Is it cold in here?:

No, probably not, though drinking on the job doesn't seem to bother her. Nor assaulting the customers for that matter. Anyone would think QC was a comic or something... :-D

Hmm. Raven was afraid that Dora would be furious about Faye drinking at work (to my annoyance, I can't find the comic). On the other hand, it's impossible that Dora doesn't know about the Emergency Bourbon and its use.
I suppose you could think QC was a comic. If you didn't have an AnthroPC at home and a weather control dome over your town, it would seem somewhat unrealistic :-)
Did anyone else think Dora and Tai are acting more like high schoolers than the sexually experienced adults they are? That felt off to me. On the other hand it was funny and sweet, which is what matters.

C'mon. It's not like they're stealing muffins from the baked goods case.

Oh my god, cutest Dora and Tai ever. I wonder how long Jeph is gonna keep us all "D'AWWW". Has anyone noticed that when the forum agrees on how the story probably develops, Jeph often pretty much yells "HAHA NOPE" and goes for something different?
Now I've jinxed it, haven't I?

Jeph has stated on a previous occasion that to use a format that preserves the gradients would double the size of the file and hence his bandwidth costs - which may be more than a little significant seeing as how he has a somewhat popular comic!

A *good* JPEG compressor would probably do the trick. (While audio & video codecs are constantly optimized, most apps use basically the same JPEG compressor that's been around since the late 80s, and doesn't really push the format to its limit.)
pwhodges:
Jpeg would lose the sharp lines of the drawing, though, and thus change the whole style of the comic. I think he's published one or two comics as .jpg when the banding was really damaging to the concept of the image (which I'd say it isn't here).
