I feel that I should state, unequivocally, that I was not referring to anyone who is a current member of this forum. Valky was just being funny in her own way.

This is the first thing I’ve read on this forum that made me laugh out loud, and I’ve never even watched Letterman, nor do I know who he is, other than that he’s a chatshow host? Is he similar to Jimmy Kimmel? Regardless, I think that was comedy nailing, my friend.

I actually haven't seen any significant Claire-hate on this strip either here or on the Subreddit (the latter being a shock as the place is virulently anti-Claire but only the resident bitter transphobe has criticised her). I would say that the responses I've seen have been about 7/8 saying Faye was in the wrong or at the very least saying that she is under duress due to her trying to break an addiction and a mistake like this shouldn't be held against her.

I once looked at that subreddit out of curiosity. It seems rather angry. Part of the reason I chose to start posting on this forum was because it seemed like one of the most thoughtful forums out there. I haven’t seen any particularly virulent Claire-hate here either. I feel like this might be the only place where people can legitimately discuss Claire’s personality / portrayal, without getting into things that are basically irrelevant.

To which he replied with an "I Know, Isn't It Great" attitude. After trying twice and failing, Faye took maters into her own hands, and i really can't fault her for it, because the person who should have been telling Clare to tone it down, was instead passively encouraging her to take it up to eleven.

Yeah, he really should've controlled his uppity girl. How dare she comment on a metal penis. Girlfriends should be seen and not heard.

Better to say he should have been more attentive to the situation, and reined in his guest.
I don't know, maybe my circle has different social dynamics, but for us, taking responsibility for a guest is a thing. If you invite someone over who gets drunk, and they shit in the sink, you get to clean it up; if your guest blows their stack, and starts punching holes in the walls, or knocking out windows, you pay for the repairs; and if your guest is being an obnoxious ass, who's pissing other people off, it's on you to tell them to knock it off, or take them home. So in my mind, when Faye turns to Marten as the person who invited Claire, and not once but twice calls attention to the fact that her shit is wearing thin, it was his responsibility to take some form of action. Instead he keeps going "I Know" with that "isn't it so wonderful" smile on his face, completely oblivious to the fact that what he finds so cute, and endearing, others find grating on the same level as masturbating with a cheese shredder.

I do feel that this is going to build up to Marten standing up to Faye (in his own milquetoast way). While I get that you think it's never going to happen (given their history), Marten is eventually going to have to do so for Faye's own good. I recall him doing it before for other characters (I want to say he told her not to tease Hannelore, but I could have that wrong), so doing it for Claire would be in character. But honestly, I think he'll have a heart to heart with Faye not because of this, but because Faye's life has imploded on her, and her surliness isn't going to help. Ultimately, both ladies are acting poorly here, and I think Marten's face in the last panel makes it clear he is realizing this.
It'll be interesting, what happens. On a side note, I can also see Pintsize being the one who sets/helps Faye the most. We've seen his rational-sensible side before (his conversation with Momo about his relationship with Marten), and he's good about having heart to hearts with people. He's also the third roommate in the apartment, and probably knows more about Faye and Marten than they realize.

Nope- I stand by my antiquated thoughts! Give me my 63 gallons to a Hogshead, none of this modern metric crap! Lazy Whales, gettin' fat off the govn'ment!
