But with Tai and Dora...I don't think I've ever seen this many people proselytizing that a relationship is doomed in QC forum history. Does this just come from personal dislike of the relationship, or is this just expectation of relationship failure based on Jeph's prior expertise in crafting flawed relationships?

Actually it seems to me that Jeph is following a fairly realistic pattern in most people's lives, namely that most romantic relationships usually end in a breakup. Think about it; how many people you know who are still with their first boyfriend/girlfriend? I'm betting not many at all. Relationships end, couples break up, it's a fact of life that Jeph seems to be reflecting in the comic. Now if the comic ends with Dora and Tai still together and going strong, I'll be like "Wow, they beat the odds." Otherwise, I consider them doomed. Remember, Dora and Marten were together for a quite awhile, both in comic time and our time, before their relationship went belly up. All I can say is I hope Dora and Tai have some good times (and we get to enjoy them as well), before the end, and I hope they can remain friends afterward.

Exactly. This is a slice of life comic, and sometimes life is like that - doing the wrong thing for the wrong reason.

No! How can this be!

D'aaaaaaw... freckles on the neck... the urge to write "OMNOMNOM" in italics is nigh-overwhelming! °O
And: YAY for bringing back the light-hearted witty comments. (Albeit not music-related in this case... what gives?)
