Ha ha yes I am shooting for Mr. Popularity this month. :-D
And to be honest I am not totally proud of my wall of short responses, and didn't give that post the time it really needed. My only defense is that there were so many posts I wanted to respond to!
So seeing as I don't really have the time to continue to commit as much time as I would like, I'll bail. Except I will just part by saying that Faye really isn't being a "heartless beast". Truely. It may come across that way to some, but I do believe that not only does she have Marten's best interests at heart, but as well as that, Marten will very quickly appreciate what Faye has done for him. It's tough love - cliche, but there it is. He's not going to come to resent her approach in the same way as he does his mother's.
Even if you don't believe that her approach was ideal (maybe it wasn't) but her heart was definitely in the right place. She is trying to help him, not to "kick" him or be malicious.
Now I'd better close this browser window and get some real work done.

In a week like this, I sometimes look at the forum on my screen and say to myself: "it's all just electrons - none of it is real".

Hmm, I'd like to clarify for my own sake at least that my opinion of Faye's actions is not based upon her gender.
You could literally replace Faye with Steve in the last two strips and I'd think he was being unduly harsh and a pretty lame friend, as I think Faye was. For me at least it's not gender specific.
It doesn't help that Steve is one of the other characters who I feel contributes to Marten's environment of browbeating.
If it was Hanners, Penelope, Tai or Angus handing out this kind of smack down, I would stop and go "Aw jeez! they really must know something about this, or Marten must be acting like a dick!" - because these people do not habitually harass and browbeat Marten. See what I'm getting at?

Oh GREAT, now we're going to get existential. Jesus Huggy Bear Christ, I'd better get a beer.
