Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCT 24-28 January, 2011
pwhodges:
I thought at first that the phrasing of Faye's question suggested that we had jumped a few days, but that's probably wrong because Faye is still dressed as when she left the flat.

For comic 1848...
1. Yay for coming back around to black-hair Dora, my favorite of all Dora hair colors. The counter-balance to that is that I also enjoy Dora periodically changing her hair now & then simply for the sake of Change (as long as she eventually goes back to black 8-) ), it is very appropriate to Dora's character.
2. Nice to see Dora moving forward as well. Even before The Break-Up, Dora had really been having some bad times. Hopefully this is the beginning of a shift towards better times for her.
Because I missed The Secret Bakery...
3. Really loved The Secret Bakery, Jeph did a fantastic job with that short-arc. Hope we do return to it again sometime, it would be a shame after all that artistic time + effort on Jeph's part not to.
4. Good thing Secret Bakery "Dora" did not give Marten the Secret Menu, otherwise the CoD girls might have lost their favorite indie boy forevermore...
About Hannelore...
5. QC's top-most supporting character has progressed more leagues than The Nautilus under the seas from when she first stalked QC's central protagonist to watch him pee in the women's restroom sink. But likewise, she has plenty more to go before she reaches the level of "normal" (whatever that term actually means) that she thinks she desires, and that is one of the major reasons so many adore Hanners.
6. Do I think Hannelore and Marten would an "interesting" pairing? Sure, but then Hanners + [most QC cast names here] probably would. Do I think such an event would happen? .....mmmmm-Possibly, but not without a long-term period (200+ strips minimum) of build-up and a defining moment that would make the readers give a Keanu Reeves' "whoah..." Heck, Hannelore having a romantic relationship could be Jeph's gift to the readers if the world does not break apart by continent-shattering earthquakes, Noah-level floods, & super-volcanoes in 2012, that is how far I would see such a thing happening... [for your own sakes, do not watch this movie (2012). I did and lost the part of my brain that knew who the 40th President of the United States was :?]
[P.S Edit Add: More ranting than intended in retrospective review, damn late work fatigue, I guess... :psyduck:]

So that firmly establishes that this is happening on the day after Marty-mom left town.
I thought it might have represent a few days or weeks later.

The dumper usually moves on faster than the dumpee, simply by virtue of the dumper tending to see the end of the relationship coming first. The dumpee is generally blindsided.

yeah but in this case you'd expect a course of emotions that i expected to take a little longer, stages of grief and all

Dora's probably repressing all that. At this point, "moving on" just seems to refer to finding a place, more "moving out", but Faye saying "I'm glad to see you're moving out" would really sound rude. Dora's just starting to get on with her life, she's going to have a long way to go before anyone could say she's "moved on". In particular, that therapy she's supposed to get will be interesting...
TheBiscuit:
Why does Dora get to be heartbroken about all this? She broke up with Marten. As unhappy as he might have been in the relationship he never seemed to show any signs that he might be about to break up with her. If she's not happy to be single, it is entirely her own doing. I don't understand why the other characters have sympathy for Dora.
