PenSwordAccord:
I have been wanting to bring some things up from the "recent" past that I have been wondering about.
I did a search on "vindictive" in the forum, and it doesn't look like anyone really noticed this, or at least no one seems to have mentioned it. Does it strike anyone else as interesting that both Marten and Dora could be perceived as conflating the person they are speaking to with an "ex"?
In strip 1797 Dora calls Marten a "vindictive prick". This would, given what we have been told/shown, be an appropriate epithet for some/all of her previous boyfriends, but not Marten.
In strip 1818 Marten basically accuses Faye of likeing guys that are dicks. Given that other than Sven, and as far as I am concerned, I don't know as the term should really be applied to Sven, I haven't seen any evidense that Faye has ever dated a "dick". Dora, on the other hand, has a well-documented history of dating dicks.
I don't know what to make of this apparent symetry, and was curious if anyone else had any thoughts on it.
On another note, I find it interesting and odd that Dora, after however many bad relationships with guys, has never actually dated a woman. I can't find any mention of her ever doing so anyway. She is an avowed bisexual, unless I have badly misread the strip, so why hasn't she?

What is the sound of one hand clapping, anyway?

According to the Official Handbook for better Comix Comprehension, the proper term is "Moovles" :-D

Except for the mouth, the hair length, and the fact that Dora's a natural blonde.

The hair is irrelevant, and they're not identical of course, but the shape of the face, eyes and nose are quite similar. And I think there was a comic where someone (Veronica herself I believe) commented on the similarity between her younger self and Dora; I thought it was cool that it actually shows in this picture.
--- End quote ---
Actually, looking at that more closely, I'd say that the young Veronica looks a lot more to me like Raven. Of course, the last time we saw Raven and Dora together, I was hard pressed at times to tell the two of them apart (except for Raven's little mole). Or maybe this is just more evidence of me missing Raven. >.>
