Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT: Independence Day Week (4 - 8 July, 1961-1965)
pwhodges:
Those who have been concerned about Jeph's well-being should be pleased to know that he has tweeted that he is about to start drawing today's comic; so, no need to panic.
KingofHearts:
I would like to add another reason they broke up is like so many relationships. A lack of communication. If Dora realized that Marten had passive tendencies and if Marten realized that Dora had insecurity issues, why didn't they both say something to each other like adults are supposed to? Because we live in a society where we don't share our feelings?
Admittedly I have a very similar personality to Marten. I had a girlfriend a year ago and we broke up in a very similar fashion to the to the way Dora and Marten broke up. We had a fun year together but every now and then we would have these stupid fights that never really got the heart of what we felt about each other. If we had been both sensibly adults and said what we felt about each other then we would have at least been able to get along together better.
Plus Marten as far as I can see it, didn't have the most healthiest of upbringings. While Dora's issues are fairly obvious Marten aren't until you look back on all those strips.
So apparently me and Blackjack are the only two people on this board who love G Gundam. 8-)

But Dora's objection wasn't that he was flirting with Cosette (because he wasn't) - it's that he wasn't open with her about the incident.

Well, I've gone back and read that comic, and to me it seems like Marten just didn't think that getting asked out by a girl was such a big deal. I mean, he refused pretty quickly, and explained that he was seeing someone at the moment. It was all pretty diplomatically dealt with and took less than 15 seconds out of his day. Maybe he didn't even remember it properly by the time he came to CoD later that day.
I mean, you might be right, but I don't think that Marten was deliberately trying to hide it from her. I reckon it's easy to say things like this in hindsight, because when you're panicking you say a lot of stuff that vaguely forms excuses. Maybe that's just me.
pwhodges:
But what is "openness"? He thought it not especially worth mentioning, whereas she viewed that as hiding it.
Mr. Doctor:
Thanks for the info, pwhodges. I don't have twitter so I was getting a bit worried. :-)
