No, we have seen her back at the apartment once since the break-up, which was during the space arc. It is the first time we've seen her there at the same time as Marten, though.

Are you sure?  I can only remember this, which is in CoD.

I'm a bit late, but after the WHAT IS STEAMPUNK? cartoon, it finally dawned on me that no one has made any
"Farmer's daughter" jokes about or to Marigold.

She'd probably do something to them.

  • What's disease? Where?

Red Scarf? (Insert confused American look here:  :? )
At the age of six, like pretty much every schoolchild in China, I was inducted into the Young Pioneers (AKA the 红领巾 or "Red Scarves") by having a red scarf tied round my neck by the leader of my detachment. I was implying that I was coming on like a doctrinaire little commie: "Vigorously crush the parasite landlord class!"...  :roll:

I Googled the term and almost got the context.

Soooo--that's it? Ex-gf just comes on over, collapses on the couch in a cupcake coma, and Marten is completely blase about it?

Don't get me wrong: I like Dora, and I like the depiction of Dora and Faye's friendship; but the utter absence of *any* friction between Marten and Dora seems just a little bit off.

Its capable of happening if both people have moved on well enough. Especially if the reasoning for the breakup wasn't entirely as harsh as some worse situations.

Getting back to its roots, apparently. Used to be Faye and Marten would exchange the snarky last lines in the past.

Oh and someone alert the media! QC has turned into a SOAP! °O
Hasn't it always been a SOAP? Granted in webcomics they usually refer to them as "slice of life" comics. But really, there are plenty of over the top elements to QC that it has qualified as a Soap Opera for most of its run. About the only thing it is missing is miscellaneous backstabbing and baby kidnappings.

Hmm, are you sure that Pintsize doesn't do that during his absence?  Speaking of which, what happened to Pintsize?

  • The distilled essence of Mr. James Beam himself.

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
       "You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?" 
        But answer came there none -
Ad this was scarcely odd, because
        they'd eaten every one.

Meh, I'd have done the exact same thing (in either Faye, Dora or Marten's shoes).
