--- Quote from: azurite on 15 Dec 2010, 12:26 ---I think we might be missing the obvious "then Hanners can CLONE him," perhaps accidentally, perhaps multiple times, so everyone can have a Marten of their very own, to do whatever they want with, be it enacting anime or whathaveyou. Hilarity definitely ensues!
--- End quote ---
I was going to say that, but she very specifically shot that option down previously with SCIENCE!

One: Don't really think either character was out of bounds here.
Two: Isn't there a saying that goes "sometimes what people take seriously are hilarious, and what people think of as a joke should be taken seriously?" For all you "he was just kidding and drunk!" that's something to ponder. But then that might also mean that over the comic there's some really screwed up sex lives.
I really, really liked this comic, it gave me some closure. I don't know which exact issue was brought to light, (breakup, UST, Marten's character) but it gave me an answer to an unknown question (42!). A drunken, violent, cryptic answer.
EDIT: misspelled "cryptic"

I understand why Marten said what he said but I think Faye totally did the right thing by knocking him the fuck out. I don't care if it is "just Marten", he's clearly not himself right now, and better safe than sorry.

Christ on a crutch. I haven't even started.
Waded through most of the shitstorm like an idiot, gave up on page 8, but I had to say this seems fairly realistic.
Marten has just had the drunken realization that his life is and has been falling apart at the seams. He is having what he believes to be a well-deserved wallow in misery because it makes a person feel better in a twisted, weird way.
Coming on to Faye was an extension of this in a couple ways, mostly in the "misery loves company", and the fact that in a way, she's part of the problem.
I have done this. Not triggered by a romantic falling-out, but general "Fuck it, my life is shit."
My best friend's response was a hefty (verbal) punch in the kisser, (Thankfully only verbal. He's built like a bear and could do some serious damage), and it had the effect of snapping me out of it, back into my normal train of thought with the realization of "Okay, this wasn't helping anything. Uhm, thanks for smacking me back to reality? Sorry I was a bitch?" :psyduck:
I'm wagering it'll have the same effect on Marten. Yes, he was a dick. Maybe Faye was going a bit overboard in "decking" him (I think she just shoved him off and he hit the floor out of alcohol-filled joints before she moved to her muay thai stance in case of further harassment) but it may have been just what the doctor ordered to get him out of a nasty downward spiral. Worked for me :-D
