what the hell? I didn't think Marten would ever let that kind of thing happen, but, reading back, he sometimes got kinda really drunk, and didn't handle the situations... the best way.
And does this confession mean he just put up a happy face when Faye had her "relationship" with Sven? As far as I remember, he even defended her against Dora, but also mentioned his not being angry had something to do with the hot, hot Dora-sexin'.

Drunken bitterness or not, I HIGHLY doubt Faye is gonna forgive Marten easily both for what he said and tried to do. He will be paying for this night for some time to come, and I ain't talking 'bout the hangover either.

Eh, I don't think it will be that hard. Faye's honest, she doesn't put up with that kind of behaviour, but she also knows that she owes Marten big time, and that he's in a real bad place now. She'll be there for him as she was for Dora, angry or not.
Carl-E:
But she will be angry. This is not something easily forgotten.
Well, not when you're the sober party.
She'll forgive him soon enough, but won't forget.
Dr. ROFLPWN:
She may be angry, but she wont stew, methinks, and she knows what's said is alcohol-influenced. Faye has become very good at just getting issues out there and confronting them.
I think, based on what she did with the other "I chose Angus over Marty D:" scenario, where she was honest and contrite about making Marten jump through hoops rather than just telling him up front about her father's suicide, she will probably confront Marten with what he said, once they're both ready, and ask him very quietly how much he means that.
If Marten deserves half the positive read we give him, he will drop his own defenses and admit to the girl that is plainly his Goddamn moirail and deserves his trust pretty implicitly that he is hurting so Goddamn bad right now and of course he didn't mean that shit.

Perhaps he should take an extended vacation back home with mom (in other words RUN FOR HIS LIFE!!). Eh, wait, he can't be the Chew Toy if he's gone...

The only possible way this could get truly dark is if Jeph has Marten staggering back up in tomorrow's strip and unleashing even more verbal stuff and/or an actual retaliation (or attempt at one, pulling back to let fly a return punch and tripping and face-planting, then throwing up and laying passed out in his own puke).
That, or having actual, serious injuries result from this punching Faye gave him. I'm talking actual concussion territory, cracked cheekbone/jaw, something.
Either way, Faye moves out and Marten has to finally get his own round of therapy, because this Nice Guy stuff that peeked out has always been there (as I've been repeatedly telling people in the various discussions of Marten's personality over the years here).
EDIT: 2 replies posted while I typed this.

Marten meant every single word, it just took the bourbon for him not to care anymore about the consequences of actually saying what he meant. He's wrong, we know this, but this is what he truly thinks of what has been going on and I'm actually kind of surprised Jeph himself threw out such a blatant "Yep, Marten is still the Nice Guy he was back in strip #1" billboard for everyone arguing over his personality.

Where does this word come from, and what does it mean or imply? I've never known Google to be so useless!
