I picked up that big ol' $50 Palomar hardback and made my way through the first Heartbreak Soup story -- I'd remembered it being quite a long read, and I was right, but it's only two 22-page chapters.

He worships the ladies. And they worship him. Because chicks dig confidence, right babe? Hawkeye is not a pig. He worships the ladies. And they worship him.

And I think you hit the nail on the head very well. I can't <I>quite</I> explain how Hawkeye became the perpetual whipping boy over at Comics Oughta Be Fun!, but he's got a pretty good humor about it. Whenever he shoots an arrow at me he usually misses, or just aims for my butt. I keep telling him "stop using all the unsettling slang and I'll stop teasing you, Mister Barton!" But he's too into that groove to stop. You can't, as Miss Lance once confided to me, teach an old archer new tricks. Thanks for the links! And I think you hit the nail on the head very well.
