Eh, Marten doesn't get nearly as much action as you may think. Faye may have started talking to him, but nothing romantic came of it, mainly due to her issues; Dora waited months to make a move on him until she was sure Faye wasn't going to do so; Hannelore had her own issues that made her undateable, at least at the time she introduced herself; and Cosette was simply too late-Dora got there first and didn't hesitate to "defend" her claim.

Ooh, how are you imagining it? Like, a four-poster with silk sheets? That would be AWESOME.

Handcuffs. Leather whips. Lots of blood.

A few notes:
1. I don't feel like slogging through thousands of back comics to see if Martin was ever explicitly mad in front of others before, but from memory I don't think he ever has been.
2. Having said that, I'm glad and think Martin's anger is fully justified here. I'm too lazy to quote (it's late here shut up) but somebody pointed out that Martin has NEVER done anything to be unfaithful. Dora has insecurities, I get it, but a line eventually needs to be drawn. Dora walked over that line, then began sprinting past it after kicking out Martin and letting it affect Faye's job. She better reconsider this soon, cause' my sympathy for her is spiraling down the drain.
3. So Martin is now wearing Faye's pants? This... might not end so well
4. Martin is going to bump into somebody during this walk. Who? Why? What will happen? I'm not sure, but I'd like to point out that Marin is pissed and not thinking straight. Who knows what he might say... or do.
5. Back to Martin's anger, I agree with the above poster who said they wanted him to retain this anger when he confronts Dora. Martin needs to lay down a firm "You are out of line" on Dora" but I'm afraid he'll wimp out.
Alright, I'm done. No more wall of text.

--- Quote from: LeGrande on 01 Sep 2010, 00:49 ---Marten, on the other hand, gets action just by being Marten. Faye makes the first verbal move to Marten, Dora practically forces herself on him, Hanners was stalking him, Cosette tried to flirt with him ... damn, now I'm jealous.
Back to the point: Without Marten, Dora becomes a very distant secondary character, and starts walking the Raven-trail to the brink of the mouth of the Allosaurus.

Actually this sounds a lot like MY life. Except that the girls hitting on me tend to be 20 years younger than me. I mean, that's the devil's dilemma.

Marten's anger was definitely justified here. I don't like Dora and haven't ever since she snatched up marten, but I have a small urge to defend her just because i can see myself reacting in the same sort of way... my boyfriend has a friend who is a girl that he used to like before we started dating. I know he'll never cheat on me and she (like faye) isn't the type of girl to try anything behind my back. I don't get freaky and psycho when they hang out, but it's natural for a girl to get a little paranoid sometimes when these 2 people who used to have feelings for each other are still friends, and I can't imagine waking up and seeing them hugging in their underwear. But at the same time, marten and faye have been friends long before Dora came to be Marten's girlfriend, and it was Dora's idea to move in to THEIR apartment. And telling Faye to not come to work, totally uncalled for and unprofessional. So I can see where Dora can be upset, but like lots of others have said I'm getting sick of her paranoid jealousy bullshit.
