But cats do that when they aren't deaf as well.
But I just ignore them until they do something that actually entertains me.

we have another cat that isnt deaf and she meows only when she is hungry or want attention. This little dude is singing as he does everything.

I honestly don't have enough experience in this field to argue it, but in my books what he did was a jerk move but in no way illegal. and he was disproportionally punished for it.

Yeah, I'm not clear where the "sexual harassment" talk is coming from. I have to assume these people are posting from somewhere outside the United States, because in the United States sexual harassment only applies to the work place. And in many states Marten would actually have to be Faye's superior or supervisor in order for sexual harassment to even possibly exist.
And if someone does live in a country where drunkenly propositioning a girl actually constitutes sexual harassment please let me know. 'Cause that's a country I never want to visit. God knows what other fucked up laws they've got on the books.
With that being said: Really no question Marten is being a dick here. And Faye hitting people when they're being dicks is pretty much par for the course. And readers treating Faye's comedic punches as if they were an abusive reality is even more par for the course. Welcome to Questionable Content.
Final thought: I'm unhappy with this strip because Marten seems completely out of character to me. And I don't think the booze justifies it.
--- Quote from: Razgriz on 15 Dec 2010, 23:49 ---I seem to recall Marten being there for Faye any time she needed him. Literally any time. The Sven-cheating thing, the scared-over-Angus thing. Even after the first Dora-Kiss he went right to Faye and let her know, showing he cared about her.
Faye's reaction to Marten being in emotional peril for the first time ever was to cut her evening making out with Angus slightly short. Imagine if Marten's response to Faye being sad was 'that's nice, bye! Going to Dora's place'.

Actually, the first thing Faye did was stay up and wait for Marten to get home. And then they talked about it.
Then the next day she cut her plans short so that she could go and check to see how Marten was doing.

Oh, shit's been real for quite a few strips now...
I guess what I really mean is: Please, please Mr. Jeph sir, please stop making the fictional characters that we all obsess about and live vicariously through stop saying mean things to each other.

Faye stayed up to see what happened and then Marten went right to bed. In the morning they talked for a few minutes and he said 'don't hurt Dora'. Then Faye went to work, then out with Angus for hot make-outs. She cut her plans slightly short (she wasn't going to stay the night and bang him or anything, it couldn't have been more than an hour shorter than she'd usually leave) to go and see how Marten was doing. Her first words through the door weren't 'how do you feel', they were 'OMG you drank HOW MUCH?'. Remember the big deal when Marten accidentally implied Faye was an alcoholic? Yeah, she kind of did the same thing here, meaning she messed up twice as a 'friend'.
