If Dora is facing into the couch while trying to go up the stairs, she's already in a bad balancing position with regard to carrying that end of the couch up the stairs (unless she lifts it up to her shoulders and uses her arms to push it up that way, requiring a lot more work in addition to lifting with her legs like she is now).
--- Quote ---And what is this heavy end of which you speak? Last I checked most couches were symmetrical.
--- End quote ---
The end of the couch Dora is holding, where all of the weight is on her and all Sven and Faye are doing is keeping the front end from hitting the stairs as Dora pushes the couch up?
--- Quote ---And there's no sign that either currently harbours ill thoughts towards the other. Not that they actually know that since there hasn't been any contact. Regardless, Marten wasn't using Faye to keep at a distance from Dora; quite the opposite in fact.
--- End quote ---
Marten plainly does, considering how he had to psyche himself up for going to the coffee shop to begin with.
DSL:
Aw crappin' crap craps, to quote a character of whom I'd like to see more.
Or maybe daaaaaaaaaaaaannnnng, to quote a couple others.
I was going to post something trenchant and witty about how moving couches can start a war among a group of pacifists, but y'all have taken care of that.
Sounds like the car wreck and the space shuttle explosion finally had their baby.
Border Reiver:
The part of this that is amusing to me is that people are referring to the "light" and "heavy" ends of the couch as if the mass shifts when you bring it up the stairs. Having moved a number of pieces of furniture up and down stairs from both sides I will simply state that whatever end you have is the "heavy end", unless of course all the change in the couch has shifted to one side.

--- Quote ---The wiki is nothing whatever to do with Jeph.
--- End quote ---
Pretty much my point (can't use it as a reliable source for answering comic-related questions, especially given how easily wikis are vandalized/altered).
--- End quote ---
Wrong, it can be used as a reliable source if the citations in place are accurate and verified by canonical articles. Unless you're suggesting that someone has also vandalised or altered the comic archive in order to correlate with an altered wiki entry. However, were that the situation, then the wiki would still be as reliable a source of information as the comic itself. Perhaps worth mentioning that referencing the wiki rather than the comic archive itself is the same as using any dedicated reference source on a specific subject in which it houses and groups information with a greater ease of access.

--- End quote ---
Psyching himself up doesn't necessarily mean he has ill thoughts, or even believes she has. It's most likely simple nervousness.
I presume you have never experienced this feeling in this situation, as you seem not to recognise it.
