KOODustin:
The problem is that Dora's been given multiple occasions to change and get better and has done nothing.

Or Dora could totally go hook up with Raven, or something, and Marten and Hannelore get together and form a clone army to conquer the world and make it a neat, tidy, and very passive place.

If only. I was so pulling for a Marten-Hannelore matchup way back when she was first introduced, even though it pretty much makes no sense. She's so adorable.

--- Quote from: ChippyD on 15 Nov 2010, 20:51 ---Dora made a big mistake in trying to apologize and settle the problem too quickly. No matter how she felt, if she understood his side, or failed to, it was just far too soon, and not fair on Martin. I point back to the Underwear crisis. Martin went after Dora too quickly, and it exacerbated the situation because it allowed Dora to feed the fire of her anger. She took his head off, unfairly, due to her anger. She kicked him out of his own damned room, no more questions asked.
Yet when Martin decides it's his turn to blow his top, Dora immediately expects to be allowed to resolve the issue right away, on her terms. That's an extremely self-centered view.

Or alternatively, she disliked the time she spent sitting in their room waiting for him to come back after the last fight and wishes that they had talked things out on the spot. Thus, when a fight begins again she tries to take what she sees as a better resolution and hash things out immediately.
Maybe she learned from past mistakes.
We don't know what Dora is thinking, but a lot of you automatically assume the worst. Which is frustrating to those of us that like the character.
Rusty:
well, damn...
Seems to be a lot leading up to this- Martin seeming not 100% happy in a few strips(i remmember one him up in bed), Faye, doras increasing insanity. his action was justified, and dora was a bit over the top. I feel worse for martin, seeing his face in the last panel..."aw fuck, brick wall"
lots of alky + steve time?

I don't dislike Dora at all. I think she's a hoot usually. But I'm still firmly of the opinion that she's in the wrong here. I'm sure there are tons of things that could be going through all their minds...but all we see of them are little snapshots, and a lot of the snapshots of Dora lately have not been painting her in a very good light. Jeph certainly seems talented enough to get a lot of information across about his characters, so it feels to me like if these are the snippets of Dora's personality we keep seeing, there's a reason for that. In a real-world situation there could be a perfect explanation that makes Dora seem completely in the right here, but based on what we have to go on, she certainly comes across as unreasonable at the very least, and certainly as the provocateur in this clash.
