--- Quote from: Jimor on 23 Jan 2009, 03:23 ---I think Dora's doing this mostly to fluster Marten because it's still cute to do so. Throw in that small part where she really is insecure about secrets, plus some girls' natural tendency to want to keep their guys off guard and confused.... So this incident is still mostly about the fun and games, but if it becomes a pattern, then there will be real problems. [/overanalyze]

honestly, if she's doing this only to upset him and be all "hahah...jk lolz rotlol" i'm going to be thoroughly ticked off. because not only is she 1) being completely hypocritical since she made the whole hanner's boob thing, but 2) being a complete bitch in general.
honestly if my significant other got asked out and i knew they said no i personally would be like "haha this is awesome, they are swell enough that other people wanna get with them, but i'm so awesome that i have them and to myself."
and maybe martin didn't say anything right away cuz he thought it wasn't a big deal, or maybe he was just embarrassed about....dora is slightly pissed me off lately....

I'm not ready to believe Jeph's gone this low. He's already acknowledged in his own comments that this sort of topic would show up.
I'm willing to see exactly where this plays out tomorow before I make any assumptions about whats going to happen. Its not unusual for an author to bate a reaction out of his or her audience, and give them a completely different outcome.
Then again, if you REALLY want to read between the lines, I'm sensing a certain amount of tension. Its been a whole season now since we started this new arch, and we haven't really run into anything major as far as story development. And if I'm reading things right, there's a certain sense of distance between Dora and Martin now. Much less lovey-duvy. Could be a cooling off period. Could be worse.
Lets wait and see.

LAME.
If Marten had gone out of his way to tell Dora, then he would have been acting manipulative. The only reason to tell a significant other that you have been asked out is to intentionally make them jealous, if your significant other knows the person who asked you out, or if you have conflicted feelings from it. Since the girl was a stranger, Marten is not manipulative, and would never cheat, of course he didn't tell her. It would have hurt her for absolutely no purpose. Telling her would have been saying "Hey, girls want me, what do you think of THAT?" Again, Marten is just not that kind of person.
Yesterday with the girl, I completely thought that Dora was joking when she pulled the sword. It is more in the vein of her character to be amused by someone asking Marten out than to actually be jealous. I'm surprised that it continued on to today's comic.

come to think about it, it has been a while since martin and dora have been all "lovey-duvy" but really breaking up because your boyfriend got asked out and he said no, that would be kinda lame, but it could be the turning point for something interesting to happen. like i've always wanted faye and martin to get together it's just now that dora and martin have been dating, if faye and martin ever got together wouldn't faye be breaking something similar to the "bro code"? if anyone knows what i'm getting at?

If you think about it though, with Hannelore, Dora knows that there is no threat there since Hannelore would never go for any sort of thing. It was an honest mistake, and it wasn't as though Hannelore was attempting to make a move. Maybe she feels threatened by this other girl because this girl actually has the intention of trying to get with her boyfriend, and is not terrified of relationships like Hannelore. They are two different situations. Rocketman brings up good points with the previous girlfriends and all...Dora is insecure and this fits with it.
