WCDT: Independence Day Week (4 - 8 July, 1961-1965)
Carl-E:
I'm glad the comic's up. Jeph had also mentioned drawing it early because of the holiday festivities. I'm guessing he forgot to set it up to post autmatically, and put it up before passing out.
So, Dora's "Oh, shit". Is it;
1. a sudden (re)epiphany (she knew she was at fault before),
2. a sudden realization that she's now trying to blame Marten,
3. a sudden realization that she just blew the date with Jim (and any hope of a second one),
4. some other sudden realization, such as the literal one - like she just noticed she stepped in some dog residue...

5. a combination of points 1, 2 and 3. (4 would only occur if her heel broke, she took off said heel and had to walk home bare foot)

IT WAS YOU DORA! IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG!

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.

Indeed. That he's trying to write them as fallible humans who say stuff that can be plain wrong is a given, and if I comment on the character actions, it's with that assumed. I can deride someone for being an idiot even with the knowledge that they're supposed to be that way.
I think the only thing that would satisfy those folk is if she actually realized fully just how much of her mess is her own fault (not just dancing around it like now) and somehow set up a guillotine to decapitate herself in the CoD basement (and used it on herself, obviously). With a bucket to catch the head.

She doesn't look at Jim the last two panels, so I'm guessing it's an internal revelation, but related to the date (oh damn, I shouldn't have come on this date). So, none of the above I guess.

Ooooooooooooh Comic ! :lol:
Dora definitely talked before she was thinking ...
And she broke up just some weeks ago with Marten, so its natural theres some akward time afterwards.
