He mentions "three or four before..." in 1031. Also that four girls dumped him in high school (1066).
Is it cold in here?:
1066.
Psychological abuse is real. I knew someone who would propose something reasonable and ask in a worried tone "Are you all right with that?", trying to get the other party to think they were being a prima donna. He'd flatly assert counterfactual things, like the character in the Dilbert about how the craziest people define reality. The entire executive team working for him wound up in counseling before they sued him. Treating Dora "like shit" could very plausibly have involved mindfucking her.
Odin: if you're trying to prove that Faye is toxic, why not cite strip 69, where she assaults a generous friend for no reason at all? She isn't doing that any more. I'd argue that the worst thing the characters are doing to each other on a regular basis is enabling each other's underachievement, and even there we can see a prominent exception in Dora's repeated prods to Faye to pursue art or some other alternative to a dead-end retail job.
Look at it this way: what character is worse off for having fallen in with the QC crowd? If they were toxic, they'd be damaging everyone around them.
Mr_Rose:
Arguably, Tai is. After all, if Marten and his horny girlfriend hadn't been hanging around, she could have got that 30% raise.... :P

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. Be sure to tip your servers, or they'll make you sweep up! And you realy don't want to use their broom...

Oh good lord, he's blaming his behaviour on his upbringing...
And oddly enough, it explains so much!
