Dr. ROFLPWN:
I was going to say it, but Yellowstone beat me to it. She looks more matronly this way, though. I miss her red necklace, but one's outfits change, of course.

Marianne Faithful's mother was still getting wolf-whistles (remember them?) in the street in her late 50s.

@Overkillengine: So, the best way for Marten to start taking control of his life and asserting himself more is to insult, slut-shame, and belittle his best friend? Is that what you're saying?
(The idea that Faye is a malignant parasite is so laughable I won't even engage it, so if that's the crux of your thought...welp.)

No, but thanks for the assumption. Made me feel warm and fuzzy! :-P
It's not the best step, but it is at least a step at all.
Even if unjustified, the outburst can be reflecting something he's been feeling. And being able to express something (however negatively) at all, is an improvement over just sitting on it until it comes out in a truly destructive manner.

Probably because it's funny. :mrgreen:

At least to me. I can't promise to please everyone else.

--- End quote ---
This stereotype is being waved around far too much it seems to me; in any case, "Nice Guy" is used in so many rather contradictory ways that it fails even as a stereotype.

Shrug. Closest fit. I could have typed up an entire paragraph, or in the interests of brevity, used a simple phrase that maybe not perfectly describes a fictional character's traits as it relates to real world social dynamics. (Yes, using big words make me feel smartier)

In the last panel Marten's reaching back to slip a note into his mother's hand with Sven's address and details about Dora's routine on it. He just didn't want possible witnesses hearing him tell Veronica that he wanted Dora dead; that would make him an accomplice!
