Hi, long time reader first time responder yadda yadda.

I'm with Westrim on this one. Total dick move by Dora. Letting someone awkward in social situations who has expressed zero romantic or sexual interest in women and has explicitly come on to one guy and flirted with another (Dale, let's be honest, that's what it was) go off oblivious with a Lesbian who obviously thinks she has a chance is being shitty to both of them simply to satisfy her bizarre fantasy that the two of them will end up together? Way to totally fuck with two people you're supposed to be friends with. Best case scenario Marigold lets Tai down gently and Tai is ok with it. More likely scenario, Marigold freaks out and hides away again and Tai is emotionally hurt, and why? Because Dora is an insensitive selfish bitch who can't think further than the end of her nose. I mean christ, even FAYE is concerned about the situation and she admits to being a bitch.

I'm really starting to go off Dora. I'm not bothered by the insane jealousy because I understand it's likely there for a reason and she most probably can't help it to a high degree, but the weird selfish matchmaker thing coupled with her ludicrous rages against Marten for absolutely no reason when he's vaguely nearby something she considers to be bad really suggests that she wants to control her friends, not help them. The double standards and controlling, manipulative behaviour when it comes to Marigold and Hanners, the two most vulnerable people in the strip in social situations is not a pleasant thing from someone who is, let's face it, the third main character in the strip.

I, too,  like the 'Hello Kitty look' very much. Apparently Jeph is also happy with the way it turned out as he reused it here. My favorite Dora? I liked it when she let her hair grow half-bianchi. Too bad Jeph is still not done with his palette experiments.

It was below freezing point here this morning, so I'm not searching for my lawnchair. Mari+Tai? I predict that we will only see the awkward aftermath of the "dinner date". Makes for a better show anyway.  I could be wrong about this, so no large bets - a beer mebbe?

I advise you to tiptoe from the room before anyone notices that remark!  (see here)

Vander:
I'm not sure why everyone is reacting so negatively to this.

Firstly considering Marigold has explicitly said she is not into girls earlier the only person who is likely to be hurt here is Tai and considering Tai's attitudes to most things I don't think that is too likely.

Secondly even if it ends badly Marigold has already demonstrated a formidable ability to handle disappointment and failure with relationship issues in the Angus arc.

Personally I think this is headed towards expanding Marigolds group of close friends from the current count of just two, Angus and Hannelore and encouraging her to leave her room and further her experiences in the real world (that entering the bar scene was just painful), and lets face it if there is any character equipped to give someone a crash course in enjoying life it is Tai.

My prediction for this arc is that it's going to force Marigold to become more social outside of WoW, force Tai to become a little more mature and most likely result in Marigold getting together with that Horde/Alliance guy (I can't remember which).

Carl-E:
I concur!  Marigold's a big girl, and this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship (sorry, had to).  She may not deal well with a pass, but it may not get that far.  They've definitely got more to talk about than most of the other girls Tai "dates".  It may also encourage Tai to take up some more serious writing, putting her English Lit degree to use beyond Librarianism (which is actually almost as far from Lit as "you want fries with that?"). 

OK, I went too far already...
