I liked the birthday present that the robots gave Hanners. Although one of them needs to be spanked. ---

Surprisingly risque dialog earlier – Faye’s comments to Penny: “Yeah, I had it in me alright” ---

Okay, seriously…where does Dora get off? Revenge? Come on, I know she has issues with her brother/Faye, but it’s not like Sven is some babe in the woods. She needs to get over herself. ---

She needs to get over herself. [/QUOTE] She’s been enormously insecure about her position with Marten vis a vis Faye for months. She _knows_ that Sven is a manslut. She also knows that Faye has basically hated Sven since she met him. I can’t completely blame her for thinking Faye did it on purpose for some reason other than because she wanted Sven. That doesn’t mean I think it’s the best approach to take on her part… ---

I like Penny munching popcorn and watching the drama. Sweet. ---

There could also be the thought that Dora wants Sven to stay clear of her friends. Of course, Marten did pine for Faye for a long time, then in a short time after he hooks up with Dora, Faye hops in bed with Sven. I can’t blame Dora, or Marten for thinking it might have something to do with them, even if it doesn’t. Well, I don’t think so anyway. Who knows how Faye’s mind works. Penny with the popcorn was awsome. ---

I think it might be getting to be time for Dora’s flashback. We’ve had one for Marten, one for Faye. Now we need to see why Dora is so uptight and insecure about relationships. I think that she got betrayed by a friend/lover as a younger girl and her brother was involved. ---

Well, Dora is portrayed as Bi, so maybe Sven stole her girlfriend? ---

So, Marten’s all cool about things. Wonder if he’ll be able to calm Dora down? ---

Because it’s vaguely weird to know about your brother’s sex life/have it involve your friends? Honestly, I think Dora needs to get over herself–it’s not about her all the time. ---

[QUOTE=squeegee] Found it: [Jeph Jacques](http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=337) [/QUOTE] I bow to your mastery of the QC archive. Interesting that her friend in high school stopped talking to Dora after Sven hit on her, but a full year before they started their own study group for Biology. Kinda wonder if a lot of girls used to pretend to be Dora’s friend as an excuse to be near Sven. ---

And Faye didn’t exactly get “seduced” into this. I dunno, I just think Dora has mad issues. Not that Faye doesn’t…but you know. ---

Someone on the QC forums came up with [this one](http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=690), if Faye wants to really hurl shit back at Dora: > [@Dora Bianchi](#): > > See, [Sven] needs to date someone like you who’ll beat some sense into him. OK, so Faye needs to push her boundaries – check. Sven needs someone like Faye to keep him honest – Mission Accomplished. Take that, Dora. ---

[QUOTE=StephDale] Do you think these web based comics will ever put the print comic industry out of business? The nostalgia of having first edition comics is dying with the older generations. We are all web based these days. [/QUOTE] Newspaper comic “strips”, perhaps, but not comic books. There’s something about holding the comic book in you hand and turning the pages that the Web can’t replace. (Didn’t Captain Picard say something along those lines when somebody asked why he liked to read old paper books?)
