Agreeing overall with your point here, but am I just misremembering things? Because, my 'toughness heirarchy' for the main characters goes Dora-> Faye> (Justabouteveryoneelse. OnEarth.)->Marten. I mean, we've seen Faye actually scared of Dora at one point, right?

Scared and physically tough or two different things.
On that scale of psychological fear, it would even have Marten's Mom > Everyone else > Marten.

Well... this can only be settled one way: QC Fighting Game, Street Fighter style.
(Of course, we all know Hanners wins by developing a style that ends up being super-precise nerve strikes, so she can touch people as little as possible. ;) )
LeeC:
only if marten gets to use guitar power.

Ooooh, if only that were real and up on Steam...

--- Quote from: mira on 15 Dec 2010, 11:03 ---Martin's been a good friend to her and has helped her sort her stuff out. Martin took her at face value, and gave her up because she wasn't up to having a relationship. He attempted to move on, shoving his feelings for her aside and exploring his feelings for Dora.

If he did any of those things with the expectation of some sort of "return on investment" pass to get Faye-booty, then he isn't a very good friend. Friends help each other because they want to help each other, not because there is some quid pro quo situation. Being nice to someone when they are depressed or hurting is not a free pass into their pants and the perception that it somehow should be is why some guys/girls get mean in this kind of situation (not necessarily Marten).
--- Quote from: mira on 15 Dec 2010, 11:03 ---Yeah, that would make anyone wonder. It comes back to "Why wasn't it me?". Now he's dumped, and Faye has her new boyfriend. The snark says "I've been used." And I wonder if in some sense he hasn't.
--- End quote ---
Not used. He freely offered help and compassion to Faye. If he hoped to get something more than friendship in return, it is not her fault for not reciprocating.
I honestly hope that is not the direction that Marten takes. He could use this as a way to work on himself and learn that, even when something hurts, it isn't necessarily all about you - or any about you for that matter. I would hate to think that he is that duplicitous, but if you'd asked me yesterday, I'd have said he wasn't capable of today's comic either.
