It will be a long time before Claire is entirely or even partially cured of the fear that Marten will one day say 'no'.
As an antidote to my post at the top of this page, here's my way I'd like to see Marten/Claire intimacy confirmed:
PANEL 1 (half-height): Extreme close up of Claire asleep, head pillowed on one hand;
PANEL 2 (half-height): Claire awakes, suddenly, eyes wide;
PANEL 3 (half height): Wider frame, Claire is lying on a man's naked chest, she looks surprised and maybe a little afraid;
PANEL 4 (half height): Claire is looking up at her sleeping partner's face; her face has relaxed into a lazy, happy smile;
PANEL 5 (full width): Claire is lying on Marten's chest on a bed with tussled sheets. She's closed her eyes again and has tucked herself closer into him, his arm curled around her back and his other hand curled up to touch her face.
No dialogue, no awkward consideration of anatomy, just that simple moment and it need never be directly referred to again.

Re Faye.
"Houston we've had a problem".
ReindeerFlotilla:
Marten is blissfully unaware that Faye has a problem, as is Dora. That's a prediction.
Nothing else makes sense, unless they've been planning an intervention off screen. Jeph's got nearly 11 years of material that's trained us to expect the dots to be connected for us in fairly short order. But he's been leaving dots out more and more since just before the squee bomb went off. Since since the Fangus dropped over the falls, he's really been doubling down on bringing things right up to potential crisis point and then skipping to a new thread.
He used to do that just to drags thing out but lately he's not picking up the old threads.
There are two possibilities (that seem likely): This is how he rolls now. Or, He's struggling with a difficult subject.
Alcoholism--especially in a gag-a-day--can degenerate to bad trope at superluminal speeds. And that's if you're being careful. This might just be hard to write.
What Faye is doing is friendship ending stuff. I know from experience. I expect we've got at least another day (in comic) before this becomes fully realized.
Date night is the appropriate setup, so the Dora side of the conflict could go off and leave Faye alone and under stress. But I wouldn't bet on it right now.
NilsO:
Scenario: Clinton and Claire start a sibling fight over which movie to watch. Neither back down. Meanwhile, Emily and Marten look deeply into each other's eyes, and realize there are better options...
Neko_Ali:
*gets out the squeehammer and waves it threateningly* No! Bad NilsO!
