--- Quote from: someone on 08 Oct 2013, 15:06 ---This comic's humor is more in the author's flailing, ongoing attempt to recast Tai into something not completely vomit inducing. She stared as a spoiled, expensive liberal arts college student obsessed with group sex involving her unattainable, at least for one girl, dorm friend. She then moved up to stoner, slacker manager of the library. Once Dora was freed of the shackles of Martin and his overbearing ways that brought out Dora's overbearing nature (yes, I am being sarcastic at the nonsensical Dora evolution) Tai waited for Dora to go to a therapist then moved in. It took about five minutes. Tai evolved at that point to a high minded, poetic romantic wanting the best for a woman, whose relationship wasn't even cold yet and who is, lets be honest, almost as socially unacceptable as Tai. So putting those two together would be fine in an angsty, angry comic where people treat each other like dirt (Tai and Dora would fit right in with Randy and the gang just down the street in Boston) but not in the otherwise charming New England harem manga full of interesting, quirky and sympathetic characters Jeph has constructed.
Reiteration and demands

Not sure if it's wise to respond to this, but ah well. You make it all more complicated than it actually is. Tai is, literally from her first appearance, a fun loving prankster, and always is to our observation. We know of her sexual experiences strictly by retelling, and she expressed misgivings about them a thousand strips ago (and repeatedly thereafter a desire to slow down and try committing to one person), and interest in Dora at their first meeting. Tai asking Dora out took several hundred strips after the break up, during which they met as part of a group several times and Marten dated banged... bagged? (gotta be a nicer word) Padme and propositioned a space soldier. Neither Tai nor Dora are particularly angry people, and everyone is angsty (especially Angus' stylst). To be a harem, Marten's female friends would have to show a lot less interest in other dudes/ladies/germs, and bringing that up just makes me wonder about your reasons for disliking these two.
Who the heck is Randy (aside from the eternal one)?

I've never come across this overbearing Martin fellow. There's a guy called Marten who is not like that at all, though - some people criticise him for being a bit of a doormat (though a nice one).

Pretty sure that was part of the sarcasm at Dora.
--- Quote from: DrBear on 08 Oct 2013, 16:10 ---DORA: Mt. Dale.
TAI: Right here in the shop? OK.
--- End quote ---
That seems an unlikely response.
--- Quote from: Platypodes on 08 Oct 2013, 16:42 ---If this is supposed to be mounting in the sexual sense, then, Tai, you're doing it wrong. (Well, we know she doesn't have experience with men...)
--- End quote ---
Maybe knees are her erogenous zone.

Calling it: Dale as coffee delivery boy. In a sidecar.
Platypodes:
Perhaps more likely:
DORA: Mt. Dale.
TAI: Okay! *hup*
Method of Madness:
What sort of shenanigoats does Faye have in store?
GarandMarine:
Dun dun dun!
