--- Quote from: Orkboy on 25 Aug 2014, 11:47 ---Wow. I'm more impressed with the responses than I am with the comic. Here's my take on it, though:
Wait for it.
If Dora had started hitting Sven with a broom handle or something while yelling at him, everyone here would be cool with it. BUT! because she's instead decided to distance herself from him, avoid the implied ultra-violence most of us were expecting, and just not wade into the shitstorm, about 50% of the readers have decided that she is the Wicked Witch of the Coffeehouse. I'm more interested in what this tells me about the readers than what this tells me about the characters.
Consider yourselves observed, Attenborough-style.

I was not entirely behind whatever she was planning on doing ever since the red-eyes panel way back when. I would not have been "cool" at all with her violently handling a situation that has nothing to do with her at all.

It could be that sarcastic euphoria. The "ISN'T THIS GREAT?! I know it isn't, but by golly I'm going to ACT like it is as a giant 'F-YOU' to the person in question!" type of thing.
...Does...does that make sense?

Yes. I thought that was what it was.
Mmeaninglessnamee:
Lost in the wave of discussion, I'll agree and comment on what a few people said about Sven; He's lost several levels of character recently. As I've seen people say in discussions well before this current arc, Hanners seems OK with Sven. Whether this means Sven has changed, or that he Hanners couldn't read him doesn't matter much to discuss right now,but Sven isn't acting to the extents of his character.
On a different note, I hope Sven isn't cut off from the rest of the cast, I want to see him around more. (He and Jimbo need to combine their respective bad-song and bad-book skills to make a mutli-media empire.)

Just so. :wink:

Does Dora still have Sven's spare key?
