Oh yes, was this in a missing story arc where Marten and Dora were both walking around naked - innocently so in Marten's case but sneakily on Dora's part, then she sneakily tripped up Marten and positioned herself so he fell into her, then out of her, then back into her again, totally unable to stop himself. Poor Marten.

For all of her talk about cutting toxic people out of her life, the sad part is, the only truly toxic person in Dora's life is Dora. I'm honestly so sick of this character, that i'm hoping we're witnessing the beginning of her final curtain call here. After this, all i really want is for her and her little Gothbucks coffee bar, to join Raven, Jimbo, Pizza Girl, and nameless Linux anthroPC as just another QC memory.

Y'know, it may well be that Dora is at least a part of her own downfall but maybe this will represent a growth opportunity for her character. Isn't she due the same benefit of the doubt that other main characters get?

I mean, she's not my favorite character (not that I have a favorite character), and I've disagreed with her actions before, but she's not some she-devil werebeast looking to feast on everyone's happiness.
The crazy thing about these characters is that they're multi-faceted, and they all have their strong and weak suits. It doesn't need to be so polarizing yall :psyduck:

Dora has confessed to being a vampire and a harpy in the past, devil werebeast isn't that much of a stretch :p

Thank you! It's arguable whether any character (besides Sara or other throwaways) have actually left the comic. We've seen updates, however fleeting, on pretty much everyone in the last 6 weeks in-comic time, and noone's been "gone" for more than 6 months. For details please consult the excellent thread Passage of time in QC.
If it's difficult to internalize this concept, I recommend an archive crawl, even just a short one of 100 strips or so...I suspect you'lll see just how compressed a look we're getting at these people's lives.

Faye needed a good hard slap-dose of reality to make her realise that she has.... not necessarily fucked up? But has gone the wrong way and needs to work on getting herself back to being happy with herself. Dora going back on firing her after drinking on the job would, intentionally or not, be equivalent to saying "no matter how much you screw Dora over, you'll always have a job here" and that + Marten's willingness to stick with her through anything (which isn't a bad thing in and of itself) does not equal recovery. It equals enabling.
Is Dora being kinda an ass about it right now? Yes.
Is Dora always going to be an ass about it? Probably not.
Is it EXACTLY WHAT FAYE NEEDS RIGHT NOW? Depending on how Marten/Hannelore etc manage it and her, I think yes.

To that, I'd add there's been a roughly 1/5 ratio of actual comic drama to forum predicted drama - everything tends to go better than expected, at least if you're getting your expectations here. :-D
