Mari-girl's right. Pretty people are dicks.

This is kinda off the current line of discussion but I noticed Jeph's doing something a little different with Marigold's hair in the front. Also, I like that green hoodie on her :-)

The larger point, and for the purposes of the comic the punchline, is that Dora doesn't get it: "When is it going to be about me?"

Thinking back to the list she gave about him to Marten way back in 1107, she does have about 45 minutes of stuff on him:
[*] Everything's always about HIM. (Which I doubt he'd agree with, at least right now.)
[*] Every other girl at school had a crush on him. (You wonder if the scene at the Horrible Revelation and the "napkin full of phone numbers" happened frequently in HS.)
[*] Half my friends were just pretending they liked me so they could sneak up to his room and make out. (The key word in that sentence? "pretending". BIG trust issue there.)
[*] He was Mr. Popular and I was just his weird little sister who had bad skin and wore too much black. (Poor self image.)
[*] He doesn't even have to TRY! (Songwriting is not an easy job, even when it's country music.)
[*] He cruised through HS and college (This is also just from her point of view, but I know there are people out there who have done this.)
[*] He never studied and still got perfect grades. (Again, from her POV - and what does SHE mean by "perfect grades"? Anything better than she did?)
[*] Meantime I'm busting my ass to make C's and D's (Ah, now it comes out. He was probably getting A's and B's, not "perfect" or "straight-A" grades.)
[*] Then after school, he writes completely stupid f'ing songs and paychecks come rolling in (I wonder how many of those royalty checks he's received since the Riversmith episode?)
[*] I can barely afford a living wage. (But she's her own boss with her own employment - and as she pointed out to Marten's mom, "It consistently fails to drive me into bankruptcy, so I must be doing something right.")
[*] Oh, and one of my best friends was boinking him. (I added that. I wonder how the whole thing with Faye and Sven - and their resulting breakup - will come around in therapy.)

It's grown out. Remember? Time skips?

By definition, you can't remember time skips.

Well, I got from 10th grade to 12th grade somehow.
