Nice. Probably didn't need all the "do you notice something different about Faye's voice?" teasers, but it's a very legitimate point that she had been speaking in contractions previously. This obviously was more jarring for you than I found it.
Dora's cat is Miéville, by the way.

New week, new analysis on Questionable Content.

Let me know what you think - particularly this week. Am I being too pedantic about Faye's character?
Is it cold in here?:
If you're overanalyzing, that's what we're here to do. Pedantize away!

You seem to have misinterpreted #123. Marten didn't ask for Steve's help in regard to a date; Steve asked for Marten's help in selecting music for Steve's date.
Apart from that, it seemed pretty good. With regard to Faye's apology in #124, it felt to me that to an extent she surprised herself with her latest outbreak of violence against Marten, and I could see that prompting an immediate apology and attempt at explanation - as we know, Faye tends to charge straight into situations without thinking them through, so while this certainly is a bit contrived, some of what you read as contrivance I see as being consistent with Faye's character. It might have worked better with a beat panel in between the initial apology and the more general one.
For the time frame of Dora's goth phase, I think that Jeph is actually trying to present this as a genuine identity crisis for Dora - but it's also likely one that's been a long time building up. She's probably been becoming increasingly disenchanted with it for the last couple of years, and given that Raven complains that she's missed fifteen or so meetings, it looks like she's already subconsciously let it go quite some time in the past. I think we're seeing more the conscious realisation of a process that's already happened. In many ways that's what an identity crisis is: the realisation that the slow incremental changes we all experience every day have added up into something big while you weren't looking, and that something you thought was part of you really isn't any more.
