Do they, though? I can remember plenty of instances where characters have acted like jerks and were called out on it. While it does seem that many of the QC denizens are quite understanding of certain people's prickly demeanors, they aren't doormats either. (Except for in the beginning, when Marten was waaaay too accepting of Faye's punches).

Most of the characters are fairly good at recognizing when their prickly friends are too out of line--for example, Faye was simply being a jerk and Dora shut her down. I think it's fair to say that often what seems like an abrasive comment turns out to be a friendly joke.
BenRG:
Tuesday's strip is where May learns that she has true friends after all. I'm expecting a breakdown of sorts because I doubt that she's ever considered herself worthy. This, by the way is why she's so prickly. You can't be hurt by friends if you have no friends, so she tries to drive everyone away. However, we see the essential punky but kind girl when she's unguarded or caught unawares.

Well lets face it Marten is the comics punching bag. Remember Bubbles first interactions with Marten as an example but one really uncomfortable strip was way back when Marten was seeing someone (can't remember her name) and then she was going to leave and she basically ghosted him then just before she was due to leave she contacts him and he (not unreasonably) wants nothing to do with her so Faye smacks him upside the head and essentially gives him the message that no matter what a girl does to him its ok and that he should always forgive them though to be fair it was a time ago so I may not be remembering it correctly but it always struck me as a really bad message, that basically Marten is not allowed to be angry especially with a girl

She's just Faye with different hair now.
Apparently Jeph has a type, too. Or at least two...
