Uh oh, Dora and Martin look alike again. It got better for a few panels but they are the same again.
I am very interested in this storyline, and I think a Dora / Martin split would be very interesting. Also watching who the other characters side with would be quite neat. Who would Faye side with? I wonder if the break up would cause problems with her relationship, as she is kinda fragile - psyche wise.
Coco:
Hmm, apropos of nothing, reading this forum must be for Jeph what it would be like for a long dead writer or philosopher to sit in on a 100 level english or philosophy course. Misinterpretations, assumptions, wild guesses etc. The link to comic 335 made me think of it. I mean, poor Machiavelli wrote a satire going so far as addressing it as a love letter to the family that had imprisoned and tortured him for his egalitarian ideals and now his name is synonymous with evil machinations and tyranny. Most people don't recognize it as satire at all! At least Machiavelli was long dead before his work was misappropriated. Jeph posts a comic and minutes later there is hyper-analysis of his every pen stroke and speech bubble. I think after work I'm going to have a drink in honor of all the authors of the world living in an age of immediate feedback.
Josefbugman:
Yeahhhh, you do realise that the interpretation of "The prince" as satire is a really recent invention? Considering that there had already been a book published in England, refuting Mach's points before "The prince" had even been translated, you sort of understand why people might not see it as satire.
Murphoid:
Hey! No Machiavellian thread jacking! :-D LOL.

But is it really a thread jack? Or merely a satire of thread jacking via conversations on philosophers and their works?
