Everybody keeps slamming doors. Think of your neighbors, people.
Poor Hanners is probably freaking out upstairs.
IlGreven:
Y'know what? I sure hope this storyline ends by Sven knocking some sense into Dora for a change...

but seriously, i didn't expected this at all. Maybe it's Marten's hatred talking there, but jeez, he crossed the line with the "i'm sick of your apologies"
--- End quote ---
Ehhhh that so did not look or sound like an actual apology to me - did it really, to you? It sounded like one of those 'I'm sorry you were offended' non-apology apologies. I mean she even said 'I didn't think it was any big deal' with this look on her face that would make it sound to me like 'I don't think IT SHOULD BE a big deal'
Well I'm sorry, you don't get to decide that, S.O. - I do.
Her reaction is just about the opposite of what it should be. I really hope that's her being defensive because she knows she fucked up and she can't deal with it - that doesn't make me like her behavior any more, but it's better than her being absolutely clueless about her mistake. Willfully so, even.

So now that this is blowing up, will we ever see Marten's feelings abour Faye come back up? Not in the sense of he's back to pining after her, but I always thought it was ludicrous how well he took it when she randomly shacked up with Sven (repeatedly) and then starts something with Angus. Sure, Marten's got a gf now, so the best idea is just to bury it and stick with the good thing he had going on. But somewhere, deep down, there's no possible way he didn't have a little voice yelling "Wtf? You have to much baggage for a relationship when I treat you like a queen, but then alluva sudden everything's ok for the next guy that comes along, and the next?"
I always felt that as real as these characters feel, it was completely strange that Marten had no reaction other than to be happy with her. I just rationalized it that he's generally pretty happy himself, so why open that can of worms? But Dora's crap is getting pretty old here...I'm seriously hoping we can finally see what he really thinks about things with Faye if he finally ends up without the Doralbatross chained around his neck.
And while I agree with some of the other opinions that Marten's response is a little harsh if taken just in the context of this strip and the last two or three, I think it's a fairly reasonable reaction to her behavior in general of late. The speed with which he got over her explosion about Faye, accepted her apology, and dropped it was just ridiculous...clearly it just got suppressed, and now it's adding to the current issue.

If you keep repeating hyperbolic, generalized responses of people who don't agree with, maybe we'll eventually care about your stupid shallow post!
...No, no we won't.
