For comic #1797...
1. From jephjacques' Twitter: "I am doing my absolute best to avoid the inevitable shitstorm about this story. What a bad week to swear off booze." Also the wrong week to quit smoking, amphetamines, and sniffing glue :-D .
2. Panel #4: good job on the almost-cry draw on Dora, really shows the emotion of the moment.
3. This...is going to be an "interesting" rest of the week (or two) for strips... :| . It will be interesting to see where Dora goes for venting &/or advice.
4. I have said it before how I am a Faye+Marten hold-out even after nearly 1 800 strips. But as a testament to Jeph's quality of characters and writing, I have never wished Dora+Marten any ill either since I like Dora as well. [P.S. Add: That is right all you Dora-haters, I STILL LIKE Dora! Even being whilst being a old Faye+Marten shipper!]
5. I have been in these kind of moments, where things that cannot be taken back get said. I regret them [it makes me sad in the knowledge that I have had more than one :cry: ] even after many years. My only hope is no one will do something equally rash that cannot be taken back.

Give it time. Pretty much every Marten v. Dora fight has ended that way eventually.
1. One does something the other doesn't like
2. The other makes things worse with poor wording
3. Big blowup
4. A few days of moping
5. "I'm sorry let's just pretend it never happened even though I'm still mad at you".

I just hope something becomes of this. Marten stops letting his irritation build up, Dora becomes a little more self-aware... Something besides "I'm sorry yeah me too forget about it whatever".

Yeah, I'm still waiting on the conclusion. I did get half of that right in that Dora really didn't think it was serious though.
Mind you, only a small part of me hopes it goes that way. I concede that it would be remarkably uninteresting after it's happened so many times, but I would find some small amount of humor in it.

I'm really, really hoping that was meant metaphorically. There have been some great facial expressions the last couple of days. It speaks volumes for Jeph that this is so painful to watch.
KOODustin:
All I have to say is FUCK YES, MARTEN! She deserved EVERY BIT of that tongue lashing. Man, I wouldn't be able to stand Dora. I still don't know how Marten could even fall for her at all. Though, I do have to say, he's WAY too quick to go from his righteous anger to "Oh no, I'm probably a piece of shit."

--- Quote from: mickcheese on 15 Nov 2010, 19:19 ---Martin's been letting his frustrations build up for a long time and he exploded about a relatively minor indiscretion. If he'd taken the time to actually talk to Dora about his frustration after the last fight they could have avoided this escalation.
As for Dora, her reaction to his overreaction is too dramatic and a bit silly. Fights happen in relationships, and when they get bad hurtful things are said. Take a timeout, go cool off, but that's certainly not "it then".
I hope this arc ends with Martin realizing that being a nice guy doesn't mean ignoring problems and repressing your anger until it explodes and Dora (and half the forum) realizing that the Sword of Damocles isn't hanging over their relationship just waiting for the first chance to end things.

This is one of the most reasonable posts in the thread.
What Dora did just now wasn't that big of a deal. Yeah, she should have respected his privacy, but some people on here are acting like she's a soul-less manipulative bitch. She and Marten just need to work out their problems.
