Is it cold in here?:
He needs anti-Mobius cushions, which never run out of sides to flip. A hexaflexagon might come close.
SRRRRRRRR:
He gotta hit up craigslist.
He can sell that old couch for like thirty as long as he flips the vomit down, then buy a used couch for like fifty.
swapna:
Ah, it's getting worse and worse :(
I'm with a few other posters here - Marten should have called the emergency services immediately. Like, now. No calling Claire beforehand. And no, I don't think he already has - he's exactly where he was when he entered the room, he didn't move over to check if she's still breathing or has a pulse, which the operator would have told him to do.
It would have been way more responsible to call Claire when Faye's on the way to the hospital or already there - I mean, he probably wouldn't need to call it off anyway, he could just call the EMTs, let them take Faye and then proceed to watch a movie at Claire's. Won't take more than 15 minutes. I don't know how response-times are in the US, but they're in a city; emergency services should be at the scene in in less than 10. Of course I don't think he'll leave Faye alone when she's hurting like that, but the impression I got from his priorities (first tell his girlfriend that movie-night is off, an announcement that could have waited 10 minutes, especially when his friend might be in life-threatening danger; he didn't even check on her) is that he's mostly annoyed and way less concerned.

We don't know what happened between panels 3 & 4. He might have checked her breathing already. It looks like he hasn't moved, but it might just be the way our POV is set up. Agreed that he should be calling 911 though.
SRRRRRRRR:
In my podunk town, EMTs can do five minutes if you're lucky. I think they can do less than ten in a city.
Either way, I'm guessing that in the next comic is either going to cut to a hospital or Marten's going to slap Faye awake or be panicking about how he can't wake Faye up.
