Starring Sir Laurence Olivier as Marten and (in a crossover of a sort) BRIAN BLESSED! as (the voice of) Pintsize.

Hasn't this entire skit been an about Dora and control, as someone said?
I'm struggling to bring this together into a coherent post but here goes.
Dora has been told her control issues effect her day to day life.
Faye interacts with Sam in a way Dora doesn't approve of (Based on Dora's earlier "Faye..." comments starting in comic 2176)
It kind seems to me that Dora can't exert control over the situation and doesn't want to blow her top at Faye in front of Sam in order to gain control, perhaps because Sam's a kid and she doesn't think it'd be appropriate, or because Jim might hear about it, or even because she's trying not to be as controlling.
She certainly hasn't made a great impression on Sam, no matter what her motivations are.
But there's no conclusion to make right now - Dora's actions may have been a habitual "back off if you can't control it" or may have been her trying to be more laid back about not being in control and coming across in a slightly strange way, and I think the next couple of strips (if they stay centred on Dora) might shed some light on the matter...

Well, I'm only even reasonably familiar with two productions of Henry V ... and I can't see Branagh as Marten. But have at it, all ... for the mind candy if for nothing else.
