Tortura the heavily scarred Russian is probably the lady in question. I'm not sure if it was witness protection, more like just going underground.

Yes. You're probably right, but at the moment I couldn't recall and was not inclined to look up the strip. I did remember that she didn't to be returning to her life of crime, which was a shame, as it would've made my post funnier. "Steve's been dumped for lurkers, dolphins, and crime."
Well, maybe not.

I don't know if I agree with this or not. He got smashed after Ellen dumped him, too, but he did stay drunk longer after the Meena thing. So maybe. Or maybe it was an accumulation sort of affair.
I think I am clearer on one thing, though. In retrospective, I suspect Dave's peculiar behavior was at last partly caused by his being sure Meena was coming back to him; she simply needed to 'show' him she didn't have to. Reading those past strips, I notice how Marten and Dora tell Steve: "Don't give up on her." Which was foolish—anyone that worked up about someone's opinion of them is still heavily involved with that person.
Still, the alternative at that point seemed to be a Steve-Penelope relationship. I suppose they could've taken turns blowing up.
Carl-E:
Ooh, Steve and Pen-Pen. Now there's a ship that's doomed!
Kinda like the Titanic without the surprise factor, 'cause everyone else would have seen the iceberg coming...
In all honesty, I don't think they'd have made it past a second date.
tuxedobob:
Was "persecuted" intentional?
raoullefere:
Persecution is always intentional…to the persecuted, anyway. So, if you're not persecuting anyone currently, the answer is 'yes.'

(Also, Jeph tweeted that it was intentional…but I refuse to let the facts get in my way. That's the first maxim of dear old PWU.)
