--- Quote from: rje on 15 Nov 2010, 18:32 ---Ehhhh that so did not look or sound like an actual apology to me - did it really, to you? It sounded like one of those 'I'm sorry you were offended' non-apology apologies. I mean she even said 'I didn't think it was any big deal' with this look on her face that would make it sound to me like 'I don't think IT SHOULD BE a big deal'
--- End quote ---
Agreed. As you and several others have said, Dora's body language and expression makes it clear that her apology was insincere.
--- Quote from: Akima on 15 Nov 2010, 20:04 ---There have been some great facial expressions the last couple of days. It speaks volumes for Jeph that this is so painful to watch.
--- End quote ---
Definitely – he's conveying quite a bit of emotional context through the art over and above the words themselves. Impressive.
--- Quote from: bunnyThor on 15 Nov 2010, 20:57 ---I don't get the joke in the punchline. Could someone explain it to me?
--- End quote ---
Ha! Thank you for the genuine LOL. (Perhaps there's an audio joke buried in there, the Benny Hill theme playing as Pintsize watches Marten's porn.)
--- Quote from: jordinyc on 15 Nov 2010, 21:05 ---This whole thread is TL;DR. And by that I mean anyone who reads all these posts deserves a fucking medal. And don't ask me, all you'll get is left over silver Hanukkah gelt coins from last year XD.
--- End quote ---
MEDAL. GIVE ME ONE, NAO. Hanukkah gelt coin iz acceptabul.
--- Quote from: Tergon on 15 Nov 2010, 23:12 ---Anyone who's ever said the words, "I'm sick of your apologies!" knows what it really means. You're not sick of hearing the apologies, you're sick of being in a situation where the other person has hurt you and is saying sorry, and you have to accept the apology. You're tired of this cycle where you get hurt and you have to laugh it off and pretend that it's all okay. Marten is the whipping boy of the entire QC-Universe and it's obvious that he knows it... and it's becoming even more obvious that he's sick of it. Dora just finally pushed too hard on a topic he wasn't comfortable with, and now things are happening. And, much like I said with their fight after Faye's panic attack, if and when Marten's armour finally does crack away, I'm going to be very interested to see what's underneath.

As the cat on Mutts says, 'Me too, also.' I'm looking forward to seeing where Jeph takes this, and what he reveals about these characters.
--- Quote from: Border Reiver on 16 Nov 2010, 05:12 ---And to use a standard diversion of the conversation - Are we all looking forward to the annual turkey strip?
--- End quote ---
I am! Though now, because of the term you used, I am picturing a turkey working a stripper pole . . . no, wait, now I'm picturing a "landing strip" made of turkey meat . . .
O_o Yikes, sorry – everything might be ruined forever after all.
--- Quote from: cocks on 16 Nov 2010, 07:43 ---Prediction: Steve will blow everyone in the coffee shop.
--- End quote ---
Fixed it for you.
--- Quote from: peterh on 16 Nov 2010, 12:46 ---I also hope that, for the sake of his sanity, Jeph can refrain from even opening it.
--- End quote ---
Again – you hope he can refrain from opening it again. -_- Guess he really did pick the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
I voted for "MOAR PINTSIZE," but I'm not actually going to make any predictions for the comic. I just want to see what happens next. Also, I would like a cupcake.

Benny Hill? You think Marten's porn is old Benny Hill clips?
That would be so 'vanilla' as to actually be rather twisted. Unless you mean Marty's looking at Benny himself in drag rather than the gels. Then he needs help. Lotsa help.

--- Quote from: Border Reiver on 16 Nov 2010, 10:56 ---They're still broken up, and blaming you didn't make it better, so now the other party is out a friend as well.
Not that you were a good friend, what with banging the BF and all
--- End quote ---
Thank you, to both you and IanClark. You seem to understand what I'm getting at, and that makes me feel a tiny bit of relief (that I'm not batshit insane).
Either that, or the both of you are right up there with me.
--- Quote from: Emperor Norton on 16 Nov 2010, 11:43 ---As a comment, knowing who overstepped (who is to "blame") can be useful, but doesn't need to be dwelt upon, and doesn't need to be seen as the ONLY problem. People have to be responsible for their actions. How can they do that if they are never held accountable for any of it? (hence blamed). That being said... trying to dole out blame while pissed is probably a horrible idea. They both needed a moment to compose themselves first. Part of identifying a problem is figuring out WHERE the problem came from, yes, why they acted that way is important, but first you have to identify the problem behavior in order to try and explain and deal with it. So this idea that blame is pointless is imo just ignorant.
--- End quote ---
At this point, I'm pretty sure I just won't be understood by some. So after this one last point, I think I'm outta here until next comic.
I very much believe that people should be held accountable for their actions. But it's a relationship, not a murder trial. One is not 'guilty' and the other 'not'. The problem should be identified, talked about, and dealt with. If it can't be dealt with, one person leaves. Obviously people are different and not always rational, and there wouldn't be a comic if there weren't some drama.. but it's just ridiculous to act like a relationship is full of 'oh, that was her/his fault so she/he should do this'. Relationship = team effort
And about the ignorant part...I'm glad you know it's your opinion, and not fact. ;) I try my best to be understanding and educated about things (certainly doesn't keep me from always falling short though).

Bahaha! That would be rather (very?) twisted. I meant actual porn set to Benny Hill music, with the video possibly sped up to match the tempo, which if you think about it would be kinda fun twisted OMG ART silly.
