Zipperstuck:
Panel 3 Dora pretty much summed up how all feminists work.
Border Reiver:
They have a cave troll.

Thank you Boromir
Is it cold in here?:
So, is this consistent with Pennelope's characterization?
We know she's capable of self-discipline, as shown by her commitment to fitness.
Is it just the idea of subservience that's unpalatable to her?
EDIT: Would it be better storytelling or worse if one or more characters pulled themselves out of their ruts? On the one hand it's easier to see the humor in dysfunctional people and somebody has to work in the coffee shop. On the other hand characters facing challenges and having victories and defeats offer a lot more storytelling opportunities (vide Hannelore!), and even though those tend toward drama there should be plenty of humor involved. Marten's band could be as funny as Spinal Tap. Pennelope in an office environment could be like Dilbert, but funny.
Could Pennelope be a freelance editor? That job does exist.
Is Dora in a rut herself? She's turned down an offer to finance a CoD expansion, after all.
Carl-E:
Penelope's probably just compartmentalizing. The exercise has both long and short term payoffs, but she was perfectly happy willing to keep her old job at the bookstore with the grabass boss. She had to be pressganged into working at CoD! Although she came back willingly the next day...
And she's able to give good advice and hand out the tough love for the foibles of others (Wil), but can't seem to follow her own advice. Which isn't all that unusual, really.
