--- Quote from: pwhodges on 05 Jun 2015, 15:33 ---BTW, I don't think anyone commented on the fact that Claire answered the call from Marten's phone. If she'd been as pissed off with him as some people conjectured, she would have let it ring.

I don't think Claire did pick up, though. Faye's wording feels an awful lot like a voicemail to me.

I think if Faye leaving a voicemail was significant and indicative of coming turmoil Jeph would have emphasized it more.
And who knows, maybe he will in upcoming strips, but I feel that the moment passed, if indeed it was ever a moment.
I think it is a little sad how absolutely insistent people are that Marten and Faye's friendship will torpedo any relationship either one has because of "jealousy" or because Marten and Faye will "always have unpurged love or sexual tension" or whatever.
It is possible, it just takes maturity and self knowledge.
While I could see Claire not having the relationship experience to be able to contain jealousy (although I hope we don't go this route, plotline wise, as it is very similar to the Dora plot) I absolutely do NOT see Marten and Faye ever having a sexual/romantic relationship, much less waking up one day and realizing that they have been "in love for years!"
themacnut:
Heh, Faye's alcoholism and the need it engenders in Marten to take care of her is going to be enough of a problem for his relationship all by itself, especially if there are more incidents like tonight (which there almost certainly will be). Like I said in previous posts in this thread, I think Claire's patience will only go so far. The only thing that will preempt the inevitable confrontation is if Marten gets sick and tired of cleaning up after Faye's drunken episodes and leaves her to face the full consequences of her next tumble off the wagon. Or perhaps Faye herself, realizing Marten's continuing willingness to care for her could cause further problems in his relationship with Claire, ends up moving out to deal with her problems on her own.

...maturity and self knowledge??
It's the absence of both that make me so concerned!
