It's possible that Jeph wanted her accent to show but preferred to stop short of making her sound like a bumpkin. Nothing against bumpkins, of course.

It's amazing to discover the new standard of bumpkinry—terminal neither! I informed a few folks of this immediately, who were ecstatic:
Earl Burrell: "Ain't nobody ever tole me that. Hell, if I'da knowed that there word's the pro'lem, I could'a been talkin' like them goddam city-slickers for years."
You folks had best watch out for Earl—he's on to you now, and you'll never hear him coming, because he'll sound just like you. And yes, he is armed.
Seriously, when I run that speech of Faye's through my head, I hear 'neither' at the end, not 'either.' And no, I don't speak like that on a regular basis, even when I'm drunk (regrettably seldom, these days). But the 'could'na' indicates Faye probably does. If, of course, she were real.
Tobimaro:
Now that is the Faye that we have come to love. Now I'm wondering if she is going to get Dora an appointment with her shrink? :wink:
jwhouk:
No, she doesn't want to go see Dr. Corrine. That was established long ago.
"Oh, NOW I get it. You're all driving each other insane!"
(Irony: that strip came after Sven and Faye broke up.)
(DOUBLE Irony: it came about a week before Angus reappeared in the strip.)
LeeC:
sven to the rescue?
Is it cold in here?:
If he were less self-absorbed he might have some good insights into Dora.
