That said, I don't think Faye used excessive force here. I doubt she jackhammered the guy. He was already drunk and unsteady, I'd buy that he went down from a basic "get away from me!" punch.

Well, that depends to a large degree on how you interpret that last panel. Between her words and the stars, I sure took it to mean that she'd KO'd him.

I can't help but wonder if Marten was somewhat reacting to what Dora told him when they broke up. I mean, the reason Dora said she broke up with him was because she was worried he still had feelings for Faye, right? Perhaps in his drunken state he thought he might as well do what Dora obviously expected of him, which is basically act like a jerk and go after Faye.
Personally, I predict that Marten's going to wake up hungover, Faye (or someone Faye told) will explain how he acted while he was drunk, he'll feel terrible, things will be awkward between Faye and him for a while, and then Marten will apologise and be forgiven, although things may not return entirely to normal immediately.

When Faye punched Raven to the floor, she had stars, but was still conscious - because she said how pretty the stars were.

I kinda assumed that Faye's last statement was to be taken as "I knocked you out, so you probably won't remember what you've done when you wake up"...

Oooh, I never considered that maybe, just maybe, Marty might subconsciously blame Faye for the break-up and that's what we're seeing here.
Keyword there was "subconscious". Probably should even make it "drunken, liquor-tainted subconscious".

I took it as a reference to him downing a whole bottle of bourbon. Used to call that 'erasing the mind' back in the day, myself. Lord knows she'd have plenty of experience with morning-after-bourbon side-effects.
