--- Quote from: Boomslang on 09 Jun 2011, 02:39 ---Part of me wants to see Dora say yes. But that part of me also feeds off of drama and angst.
Really though, the repercussions of this could be significant. Dora is not in a good state, and she clearly isn't naturally attracted to Jim like she was with Marten. If she takes it badly, then an entire house of cards might come crashing down. I can't really imagine QC without coffee of doom, but I've always had the impression it's an apocalypse waiting to happen.

I have pointed it out before, but I feel like doing it again.
Dora can crash and burn without neither CoD nor herself being history.
I know this from experience - I have just gotten through the first year of five in my studies for a Master in Engineering, with a substantial depression. It's perfectly possible to work (albeit slowly) 10 hours a day, cry 7 hours and sleep 6 hours. Not good at all, not easy, but you can get through a mental breakdown without everything around you also falling down. Of course, when there is helpful friends around it does help. And I don't exactly feel Dora is short on those, unlike me.

But she still loves Marten! But Jim is pursuing her like a man! But Marten loves her! But Jim has hair of SILVER! But she still has issues! But he can bake!
WHAT TO DO?!?!??!

Love triangle!-ish. I'm not sure if this is the unwelcome sort of speculation, but IF Dora were to go into a relationship right now, who would be a better match for her? Tai is pretty carefree, assertive and has known Dora for a while (also girl-on-girl fyeah), but Jim is a fellow entrepreneur and may handle issues in a more mature way than Marten did (I'm making this assumption because he looks old).

As much as I agree that Dora has issues, I don't think she's constantly on the verge of psychosis. Her break-up with Marten had no effect on her business other than the loss of one customer and I don't think a guy asking her out will tip the boat. That's not really what her issues were about anyway, was it?

As Jeph has set up two current possibilities for Dora, he can hardly expect us not to discuss the matter to some extent. Just keep it sensible. Of course, we'll let you know soon enough if we consider the speculation gets out of bounds.

Yeah, and the perma-stubble too. If I were Dora, my dirty-old-man alarm would be ringing. The parallel expressions until we get to the last panel punchline made me giggle.

What? He's packing a whole napsack of issues from his failed (N.B. failed) marriage and divorce. And yeah, I'd guess he has 15-20 years on Dora.
