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.

To clarify - my point here wasn't that Dora was right to object; it was that she wasn't objecting to him flirting, so it wasn't hypocritical that she was also flirting. (Wonder what she'd have said if Marten had said "That isn't out of the ordinary! Girls in the library ask me out all the time! Just like guys ask you out all the time here!" ?)

Man, I'd like to live that kind of life ^^

I'm sure I'm not the first saying this, but I'm saying this anyway: She hasn't had this exact same conversation with Marten WHY?

Probably because the penny only dropped yesterday.

I've compared Dora's insecurities about Faye to Steve's insecurities about Dave before, and now I'm going to bring up this. In the next strip Cossette even pulls the "I'm WITH YOU. I'm not interested in any other guy." AND THEN a few strips later he talks shamelessly about going to a stripclub in front of Cossette. Hmmmmm.
My question is whether he generated as much heat as Dora did when that happened, and if not, why not? I think Steve's outbursts seem more acceptable than Dora's because he appears to be a simpler dude (maybe only because he's a dude D:), but really they have very similar symptoms. Dora's behaviour automatically seems much worse and scarier because we know she has some kind of psychological scar.
Take, for example, a girl who drinks a lot and sleeps around. And then a girl who drinks a lot and sleeps around whose best friend died while her neglectful parents went through a messy divorce. Suddenly drinking a lot and sleeping around seems less okay, no?

Have Marten and Dora actually seen each other since they broke up? I can't recall.
