--- Quote from: The Dandy Inferno on 15 Dec 2010, 03:29 ---Actually, my new prediction is follows: Ms Reed drags Marty off to Cod to force him and Dora to talk about their issues. Marty then throws up on Dora's shoes and passes out. Hannelore faints.

And Dora pisses herself in fear, too, considering I don't believe she's been informed of the arrival Ms. Reed. Hell, Faye might be sweating a few bullets herself, when Ms. Reed queries on the gang on why her son is missing some teeth. :D

--- Quote from: PureLionHeart on 15 Dec 2010, 02:36 ---Well, that was a great chapter. Marten's well-earned his drunken jerkitude, so all the power to him to make an ass of himself to his heart's content for the night. In fact, I'd be tickled pink to see him retain consciousness long enough to come to the realization (after his little drunken speech) that like Faye, now Dora will get her issues resolved thanks at least in part to him and the breakup, which will lead her to more healthy relationships in the future. Of course, depending on how drunk he is, this would be the point where the inevitable epiphany kicks in that he exists essentially as a garage pitstop on Relationship Road to repair the women in his life and send them off to sleep with the rest of the gang at Hipster Junction (Sven "quizzing" at the gate). Now to move on to Hanners, and with Anges tied up with our disturbingly strong femme fatale, eventually Marigold.
Seriously though, I pray Faye doesn't take his drunken ramblings too much to heart, since he's in a pretty bad place right now, and mainly, drunk off his damn ass on what could only be worse if it was glowing. It's somewhat hard to stay mad at him for it, especially given his track record, and Faye doesn't seem like the type to hold a grudge over this given past arguments and such.
--- Quote from: The Dandy Inferno on 15 Dec 2010, 02:32 ---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.

I imagine the more depressing (and potentially likely, depending on how pissed Faye is) scenario is to wake up all alone in a puddles of the stuff all over the floor.

You forgot "...just as the health inspector walks in."

--- Quote from: Method of Madness on 15 Dec 2010, 01:44 ---She may have knocked him out because she's worried that he's right. I'm not saying that he is right, or even that he'll think so when he wakes up, but it's probably something that she's considered.
She may have gone with good intentions, but she really did not handle that well.
--- End quote ---
Did not handle what well? The punching? I have always hated when she punched Marten in earlier strips (NOT play punching, regardless of how she "intended" it and the fact that Marten put up with it--it would regularly leave serious bruises that lasted several days and were apparently painful, let alone the times he has indeed knocked him to the floor), but in this case I'd agree it was self-defense. And probably best for Marten to just end the night there, rather than running the risk of whatever else he might do.
Or did you mean the entire Marten situation? Because while she did not handle the lead-up, what with the sometime-flirting and the occasional taking-advantage of his attraction to her, she handled Marten's confession as well as one could be expected to. No person in the world owes it to another person to be romantically interested in them. Neither do they owe it to them to be in an appropriate state to be romantically receptive. Someone (let's say person X) can be not ready for a relationship when person A asks, but then be ready for a relationship with person B, and while that may not be "fair" that is not something done to person A, but simply the way things are. It has to do with person X, not person A. In other words: it's not about Marten.
Also, the way he brought up "my girlfriend dumped me" definitely sounds very dismissive of the actual value of his relationship with Dora. It makes it sound like he just wanted a girlfriend, any girlfriend, and basically saw Dora as the means of getting "there"--ie, her value to her was just her interchangeable role as "girlfriend" rather than as Dora, and now he's pissed that he's no longer in possession of "girlfriend," which is something he seems to feel entitled to for being a "nice guy" (as far as his words here--not saying he would put it that way if he were sober). Obviously, the fact that he got to spend over a year in a stable relationship that gave him a lot of pleasure while Faye's situation was far less comfortable isn't entering his drunk mind here.
