Akima:

Yes. I'm surprised Marten's still conscious, so it's not too surprising that he's peeled away enough layers of maturity to get down to the selfish two-year-old that lurks in us all, but I'm disappointed he couldn't keep his hands to himself when they were clearly unwelcome. While he might not remember the blow, the black eye or bruised jaw might be a hint in the morning that he stepped over the line. Could be awkward, but I think Faye's a "you've had your lumps, let's forget it" kind of girl. She really should learn not to punch to the head though, it's a good way to injure your hands.

--- End quote ---

We've seen many (though not for a long time), but those against Marten previously have always been playpunching, however hard - I stand by that because they were not such as to affect their relationship.  The only non-play violence I recall is when Faye threw Angus across the bar for getting far less familiar than Marten just did.

Dr. ROFLPWN:
The "selfish two-year-old that lurks in us all" is a wonderful way to put that, Akima.

Are you  sure Marten is still conscious? I was rather hoping he wasn't, dude needs to shut up and Now.

akronnick:
It's also not completely clear what type or level of "violence" Faye used here.

In Panel 3, she has her open hand on Marten's chest, so it's possible that she simply pushed Marten and given his current level of impairment he fell.

However, in Panel 4, Faye has clenched fists and has assumed a fighting stance, so she may have punched him, or she may simply have assumed that stance as a fight or flight response.

One thing is clear, however, if Marten is going to turn to Dr. Daniels to deal with his problems, he's going to have much bigger problems as a result.

...Sheesh, again?!

The Dandy Inferno:
Hoo boy, someone's going to feel that one in the morning.

I'm trying to work out who Marty's going to throw up on in the morning; Faye, Dora, Ms Reed, Hannelore or Pintsize.

Or all of the above.
