Neko_Ali:
As a woman with the sides of my head clipped close like that.. I can say I like the look. :) I've always thought it looked yummy, and it frustrates me to no end when I hear guys going 'Well I don't like it. Women should have long hair.' or something to that effect. It's like uh.. hello? You aren't required to like it. We didn't do it for you, we did it because we like the way it looks. I mean, I don't mind it when people express an opinion. But you know... institutionalized sexism. Most of the time I hear it, it's either presented as an accusation, or a value judgement on the person.

Also Tai.. the reason you can show up high as balls and the work gets done is you have people there who take up your slack. That's not delegation, that's your workers covering for you. Dora doesn't really have that. Penelope barely seems like she wants to be there most of the time. Cossette is a walking disaster area. If she were left in charge the fire trucks would probably be rolling before Dora got halfway to her car. I don't even know if Raven still works there but.. Yeah, Raven. Hanners would probably be overwhelmed and have an anxiety attack, or go into full Overlord mode. The only one who might make a good assistant manager is probably Dale. He's hard working, level headed and usually pretty difficult to fluster. But he's also probably still part time with other jobs he has to schedule around, and he's the New Guy. Going from register money to assistant manager that fast would probably not go over well with Penny.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 01 Dec 2015, 06:23 ---When she first started appearing, Tai had a noticeable body image problem and she bound her breasts to look 'boyish', mostly due to bullying she suffered at high school. She stopped doing that after she started trying to advertise herself to Dora and has never gone back.

Does anyone have a comic source of this? I can't remember Tai mentioning high school other than in the date with Dora.
I think that even if she was bullied, it's unfair to put her choice of expression to being mostly or entirely to do with pleasing other people. She's expressed herself that she simply finds it fun.


--- Quote from: Nepiophage on 01 Dec 2015, 06:19 ---Tai is definitely more buxom of late.  When she first appeared she was so skinny I thought she was a boy.

--- End quote ---

Tai said she liked experimenting with androgyny and intentionally binded her breasts down sometimes. In the strip before the one linked she mentions "passing as a boy" so she'd probably take that as a compliment. Also it's important to point out that "boyish" and "androgyny" are not the same and are not necessarily exclusive.

Kugai:
I think Tai is more comfortable in her skin these days.  Being with Dora is the kind of stablising influence on her life that she needed from how she was when she first came onto the scene.

Tai's also a fit for Dora IMHO.  I loved it when she was with Marten, but I don't really think it could have lasted.  Marten's a great guy, but he's kind of a doormat sometimes and Dora being Dora could easily run roughshod over the lovable guy.  Tai's more capable of telling Dora to 'Get over hereslf' better than I think Marten could be.

I'm still looking forward to when Dora and Faye finally talk to each other.  I suspect it will be a while before that happens, but I hope that Jeph has it planned for those two to finally have 'The Talk' they need.

--- Quote from: neurocase on 01 Dec 2015, 02:46 ---I really wish I was capable of finding Tai even moderately tolerable or likable as a character.

--- End quote ---

I find her terribly self-centred and utterly unengaging. Ship her off to Mandyville and I doubt I'd care.

Gladstone:
I would be much happier about seeing Tai & Dora if this wasn't the...third? fourth? time in a row that Tai has had to gently berate Dora for being too serious/stubborn/etc. about something.  Let me guess, they'll spend the rest of the week arguing, then one or the other will get advice from Marten, then they'll have great make-up sex, and we won't see them together again for a few hundred strips, when Tai will have to gently berate Dora about something again.  I realize the rule of QC relationships is "If you don't see 'em, they're doing okay," but still, this Tai-and-Dora-argue-about-Dora's-life shtick is getting kinda old.
