Norton Quintessential:
That's actually a good point, Bushbr. She doesn't seem as bad on a second reading.

TOTALLY agree, there, SuperSUGA -- but it doesn't fly so well in fiction. Probably one reason so many of us like fiction :)

I doubt he is a fisherman; you mean bating. :wink:

Nope, he means baiting, as in luring (1) or taunting (2). Bating is what a falcon does trying to get off its perch. Or, I suppose, half of what a human does trying to, well, get off (fapping instead of flapping?). It also means putting shit on a hide to get the hair off, literally, but that's neither here nor somewhere.
I'm not exactly certain Dora is serious. She herself has baited Marten before, as I recall. But if she is serious, Dora would hardly be the first person to get nervous about such things, especially since Dora herself believes she pirated Marten away from Faye. Reacting this way doesn't make her a bitch so much as it makes her human. As for fiction, very often human consistency separates the popular from the, well, accurate. Which is to say good, to me anyway.
As for Jeph's comment, I don't understand getting upset about his statement, especially since I read the comic and then logged on to the forum quite confident I would see a "Dora's a bitch!"/"No, Marten's a jerk!" debate begin, complete with the occasional spate of idiocy. I would say Jeph needs to start an investment company except for the fact that all he seems able to predict is the very, very likely.
Oh yeah, Said it before, but I'll say it again: I dig Dora's do. (Which in retrospect may be an unfortunately worded statement. But I love alliteration.)
Superkid11:
Yeah, it may be realistic but that doesn't make it any more fun to read. :|
But yeah, at least Dora didn't go RAAAAAAGEE. Still, it's mildly irritating to see her acting that way... in which comic has Marten been annoyed at people flirting with her again?
Even so, Dora's not exactly directing her irritation very well. :/
Is it cold in here?:

That belief might make her more likely to get nervous about someone stealing Marten away from her.
