Excellent Guest Strip
Get well soon Mr. Jacques.

--- Quote from: DSL on 21 Apr 2011, 11:33 ---Eh. Dora owns the business and I'm assuming the space she rents is privately owned by another. Not sure what's the case in Massachusetts but an Ohio business has the right to say: "And stay out." Not that I hope that happens, though I can see the internal logic of the strip and Dora's character-makeup leading there.

I don't. Yeah, legally she probably could, but I don't see why she WOULD. As exit lines go, "It's been wonderful sweetie, but we should call it quits" is hardly "I HATE YOU YOU ****ING ####### AND NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! GO DIE IN A DITCH!". To boot, she seemed to be on a relatively even keel the last few times we saw her, and they still have plenty of mutual friends (Faye & Hanners being the most obvious two).
It'd be awkward, but "uh, so how've you been."/"oh, you know" sort of awkward, not "eye-daggers at twenty paces" awkward.

I think it would still be consistent if Dora went all "I'm sorry Marten, I'm not ready for this talk yet. Could you please avoid coming here for now? I'll contact you when I'm ready." Marten would comply, because he's the kind to leave people space (a bit too much at times, to his own detriment, but that's not the point).
Then, Dora being Dora, and prone to let panic take the best out of her, she'll cower from initiating that talk for MONTHS, to the point that Faye has to physically threaten her.

That occurred to me too, but I decided to take the high road...

In all fairness, Dora wouldn't even say "I'm not ready for this talk yet." She'd just make some sort of excuse and leave it at that. Its what she does if she comes across a problem. Dora runs away, or makes promises she has no intention of keeping just to get people off her back. (Example, the underpants hug incident where Dora promises Marten she'll work on her trust issues, only she doesn't and 50 pages later we get the Break-Uptm, with no sign of Dora trying to make any change in her attitude or with her issues).

I think it's more that she makes promises she intends to keep at the moment, THEN runs away from keeping them.
