Wait....why did Marten get in trouble? Until Marigold started questioning him, I thought his statement of "Meh, you know how it is with Faye" was appropriately vague. If anything, it was Tai that was the IDIOT and even she had the excuse of not knowing any better. Just when I was starting to like Dora again, she has to go back into crazy over reactionary bitch mode...
The last two panels did manage to make me laugh though.
pwhodges:
Because he made the first somewhat thoughtless remark about Angus and Faye that Tai explained to Marigold. And it's a thing my wife calls me out on as well...
AngryCallCenterAgent:
Marten, what have I told you about inserting your foot into your mouth? First, wash your feet. Second, add ketchup.

Ok, you know what? I give up. I think this strip proves that rather than the punching being Faye's problem, the real issue behind it is that Jeph just thinks that women hitting men is funny somehow. And although "over the top violence" is an old gag frequently used in many comics, Jeph exacerbates it by putting it into a comic that is mostly realistic, and having the violence result in actual bruising that isn't a one-panel throwaway gag. As such, I can't hold Faye-the-character responsible for it, and just have to strongly disagree with Jeph on this particular idea.
Seriously. I do not find it funny. At all. I find it very unpleasant and uncomfortable, and it makes me dislike the characters. Maybe others don't feel the same way, but I do.
