Hanners and Faye have interacted a lot, and I would assume Hanners considers Faye a close friend. Marigold, Marten, and Momo are her other close friends (and Winslow is of course her companion).
It is probably not good to let Hanners act as Dora's messenger, but as Marten was not there, I guess Dora should not be critisized much for this. But Dora should have told Hanners to take a vacation, so she can take care of Faye. Dora probably has problems with the CoD work schedule now that Faye is fired, but as Hanners has not a full time job, and Dale is happy for extra work, this is probably solvable, at least if Dora steps in with extra hours herself.

There are certainly plenty of people who say we do. It invariably turns out that they only have problems with immigrants who are not white; ones like me and my family. They are not my friends.

Yeah, all those British convicts showed up and ruined the whole place.

They were lucky that they only got the convicts. The US was stuck with the Puritans.

Clearly offtopic for a moment: Australia has some serious immigration issues, what with the serious breaches of the UN Declaration of Human Rights, the Covenant of Civil and Political Rights and the Covenant on the Social, Economic and Cultural Rights, not to mention breaching the UN Refugee Convention and the UN Rights of the Child. All of which Australia are signed and ratified, which means that the Australian Government is legally required to adhere to those standards of the maintenance of human rights by international law. The current policy of offshore mandatory detention for refugees (including children) arriving by boat, and then sticking them on Temporary Protection Visas (TPV) after their asylum claim is processed is awful, because on a TPV, a refugee can't seek work for two years and are only eligible for social security benefits up to the equivalent of 80% of what Australian citizens receive on unemployment benefits. So your average TVP recipient gets $206 per week to subsist on.
On topic: It seems to me that Dora did the best thing for Faye that she could. How long can you enable an alcoholic for? Until they seriously hurt themselves or someone else? Faye needs some serious help to get her drinking (and her impulse control) sorted out. I'm really enjoying this storyline. I can't wait to see how it pans out. Maybe Angus will come back?

Marten was a good-hearted, under-achieving doormat on day one and still appears to be one

I don't know what comic you're reading, Oilman, but it isn't the same one as me. I think that your essential negativity and your subconscious urge to disapprove of the strip is contaminating and warping your perception of the characters.
