I don't know what glomp means.

It's another way of saying 'tackle-hug'.
glomps, as far as I know, have gone the way of the Yaoi Paddle. Someone was permanently paralyzed because it got taken too far, so it's now explicitly forbidden at most conventions.

Lol true but I'm not sure failing to avoid a common idiom b/c the person you are talking is stole money to become an aircraft is a faux pas. Still a funny comic tho.

--- Quote ---I’m not disagreeing that Faye has been physically violent towards Marten. I’m just saying that if a guy friend came at me with a bunch of angry nonsense and tried to pull me close to him while drunk, I’d hit him. IMO there’s better examples of Faye being violent towards Marten or being manipulative. Like, the Dora/ underwear thing was bananas.
If Dan’s anyone, he’s emotionally healthy Dora. Not Renee’s first choice, but interested and willing to pursue her. He’s also gone to college and is pursuing a career he’s passionate about. Plus Dan and Dora had style glow-ups during college.

I guess the difference is if friend (generally a female friend) that was physically weaker than me, couldn't hit as hard as me and I knew I could take them easily at any time did this to me then I wouldn't punch them
Faye knows she hits harder than Marten and can easily take Marten down any time she chooses, she choose to deck Marten because (I believe) he got uncomfortably close to the truth of the matter
She didn't punch him out of fear or danger or to defend herself, she hit Marten because of what he said and thats wrong and the comment from the author also suggests Marten was in the wrong (not saying he wasn't being a dick but he didn't deserve to be punched out like that
Also: Not a bad comment about Dan/Dora

Also Marigold's worse is just a black shirt with 'Will glomp for pocky"???? Lame
--- End quote ---
I suspect that that's the best of Marigold's worst.
I also suspect Marigold is disappointed that she couldn't convince May to take something really nerdy/cringeworthy/gross :-D
I'm imagining May going through the pile of tops, discarding them one by one, but only finding worse ones underneath - before finally returning reluctantly to the "glomp" shirt...

--- Quote ---That honestly describes Marten/Dora as well, and while they did break up, they lasted for over 1200 strips (longer than Faye/Angus) and remain good friends. Part of that situation is that Marten helped both Dora and Faye get through their respective issues, and all three are better and stronger because of it. Maybe you're right, but I don't know that it would necessarily be a bad thing.
--- End quote ---
On paper its fine but in real life I'm not so sure.
How many years did it take Marten help them both through their issues* and how much mental, physical and emotional abuse did he suffer for it
I'm still a tad surprised that Marten isn't suffering any lingering PTSD from his dealings with both. There were times going back through the pages where I genuinely thought the author hated Marten and wanted him to suffer
What really struck home hard for me was this episode: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1818 Yes Marten was out of line, yes he shouldn't have said what he said but Faye punching him, like she couldn't control herself just once, she knows what she did to him, shes knows what its like to be drunk so she could have sent him off to his room to sleep it off but no she decks him
So basically if this is a soft reboot of Faye/Marten I hope the author doesn't go to the places he went in the past, keep it fresh is what I'm saying
*I've always liked Dora because she was strong enough to recognize her issues and she knew staying with Marten would have been the easy road but she took the harder, but necessary, path to healing
*Also panel three Faye looks so much like my sister in laws wife its uncanny

I thought she hit him because he was pulling her towards him roughly, based their body language. That’s why I think she reflexively hit him.
--- End quote ---
It doesn't look like he was pulling roughly, it looked more like he wouldn't take no for an answer and the only way to stop him was to physically knock him out. It wasn't the greatest thing to do, but it was also the only way to prevent him from doing something monumentally stupid while also having it hit home hard the next morning(pun fully intended)
