complements Bobby’s fast paced script.

Wow, thanks Blozor, he’s right on all accounts for the similar Guy look, lawyers and Parker’s black eye… good stuff
“and even more her black bracelet. Wasn’t it golden and a bit smaller? O_o”
She wears two bracelets, one on her left, one on her right, one is black and one is yellow… check back past pages, you’ll see it (though, I might have confused which one is on the right and which is on the left)
May 17th, 2007 at 7:06 am
@Eisu: http://www.marrymemovie.com/main/2007/04/21/page-19/
Here she appears to have two yellow bracelets?
May 17th, 2007 at 9:39 am
Poor Parker…her best friend has married the woman she loves, and now she’s being forcibly dragged out of the room where the undeserving Guy gets to be alone with her beloved Stasia. This has got to be both the best and worst day of her life!
At least she gets to maybe keep Stasia’s pants!
May 17th, 2007 at 11:20 am
I know that the outline was put there to distinguish them. But the outline is fuzzy, especially in the underarm area. Also, the different thickness of the lines between the two makes the panel feel inconsistent. And that one thing in her hair outline doesn’t feel smooth at all.
As for the black eye, of course it’s because her hair’s in the way. I understand that. But that, combined with being pulled by her shirt, combined with her facial expression, makes it look like she’s in the middle of a domestic dispute!
Plus, the problem with Stasia’s eyes is that I don’t feel convinced that she’s looking at the people talking in the respective panels (1 and 3). She looks like she’s looking at the wall or something. Lowering Guy’s gaze in the first panel so he’s actually making eye contact might help (is he staring at her hair?).

P.S. Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to comments.

“Plus, the problem with Stasia’s eyes is that I don’t feel convinced that she’s looking at the people talking in the respective panels (1 and 3). She looks like she’s looking at the wall or something.”
Stasia’s too embarrassed to look at anyone right now. Check out where she’s looking in Panel 5, for example.
May 17th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
Somehow, I get the feeling that whatever Guy suggests, it’ll end up making things that much worse. Even if it’s not important.
May 18th, 2007 at 12:08 am
Thanks for making this comic. I never posted before, but I wanted to say this. ^^
-Guy’s face in the last strip is really cool. xD
May 18th, 2007 at 12:50 am
“@Eisu: http://www.marrymemovie.com/main/2007/04/21/page-19/
Here she appears to have two yellow bracelets?”
Yeah, now that one is an actual mistake, heh, my bad. I mean, page 19 is the mistake, in other pages, her bracelet is always (I think there’s no mistake in other pages) black and yellow
May 18th, 2007 at 6:29 am
Just a quick comment on Oklahoma law. Apparently if you enter the state and represent yourself as married, then you are married.
Found out because a friend there panicked when she found out that her marriage license had never been filed. (She was married in Arizona). Being religious she was worried she be living in sin, only to be consoled by her pastor, (who had a law degree and specialized in family law), that since she and her husband had presented themselves as married when they entered Oklahoma- they were married.
Guess it’s left over from the frontier days.
May 18th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Is that the common law marriage law, Carny? Those are fun… In Alabama, if you just sleep in the same bed as someone else for one night, you’re common law married. I would be married to soooooo many people. And a lot of it would be incestuous. XD (I’m so glad to live in Kentucky. If I remember right, you have to live together for 7 years to be common law married here.)
Either way, I guess that could answer the whole “legality of the marriage” issue.
May 18th, 2007 at 6:25 pm
The blonde lawyers is cute.
May 18th, 2007 at 7:23 pm
Parker has two gold bracelets on page 16, as well.
May 18th, 2007 at 8:46 pm
woot not more?
May 19th, 2007 at 5:54 am
The pilot on my right was HAWT. Hotter than Guy. I find this depressing. But then Guy IS all stubly. You aren’t going to clean him up are you?! Please say it isn’t so! It’s part of what makes him so shexy… >.>
May 19th, 2007 at 6:09 am
“In Alabama, if you just sleep in the same bed as someone else for one night, you’re common law married.”
oÔ
Common law sounds rather… strange xD
May 19th, 2007 at 8:27 am
Ahoj!
My first reaction to the abhumans - lawyers - was that they represent Stasia’s label. And they came to show her section m/ of point 144a of paragraph 1128 of her contract, forbiding her to commit “controversial acts” on scene without prior written agreement.
Or something in that vein.

Went ahead and Googled this common-law marriage thing, and found the following info:
Oklahoma: To establish a common-law marriage, a man and woman must (1) be competent; (2) agree to enter into a marriage relationship; and (3) cohabit.
And, since it was brought up earlier:
Alabama: The requirements for a common-law marriage are: (1) capacity; (2) an agreement to be husband and wife; and (3) consummation of the marital relationship.
Kentucky does not appear to recognize common law marriages at all, and no state establishes one simply by living together for a set period of time, or spending a single night in the same bed. There must be an intent to marry, and the couple must represent themselves as married.
For information on other states, try this site: http://www.unmarried.org/common.html
May 19th, 2007 at 1:26 pm
Hmm, comments can’t be edited? Ah well.
Just thought that I’d go ahead and mention that, in the fictional setting of Darkover (created by Marion Zimmer Bradley) the deliberate sharing of “a meal, a fireside, and a bed” constitutes a marriage. Again, though, there must be an intent to marry.
May 19th, 2007 at 7:12 pm
“Common law sounds rather… strange xD”
Yeah. XD It’s what a friend in Alabama told me, anyway.
May 19th, 2007 at 10:55 pm
God, Guy is so cute and scruffy. I’d marry him too in a random spout of insanity.
May 20th, 2007 at 4:04 am
“Yeah. XD It’s what a friend in Alabama told me, anyway.”
Think about it… A baby that sleeps in his parents bed is married to them. And if he got a baby sister or something, he’ll eventually end up as his own grandpa!
XD
May 20th, 2007 at 4:22 am
I read somewhere that in Oklahoma common law marriages don’t count anymore unless they preceed November 1998
May 20th, 2007 at 4:42 am
Remy=talented. Great work
May 20th, 2007 at 7:19 am
“Think about it… A baby that sleeps in his parents bed is married to them. And if he got a baby sister or something, he’ll eventually end up as his own grandpa!
XD”
XD!! Man, I’d be married to like, a hundred different people. At least three of my cousins, all four of my sisters, my brother, my Mammaw, my mom, a lot of friends… I think it only applies to people outside of your family, though. In which case I’d be married to a lot of friends. XD Deidr’e, Sam, Tiffany, Crystal, the other Crytal, Jay, Amber, God-knows-who-else… Wow. At least I won’t end up as my own grandma. XD
May 20th, 2007 at 7:26 am
“Alabama: The requirements for a common-law marriage are: (1) capacity; (2) an agreement to be husband and wife; and (3) consummation of the marital relationship.”
Ohhhh. I was just going by what my friend said, so y’know.
“Kentucky does not appear to recognize common law marriages at all, and no state establishes one simply by living together for a set period of time, or spending a single night in the same bed. There must be an intent to marry, and the couple must represent themselves as married.”
Gasp! That means my mom lied to me. (Not surprising, but still. XD) She lived with my step-dad for like, nine years, and said they were common-law married because of all the time they’d lived together.
(On to the website!)
“THE MYTH: There is a common misperception that if you live together for a certain length of time (seven years is what many people believe), you are common-law married. This is not true anywhere in the United States.”
Ohhhh. That explains why Mom thought that, then. Yick, I can’t believe I fell to a “common misperception”… I feel… kinda dumb now. XD Ah well.
May 21st, 2007 at 8:17 am
This is the single most fabulous comic of all time - and I don’t even like jpop. Your characters are amazing, the dialogue is perfect, and the art is phenomenal!
May 21st, 2007 at 11:46 am
“Heee I love Guy in the last panel… although his face looks like the one used in the first one.”
I agree- but it doesn’t seem like a negative to me in the slightest. It just makes Eisu’s drawings seem spot-on when depicting Guy, in my opinion. I mean, it’s the same person, in the same mood- the faces SHOULD be similar.
As for common law- I “believe” that here in England, if you live together for a certain amount of time AS A COUPLE- that is to say, share a bed as a couple, etc etc- then you are classed as “married by common law”. That’s what the whole thing of “representing yourself as married” is, I believe. Living together as a married couple. I may, of course, be wrong. Far from unheard of.
Anyway, it’s great to see things back in action; I’ve been in an agony of suspense. Wonderful as ever- although I agree with Parker’s bracelet. Perhaps for Eisu’s sanity they should have both been yellow. Or we can pretend they’re magical colour-changing bracelets. >.>
May 21st, 2007 at 7:40 pm
“and I don’t even like jpop.”
Stasia is not Jpop
May 22nd, 2007 at 12:42 am
Please excuse the little white girl. What’s “Jpop”?
May 22nd, 2007 at 4:14 am
Japanese Pop
