MARTEN WILL BE SO ANGRY.Dora would just have to quick nuzzle at his neck a bit, and he'd be fine again.
Dora
Source of Anger: Expressly forbid any Sven/employee hijinks emphatically on several occasions due to Sven ruining her friendships.
Mitigating Factor: Faye gave Dora a free pass when she hooked up with Faye.
It depends on where the Sven - Faye relationship is going.
An actual relationship - Probably Marten. She strung him along for a long time, only to turn him down, and now she's hooked up with a guy "she barely knows"? Ouch.
Friend with benefits - Your guess is as good as mine. Could be either of them.
One-night stand - Dora. She'll fly off the handle, assuming Sven used his trademark smarm to get into Faye's pants. It can only go downhill from there.

There's debate about this? Dora, hands down.
Dora has several other possible sources of anger.
- Dora is actively paranoid that Faye might make a play for Marten. There's several ways that this situation could, at least in Dora's mind, make that more likely.
- Dora has warned Sven off from Faye as well - for *his* sake. (She's worried that Faye will mess up Sven like she did Marten.)
- Dora's been flirting (jokingly?) with Faye for the whole run of the comic. She just might feel a twinge of sibling jealousy.
- The 'ewww' factor (Purple elephants! Everything is ruined forever!)
Mitigating Factor: Faye gave Dora a free pass when she hooked up with Faye.(You meant "...with Marten" but we get the point.)
Just watch Jeph turns it around on all of us and makes Dora actually happy for Faye. :-)

I would imagine that Marten will have mixed feelings, but he's not really the sort of guy who gets really angry, and he's just spent approximately the last 24 hours happily in bed with Dora so he's not gonna suddenly turn around and be really pissed off that he can't have Faye too.
Whether anyone tops it or not, I don't think we're going to see light, happy banter about indie bands, Asian martial-arts films, or other pop-culture stuff anytime soon.
I don't think Faye betrayed Marten. Nor do I think Marten betrayed Faye when he started dating Dora. They talked about this (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=509).
As for pregnancy, it's been suggested, but largely discounted. That really doesn't seem like a direction Jeph would take the comic.

How does QC time compare to actual time? How much time in the lives of your characters has elapsed since this comic began?
You know how glass isn't actually a solid, but an extremely viscous liquid? Yeah.
So even though he didn't get upset you guys think he will.
FAYE AND MARTEN 4EVER
Um, I'm having a REAL hard time understanding why Faye has to tell ANYONE. I think this is a very strange storyline. Why is her sex life any of Dora's or Marten's business???
Wow. Marten is actually reacting to the news in a rational way. Human beings behaving rationally! This makes me so happy!
There is a very simple, biological reason for why he's pretty cool with everything (besides that fact that there would be no reason for Faye to ever cruelly hurt her best friend by sleeping with another guy): Dora-sexin'. When guys have a regular amount of sex, they get a nice steady supply of a brain-drug that makes them happy (serotonin, I believe). They are calm and content. When they don't get a regular amount of sex, the serotonin supply dries up, making them irritable and desperate to have sex. (Dr. Phil said it, so it must be true.)
That means the universe was created in 1998, or 2001.
