This.

The real stuff is hidden in a folder labelled 'tax records 2004-2006'

--- End quote ---
The person who are their own boss, obviously.

Just because she's capable of leaving whenever she wishes doesn't mean she should. More so, seeing as she is a "Boss" she has quite a bit of responsibilities to not only her employees, but also to her customers, to run a business, not show up and leave just to look at a laptop which she could've done when she got done with her shift.

But Dora is not all to blame for this. Faye is at fault as well. I don't think she's reminded Dora of the potential consequences of her actions http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=459


edit: Well....that could've gone better....

Exar_Kun:
Yeah, I'm going to jump into the "Dora was just looking to start something" side of the ring here. You could basically tell thats what was happening by her facial expressions through the entire strip.

He told her he didnt want to, and she openly went for it, so it raised his fears and he had to check.

At no point did he want to test Dora.

Well, telling me I'm wrong is one of the great tactics of debate, I suppose, but I'll respectfully disagree. I specifically disagree with your characterization of Martin's actions, there is no 'raising of fears' because he knew precisely what was going to happen as soon as she left after that discussion. By following her, he clearly was expecting to catch her in the act. What other possibility would you suggest?

When I say he was testing her, I will point out that he could have avoided all of this by saying it was perfectly vanilla, which it is, and which would have resulted in Dora ceasing to ask questions. Just before this, he was willing to talk about intensely personal, highly sexual subjects with no hangups whatsoever. Blithely dodging the question would have been perfectly fitting with everything we've seen of Martin's character- it's this latest business that is the aberration, and thus I suspect that it is artificial on Martin's part. I will not claim this process is necessarily conscious, though.
