I liked her better when she was more gothy actually lol

Kugai · « **Reply #106 on:** 07 Oct 2014, 14:30 »

I think what some people are forgetting is that Dora IS a natural Blonde, she only dyes her hair black.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #107 on:** 07 Oct 2014, 16:40 »

Right, the question is should she keep the blonde or dye it away?

BenRG · « **Reply #108 on:** 08 Oct 2014, 07:21 »

It's weird but it never occurred to me that Dora might not have naturally black hair, even after she mentioned her Scandinavian maternal ancestry and we saw her very blonde mother. In any case, a blonde Dora would freak me out. However, I don't think it is my call to make. If Tai thinks it's cute, then it's happening and we all know that.

hedgie · « **Reply #109 on:** 08 Oct 2014, 07:34 »

There was a time-skip at one point in the comic where she grew out her hair a bit, so there was a bunch of blonde with black bits at the ends.

Honkytonk · « **Reply #110 on:** 08 Oct 2014, 07:45 »

Kind of means there was a bit of an oedipal thing going on with Sven's pre-Faye obsession with the blondes. I'm sure this has been mentioned before but I thought it worth re-mentioning.

That's a pretty huge leap to make just off of hair color.

That's the wonderful thing about blond hair - it takes dye much more easily than dark hair, without having to be bleached first.

Past jeanramone was such a shallow tart, who cares what hair colour people choose to have.

The purple hair was an early sign of the Martorapocalypse.

The purple hair was also really cool.

"In a gadda da vida" just sprang to mind, but that was Iron Butterfly, not Deep Purple.

Haha, now I want to hear that. That sounds awesome.

BTW, why on earth did your marching band have twelve tubas? Was it a really large band? Did you have 76 trombones?

Carl-E · « **Reply #122 on:** 20 Oct 2014, 15:52 »

No, only about two dozen trombones. I was first chair of the 3rd trombones... yeah, it was pretty big, about 130 players. More if you count drums.

When I was in high school band, I was the low brass section. No tubas, and I was the only trombone.

Carl-E · « **Reply #125 on:** 20 Oct 2014, 15:54 »

You don't know marching band drummers, do you?

They're sort of a group apart...

Method of Madness · « **Reply #126 on:** 20 Oct 2014, 15:55 »

Yes, I do, I was in marching band. Drummers are very much a part of the band, so why would you give the count but exclude the drummers?

MooskiNet · « **Reply #127 on:** 20 Oct 2014, 16:00 »

It's funny, when I was in high school (84-86) the drummers were sort of their own entity as well, and the snare drummers were a subset of that. I could definitely see the rest of the band not counting them.

Carl-E · « **Reply #128 on:** 20 Oct 2014, 16:02 »

Ours didn't seem to know that we existed most of the time, either. they were a pretty squirrely lot - coming and going, they were good, but just not really part of the group.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #129 on:** 20 Oct 2014, 16:26 »

They were off on their own a bit, sure, but I can't imagine not counting them in the total. That's just insulting.

MooskiNet · « **Reply #130 on:** 20 Oct 2014, 16:43 »

I can understand that feeling, but I think it may be more a matter of 'drums were a unit unto themselves' than 'band doesn't count the drummers.' In fact, most of my memories of pep rallies were the drum folks performing exclusive of the rest of the band. I'm not sure the snare drum guys (it was always guys on snare, though the drum major my senior year was a girl) would have been insulted by not being counted as band members so much as 'Well, yeah. We're drums.'

Not saying it's always that way, but I can see where Carl-E is coming from.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #131 on:** 20 Oct 2014, 16:57 »

Maybe my band was weird, because of the three years I was in it, the "drum major" was just the leader of the band...and was never a drummer.

MooskiNet · « **Reply #132 on:** 20 Oct 2014, 17:03 »

Nah, I don't think that's weird - the drum major was a flute player. I included her because it felt sorta weird saying 'snare drum guys' as though there were no way it could be anything else, so I threw in that the band leader was a girl.

Call it oversensitivity to possible sexism on my part.

Redheads are my kryptonite, so I agree lol However somehow I don't see that color working for her, not with her complexion. I had issues for the longest time (and it was pointed out in-comic) because of how similar Dora and Marten were in overall appearance. I liked it when she had half and half hair, Full blonde? might be interesting to see if she sticks with it. Last time it felt she had made a decision to grow it out and then just overnight dyed it again without ever seeing it thru to the end so she essentially gave up that idea

The drum major for the band at my high school was a girl all four years I was there. I tried out for it my senior year, but I think I lost because the band director didn't want to give up the only trombone player... Either that or the girl who got the position was just better at it than me.

Purple haired Faye looks awesome. Redheaded Dora doesn't look like Faye in that one, though, I guess it's the shape of her face in the earlier one.

Yes, I soon as I colored her hair purple I thought "Hey, that works!" Dora seems to agree with me.

Either just the hair or in contrast to the Blue Girl Group.

If you're hoping for the bird, that's spelled "martin."
And spelling Marten's name that way will get you an admonishment from the sort of person who thinks the missing "a" in "one small step for man" is of paramount importance.
A purple weasel-like creature (a "marten") would be funny, though.

As for the polecat or the Frank Burns archetype, the former has already been done in another thread though the latter is only obvious by its absence. [so far]
