Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
Wait, what?
RovingSoul:
They don't. I'm always pissed off, so one more inconveniece doesn't make much of a difference.
JonSnow:
but you're not dora,
dora has never been this snappy to marten.
Even though she is a little insecure, she seems one of the most emotional and mentally stable persons in the comic.
So she is acting out of character, indicating something has changed, and I dont see her drinking like crazy, popping anti depressants, or sniffing cocaïne.
a sudden change of personality (even for a short while) needs a reason. (Maybe she was molested the day before and we never saw, and now her resentment towards men is growing)
Norton Quintessential:
Dora's been this snappy to Marten plenty of times. See: The Sven Incident, the Haircutting incident.
Bob_Mozark:
I think that we have to be careful whenever we attempt to apply deeper meaning to the funny situations that occur in QC. It is true that Jeph often foreshadows plot developments weeks or even months in advance (in real time). However, many times, his slice-of-life jokes have no deeper meaning. Seeing Dora about to lower the boom on Marten is funny in and of itself. It does not have to have a deeper meaning on either of their parts, or be a reflection on the current state of the relationship or portend that their good times together are nearing their end.
I think that subconciously, many of us feel that Marten and Faye are "meant" to be a couple. But Faye is no where near ready to be in a "serious" relationship. An arm's length "frenemy with benefits" relationship with Sven is the best that she is capable of handling for the foreseeable future.
I do believe that there have been several significant clues from the very beginning that Hanners has a unrequited crush on Marten. But because of her OCD, I do not believe that she is capable of acting on her attraction to her (and Dora and Faye know this). In the meantime, she is more than content to be just friends with Marten, Faye & Dora. I believe that thier friendship is more important to her than she lets them know. More importantly, she will not do anything that will jeopardize these friendships. So, I do not see Hanners as waiting in the wings to snatch up Marten, even if his relationship with Dora should end.
Xenophon Hendrix:
His proper response was, "There's nothing unusual about that."
