--- Quote from: Magravan on 12 Nov 2010, 14:18 ---If he was serious, he would have said "Dora, this is actually important to me and I'm not kidding around. I'm not comfortable with sharing this, and you need to respect my privacy."
He opted for a joke, so who is going to take him seriously?

That's funny, because that's really not how I heard him say that little piece in the third panel. I heard a very serious, nearly sinister voice. Almost "Hello, Clarice"-like.

Yes, that together with that final 'hey!' I think Dora's actual problem here is that although she takes relationships very seriously, sex itself, she doesn't. Marten himself shares this attitude to a certain point, but that doesn't extend to porn, it seems, likely because of his mother's involvement with it—think about how it would be to have a mother that cool about masturbation. Teen boys being what they are, I'd guess that would cause you to hide both it and everything associated with your masturbation like fury. Just because.
Meaning, even if I'm wrong (a faint possibility—ha!), Veronica's still involved. The more I think about it, the more this fits in with my theory of Pintsize doing things Marten won't let himself, but secretly longs to. You know, like wearing Faye's panties on his head.
And Delator, I don't think Marten has two girlfriends so much as Faye has suddenly realized he has some real boundaries—something many have accused him of lacking. They're there, just buried fairly deeply under that equanom equamnit even-steven facade.

So both Mao and Wil become uncontrollably poetic around ladies? According to Qiu Xiaolong's detective stories Chinese intelligenzia spends a lot of time citing ancient poetry, but I hazard a guess that Dora is closer to the mark and Mao used a speech writer.

But does have a substantial collection of Fanfic

This. I mean, it only makes sense. Jeph DID say this was all going to tie together.

HAHA I finally found out what Dora'll find: thousands and thousands of pictures of tentacle porn!
Then she will worry about growing tentacles.
