Marten's super passiveness grates on me, especially since we have seen Faye start to deal with her own issues. And while I agree with you that Marten didn't work enough at his relationship with Dora, I think she was equally to blame for the eventual falling apart. Marten was too passive and Dora has major trust issues that she didn't start to deal with until after they broke up. They both deserve better for each other, but they also both need to get their shit together. Some therapy for Marten would be great, I'd like to see that happening.

Everyone in the comic is a hot hipster mess but dammit I can't quit it. I love Hanners hardcore.

Yeah, it's not that there was no blame to be placed on Dora's shoulders, it's that EVERYONE* (characters and fans alike) seemed to blame Dora completely for the breakup, when it was at least as much Marten's fault.

*Except Marten's mom.

I think it's because Dora's issues tend to be more visible and more dramatic; Marten's by comparison could and probably are seen as part of his personality by his friends. What's more, unfortunately, if you're apologetic for something or insist to people that something's your fault, they tend to accept it, often friends and family included. And while Dora has been owning up to her issues, Marten's efforts have distancing himself from the relationship as much as possible.

With Faye though, I can buy that she'd believe it was more Dora's issues than Marten's. She's not only been privy to some of their fights but actually been part of a couple of them, including one where Dora's suggested she's going to fire her. Whatever shit she knows Marten's capable of pulling, that's bound to come to mind when she hears they're having a bad fight.

I also think Faye is more defensive/protective over Marten due to all their history together. Plus Dora's issues are more out in the open while Marten's aren't.

I just want some acknowledgement from Jeph that Marten has some major fucking issues too.
Really sick of his whiny bullshit being portrayed as completely justified and not a problem, or at least, not a large scale problem.

Thhiiiiis. And Marigold. My god, Marigold is me from four years ago. It's like looking into a time-travel mirror + glasses and shorter hair.

I also like Faye and Angus, so there is that.

But really, QC just has great characters that are well developed and the art is pretty good (aka unique and not as bad as the vast majority of comics on the internet). And I at least get giggle-snorts out of it half the time. *shrugs*

I have my Marigold moments, and I have had that hair for sure XD

Faye and Angus are adorable and their relationship is making me so very happy. And I like how Jeph's art is evolving and how even he admits when he isn't at his best.
