ReindeerFlotilla:
I'm not trying to challenge anyone's right to detest fictional characters, but I gotta ask: If you hate [insert appropriate girl's name here] so much, why do you read the comic?
I am honestly unable to guess why, and I really would like to know.

"Eye of the shitstorm", eh? Sounds nice...
I'm sad that Marten's date was cancelled. Damn you, Faye!

"Eye of the Shitstorm" is my Alestorm cover band.
Is it awful that the first thing I imagined when I saw Pintsize was South Park?
Oh my god, she killed Pintsize!
You bastard!
Reaver:
The word I used was /dislike/ I do not HATE her, I reserve hate for REAL people, and me DISLIKING a character due to how they act isn't a discredit to the author, the fact I can feel ANYTHING for any of the characters period is a testimony to the authors writing, and besides me disliking Faye does not discredit my opinion in the slightest, last I checked one of the rules of the site wasn't "You must like ALL OF THE CHARACTERS to discuss them"

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.

I agree everything you say about what the responsible thing for Martin to do would have been but people do not always act responsibly.
It may wishful thinking on my part but I think it would be plausible for Martin to release that his friend might be in life-threatening danger as the penny drops either just after he finished the call or as he is telling Claire what happened. Assuming he has not phoned the EMT's already or coarse.
