--- Quote from: Murphoid on 16 Nov 2010, 09:25 ---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.

You know, that's an interesting point. Over the underwear incident Faye sided with Marten and called Dora out on her inappropriate behavior. But Faye was there, and she knew what happened. Here, we have Dora going off on an idea Faye had. Would Faye even take sides at all? Would she call Dora out on her inappropriate actions, as well as tell Marten he needs to be more aggressive whenever something matters to him?

What idea did Faye have?

The whole 'lets look at Marten's porn' thing was Faye's idea.
IanClark:
It depends if you equate blame with reasons the person being blamed is a horrible person. I'm not saying Dora's not to blame and I'm not saying Marten is responsible for any of her shit, what I'm saying is that discussing only blame steers the conversation in the direction of "who's the horrible person in all of this?" Instead, the related conversations actually make up the bulk of the issue. Why is Dora to blame? Is it because she has issues like Faye did for the first 1000 strips or so, or is it because she's just fundamentally horrible? For that matter, what specifically are her issues, how major are they and are they overcomeable? Is Dora more or less defined by her issues by this point or are they just a small part of her being that occasionally flare up and ruin everything?
Yes, Dora needs to realize she's the one to blame, but that revelation needs to come gently. A little less "fuck you" and a little more "please realize you're hurting the people around you".

Fixed that for you.
--- Quote from: Arky on 16 Nov 2010, 04:00 ---Also the comic is like a giant Rorschach blot for all of us to project our own issues with men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men! onto Marten and Dora. A therapist could sweep in here and have a field day, although they should only be paid at bulk rate for everyone who called Dora a bitch.

OVER 9000 TIMES THIS. It is a testament to the far-reaching popularity of QC that the forum explodes in massive psychological projection every time Relationship Drama is portrayed in the strip. It happens for a couple of other webcomics I frequent, but I think this one has the most active forums.
