(That or they'd have to have really severe circumstances, for example violence in the family.) So I admit I completely failed to understand what the big deal is the first time I read the comic.

Same here.

Was still easy to "get" compared to yesterdays comic, though. Even after reading the forum I still have no clue what it is all about.

Welu:
I think there's not been much freaking over Jim's still being married because it's not 100% if he was joking. He already made a joke about Dora being the right age for children so this doesn't seem much past him. It is fun to see Dora getting caught off-guard though.

Something about Dora's body language when Jim is touching her shoulder reminds me a lot of my younger self. Back when I was terrified (more terrified, at least) of physical contact and any time someone I was crushing on touched me my brain went to, "This should be nice and kind of is but this feels really weird and this is too far out of my comfort zone."
Dora probably doesn't feel completely like that but that's my personal projection. At least Jim knew to take his hand away, so he seems pretty sensitive to people when it counts and when his sense of humour doesn't get the better of him.

Unintentional adding to the Jim = Marten From The Future theory

Skaltura:
Is it just me or does Dora look very similar to Marten in this strip? Especially her face in panel 1 and 4b. If you compare her to Hanners' dream-creature then the only difference I can see is that Marten's jaw is slightly more angular, it's if not creepy then at least somewhat unsettling. :psyduck:

Also yay for legitimate use of Psyduck on first post!

Because we weren't exposed to the circumstances of Jimmy's divorce, unlike Dora and her callous breakup with Marten.

Dr. ROFLPWN:
As much as I am diggin this date I kind of want to see more of Hanners GET HER KNEES FLEXIN AND HER ARMS T-REXIN 8D
