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.

If it's been less than a day since Ms. Reed left town, then what I said above does not apply to Dora right now-she could not have "moved on" yet unless she had decided to dump Marten weeks or months before-and it doesn't look like that's what happened from the past few months of comics. So, I agree with Carl-E that she's most likely repressing-or may be "all cried out" for the time being.

People never wear an outfit more than once, nor do they sometimes wear them again within a few days of each other if laundry day falls between wearings.
PenSwordAccord:
You know, I was recently re-reading "Queen of Wands" with the commmentary by Aeire, and at one point she stated, and I paraphrase, -let my main protagonist be happy? That would be boring and where would the humor be?- That was the jist of the comment anyway. I read that, and immediately flashed on this whole storyline that Jeph is/has been doing. I am not a writer, or that may have occurred to me earlier in the arc.
I would have really hated to have read "Queen of Wands while it was running because watching everything happening in slo-mo would have been agonizing. Oh gee. Look at what is happening in QC!? I'll survive. I MUST know what happens next!! :wink:

Why not? (I have no idea if he is, but his taste seems pretty catholic from what I know of it.)

Of course, she could - but I'm sure we can agree that it would be natural for the artist to make a change for successive appearances that are not the same day, precisely to signal that.
Odin:
Just pointing out that if it makes more sense for time to have passed since we last saw the coffee shop, in terms of character development, using "Jeph used the same clothing instead of a different outfit!" is a pretty weak basis for saying it is still the same day.
