No, people are associating people who say "X is at fault for what's going on" with people who say "X is a terrible person." Because there have been the latter. Dozens of the latter.

I think Jeph hit the nail on the head on his Twitter. Everyone immediately jumps to who's to blame rather than any of the equally valid questions. For instance, what's to blame? Sure it's Dora's behaviour, but is Dora's behaviour a reflection of her true self or is it merely an issue of hers? It's this question. Actually, Faye's a perfect example. When Faye was first introduced into the strip, she was bitchy, frequently went out of her way to be mean to strangers (Hot Topic anyone?), led Marten on and was deliberately secretive about her past. The issues came to a head and she sought out therapy. Now she's still bitchy and occasionally mean to strangers, but she's sorted out a lot of her issues, is much more open with people and is even capable of carrying on a healthy relationship. Even though her fundamental nature hasn't been altered, she's overcome her issues and become a better person. This isn't the moment for Dora to be kicked to the curb. This is her Faye moment, when she starts taking steps toward becoming the person she actually wants to be.

Why am I still up? Why am I still reading this? I have class in six hours. I should really sleep, or something...

At any rate good thoughts all around. Personally while I'm in favor of them breaking up (I never really cared for their relationship from the start, to me it just felt like Marten was jumping at a chance to be with somebody after the whole Faye drama) my main concern is that I want this to end with Marten showing some backbone. We got a shade of it in their last fight, where Marten stormed out after his "Fuck this" line. However after he met Sven he mellowed out and lost it. I don't want this to just be another, "Well that was immature of us, lets talk for 1-2 panels then make up!" I want to see Marten sit Dora down and explain clearly what he feels, without backing off. as a previous poster who I cannot quote since their post doesn't appear below said: Dora has held all the cards in the relationship from the get go. I want Marten to take some of those cards. Though knowing his luck they'd be 2's, while Dora has all four aces.

What about Talk 2: Shadow of the Talk? Oh well, even Talk 3: Return of the Talk will never top Talk 1: A New Talk

With this post, we're about 50 away from setting the record for most posts in one thread in the QC Discussion Forum.

And the existing number one thread? The WCT from August 30 - September 3, (about strips 1741-45).

Care to guess what THAT thread was about? (Hint: You're fired, and you don't come back to bed tonight.)
