Sharp:
I think people are jumping on the "friendship" wagon way too quick. It's only been a day since they split! Hell, it's probably been less than 12 hours! When they got together Marten was too nervous to see Dora until the next night, and that was a happy Marten. Give them time to awkward this out.

Yeah, I just used "awkward" as a verb.
 8-) Deal with it.

akronnick:
The awkward, it, well it doesn't exactly burn but it's definitely uncomfortable.


And I just used awkward as a noun!

 :evil: Suck it, grammar Nazis!  :evil:

raoullefere:
Given that he may indeed want to be friends with Dora in the future, I think Marten's wise to avoid her for now, and maybe for a month or so, or at least until that blow-up that we were talking about earlier occurs. It could be Marten, too, knows it's coming, and tearing into Dora before she gets her feet under  some therapist's desk and seems willing to keep them there is just going to give her more bricks for Mount Denial.

I wonder if Faye's going to let him know about bullying Dora into therapy?

Anyway, Marten, if you're that strapped, it's time to start brown-bagging. And does this mean that we're going to see less of ye CoD?

Hmmm...

Well, lets look at it for a second...

The Drama Bomb, and the Follow Up

Clearly there was more conversation after 1799...but all we hear of it is that the breakup was "mutual"

The Hug

Again, there's probably a good conversation taking place afterwards, but we don't see it, as it's off-panel.

Sven

Clearly he and Dora spoke about things, at least to the point of him going and picking up some of her stuff...but again, the conversation is off panel.

Hanners

Not sure just how far into her reaction we are, but clearly we're jumping in somewhere in the middle. We don't actually see Dora (or Faye) tell Hanners what happened.

...and today, where clearly Tai knows, but again, we didn't actually see the news being conveyed.

I love this comic, I really do...but the vast majority of the dramatic resolution to these latest developments is happening off-panel, and we're not getting much in the way of actual details. The other characters have been informed, and we're just supposed to accept that and move on.

This is somewhat disappointing,as there was a lot of potential there...Dora/Sven, Marten//Dora, Dora/Faye, Hanners, Marten/Tai. Some of that might still happen, but it won't be the immedeate reaction, it'll be follow-up. Which is fine...but I just feel like a good opportunity for characterization has simply been ignored.

...or we're just getting a weeks worth of punchlines before another bomb drops?  :psyduck:

--- End quote ---

Equally harsh??

Yeah...not seeing it.
