Caleb:
I love how the Broadsword was introduced way back and still makes appearances.
Other comics would have used it for a one time joke then never referenced it again.
This is why I love QC.
Hurray Beheadings!
masquerade:
I don't think it was an overreaction. It was distinguishing territory and very bluntly stating that it was not to be encroached upon from some strumpety slip of a thing from an uppity college nearby. Begone, small girl!

I found Dora's reaction to be rather extreme for this situation. If Kaiya had indicated she was going to pursue Marten regardless, I could see it, but I couldn't really figure out what Dora was reacting to that justified the broadsword. This is especially striking when compared to their recent encounter with Hannelore in various states of undress. Of course, she does have her insecurities about their relationship and is prone to massive mood swings, so it's not entirely out of character.
And add me to the club for new readers who have to remind themsleves to read the strip title after having devoured the QC archive.

I pretty much agree. I think it was clear the girl was not going to persue Martin at all (hence why she ordered what she did and said she was upset), but then again its in character really for Dora to over react (although rather humorously) to this type of situation.

From what I've heard, those things are very heavy. Or maybe it's just the DoraRage that's somehow infused her being with super strength.

According to Dungeons and Dragons, a longsword only weighs 4 pounds.
By that logic, I'm sure a broadsword wouldn't weigh more than 10 pounds.
Oh, and also: HOLY CRAP! I haven't laughed at a comic like that in a long time. Dora's expression is... magnificent. This was the best QC comic for laugh factor in at least a few months. Yey!
michi-love:
I dunno. Dora doesn't seem genuinely pissed or actually ready to fight to the death for Martin. Though I'm sure she was.
Her sadistic side is showing, imo. Wants to further the pain.
Poor girl. May she eventually get over the trauma of this day - which might never happen if she does become a regular character, considering the amount of trauma they inflict on each other.
(Though, I personally think she should be the one to drag Steve out from whatever rock he's crawled under.)
