This comic is, in all sense of the word...... 8-) Bittersweet.
akronnick:
Don't do it Marten!
Faye without her bitterness might actually be more dangerous!
*edit: added the word 'more' per Cold's post below*
Is it cold in here?:
She's not dangerous now?

In more ways than one, in the 50 comics after the breakup, Dora appeared in 8 comics (9 if you count her cowering under the counter when Veronica showed up), the 50 after that we saw her 8 times (Not counting Randy Mulholland's guest strip). And in the 50 leading up to 1950 she made 15 appearances. 31 appearances, granted some were single panels. Compare that to Marten or Faye, who have both appeared in (conservative guess, coz its 3:15am and I'm not counting again!) about 80 comics each.
So either Jeph is knocking Dora to a second tier character, or showing her less to stop it from becoming "the Dora Show".

It wasn't until you pointed out Dora's declining appearances that I realized that Marten and Dora haven't even been in the same strip once since they split up. As far as I can tell they haven't seen each other or spoken since the break-up. That might make hearing about her impending date just a little extra painful for poor Marty. It's not like he hasn't tried to see her again, she just wasn't at the shop when he went in.
