Well, hell, Sven, how hard would it have been to say "Hi, Marigold"? I'd Gibbs-slap ya if it wouldn't bust my computer, you bein' a cartoon character and all.
DJRubberducky:
Sorry for going all the way back to yesterday's strip with this comment, but:
I'm really surprised nobody else has made explicit mention that Dora just might be freaking out about the therapist wanting to spend the whole nominal-hour talking about her brother, when one of her major insecurity issues is that she felt everyone cared about her brother more than they did about her.
Yes, in this case there will probably be some helpful advice coming out of such talking, but that doesn't change the fact that her therapist very neatly pushed one of Dora's buttons right there in the first session.
pwhodges:
Why should it be the therapist who decided that, though? The therapist will be mostly listening, and Sven is what Dora found herself talking about. She may blame the therapist for not changing the subject, but that's not how they work.
Carl-E:
Ah yes, I can see it now...
"So, tell me a little about your brother."
Then, either
"What, that man-whore?" followed by a 45 minute seething rant, or
"Well, he's nice enough, I guess. At least he is lately. When we were younger..." followed by 45 minutes of tales of woe and intrigue.
Either way, grist for the mill!

Well, he didn't actually said "hi" to hanners either, and he is good at reading people and he obviously noticed that Marigold was unconfortable... I don't think he was at fault there...
