All of this happening... just... so... sad. :(
As for the debate over Marten and Faye's behavior, I don't really see it as a huge deal. I mean, he said some things he shouldn't have while drunk and she punched him. Apologies are in order and I think sufficient considering the situation. I mean, seriously, if a guy friend of mine made a move on me while drunk, I'd probably punch him too.

What Marten did could fit the definition of sexual assault in some states (though more likely a milder variation on the offense). OTOH, if this were real-life Faye could have just killed him there. A concussion on top of a bottle of bourbon could very easily mean you pass out and never wake up.

There is a part of me that kind of hopes this happens, if only for the massive drama bomb fallout that would happen after.

I don't buy that. A drunk dude moving in for a kiss you don't want is licence to shove him off, not punch him hard enough to knock him over and leave him sprawled on the ground with cartoon stars of unconsciousness floating above him.

Didn't say it was out of character! Just a shitty thing to do. Apologies are warranted on both sides, here.

Re: how sad this is
Same here - this was a heartbreaking strip to read. For me, even more so than the breakup. I'm having trouble speculating about the ramifications in future strips because I can't quite figure out how seriously this will be treated. I think it's because today defied by expectations for QC so much (not in a bad way... just in a... um, defying way).

(oh, hi, this is a bummer of a first post ever here)

And wouldn't that be a pisser over the next hundred comics or so.
