So Dora is wound up juicily for Tai's party. Marten should wear a crosshair T-shirt, just an idea.

FYP

Dora's lucky. A lot of other people in Jim's position would have told Elliott to put their muffins back in the truck and call off the business deal. I too, offer kudos to Jim for being so understanding. I see the similarities with Marten. :-)

Same author for both character have anything to do with that?
Strange thought: Are there any truly unsympathetic MALE characters in this strip?
I know Steve can be a jerk sometimes, but it's the women and the 'bots that cause most of the trouble.

TheEvilDog:
Sven was the unsympathetic male in the comic, rich, successful, didn't have to do much in life, just coasted along and has presumably a crapton of money. I say was, because since Faye mentally castrated him, Sven has become a little bit more sympathetic.
But there aren't many characters that has been designed to be "hated". Or if they are, they're usually just one shot characters we might not see again.

Hanners and Marigold have a very nice thing running. A solid friendship has been building between those two for some time.
And in this comic they truly understand each other!

--- Quote from: DSL on 27 May 2011, 06:50 ---Well, I was gonna say something about how I sympathize with Dora, because it can be frustrating when you want to make something right and the other party won't have it, and how that's sometimes more frustrating than when each party is blatantly angling for the immediate advantage because you don't know whether the other party is genuinely trying to accommodate as well, or looking for some other advantage down the line, and how nicely subtle the expressions are in the last panel (Dora more baffled and frustrated than angry and Jim more bemused than anything by the whole thing) ... but daaaaaaang, y'all.
Edited to fix results of fat fingers typing on a touch screen.

Ah, passive aggressive niceness - well done to Dora for breaking the loop!
