From a literary point of view, the lack of Marten - or anybody - in that last "awake" panel also serves well as a reminder that however much support and friendship a person in this circumstance has, in the end the path of self-destruction is a tragic, lonely and selfish one.
It's superbly crafted. Concern, intervention, support, lashing out, loneliness. It's a whole arc compressed into five flashes. I've been reading QC since practically day one, and Jeph's talent as a storyteller has only grown with time. I'm thoroughly impressed.
Halloween Jack:
This is a very good portrayal of what it's like to be blackout drunk--you can be awake, interacting with people, doing stuff that you wouldn't normally do, but your memory of what you did is sporadic or non-existent, until enough alcohol has been processed by your body. Source: my second DUI arrest.

Not impossible, but difficult. I think the EMT was surprised the punch wasn't directed at one of them. It usually is.
Go ahead, ask me how I know.

Quite true. The antereograde amnesia is quite common when one blacks-out (whether it's something like the Ambien Walrus or alcohol). I don't know what's worse… having no memory of the situation, or having only flashes of it that can't pieced together.

--- End quote ---
CAD's author is... well, not well-regarded in webcomic circles. He had, at one point, a running feud with another long-time comic artist (rhymes with "Wurtz") and was/is seen as a copy-cat who writes to the lowest common denominator.
Personally, I gave up on the three comics that were involved in the whole mess a long time ago - some of it for personal reasons.
