Pre-new moderator I'd expect that to open the door to lots of freudian analysis/commentary about Marten's tendency to be attracted to women that treat him like shit >50% of the time and how he'd probably really enjoy it, referencing Oedipal complex stuff and his mother's occupation (and someone posting overly wordy fiction about Veronica showing up mid-beating and giving Faye pointers, etc.).
EDIT: Fixed for clarity.
Wiregeek:
I don't think there's anything in the comic to support Marten as a masochist.
pwhodges:
I don't see that ("Marten's tendency to go after women that treat him like shit") as a realistic judgement based on what we actually know, though. He and Vicky were fine for a while, but then grew apart and ended unsatisfactorily, which is not an uncommon stage in life; Faye he hankered after, but she didn't treat him like shit (play-punching and being unavailable aren't enough to qualify); and Dora, well, she chased him, and didn't treat him like shit until sometime after they were together.
tbones:
I don't know, just a hunch i have. Not really probable, but if Marten keeps on drinking, until he gets really, and i mean REALLY wasted. Then Faye comes into the apartment and sees Marten in a bad state... and well, there you got a fight (or not? Maybe Faye change personalites drastically and instead of reprehend him, she takes care of him, until he sober up?)
I don't know, it really seems unlikely, but since Marten and Dora broke up i have my sense of doom it's on all the friggin' time.
themacnut:
More likely, if Marten keeps drinking, that Faye will come home to find him passed out on the couch face down in his own vomit. Can't fight with an unconscious person now can you? Thus her Mama Bear instinct will kick in and she'll feel compelled to take care of Marten-which he will hear about in the morning, especially if Faye has to clean up his puke.
