WCDT: 2520-2524 (August 26-30, 2013) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
Mad Cat:
That middle one's Cosette? She has shrunk.
Boradis:
I'm hardly a fan of Faye as she reminds me too much of some people I've known. In my experience someone with a gruff-but-jovial demeanor usually evolves into a petty asshole once they've gotten enough power-ups. So yeah, I'm comparing Faye to a bitch-type Pokemon.
Until now Faye's mean-spiritedness (and let's be fair, she enjoys making people feel like shit) has been limited by her being on an even playing field with those around her. And maybe she's nice to the kid who comes around, but that's just been playing. But put someone like Faye in charge and add some pressure? I wouldn't want to work for her. Imagine what it would be like to work for someone who's that caustic and snide when you can't snark back? And it doesn't matter how casual the workplace might be, it's never a good idea to snark at a supervisor. Even if it doesn't cause trouble, you'll never know for sure and always worry.
And to those who think they're joking, I dunno. Granted it is a comic strip, but that didn't look like a funny panel to me. It looked like two people calmly making a dead serious decision, two innocents being shocked by it (Hanners I can understand, but how out of touch must Dora be to not even expect this reaction?) and Faye resentfully having her concerns confirmed.
This feels like something plot heavy rather than jokey.
FuryoftheStars:
It could very well be. But, yeah, it is a comic, so... it could go either way. And also being a comic, Faye doesn't have to turn out for the worse from it. Too bad RL wasn't the same way, right?
Mr_Rose:
Er Faye "enjoys making people feel like shit" now?
Since when?
No, seriously, what?
Thrudd:
Remember, this IS "Coffee of Doom" where people come for the abuse and stay for the really good coffee. 8-)
Also, we love our customers, even when we encourage them leave. :-D
These people have been working at CoD how long? Of course the snark will be there. It's in the job description.
Just because they love her doesn't mean they won't yank her chain.
If things reveal themselves as I think they will, I predict they will do the equivalent of "just kidding", "Cheeze, you've known us how long?"
all followed by a "It's about friggin time" and "now where are our hatssss?" as well as "Trozz" or would it be more of a "Poit" moment?
Now watch as we get Yelling Bird for the next few strips, just to give us all a wedgie.
