Well, that was a brilliant strip in all technical and artistic terms! The use of silence and alternating black panels did a great job of communicating Faye's condition. Panels 2 and 4 also establish just how serious the situation is for Faye and how worried Marten is.
Marten tried to wake Faye and failed (comprehensible, given the group's hard-drinking ways - He wouldn't automatically think that it was an emergency); he then called the EMTs, who took her to hospital. Intoxicated and disoriented, Faye lashed out and hit Marten, although it looks like there was little strength in it. The last two panels are her slipping into deeper unconsciousness, although the EKG sounds steady, so no worries there.
She's going to be in the hospital for at least a day, IMHO. The doctors will want to be sure her vitals are steady and she hasn't suffered any damage. Faye's out of the direct story for now; the rest of the week will be the repercussions for her friends. As I said last week, Dora is going to have a serious guilt trip and her friends will need to stop her doing anything stupid.
HiFranc:
Dora may try to resolve her guilt by lashing out at Sven.

Ah yes Jeph's "skewed heads" period... I don't miss it, but hope the soundtrack for Wednesday's comic is "kiss on my bump"
