WHAT. THE. FREAKING. HECK ?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!
Marten has been the super-nice guy for ALL of the comic.
And he violates it ONCE. While being drunk. Immediately after the breakup with his girlfriend.
And INSTANTLY there are people assume he will do that ALWAYS from now on ?!?!??
To FAYE, who can defend herself extremely well ? She's probably even physically stronger than Marten.
What the heck ?!?!?!?!??

I think thats another way. Nothing I'd say to anyone myself, even drunkenly I'd hope, but he's taken more than enough of his ration of shit and I think everybody should get one. Of course I knew he was gonna ktfo'd once he tried touching Faye. Is it just me or is that the first time we've seen her actually commit an act of violence explicitly?

Um, honesty ? Personally I think he's just repeating now the stupid theories that have been thrown at him all the time while he was with Dora.
They are still as stupid as before, but as he is drunk now, he is no longer able to see that, and actually believes them right now.
Also, um, havent you ever read the early QC comics ? Faye has been a lot more violent in the past, especially in the early comics.

--- Quote from: Odin on 15 Dec 2010, 04:55 ---Yeah, shame he just fucked that right on up, though.
--- End quote ---
Yes, he did fuck up, but I don't think Faye won't forgive him.
--- End quote ---
That line about how at least one of them wouldn't remember what happened indicates otherwise.
--- End quote ---
I think that indicates she's pissed off by what he just spouted, is what it indicates, and she's got every right. But this is Faye, and she has said straight out that Marten is her best friend in the world and she can barely take him being mad at her. She'll give him a sober chance to apologize and spill his guts.
If he tries to act all nonchalant and hipster cool, THEN he's fucked it right up.

--- End quote ---
Well, he is drunk... Oh dear.
Not playpunching.

Well, duh. He's drunk and he's getting aggressive when she's clearly not comfortable with the situation. Faye did absolutely the right thing on this one.
The possible repercussions of this, though, worry me. Marten officially ventured into the realm of Doing Something Creepy this time, and sure, he was drunk, but the fact remains that he crossed the line from being a nice guy to being a Nice Guy. That stands to potentially cause... problems, maybe not on a #500 level, but enough to kick the current drama up another notch.
In other words, yeah; I'm with Boomslang.
