Poll: Do you see Marten and Dora's relationship lasting?

<< < (4/24) > >>

Paav:
Just think about the ramifications of a Dora, Marten break-up. Marten is no longer welcome at Coffee of Doom cutting him off from Penelope and Raven, as well as of course Dora. Faye could still work there but it would surely add tension to her friendships with both Marten and Dora. I suppose with enough time and an amicable break up Marten and Dora could work things out but that only seems to work in TV.

If Marten and Faye were to end up getting together I don't see how either could save any friendship with Dora, especially after how much Dora has worried about that very thing. Though it would be interesting to see where the strip would go after that.

All that being said, I hope Dora and Marten last. They seem good for each other.

Jab:
Yeah, the strip's "Great, Unresolved Plot Line" threads around Marten/Dora/Faye. I mean, Faye & Marten pretty much came right out and said "I'm crazy for you" during the infamous "Strip 500" arc, only to have Marten hook up with Dora right away. We've had some inklings of Faye's feelings over that (when she bitched to her shrink about how she's upset sometimes when the two are 'so happy together'), and even Dora's own angst (a near-forgotten strip where she talks to her cat and speaks of how insecure she still is), but nothing that's actually gone in-depth. I mean, there's SO MUCH untapped potential in that area.

Joybee:
I'm sorry but I hate Marten and Dora. Their relationship has completely changed her whole tough-girl attitude and has made her really fragile, it seems. It's like she's completely changing herself for him, or maybe she's just happier and therefore acting different. I don't know, but anyhow, I still don't like them together. It just seems like their personalities are too different to work. I was fine with Dora being a minor character but lately I think she's become the centre of the comic.

Speak for yourself.  I've managed to stay friends with all but one of my ex-girlfriends.  From the way I see Marten and Dora, I think they'd both be able to maintain a solid friendship post-breakup as well.

jeph:
I'm friends with some of my exes, and not friends with others. You can totally break up with someone and remain friends.
