--- Quote from: Loki on 04 Mar 2011, 06:40 ---a) Dora was supposed to go to therapy, but we haven't seen even as much as a hint she has actually been there. In fact, I just realized we haven't even seen here since 1848, which equals weeks in universe time.

Try a bit later than that.
--- Quote from: Loki on 04 Mar 2011, 06:40 ---b) Marten is supposedly somewhat over Dora (judging from the Padma-in-the-bar-arc), but what I feel is really missing is the two talking out things. I mean, all they have done since the break-up is repressing stuff and avoiding each other (cf. It'd be too weird.) I really wish for some progress about that.

Dude. Since 1842, we've had Marten and Hanners finding TSB, Steve and Marten going out to the Horrible Revelation for drinks, and the whole "Faye sleeps over at Angus" thing - and that's before Faye even meets Padma.
The number one issue with an ensemble cast in any work of serial fiction - books, comics, TV, et cetera - is that sometimes it takes a while for the storyline to come around to certain cast members.

--- Quote from: Loki on 04 Mar 2011, 06:40 ---I agree with the bolded part, but not for the same reasons. I feel inclined to say that this single comic has (or rather, would have, if it was canon) progressed the story between Dora and Marten more than anything else Jeph has done since the breakup.

Yes! That's how I feel too. Everyone may not like how the stuff in this comic happened, but at least something finally did happen!
The past few weeks, and especially this week, have felt like filler to me. I like Hanners just as much as anyone, but a whole week of her adventure with beef jerky was hard to read when I was/am thinking "What about Dora???" the whole time.

Wasn't he in like some strips? 1400-ish range?

DoomMagnet:
Perhaps Dora will go the way of Steve in the early days. Where he basically disappeared like nothing, was mentioned once, and then returned full blown. Or worse yet, Sarah! Of course I am kidding. About Sarah, not Steve.
