Relationships

Andrew Hornby

Andrew Hornby is Irma's crush toward the beginning of the comics and in the show. In the comics, she used her powers to transform in order to impress Andrew with her more mature body. It worked and Andrew did notice her, however, when he tried to kiss her, Irma got nervous and accidently turned him into a frog. She didn't know how to turn him back and he got scared and hopped away before she even had the chance to try. She later returns with the rest of the girls and finds out that she has to kiss his frog form to change him back. He still remembers a little bit about the whole incident, and it's revealed in the future episode, issue 50, that he's still a bit afraid of Irma because of it.

Martin Tubbs

Martin's hopelessly in love with Irma throughout the show and the comics, however, Irma only thinks of him as a close friend. Despite this, it's hinted throughout both the show and the comics that they would eventually wind up together. In the prequel, Irma follows a path of raindrops, and when the road splits, she first takes the rode that led to the pet shop where she got her turtle Leafy. When she returns to the fork in the road, she decides to see where the other path went, and is shocked to see that it led straight to Martin. Another obvious hint is in issue 50, when she discovers that her and Martin remained friends and finds outs that her boyfriend Joel eventually dumps her and that Andrew turns out to be a bit of a jerk. After seeing that, the second she saw Martin in the present time, she ran up to him and kissed him on the cheek, then smacked him to make sure that he didn't get any ideas just yet. The best example from the show would be the episode "L is for Loser," where Irma and Martin work on the school radio station together and he winds up embarrassing her on the air. She blows up at him for this and calls him a loser, which really hurts his feelings. At the end, she apologizes to him and says that she'd be the real loser if he wasn't in her life. He then gives her a note that reads "you'll never be a loser".

Joel (Jay) Wright

Joel is a member of Matt's band, Cobalt Blue, and first notices Irma at a Karmilla concert in issue 41. She was wearing the same shirt as him and she finds out that he's just as into all of the same musical stuff as she is. They hit it off and he becomes her boyfriend shortly after that. Joel teases her a lot, like in issue 44 when he makes fun of how bad the pictures she took are and calls her "his misunderstood little artist". However, Irma throws it right back at him every time. Joel also wants to be a chef someday if Cobalt Blue never makes it big and asks Irma to be his taste tester. What a perfect job for her.
