nevertheless i still think dora and marten might get together again. i don't understand why this possibility hasn't been brought up yet (maybe it has, but i don't read the whole forum.) it wouldn't be that unusual.

I think the lack of discussion would be down to a shortage of timeline and being at a risk of shipping. I think you're right though, the possibility exists, but the odds are largely dependant on the two of them getting through the post break up meeting without burning bridges.
Still waiting to see if Jeph is going to sneak in a Vaccines reference. They've been on high rotation on XFM and it always makes me think of QC when it comes on (all of my friends are boring fuckers in stable relationships, I need more psychos in my clique).

Smoot:
Something puzzles me about today's comic, and there's no other way to put it, so I'm just gonna come out with it:
When Marten says 'do you think we did the right thing', and Veronica talks about the 'right decision'... when did Marten 'do' or 'decide' anything about this situation? What action or decision did he make? Dora broke up with him. There wasn't any 'mutuality' about it. There's no "we" to it, or am I totally wrong?
Unless we're meant to take his losing his temper once in the entire run of the comic as him actually making a decision to 'make' Dora break up with him?

Also, it appears that Marten is pretty much immune to parental TMI bombs.
But I guess he kinda has to be, otherwise he'd be Dr Corrine's most lucrative patient.

They are broken up, even if only one made the actual decision. I suppose you could also say that he accepted it - though whatever he felt about it, he couldn't choose to stay un-broken-up when she had broken with him! But essentially, there isn't any other way for him to express it idiomatically - he's hardly likely to ask his mum "do you think she did the right thing breaking up with me?", is he.
