--- Quote from: pwhodges on 03 Aug 2011, 08:56 ---Actually, he said as much about liking his present apartment, and it having more space, as he said about not wanting it to be hard for Faye:
1577: "But I like this apartment!"
1578: "It's not that I don't want to move IN with you, it's just that this place has more room than yours"
1579: "I just really like this apartment!"
and in each case he said that before referring to Faye. I suspect that in 1581 he could have been about to agree to move in with Dora, when she pre-empted him by agreeing the opposite. It may have been a bad decision for them both, though.

First of all, I really admire how you all always back up what you say with links to the specific comment. I've never seen forum members do this quite so well or as often as this forum. :)
I think you have a good point. A lot of it was that he didn't want to move-- I don't know if he is the type to handle change well. And it's not that he chose Faye over Dora TECHNICALLY. It's just that I don't think he considered how saying that would make Dora feel, considering her insecurities concerning him and Faye. I don't think that he considered how some of his actions would affect Dora, either. That is part of his awkward personality, I guess-- he never seems to have bad intentions, but he is not good at knowing the "right" things to say or do.
I should probably mention that I was in a similar situation as Dora, so I am definitely looking at this with a bias. I think I took parts of the comic a little too personally. Haha. That realism is what I like about the comic, though. It's nice to have something to laugh at-- but when an author can write something that gets under your skin because you RELATE to it, that's when you know he/she is doing a good job.
Is it weird if I kind of want to know what a giant tunnel made of hair would feel like?

Grrr....the new poll has too many choices that I want to pick. I can't narrow it down to one choice. Damn you, jwhouk!

It just occurred to me... art-wise, creepy hairdresser girl may have been the original concept Jeph had for Hanner-stalker Clinton (who originally intended to have Clinton as female).
