Marvin Lipschitz

Marvin Lipschitz was a minor character in Better Days introduced in Chapter 12: "Exemplary Girls". He is first mentioned by Elizabeth as she informs Lucy that her mother Kelly is making her go to the Halloween Dance with Marvin despite Elizabeth's own wishes (seeing she still very much loves Fisk). Not much is known about him until later in the chapter when Lucy and her friend Mavis actually see him arriving with Elizabeth at the dance where he is dressed up as Robin Hood while Elizabeth is dressed up as a nurse. However what really surprises both Lucy and Mavis is that Marvin has a giant penis as it is noticeable due to having a large bulge in his pants.

However he is not seen again and does not say a single thing for that entire chapter, however nonetheless Lucy and Mavis are still pretty much surprised that Elizabeth went to the dance with a guy with a large penis.

Marvin is then however brought back into the story in Chapter 19: "Party Girls" taking place many years after Lucy and Elizabeth graduated high school. In this chapter, Lucy and her friends go a strip club for Jessica's bachelorette party. There Beth introduces Lucy to the gay male strippers who she knows that works there, during which she introduces Marvin to her (going far to state that out of any Jewish guy, Marvin is the first person Beth has ever seen with a large penis) without realizing that Lucy recognized him from years prior.

As a result Lucy being shocked and amused talks to Marvin as she reminds him how he took Elizabeth to the Halloween Dance years ago back in high school, to which Marvin replies that he does remember and that he also thought that Elizabeth was a very nice girl. So right off the bat it seems that Marvin is a very nice guy for the most part.

Marvin then out of curiosity asks if Elizabeth is with Lucy at the moment, to which Lucy informs him she is not but she does tell him that she is going to call her to come over to the strip club just because of that.

Later in the chapter the gang argues with one another as many are accusing each other of cheating, to which Elizabeth and Marvin sit back and watch out of amusement. Marvin asks Elizabeth why exactly is her friends fighting to which Elizabeth explains in detail on what is going on, to which the male mouse is very impressed only to be told by Elizabeth that she simply knows this due to the fact she knew her friends for quite a long time now. After that Marvin then asks why she didn't actually date him, to which Elizabeth informs him that it was mainly due to the fact that her mother Kelly was setting her up with him without her say in the matter, which Marvin is seen understanding Elizabeth completely.

Moments later Marvin then stands up on a chair with his penis out in the open where he tells everyone to stop fighting as he basically becomes for that moment the "man of wisdom" to which he was able to break up the fight. After that Aron comments on whether or not if Marvin is gay, to which Beth informs him that he is not due to Beth having a bizarre way of telling someone's sexual orientation.

After Chapter 19: "Party Girls", Marvin is not seen or heard from again in Better Days, nor is he ever mentioned or seen in the follow-up comics of Original Life. It is possible Marvin could come back in Original Life+5 but this might be still doubtful.

It is very likely that Marvin by the time of when Original Life begins is probably doing something else in life and probably has long since stopped being a male stripper. So if anything Marvin is obviously leading a happy life by this time.

Personality
It is hard to say what Marvin's personality is in Better Days seeing he was only given interaction with other characters in Chapter 19: "Party Girls". But by what we can guess is that Marvin due to his geeky glasses might have a nerd or geek-like personality and could be very well into hobbies like DnD perhaps (seeing how in Chapter 12: "Exemplary Girls" he dresses up as Robin Hood which might be possible that he could of based it off of a custom character of his in DnD).

He also is depicted as a nice and charming guy who is respectful toward Elizabeth and Beth, which might suggest that he might be a feminine guy due to his ability to really connect with women. He also seems to have sympathy for others as well as he did in fact felt bad that Elizabeth's mom set him up with her without Elizabeth having a say in the matter.

He also is very smart and intelligent seeing he was able to break up Lucy and his friends from fighting by using his words of "wisdom".

Now whether or not Marvin is gay is really debatable. It could be possible that Marvin is actually straight and simply worked as a male stripper perhaps to get money to get him through college, or perhaps he became a male stripper due to the attention he likes receiving from women due to his large penis. Then there is a possibility that Marvin could actually be bisexual, even though he has never been seen or stated to have had romantic relationships with men.
