WCDT: Independence Day Week (4 - 8 July, 1961-1965)

(1/127) > >>

jwhouk:
Up a couple days early due to the Holiday weekend (by the way, a late Happy Canada Day, eh? to our friends north of the border).

Method of Madness:
It's funny, I was thinking that Dora was becoming less of a central character, but if anything, this is her becoming an actual main character.  While she was dating Marten, she was less her own character, and almost everything that had to do with Dora was an interaction with one of the two uncontested main characters (Marten and/or Faye).  But now there's an arc that's actually about Dora, and how her decisions affect her.

jwhouk:
According to the Strip Character Count over on the Wiki, Dora's actually appearing less in the strip than before. She's still third overall ahead of everyone else except Faye & Marten, but she's been in fewer than 40% of the strips since the workout arc with Pen and Faye.

Dora had actually pulled ahead of Marten in appearances, between the workout arc and Jeph's 1st wedding anniversary. But she's returned to her third-banana status since then.

Of course, Faye/Marten/Dora have had more appearances combined than practically every other character with more than one appearance in the strip, so YMMV.

Method of Madness:
Perhaps I wasn't clear.  I wasn't talking about quantity of appearances, I'm talking about how her appearances now concern her own life, rather than her impact on Marten or Faye, and I also meant starting with this arc.

Kugai:
next week;

Marigold goes John Travolta at the party.
