2020-05-13 00:45:43 +0000 UTCIs it just me, or does it look like Bubbles' Chair is looking longingly at Dora here?

2020-05-12 16:22:23 +0000 UTCNow I literally cannot live without that coffee mug. Full-sized.

2020-05-12 16:21:42 +0000 UTCDora's lying about this being the first time she's check out a decorating blog. She's a former goth, Goths are completely obsessed with fashion and decorating, it's just a different style than other, but it's still interior design.
Diana
2020-05-12 15:48:47 +0000 UTCI was expecting Faye to point that out, but I guess that she didn't want to dilute her acknowledgement that Dora got her.

2020-05-12 07:12:14 +0000 UTCI think Jeph is lying about the jelly beans.

2020-05-12 05:00:15 +0000 UTCI really love the way panels 3 & 4 were laid out.
2020-05-12 04:45:10 +0000 UTCI know I just CAN'T be the only one who wants Dora's coffee mug, amirite?
2020-05-12 04:42:16 +0000 UTCThere were comics where she got stones in the back room. Of course, there was also a comic where Martin caught two senior members of the faculty doing it in the copy room. The library is just a strange place.
Thisguy
2020-05-12 04:36:32 +0000 UTCand Dora has hardly murdered anyone lately.
Bagge
2020-05-12 04:14:54 +0000 UTCI mean, whether you come into work stoned or get stoned on the job, both are bad.
BioYuGi
2020-05-12 04:10:44 +0000 UTCTai is in charge of the library on a day-to-day basis. I don't recall her actually taking drugs on the job, but before she came in. Nobody either noticed or cared. And she wasn't closely supervised.

2020-05-12 04:09:51 +0000 UTCWelcome to the real world where "fair" never comes into play.
PixelThis
2020-05-12 04:09:28 +0000 UTCI'm glad someone brought this up, honestly. It always seemed to me that Tai's drug usage was way worse than Faye's alcoholism until the incident that put Faye in the hospital. Tai was frequently coming into work high, and not just on marijuana either, thinking back on the comic where she was seeing Marten as a dragon. Faye got drunk at work once and was appropriately fired for it, but Tai was able to get away with multiple stoned shifts without reprimand, I never thought that was fair.
BioYuGi
2020-05-12 04:04:55 +0000 UTCIs it just me or is Dora the cutest thing ever on this page? I am continually impressed by Jeph's ever evolving art style.

2020-05-12 03:20:09 +0000 UTCJeph, thanks for sharing your experience with us through the fabulous Faye. π
2020-05-12 03:17:46 +0000 UTCI love that. Thank you, Jeph. I stopped drinking, had to. And for quite a while afterwards I was pretty tense about others drinking; it took a while for it to sink in that although I had a problem, maybe you didn't.
Joseph Bonnar
2020-05-12 03:16:22 +0000 UTCI have had a mug of jelly beans like that on more than one occasion. It's quite satisfying.
awgiedawgie
2020-05-12 03:05:07 +0000 UTCI have to do no such thing! It's legal in Washington!
Grace Kieser
2020-05-12 02:43:57 +0000 UTCI think, in this case, "domesticate" means "to make accustomed to the comforts and manners of a domicile".
Diptych
2020-05-12 02:17:41 +0000 UTCAngus, the man she finally fell in love with, moved to the city to take his dream job and she elected to stay behind and break up the relationship rather than take a chance and pull up stakes and move with him. It broke her heart and she started drinking move heavily (she was always a drinker) to "drown her sorrows."
2020-05-12 02:14:42 +0000 UTCCan someone remind me what caused Faye to drink?
Jamal Taylor
2020-05-12 02:03:47 +0000 UTCWhen you think of it, Dora is talking about a step into adulthood. One's residence becomes less of a place where one merely sleeps, eats, and bathes, and starts to become a home. Permanent, as opposed to ad hoc.
Michael Boettger
2020-05-12 02:03:16 +0000 UTCI wanna hug full of jelly beans...but now I'm worried about choking hazards.
Matt
2020-05-12 01:58:13 +0000 UTCgotta weed out those bad habits.

2020-05-12 01:53:45 +0000 UTCI love how she goes from side-eye to compassionate understanding almost immediately.
Hugh Eckert
2020-05-12 01:50:58 +0000 UTCIt's jelly beans
Devin Gates
2020-05-12 01:48:06 +0000 UTCDomestication requires generations of artificial selection, so isn't Dora really *taming* Tai? Sorry, I've been binge-listening to "The Common Descent Podcast"...
Hugh Eckert
2020-05-12 01:47:17 +0000 UTCCaffeinated jellybeans.
Hugh Eckert
2020-05-12 01:45:15 +0000 UTCokay but home decoration is fun
Tamara Macadam
2020-05-12 01:34:47 +0000 UTCGorram, Dora! That's a lot of coffee this late!
Grace Kieser
2020-05-12 01:26:08 +0000 UTCAnd remember, Faye WAS in a serious accident!
Michael Boettger
2020-05-12 01:22:13 +0000 UTCOh, I get that. I was in a car accident and for a year afterwards I braced myself whenever I saw a car approaching a crossroads.
Diptych
2020-05-12 01:19:31 +0000 UTCIn my case, it was driving the drunk idiots home so they wouldn't die.
Bailey Tighe
2020-05-12 01:19:23 +0000 UTCI think because I went to so many funerals during high school where my peers died in a car crash where alcohol was involved, I never developed a taste for alcohol.
