In any case, a professional counsellor will not take on someone they know.

Fixed that. Okay, I completely overhauled it.
And yes, probably not a universal truth. But as I understand it, a good therapist should be objective, and that does not seem likely to be something a mother can really be when considering her child. Thus, it's pretty clear to me that if actual therapy is required, things will not go well.

ertainly fear is at the root of pretty much all insecurities, but don't forget that the topic of this is the poll... and the poll is only about Dora's first day of therapy. I'm just more of the belief that it'll take more than a day to crack through her walls of denial and get to those fears... which would make the summation of her first day denial.

But hasn't Dora got a history of being thin-skinned to the point of a single cell layer when the right buttons are pushed (Web page, Underpants, Hitting on Marten, etc.)? I guess what it really boils down to is how much self-control she has. Lately, it's seemed to me that's been on a definite ebb. 'Twill be interesting to see.
It's also going to be interesting to see how long before she actually shows up at a therapist's office, since I'll agree Dora's numero-uno, A-#1 at that sort of denial. And, of course, even if she does, there's every chance Jeph won't let us see it, because of any or all of the following:
A) it's not really vital to the plot
B) there're no laughs to be had, and he feels we've had enough of that sort of thing for a while
C) we really want to, and he's decided to apply Brockian Ultra-Cricket audience theory in order to intensify our experience.

Thanks Carl :-)
And thanks to your ability to notice a lack of reflections, (the most important power of any vampire slayer) here's the edited premiere version.
Speech bubbles however remain invisible for inexplicable reasons arising from quantum fluctuations.

How exactly do speech bubbles work in a vacuum?

Same as helmets; there needs to be something to stop the words dissipating.
Heh - bad page change or what?
