Bigger boobs, mood swings, hugginess, am I wrong?

I don't think she is.

There would be more barfing for one thing.

Dora is not pregnant.

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #3 on:** 11 Mar 2010, 16:25 »

Jeph has said before in relation to another character that he'd consider an unplanned pregnancy to be far more soap opera-like than he wants his strip to be.

But if she were, we could blame 673 if we ignored that it was a guest strip.

Of course he could have an unplanned pregnancy followed up by a miscarriage. But no sane webcomic artist would dream of running a story arc as tasteless as that...

What about a planned pregnancy that no one verbally acknowledges until the moment the little monster pops out? Marten and Dora could have been talking about this for months, we don't get to see every moment of their lives...

You know, the weird thing is that this popped into my head immediately, too.

I don't think Jeph would do that, but who knows.

Anders Loves Maria doesn't have a miscarriage in it...

Carl-E · « **Reply #10 on:** 11 Mar 2010, 20:47 »

Didn't Tina have one, years before the false pregnancy with Anders?

And from what we know of Marten and Dora, there's no way this would be planned. A kid (even sans-marriage) is a huge commitment.

As in, those who plan them should be committed.

If you wait until you're ready to have kids, you'll never have any!

ThePrettyMonster · « **Reply #11 on:** 11 Mar 2010, 20:49 »

Oh, I think you're right. I never really paid attention to Tina, she wasn't my favorite character.

Dora has been replaced by her evil twin. She's subtly luring all of them into a false sense of calm before she rapes and murders everyone.

thret · « **Reply #22 on:** 12 Mar 2010, 19:52 »

Well, the consensus seems to be that she is not pregnant... Maybe Cristi is, and he's just subconciously reflecting that in Dora? Or it is her time of the month. Or it is just a comic.

If you're worried about good taste, you shouldn't be reading Something Positive.

(And if you're reading CTD, you have no taste.)

Well, Rene never really revealed what happen to Maria and Bjorn's baby. Unless I missed something? I assumed it was a miscarriage, since Maria was initially so outraged by the suggestion of aborting her baby.

Thorbard · « **Reply #37 on:** 24 Mar 2010, 11:55 »

Lets face it, as more and more webcomic artists reach a certain age, pregnancy/marriage/miscarage/divorce arcs are going to become more and more common.

Personally I thought the CAD arc was really well done. The characters really developed during it. I can't really comment on any of the other comics that have been mentioned here though, as I don't follow them.

bicostp · « **Reply #38 on:** 24 Mar 2010, 15:52 »

What development? The whole resolution of that arc was:

Lilah: I'm sorry I miscarried.
Ethan: Yeah well you better be.
Videogames. Heh.

Then after 5 months of lazy video game jokes, we go back to the main cast cleaning up after another one of Ethan's "wacky" adventures as though Loss never happened.

JD · « **Reply #39 on:** 24 Mar 2010, 18:17 »

jwhouk · « **Reply #47 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 14:03 »

And it's at about the same time that you realize that Ethan is an autobiographical character for the author.

Which makes you want to block the site so fast it'll make your head spin.

I still read CAD, I started about 3 years ago.

It's like watching a train wreck, and the body count is rising.
I can't pull myself away from it.

bhtooefr · « **Reply #49 on:** 27 Mar 2010, 12:29 »

I stopped reading CAD right around when the author mass-banned anyone who might have possibly seen a posting basically proving that he's a pedo.
