Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT 29 Nov-3 Dec (1806-1810)
Tergon:
I'm remembering Faye's half-joking remarks that what she's needed all along is "Someone to kick her in the ass and tell her to deal with her [expletive] problems." It's a comment she's made about herself a few different times.
She's being that person for Dora now. And she is absolutely fantastic for doing it.
I said before that Faye hugging Dora was one of my favourite "Character" moments for the strip. Now Faye is still rolling along on that high, being incredibly awesome just as before, and teh funnie is peeking back into the comic as well.
Bravo, Jeph. Much as the breakup week was angsty and sad, the writing of this follow-up arc is some of the best you've done. Keep up the fantastic work.

Given the (approximate) time frame of the strip and of her parents' state of mind, I'd almost bet on "Summer", "Farrah" or (dread) "Amy".

akronnick is betting on the safe trends (and yeah, every other girl I knew in high school or college had the middle name of "Marie"). Dora's not a Southern belle, so Lynn is probably not the case.
If I were to construct a mellifluous name, her middle name would be something like "Annabella." But I'd be more willing to bet the Bianchis saddled their little girl with the name of a grandmother or spinster aunt. "Dora Agnes Bianchi, get your butt in here now!"

Boomslang:
I want Dora's middle name to be Safina.
It fits with the family naming scheme, and it makes a nice sound.
Dora Safina Bianchi.
I bet her mother would love to yell that sort of musical full name when Dora really fucked up.

--- Quote from: raoullefere on 30 Nov 2010, 23:07 ---The only problem with this approach is if Dora arrives at therapist's office, then starts in with "I don't know why I'm here really…I don't need help…"
--- End quote ---
She wouldn't be the first person to say that upon the start their first therapy session. Even when people schedule it themselves, if they've never done it before they might get nervous at the last second and try to prove to the shrink (and themselves) that they're fine. I'm sure therapists are trained to have appropriate responses to "I don't know why I'm here really" and "I don't need help."

It's true, therapists are trained how to respond to that (I know, I've been training to be a therapist myself...). Usually something as simple as, "Well, why did your friends (family) think you should come see a therapist?"

I'm betting on Elizabeth.

Weird, I thought of Marie, too. I liked

but then my immediate thought was, "yeah, but it's probably just Marie."
