--- 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'.

Yeah, I agree. I have noted that his relationships seem rather one sided all in all. Dora freaks the hell out and dumps him the first time he really asserts himself with her and Faye punches him when she could have simply dropped him on his drunken ass. He owns his bad behavior and his poor choice of words but as I've said before, where is the grace for Martin in all of this? Is he only worth a damn when one of these girls has something to whine about to him?

I dunno, based on twitter Jeph has been drawing for awhile. Isn't Yelling Bird just copy and paste?
LeeC:
I dont tweet, but thanks for the info :-)

--- Quote from: Razgriz on 16 Dec 2010, 00:08 ---Again, this is like Marten saying "Oh, sorry that you're worried about Angus, Faye, but I'm making out with Dora in here. I'll come talk to you in a few hours" and slamming the bedroom door in her face after she knocked that one night.

Okay, let's use that situation as an example. What does Marten do in the 24 hours after that?
(1) He makes himself available immediately to Faye. (Just like Faye did for him.)
(2) Marten leaves the apartment and goes for a walk. (We'll give him a pass since the Dora stuff went down. Faye, of course, remained available until Marten went to bed.)
(3) Marten has a brief conversation with Faye in the morning. (Just like Faye did with him.)
(4) Marten doesn't talk to Faye all that day. (Just like Faye did.)
(5) In fact, Marten doesn't get home that next night until very late. We see him walking through the front door after Hannelore got back from her date with Sven. (In other words, he gets home right around the same time Faye did.)
You've got a double-standard here. Even your own example demonstrates that you're wrong about this.
