Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT 2912 to 2916 (9-13 March 2015)
Energia:
I presume the perspective in Friday's cartoon was from the counter looking out to the street. To me I suddenly saw CoD like a branch of Subway where people queue for takeaway, with only a couple of uncomfortable places to sit. My opinion of Dora's ability to run her business while keeping in with her friends is boosted by this comic. I'd always pictured the place as the café in Friends, or like one of the old bookshops with sofas and coffee. Looking back though this is my own mistake, Jeph never shows the cast huddled over a mug, taking up floor space, putting the world to rights. Dora manages to keep people including her friends coming in to pay proper money to carry away paper containers of hot brown water and sugary bread. I like her more and more (especially as she gave free basement space to Faye AND spiders!)
Rghfrgl:
Faye welds in the library basement. Drama unfolds between her and Claire when she accidentally burns down the place.
Incidentally, Tai escapes the fire just in the nick of time, not having noticed the fire immediately because she's used to being surrounded by smoke.

Er, the counter's right there in the picture on the right (as drawn). There's a crude layout map in the wiki:
The hedge (which has a name which I can't remember) is missing though, and the proportions are off.

I'm really, really late but haven't really had the time to read/think about the comic 'till now.
a) I like the perspective! It's a first, and finally I have an image in my head how the CoD looks like, not just the places to sit or the counter or the window.
b) I agree with several posters who mentioned that they didn't like the overcaptioning.. It would have been fine without.
c) I like the feel of it. Faye's leaving the place, not angry this time, but forever. It feels like an end, but more like a beginning - her art and skills can open doors for her that she didn't even notice while working at the CoD.
d) Dora/Faye reconciliation: well, again, I hope it's not too soon. Faye at least has things to apologise for, and I think Dora too (not for firing Faye -not starting that discussion again - , but for how she did it). I hope Faye leaves the CoD behind - she didn't deserve to be fired like this. She's been a valuable, motivated employee for the longest time and didn't deserve to be tossed aside like trash. I hope she finds a place where her prickly personality isn't an issue (because she works alone or with people who give as good as they get) and where her skills are valued.

Thanks for that - we'd call that a mud-map in Australia; enough to let you find your way around. I've enjoyed the comic for a year now, and I've only just discovered this social side to it.
