* My grandfather had six brothers and six sisters, and they grew up in an old farmhouse around the turn of the last century that had only a few bedrooms. Two kids sharing a bedroom isn't unusual, but it's more common if they're both of the same sex. Of course, there's the question of their parents about that decision. I wonder when they moved into the place we saw a few hundred strips ago?

Near Lurker:
Do keep in mind that these are the parents who are perpetually high and don't think twice about her having sex with his brother, or him at least flirting with his daughter's employees, or their daughter covering her walls in porn, of a solo woman. Putting a boy and girl in the same room is probably not scandalous to them; if anything, they figure it'll double up on the the Westermark effect.
Is it cold in here?:
Going into Dora's childhood would be hard to do without bogging things down, but Jeph's now got two natural routes to bringing it up: therapy, and Sven.

Also it's a bit unfair to say they're perpetually high; all we know is that they do it now. They might not have started until Dora and Sven were adults, or (probably more likely) they did it when they first met, then stopped once they had children.
Carl-E:
While obscure cultural references abound in QC, I tend to agree with a previous poster that Princess Spookyspell is probably a modded fashion doll. Dora may well have dyed the blond hair of a Barbie black (with a sharpie, one of my daughters did the same), inspiring her own later transformation. Or maybe it was Midge, or any one of a thousand 12" knockoffs. I get the feeling the bones atop her head are a kid's skull-and-crossbones hair clip, though they wouldn't have been as ubiquitous when Dora was a girl as they are now. Perhaps a headband made of an old plastic halloween ring?
Regardless, ithink the name's a dead giveaway - it just doesn't sound commercial, it sounds more personal. Something Dora made up for her brooding childhood friend.
Must've been one hell of an adolescence!

Damn. Near Lurker, where the hell did all that come from? No indication at all that most of that happened. Incest? Come on. Sven indicates that they were separated before that would have been a problem, anyway - 9 and 10 is pretty early for sexual activity (not impossible, but pretty early on the curve). No indication she "covered her walls in porn", either - she had some Veronica Vance stuff, but it had been her father's, probably magazines she kept stashed that her mother found at one point. Nothing so weird as you seem to have read nto her past.
Edited for the sake of I Love Lucy reruns.
