At this point, I'd have just laughed my ass off. I can appreciate a good bit when I know it's a bit

It's a long weekend and Marten invites Claire to stay over for those three nights and four days. Will Faye be able to handle it? Will Pintsize be able to handle it?

no, benrg, bloody hell no. three nights and four days? how long would that take in the comic? i'd have to take a break from reading, there is no way I could stand that much claire.

You know, your near-hysterical dislike of Claire, initially funny in a sad way, is just becoming tiresome.

Joking about shrubbery aside, I really don't see CoD vanishing from the strip. Or Dora.

CoD was a home to Faye. So that one thing the symbolic non-symbolic strip is conveying. CoD was where Marten went to find his two best friends. That over now, but I really doubt Marten's going to stop going there, all other things considered.

In universe, however, it's no longer his social hub. Out of universe, from a writing perspective, it is no longer the easy way for Jeph to connect the three most major characters in the strip. It seems likely that this is the end of CoD's central place in the comic. But it's still the place where Marten's threads bunch most thickly, so I expect we'll be dropping in again.

cabbagehut:
On the topic of apologies, one can apologize without actually having done anything "wrong" or "bad".  In those cases, it's an, "I'm sorry that my actions hurt you," sort of thing that can smooth over hurt feelings.  Like, if your phone dies and you miss a text message from a friend, you might say something like, "I'm sorry that I missed your message," to acknowledge that the person might have been upset that it seemed that you were ignoring them or that they were inconvenienced.  I do this often.  It's not because I think I've screwed up so badly that everyone hates me or anything, but because acknowledging other people's feelings (even if I'm justified) helps keep friendships together and helps us see each other's points of view.

I think that's more of the apology style that might smooth things over between Faye and Dora.  Whether or not that's a meaningful thing to either of them, I'm not sure.

pwhodges:
Alternatively to CoD fading into the background, it could remain a focus at times with the return of some loved but missed characters - Raven in particular, but also Penny and the near-mythical Sara.
