--- Quote from: betsynoir on 21 Nov 2010, 21:51 ---Maybe I'm getting a bad read on this, but it seems like Marten maybe gave Faye the shorthand of what happened, and it lost a little bit in translation. (sort of: "Dora broke up with me because she thinks we want to screw" vs. "Dora broke up with me because she thinks she's so crazy that she'll always believe we want to screw). If that's the case, I wonder what Faye will think of Dora's side of the story. I mean, I can't believe Faye would be all that more sympathetic to reasoning B over reasoning A, but it IS slightly less rabid batshit crazy.

Nah she wouldn't be any more sympathetic over reasoning B, and I doubt Marten told Faye reasoning A.

I mean, I'm not saying that Marten set out to give Faye a bad impression ("And then she said you guys are jerks!"), but it's generally difficult to explain someone else's reasons for something, even when they're good reasons, and it's even harder when they're crazy reasons. I'm not sure that Faye, Marten, or Dora has a particularly good understanding of what's going on in Dora's head right now.

I just noticed that she's drinking it straight. I guess ice = fun, straight = numbing, even though usually it's been right from the bottle.

I'm not too sure about that - after all the times Dora's vocalized her insecurities about being Faye's second fiddle, I think Marten at least has a pretty good idea of what's going on. And there may well have been further talk after the Marten-in-the-headlights of 1799.
Also, we've no idea how long Marten has taken to explain what happened to Faye. I kinda doubt he'd give an overly simplified account of the situation, because that's something people usually only do if they a) come off looking bad when the full story's known, or b) don't truly understand what's going on. I think neither applies here.

Or will it come to Broadsword V Malaysian Battle Spatula in the alley?
--- End quote ---
I desire to see this. Not least because I wonder as to the shape of the fabled Malay Battle Spatula.
The comic is about what I expected. Faye is pissed, maybe some slight shades of original recipe Faye?, and Marten is trying to keep the peace because he's just a good guy like that. The poor kid is still defeated though and may well be primed for another explosion.
