I can't stand this dismissive attitude on a message board devoted to discussion of the web comic. It's a testament to Jeph's work that there are people this passionate about his characters.

Arguing is fine, nearly every one of my posts here has been an argument with someone. But launching into a pointless string of obscenities is silly, fruitless, and diminishes any points he may have been trying to make.

Probably the fact that she pursued him and didn't just wait around for him to come to her, as seen here: http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=564 It's not everyday that a girl is the one to up and go for the guy she wants. That and she showed appreciation for him back when Faye was stringing him along.

He's got the maturity to find better, the capacity to listen you lack, and none of the baggage you so lovingly force upon those who consider themselves your friend.
You and your purple hair have, for the sake of a baffling need to be right, sabotaged the most healthy relationship you will ever have.
Hope yer proud of yourself!

Only in the fictional land of QC could that possibly happen.

These little touches were kinda overshadowed by the explosion that came a couple panels later, but in general I think they show there's a lot more under the surface here...besides the fights (or repressed non-fights), besides the other issues. Faye's using Marten as a meterstick to compare her feelings about Angus, and Martens appears to be feeling like something's missing, and that he's not exactly super happy. These two comics I thought were some of the most interested and thought-provoking I'd seen in a while, even more so than the ones with the blowups.
The Marten in panel 4 of 1739 needs out of this relationship. Maybe he's finally found an opportunity to seize control of the Marten who likes Dora, the Marten who just wants someone, and the Marten who doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

I agree about the feeling, but the meaning of that sigh to me meant that things are stale more than ruined.
I'm hoping theres a chase sequence with bitter tears and stories.
But that's because whenever I think of them together, I don't think about the fights, I think about moments like http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=870 this

Hence why we need a door to slam.
A UDMEOD, perhaps.
ChippyD:
I refer back to Rule 3 of Relationship Fights.
Dora made a big mistake in trying to apologize and settle the problem too quickly. No matter how she felt, if she understood his side, or failed to, it was just far too soon, and not fair on Martin. I point back to the Underwear crisis. Martin went after Dora too quickly, and it exacerbated the situation because it allowed Dora to feed the fire of her anger. She took his head off, unfairly, due to her anger. She kicked him out of his own damned room, no more questions asked.
Yet when Martin decides it's his turn to blow his top, Dora immediately expects to be allowed to resolve the issue right away, on her terms. That's an extremely self-centered view.
