Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT - 6-10 September 2010 (1746-1750)
pwhodges:
Are you reading the same comic as me?
Kugai:
I wonder if this is where Dora gets Faye to introduce her to Dr. Corinne?
Nice to know Martens timeing is impeccable as ever. :-D
Blackjoker:
I believe Martens timing is only fair. Dora wants full disclosure and probably would have been more irked had he waited or she find out later.
LeeC:
Ive had panels 1-3 happen a number of times (almost verbatim) with my current girl.

But when is the future? Is it later that day? Next week? The next time she spazzes out because OMG HE HUGGED HANNELORE (hypothetical scenario, do not analyze)? That future strip may be satisfying, but this one is very much not.

Lol, true.

Who said that they should break up? It's just that her behavior is bad, and she should be called on it, not coddled (and NO that does not mean yelling).

--- End quote ---
Yeah, a frightened and remorseful person. But then you probably don't regard wallowing in anger and grudge-bearing as necessary for being a real man.
I don't quite understand this torrent of "nothing is resolved" and "Marten should show he's angry". What? He didn't make her grovel enough? Make her feel bad enough? Make it clear enough what a horrible person she is, and how hard she'll have to work to be worthy once more of his affection?
--- End quote ---
Who asked him to attack her or make her grovel or- wait, are we talking about the comic still? We who are disappointed would have just preferred something along the lines of "I guess I screwed up,""you certainly did, now lets sleep" (do not analyze, I'm a reader, not a writer, Jim!)
If they actually do start discussing, some time in the next few strips/ within a day of comic time, then it'll be fine. But if it is what it looks like right now, a punt to a later incident at a later date, then I'm disappointed.
