Marten goes on his walk. Faye goes to talk to Dora. And, maybe involving Faye out-bitching Dora, explains what was going on. I think if anyone tells Dora to stop being an ass, it'll be Faye.
Then they hug and make up.
Which is when Marten walks in, pointing and yelling, "Oh, so it's fine when YOU do it?!"

And the circle will be complete.
I can see Marten getting the crap beaten outta him when a bunch of drunken yahoos sees the Hello Kitty Beltbuckle
Then Faye will get vengefully mad at Dora
Dora will blame herself and have a mental breakdown and wind up in the local loony bin
Hanners will blame both of them, snap and go on a homicidal rampage against Faye and Dora's families
Cosette and Steve take over Coffee of Doom
Tergon:
Heh. When the comic features a sad silence and an ominous pause, the forum goes utterly nuts.
When Dora's a bitch and Marten responds by actually getting angry, so there actually is a fight to talk about, everyone calms down and goes back to being sensible.
I have a new theory: You're all perfectly sane, YOU JUST LIKE FUCKING WITH JEPH.
Also: Yay, finally we see a chink in Marten's nice-guy armour. I think after nearly 1800 comics, he's earned the right to be an arsehole, just once. The question is whether the story arc will follow his adventures on his walk, or whether it'll follow Faye and Dora back at the apartment. I'm thinking hints of both... and I'll be every curious to see where either / both arcs lead.

That's a thought I've been having myself. Symbolic, in a way... he's now using the TEH shirt as pajamas, and it seems like the TEH shirt is always ominously on for relationship drama or the beginning of things...
Edit: Found more links. :P

That's a great way of looking at it. To me it's more like a warning of importantly relevant shit coming our way.
Another way of looking at it is a metaphor for their relationship. The TEH shirt takes you back to QC's roots, taking you "back to Mecca" as it were. The roots, the foundation of any relationship have to be solid, and if there's a lack of trust, you're screwed, and not in the nice way. Maybe that's a stretch but that's how i see it.

Or he just happened to grab the TEH shirt to use as a pj shirt.
I still have my ROTC Det shirt that I wear occasionally even though I graduated a few years ago, despite having had it since I was a freshman (man, seven years flew by just like that...). Amazingly, despite the number of times its been washed, the colors have yet to start fading and the fabric is still as durable as it was when I first got the shirt. It's the only shirt I've owned that's actually outlasted pairs of jeans (and jeans last frickin' FOREVER).
kaitco:
Why would Faye assume "this" was all her fault? That is not like Faye at all...
I am really excited to see where this goes. Like a couple others, I expect that Marten will find himself at a bar where there is self-discovery sitting on the next barstool, but I hope it turns out better than that.
The more I read the comments and re-read the past few comics, I wonder if perhaps there was something really happening on that sofa. I mean, the way Marten stammered in the second to last panel of 1740 tells me he was expecting the next thing to come out of Faye's mouth to be something earth-shattering. He was nervous about what was happening between them at that moment and that makes me wonder why. Maybe his anger is more at himself than at the situation? That Dora called him out on what was clearly a tender moment? That this time, perhaps she was not going mental over absolutely nothing?
Another question: Does anyone else find it eerily ironic that Jeph decided to bring back the old hairstyles and Marten's TEH shirt right around the time we get a glimpse of a Marten-Faye moment? It is like we are taking a long trip down memory lane where Marten is still pining after Faye.
