jwhouk:
Jeph could put Dora "on a bus", but it'd be difficult as all get-out.

I think we actually talked a bit about that in the Thread That Must Not Be Named. Writing Dora out would require someone to take over CoD (Sven and/or Hanners would be the only likely pair), or have CoD eliminated from the QCverse by an Act of God (or Cosette).

The problem with the first would be how to send Dora off to oblivion. He could go all Teh Dramaz with a Suicide Attempt, but that would be too much for Faye to handle. Dora could also do a Raven and go back to school for a business degree, but I don't think that would be "in character" for her.

The problem with the second is that eliminating CoD wouldn't necessarily eliminate Dora, but it would affect pretty much the entire cast. Faye, Penelope, Cosette and Hannelore would lose their jobs; Dora probably wouldn't be in a very good frame of mind (though it would definitely be cause for a suicide attempt, but it'd essentially put her emotionally where Faye was right before the strip began).

Only thing I can think of is that I'm glad that I'm not the one who has to figure out how to balance CoD and Dora with Marten and the rest of the cast.

EDIT: Oh, and:

He doesn't have a castle, either.

Congratulations, you win a million Moxanna points. ;)

Sharp:
I'm looking forward to more Faye/Angus, Marten getting out of his rut, and HOPEFULLY another time-skip. Jeph has pulled it off with success before, and I think that as long as he ties up all the immediate loose ends, he could do it with little fanfare in order to help keep things exciting.

iduguphergrave:
If he wanted to make things really exciting, he could do the time skip very subtly like before, but the "future" we get skipped to is a post-apocalyptic North Hampton with every citizen fending for themselves and the gang trying to survive as best they can. Dora has turned the shop into a saloon and now has an eyepatch. Nobody explains what happened or exactly how much time has passed.

ysth:
You're either on the bus or you're off the bus.

jwhouk:
Or the bus runs you over.
