--- Quote from: Dora in QC 2778, Panel 4 ---She's also the one place in my life WITHOUT crazy drama right now.
--- End quote ---
I'm genuinely confused... I guess I don't remember enough storylines, (or maybe it's the compressed timelines vs real life) to know what all the drama is that Dora's referring to.
* She hired Dale and CoD seems to be doing ok(?).
* This Sven thing kinda came out of nowhere, but sure, for her it's a thing.
Anyone wanna help me remember what else is going on that fits in the "my life is filled with crazy drama" category?

Dora's life consists of Her home and psycho cat, her circle of friends, her family both of which are involved in the drama bomb. Her work, which is where the drama bomb was dropped and where her friends work. And Tai. So yeah, in one fell swoop Sven hit her with a lot of crazy drama. Remember that her issues come, indirectly or directly, from growing up with Sven and are bad enough to ruin her relationships and need to seek therapy. Whether it's fair or reasonable, she is seeing Sven as the #1 source of her problems. So it's not all that surprising that she wants to distance herself from what she sees as the source of her pain.
I don't think that's going to work out the way she wants it to. But she's often shown that she is her own worst enemy. And that she rarely acknowledges that fact.

I imagine that because Dora is self employed and a small business owner, a lot of the time she's not at work, she's still working - taxes, employee wages, insurance for the staff and business, ordering and sorting supplies, doing the books, advertising, generally keeping the business afloat. It's previously been shown that running CoD can be somewhat stressful for Dora (like the time she thought she has in the hole but turns out she just did the maths wrong).
The Sven thing didn't really come out of nowhere, as it's been said several times throughout the comic that Dora felt inferior to Sven and she does have some issues with him, given that during one of her first therapy sessions she spent 45 minutes talking about Sven. There's also the realisation that despite every success he's had, Dora is certain that deep down he hates himself. Which might have a negative effect on his relationship with friends and family.

Hey all, I'm new here, just registered to say this:
Am I crazy or does Dora take everything Sven does to other people weirdly personally?
I mean, I know Dora is supposed to be kind of a controlling person, but for this entire story-arc she's acting as if Sven's behavior is somehow directed at her. Faye pretty much swatted him aside like a normal person and dealt with her feelings in an evening, meanwhile Dora seems insistent on turning this into a drama bomb with herself at the center.

You are not crazy to think that.
You may be slightly crazy for hanging out with us, though ;)
Welcome, read the rules and enjoy your stay :)
