I had to go back and re-read the past weeks worth of comics because I couldn’t remember when Dora appeared at the station. It was a bit of a surprise to have her show up out of nowhere and get $4.6 million for some unremembered insult. Of course, it’s not Dora, just her doppelganger. ---

You feel Dora and Lt Potter look alike? To me, they appear no more similar than any two characters drawn by the same artist would be. ---

Same - they don’t have the same body-type, the same face-shape, or same hair. ---

I thought more so after Lt. Potter took off the hat. Their body types don’t really look all that different to me, though Dora’s a bit skinnier. ---

I’m with **Little Nemo** - there are apparently a few “standard” body/facial types in QC (though Jeph keeps experimenting with them), and Lt. Potter did not trigger any particular Dora signals. Then again, many followers of the strip _do_ seem eager to tag every dark-haired female that’s introduced as some sort of Alt-Dora. ---

Their noses and chin lines are dissimilar. And Potter seems short and buxom, not as much as Faye or Marigold but she’s definitely not tall and thin like Dora. ---

I think it’s the sleeveless t-shirt. Though upon some basic research, Dora doesn’t actually seem to wear them that often. Though I remembered her wearing them often, so that still counts. More likely, the coloring. – Though, I don’t see a big resemblance resemblance either. ---

I did enjoy Lt. Potter’s hair’s reactions to the apology… ---

Huh, Friday’s comic is a weird cliff-hanger to end the week. I’m betting the head of security knows Marigold somehow. Perhaps a WOW player with a grudge, like that tall black “Alliance Scum” dude. Strange also how that soldier looked exactly like Dora, except in every important detail. :rolleyes: ---

When Marten, Marigold, and Hanners return to Earth, she’s with them on the shuttle flight. She gets to talking with Marten, they flirt a bit based off the picture Station flashed (which was a damn good picture, girl’s got legs), and since Potter’s loaded now she decides to move to Marten’s town and Marten winds up being her boytoy. ---

I wanted to share the fact that I got both Winslow and Pintsize plushies! [See?](http://s494.photobucket.com/albums/rr306/starsandballs/?action=view¤t=Picture0069.jpg) They’re both very cute, but Pintsize’s limbs and head are just barely attached to his torso. It feels like they’re going to fall off at any time.
