I want to change my answer to a Sven and Faye drunk Vegas wedding. It would be interesting to see them both hit rock bottom, and that seems like a reasonable (?) way of doing so.
>inb4 "Faye went to the hospital" Let me say from personal experience that a hospital trip is not always a solid indicator of rock bottom, especially if relapses happen shortly thereafter.
>inb4 "Sven lost family ties" Well we haven't really ever seen Sven have to work for something, and the very idea fails to enter his mind at this point.
>inb4 "You're a sadist" Yes. Yes I am.
BenRG:
The real lesson of today's strip is this: Hannelore's inner reality of the future is a place of sunshine, flowers, rainbows and unicorns. As well as Hanners herself living in a castle and only communicating with her friends with written notes, but I digress... :-P
If nothing else, this strip shows that Hanners' intervention was spontaneous. If it were otherwise, I think that she would have thought of answers to Dora's petty niggling questions!
de_la_Nae:
While I appreciate your points, Akima, and while I also think Ben might be a little half-cocked on that definition of friendship, this does smack of Dora lashing out at the Image of Sven in her head, rather than dealing with the Sven in front of her. Especially going from Doll Reconciliation to Exile.
The funny thing is, while in a more perfect world they wouldn't have come to this, this may be something similar to what they both need, in the mid-term. It's implied that Dora's never went this far before, so perhaps this distance will help her exorcise the Image that hangs over her fear. And as for Sven, well, a few more kicks in the ass to remind him what the stakes of life are might not be the worst medicine he could be prescribed.
It's probably an injustice if this holds forever, if the wound never heals. But for now....eh. Sometimes we open up sores, so they don't seal up with infection.
ohitsjustwill:
I'm finding it hard to understand why Hannelore cares so much about Sven at the moment. I understand her motives are geared more toward Dora's happiness, but Dora's shown no signs she needs Sven back in her life. Therefore, I'm at a complete and utter loss as to why Hannelore wants Dora to start talking to Sven again.
Also, Sven's last appearance made me hate him even more. The man-bun...it's...ugh. I've never met a dude who wore a man-bun who wasn't also a colossal asshole, and oddly enough, the description of my experiences with man-bun-wearers fits Sven to a T.

Ages ago, I had a conversation with somebody working on getting a computer to solve essentially the same problem - moving a very long ladder through a confined area filled with obstacles.
You construct in 3D a representation of all the allowable positions of the ladder - two dimensions for position and a third for angle. You can then treat this as a 3d maze and solve it for the shortest path through. Assuming there is a connected path and you can do it. If not you just have to saw the ladder in half.
Well I found it interesting. Thought I'd share.
