Generally, things have to be funny before the rule of funny comes into effect. And this abusive relationship is not funny.

--- Quote from: Mallli_kite on 23 Jan 2009, 13:50 ---The difference might be that she KNOWS Hanners. Honestly, can you imagine Hannelore having SEX, much less hitting on someone else's guy? If Hanners was possessed by, say, Jackie Collins and suddenly vixened all over Marten, when she came to she'd practically kill herself with guilt and sanitization efforts. Dora wouldn't have to do a thing but watch and maybe give Marten a place to hide.
Dora was ok with it because Hanners is COMPLETELY safe.

I dunno... Dora's been suspicious, even of Hanners, in the past.
Exhibit A.
Exhibit B.
Can't find Exhibit C... it was another case of Dora warning Hannelore off Marten.

I guess I should mention that I loved Dora's reaction yesterday with the broadsword, but that doesn't diminish the annoyance I have with her insecurities. Eventually her insecurity issue has to be resolved, right? Or not. :wink:

A chunk of this discussion is why Dora reacts differently to the random girl asking for a date vs. Marten saying he saw Hanners' boob.
I think Dora's reaction also depends on who initiated things. In Hanners case, she was unconscious, so did not purposefully initiate the incident.
In the more recent case, random girl actually tried to start something with Marten. I think someone mentioned Dora feeling threatened; that is possible.
Also, to me, the tipping point of her reaction comes in panel 3. Yes, Marten is easily guilted. But when he asks Dora how she found out, in a manner that suggests he did something wrong, it's a pretty sure setup for a negative reaction.
More advisable might have been, in response to Dora's "NOTEWORTHY", for Marten to respond something like, "No, not a big deal at all. I told her I was in a relationship, and that was it." Almost guaranteed to take the wind out of Dora's sails. Marten's actual response added fuel to the fire.
And I don't think Dora is tweaking Marten. She looks pretty mad. And Faye's running commentary is funny!

I'm sure Marty's gonna learn that sooner or later.
