Dora's probably become a little spoiled by living with Sven in his nice upstairs/downstairs apartment. Or maybe she feels like she has to keep up with him. It would certainly fit her sibling rivalry patterns.
As for the debate going on, all the lady said was "you're not a witch or wizard, right?" If Dora wanted to file a discrimination suit, all the real estate lady has to say is "I only said 'witch or wizard', I never said 'are you wiccan?'" She could argue that she just meant to ask if Dora practiced "magic," that doesn't have to mean she subscribes to the wiccan religion. There are people who like to dabble around with spells and stuff without knowing shit about what it means to be truly wiccan. In fact these are probably the the kind of people who did whatever awful thing to the apartment the lady doesn't want to talk about.
And on that note, it wasn't until I came here that I thought of the possibility the woman was trying to change the subject. I thought this was kind of a cliffhanger strip, and her line "Let me show you the kitchen" was her way of beginning to explain what happened, like whatever it was happened in the kitchen.
If this is repeating anything that's been said already, sorry; I'm on my way out the door so a lot of this thread is TL;DR for me right now

And while you can, that doesn't mean you have any chance of having any result of your lawsuit other than being laughed out of lawyer offices repeatedly before representing yourself and being laughed out of the courtroom by the judge. The reason people have this impression that you can sue for anything is because of high profile cases such as the McDonalds Hot Coffee lawsuit. Which, actually had very serious damages, third degree burns, large skin grafts. Severe enough that she ultimately died from complications relating to it. That case was mocked and made fun of in the news, but it was a very real and very serious injury, with very real damages.

She died 14 years later at the age of 92. I doubt the coffee had as much to do with her demise as it was simply old age.

For me the longest drive that I can do in one direction* is 2.5 hrs then i'll either be in the sea or in England, and I live less than 30 mins from the coast. as to visiting friends, do Americans not use the train?

Train? What's that? Sounds fancy.
hahh I keed
But seriously, I've lived in seven different areas of four different states and I've never even seen an above-ground train. They are rare indeed.
Unless a subway counts...does a subway count? I went on one once when I visited a friend on Staten Island. It was such a novelty!

I live around the St. Paul area in Minnesota and I take Amtrak to visit my best friend who lives in Milwaukee, WI. It is about a half hour to an hour longer than by car, but it's comfortable. This happens every few months. Otherwise I take buses/lightrail to school, but I have to get from the 'burbs to a station. I wish there was better public transportation, but for now I am saving up for a car. Which is difficult to do with no job. :psyduck:
As for the comic, I too wondered if Dora was looking at a house/townhouse/condo.
