He, it was just a joke, didn't mean to you take it seriously..
And of course! it's always nice to people join and have diferent points of views!

Ugh, that's when it gets really nasty.... But it got me curious. How do you people (and i mean United Staste of Americans) prepare yerba mate? you put the herbs in a tea bag and it's like a regular tea?
'Cause here we use the "classic" way, with the gourd and silver straw and all that

--- End quote ---
Sexual assault doesn't require violence. It's just requires unwanted sexual contact.
Now whether you define the arm round the shoulder a sexual in the context of the strip is difficult call. I'm very narrowly coming down on the side of no, but that may reflect my bias in that I like Marten. However, it really doesn't look like it would take much to cross that boundary so I see Faye's punchiness as understanderble, if not perhaps fully justified.

...And that was before I even started! Gah.
Recently-new member, if any "clique" has a problem they can meet me by the bike-racks after school. :roll:
Anyway- Marten doesn't seem to have much in-between, does he? A lot of people were hoping he'd "show a spine" or what have you, I mean. Judging by this,he really only seems to have two 'gears': Very-Very Passive, and Dickish.
I'm not gonna suggest a storyline should involve him being in therapy (though I probably would if it happened IRL), because everyone did that for Dora, and Faye's in therapy, and Hanners of course- having the entire main cast in therapy just seems odd to me. But, man, learn some sort of behavior between "Okay world, run me over" and "utter jackass". (Fighting the monks doesn't count.)
In other news, Faye decks Marten... and since this was the main (Sorry there's no other word for it) punchline of the strip for a long time, at least it has a context that makes sense this time. (That is, a lot of strips ended with: Marten says something vaguely offensive to Faye, next panel he's not visible because she Done KOed Him Again.)

Must type faster.
ta-kun_1986:
Just wanna point out I said assault not harassment, I never said harassment had to be violent. Assault on the other hand by definition is violent. I would agree that he's sexually harassing Faye but harassment can easily be just verbal. All I'm saying taken out of context would you automatically interpret the illustration as he's groping her if the dialogue where something completely different. I guess I just go based on what put in front of me. If Martens hand was shown in the vicinity of breast I'd automatically think groping but all you see is upper arm. I don't know, like I said I just want to give Marten more credit than that I guess.

Sexual Assault requires no violence.
