i'm glad they are on good terms, I just wish the discussion was a little more meaningful

What? You'd rather they had an explosive confrontation? The manatee on codeine? Looking at him, and judging by what Dora says, the guy is running on fumes at the minute. And even with everything Marten has been through, I really doubt he'd be the guy who says "Oh hey, its the girl who ripped out my heart and used it like a hacky-sack. Burn in hell bitch!"
And I just realised half the forum would be bowled over if that happened, dead from the shock.....

If you read what I wrote, you'll see that I didn't say explosive, I said meaningful.
I'm not interested in meaningless drama, I just felt that given the span of their relationship, there would be a little more meat to the conversation than "we cool?"
I also happen to enjoy reading some of the deeper moments in QC, as they don't occur nearly as often as the snarky/silly/sarcastic moments (but of course I find those moments entertaining, or else I wouldn't read QC in the first place). It's just.....sometimes you want pineapple upside down cake because you don't have it very often, y'know?
Elysiana:
Heh. My mom turns 72 this year and my dad would have been 73; they had me when they were 40 and 41, and my oldest brother is 19 years older than me.
Glad to see Marten and Dora finally talk. I don't even know that I'd call it anticlimactic even though there wasn't much conversation about it - I'm sure it's a big relief to both of them to know that the other isn't freaked out, or angry, or even pining away. Sitting there analyzing every detail of what went wrong would not be a step in the right direction because that's when the Blame Game starts. I'd rather not see them fall into that.
lepetitfromage:
I think even an "I'm sorry" would have sufficed....I just feel that with all the growing up that everyone seems to think they need to do, this isn't the most adult way to clarify where they stand with each other. Not saying it was a BAD strip, I am definitely happy that they patched things up.
eta: Although now that I think about it, the witty banter is definitely more in character for them, albeit not necessarily in character with where Dora's head has been at lately in the strip. I suppose it is nice to see her going back to her roots :-P

Just watched it all. It was actually kinda depressing. The one I'm getting is in nowhere near as good a shape - lotsa rust. There's no way I can put that kind of money into it, either...
Time to buy a welder.
NotAwesomeAnymore:
Well, we actually never saw the full conversation they had during the break-up. Maybe they did all their apologies and analysis and discussioning then. There are plenty of examples and incidents to go through but in the end it wasn't much more than one partner being insecure and jealous while the other denied there was anything to be insecure and jealous about.
I can't think of anything worse than sitting and working everything out with an ex as though it were couple's therapy.
