--- Quote from: Welu on 21 Jun 2011, 09:28 ---I'm reading this strip as Faye realizing what's the point of telling Dora off for the date when she knows that won't change Dora's mind and probably just drive her further into wanting to go on the date. Maybe Faye's just not in the mood to argue right before a party so she won't be angry and drinking. Faye's expression in the third panel looks really exasperated, like she's only saying what she's saying to avoid an argument that she thinks won't have a good result for either person other than pissing each other off.

Essentially, this. We all have that one friend who gets written off as a lost cause. Faye's stance and body language has elements of this.

I also feel like Faye's frustration with Dora is biased. Sure, part of it is caring about a friend. But I think a large portion is her siding with Marten* or being annoyed that Dora broke him and now she has to pick up the pieces. Like, she just got over her drama and now she has to look after her formerly-functional friends and be the middle-man amidst the awkwardness. (That is how I would feel if I was her.)

P.S. How do you do the codes for hyperlinking a word?

Don't put quotes round the URL, as bad things happen to it.

Also, Dora seems to fail to realize that Faye already tried to dissuade her, and she wouldn't listen, so why try again right before the date?

Not really, as we never really know what day of the week it is in the comic. Tai could have asked Dora on Monday, or Wednesday. If it was earlier in the week, nothing noteworthy might have happened to warrent it being in the comic. If it was later, I know from experience that if you have a party, you rarely invite everyone that early anyway. Its usually a case of "Oh hey, party tonight at our place, you coming?"
"Sure."
What's really surprising to me is that they're having this party on a Friday, not a Thursday.
@MusicalSoul. I do my best. Thank you :P

Well, there's the thing, really. This forum (and the relationship thread elsewhere) sometimes becomes a cluster of people shouting that the only healthy way to be is the way they were brought up. Laissez Fair, Protestant Work Ethic, or whatever in between.
