New poll is up.
I could have gone on, but I was afraid there might be more options than voters.
Paranoid:
Wow. And I thought I had a sheltered upbringing. I'm guessing you never roughhoused with your siblings as a kid, stoutfiles (assuming you had/grew up with siblings)? Don't get me wrong, I don't think anyone's asking you to condone all slapping and other physical force (I'm certainly not), we're just asking you to accept that some groups of people have a different tolerance level than others, especially when there is no intended malice behind it (and let's face it, as douchy as Steve gets at times I just don't see him as being actively malicious).
Also, I find it hilarious how serious some people take issues like slapping and 'squeaking' in a comic where outright violence was once the accepted norm.
jwhouk:
It's been a LONG time since that comic.
akronnick:
They've indeed come along way from that to this!

Slaps to the back of the head are demeaning. Any head slapping, knocking, etc is demeaning. "Hello? McFly? Anyone home?". That's what I think of. Now Steve wasn't going that far, but he could make his point without hitting his friend. Like I said before, Steve would be in a crumpled heap if he did that to me. There's joking around, and then there's the "I think you're dumb so I'm going to hit you" that I wouldn't tolerate. I hope no one here accepts being hit. Look at Marten slunched over afterwards. Grow a spine.
Actually, it is a normal reaction given the situation. He's getting attached to a girl that's leaving. By going dancing he's just making it worse. He needs to find a girl who is not leaving. He also needs to find a guy friend that isn't a douche, but one thing at a time.

Friendship levels can be measured on how much of a jack you can be to each other.
Male friends, especially. This was not a punch, Marten has seen and gotten this [dope slap], and so have I, and I have given it. It just means 'Yo, clear your head, this is something AWESOME!' I can understand if they just met, but they've been friends for years. And even if it was a new person, Marten wouldn't go to fisticuffs, he'll investigate, and most likely set a line, that's all.
