TinPenguin:
She's done it before. She got her mum to close down a restaurant that accidentally gave Marten food poisoning.
In general, though, it's more like she recognises that using her parent's influence for evil is always there as an option, a last resort. That's if murdering her friends doesn't work out.

am i the only one sick to freaking death of doras bratty attitude. its like wah my brother has it easy because of natural talent. wah my friends want to bone him wah. honestly i think literally everybody else in the comic (including faye (even with her recent troubles)) has outgrown or is shortly going to out grow her
BenRG:
FWIW, I'm expecting Dora to do something stupid tomorrow. She'll either send Hanners home for the day for insubordination or the two will have an argument in which Dora will come across as paranoid and terrified of the rest of the world. She might even close the shop early and retreat home to sulk.
I've been expecting Dora to snap for some time (since she fired Faye, actually). The only question as yet unanswered is whether she'll attack or run.
The best thing to happen to her would be to run into Faye coming home from the URFL* and the two to finally have that conversation in which they apologise to each other and Faye tells Dora just how alike they are in so very many ways.

Not completely, but then Sven is my least favourite character in the comic.

For what does Dora have to apologise to Faye? For not enabling her alcoholism? For not letting her endanger Dora's business*? For being upset with Faye lying to her to cover up her drunkenness? For behaving like Faye's boss?

And of course "Grrr! He hits on my friend and employee, on my business premises*, during the working day, in an extremely creepy, entitled, and inappropriate manner." That, after all, is what Dora means when she says that Sven burned the bridges with her. To describe her view as a "delusion", an observer presumably believes that it did not happen, or that his behaviour was acceptable, or that he has some sort of right to be judged indulgently by his sister regardless of how he behaves. And in-universe, apparently even Sven does not believe that.
--- Quote from: swapna on 27 Jul 2015, 23:56 ---On the other - Dora has to fix her problems alone, especially her massive pride and impulsive explosions.
--- End quote ---
Pride is the name we give to that, in other people, which we call self-respect in ourselves. Naturally it is regarded as a sin.
*It has always been a thread in QC that Dora's business is very important to her. I wonder whether, if Jim fired an employee for drunkenness, he would have attracted the same hate that Dora seems to. Because, you know, business is for men; a woman who acts like a boss is a bitch.
