Mr. Doctor:

Agree with this. Ok, Marten ain't perfect but "a lot of it was him too" just sounds wrong to me. I won't say that it's all her fault. But most of it was totally her fault.

Awkward silences - definte date-killers.

guayec:
also the 'we' in 'we broke up' is kind of misleading. i liked how she put it in the 4th panel of 1960. because it was you, dora. it was all most of it you.

WAYF:

I agree with this. In fact, I'd suggest that Dora actually preferred him passive. It may have been a lack of blood sugar, but we ARE talking about a woman who got angry because Marten didn't consult her before getting a haircut (even though, as he pointed out, she changes her hair all the time)

Besides, it probably wouldn't have been nearly as much fun for her to flirt with him if he wasn't such a pushover :P


Panel 4 today is the best example of Foot-in-Mouth syndrome I've seen in a veeery long time.  :lol:

DSL:
I suppose it would be useless to point out that Jeph himself says (what the TVTrope mavens call "Word of God") he tries to write things so that none of his characters are right all the time, or 100 percent right in any given situation.
But my first thought on seeing today's comic was: "Well, this'll keep happy the folks who want Dora's head in a bucket."
No, it didn't. Not really.
