Since it hasn't been mentioned in the strip, I'm guessing that Pintsize was just turned off, and will be back to normal the next time we see him.

Warning - while you were typing a new Anthro-PC has been turned off. You may wish to review your post.

BenRG:
@Oilman,

Your problem is that you focus on the overt and miss the subtle. Tai has been fantastic at encouraging Marten to get out of his comfort zone. She is probably one of, if not the most mature character. The fact that the library is so well run that the Trustees are overlooking her... er... eccentricities and the fact she isn't even a student anymore tells you a lot about her professional qualities.

If it's anything like Australia, if they really found it unacceptable, they wouldn't happily lap up the cheap goods and services that near-abusive employment of immigrants delivers to them. "They're stealing our jobs!", they say. Sure, like they'd want to work those hours, in those conditions, for that pay, but they're happy enough to consume the end product. Pardon me while I go and find a bucket.

Poor Dora. Nobody ever said that doing the right thing would make you happy.

I don't know if Dora did the "right" thing, just the necessary one.  It's still rather painful to see, all around.

Unfortunately the UK isn't Australia. The Trades Union movement badly overplayed their hand in the 1970s and 1980s and the political outcome was a fight to the finish which left them prostrate, and the economy on the path to ruin.

Are you seriously suggesting Australia has no problems with immigration ?
