Title: Who doesn't love Dora?
Post by: Faryshta on 17 Mar 2009, 19:10
Definitive my kind. A total liberal, metalhead with homicide tendencies... jejejeje if I could find someone so much like me as Dora... anyway I scared my comrades at work with today lol.

To be honest this is the kind of humor makes me love QC, dark and cold humor, also I liked the days where Jeph used some cultural/intelectual reference as Mom Jabbar or the Schrodinger joke. Jeph if you read this I would like to sincerely ask why did you changed your punch lines to something less painfull? Just wondering.

I must be missing the strips that have cold and dark humor because I don't wear enough black or something.

she did pull out a sword on the girl who asked marten out.

Dora is great, no doubt. Is there any character we dont love, though?

Me.  In a cast this size, there's always gonna be one or two characters that I just don't care for or think are worth their screentime, and for me, for this strip, it's Dora.

I like Dora, but...I can't love her. I'm still not over the loss of Dromiceiomimus.

Also, spell check says that "Dromiceiomimus" is my mis-spelling of "Palindromic"

The Man likes his hair military short. I like his hair long enough to run my fingers through and grip. He keeps his hair short because it looks more professional, is easier to maintain and he just likes it better. Sucks for me, but oh well, it's his hair.

Meanwhile I've got hair down to my ass 'cause I know that's how he likes it best. Go figure!  :roll:

Dora's my fave character.
She's headstrong, kind, and knows what she wants, although she takes thing out of proportion a lot, but she seems to be the most human of the cast

Post by: emmaleigh on 21 Mar 2009, 11:11
I will throw my lot in with the people who think Dora's OK, but not awesome. I liked her a ton more when she was in her apartment talking out her insecurities with her kitty cat. I could relate to her a lot more then, haha. I want to see more cat action in QC. Not in the Rule 34 way either.

She seemed to be there primarily to shock people: "Would you like a cup of coffee or a quick fuck on the counter?"; Flashing her boobs; etc.  Now that she's playing The Girlfriend, she's not so interesting.

yeah well she doesnt flirt with marten anymore because why would she. she still does the shocker evey so often it just doesnt happen as much as it used to. In fact, her and faye havent gotten into a catty fight in a while, either.

I believe I sported that cut through most of my high school years. I just don't see The Man going for it.

Dora's my favorite.  She's one of the few really nice characters (Hanners, Marten are the others) and she is completely crazy in a way that produces more haha moments than holy-crap-someone-just-killed-Steve moments (I don't really like Steve).

I get people not liking that they're trying to change Dora, but I don't find anything particularly sexual about the tween Dora. I suggest that if looking at that picture turns someone one on, there maybe something skewed with that individual rather than the image.

Lyndsay Lohan was ok until she started with the drinking. Until that point she hadn't done any parts that were particularly sexual in nature. I blame shoddy parenting and money-grubbing people who pander to these kids' every whim for the sake of making a buck.

That would probably be because they were planning on making merch targeted towards tweens who grew up with Dora. They were just trying to extend her saleability to include an older demographic.

Bi-curious hot chick? For it is inconceivable an attractive, femme woman could be genuinely attracted to men and women equally. Oh, and I love how she needs a smackdown for "letting herself go". What are you thinking Dora!  :roll:

Well, so far, she hasn't demonstrated any bisexual behavior yet, nor have I read any strips where she (seriously) identifies herself as one.
The occasional smacking of faye's ass does not count.

So, yeah. Bi-curious.

Yeah, but until she positively identifies herself as bisexual, the more accurate term will be bi-curious.
Being bi-curious doesn't preclude her being genuinely attracted to members of the same sex.

Making out with a DJ at a gay nightclub: #404. DJ was a "her".

Though of course she might have been kidding about that one, grabbing Faye's breasts was fairly blatant (#415).

A while back, and I'm not sure what search terms to use to find it, someone put together a list of all the occasions on which Dora was hitting on Faye. It was a long list.
