The alpha-bitch*, having been disrespected by one of the weaker members of the pack, must reassert her dominance in order to save face and teach the whelp who's boss.
Or maybe Hannelore will ground her for a week this time.
*I can't find the comic where Dora calls Faye the alpha-bitch, sorry
WAYF:
Wow. :-o
I don't know.
For some reason, Marigold's reaction is so completely not ok with me that I don't feel like commenting on the comic again until at least next Tuesday.
I'm not even really angry, I'm just ... disheartened.
Edit: Maybe it's because Faye got the broken glasses from being punched in the face, and I thought Marigold might be able to better sympathize...

I'd give Marigold a bit more credit than you seem to have, basically.

You could be right. :) I guess the reactions of the other characters made me not consider that as an option.
I think I've just seen so many people I know become that kind of person that I may have projected that onto what may be more like an off-moment for her. Plus, Jeph has said that there are times when the jokes are more so him having fun than the characters being plain mean or anything else negative we could interpret them as.
I still feel like she's taking a bad turn here, because as I've heard, "There is truth in jest." Even if it's meant as a joke, it still somehow reflects some part of the person's inner thoughts on something.
We'll just have to wait until the next comic to see if there are any worse reactions. Here's hoping it goes better than I have the bad feeling it will. Sometimes, it's good to be proven wrong.

He isn't even a real turkey.

Aw. I just looked that up and now I'm all disappointed. My dad told me that story as a child, but he presented it as something that had
happened in a live news broadcast. Until just now I totally thought some reporter had legitimately dropped a whole bunch of turkeys from a helicopter on live television thinking they could fly, and then had to make a public apology.

Supposedly, the WKRP turkey episode is (loosely) based on something that really happened.
EDITED to fix botched quoting brackets.

Life stranger than fiction. Which is why I find QC so fascinating. Most of the time it seems even stranger.
