I mean, they're basically the word of god, albeit a god who changes his mind occasionally and reserves the right to retcon anything. I can't think of any examples, but I'm sure they exist/will one day exist.

--- Quote from: DSL on 27 Jun 2016, 22:46 ---The shop didn't crash-and-burn without her, and Faye can't handle that. I saw this all the time at my old job when retired Key Employees would pop in for a visit and tell us exactly how we'd gone to hell in a handbasket without them around running things. And then I had to remind myself to not be That Guy, myself.
EDIT: Additionally, Hannelore -- Hannelore, one of the kids! -- stood up to her. That's going to rock a Faye back on her heels.

Good thing Penelope wasn't there. I don't know if she could handle knowing the girl she press ganged into working there now has her old job. While I can understand that Faye may be feeling that she was a toxic influence that harmed the shop more than helped it seems more like her not being the right fit for her old job and better at her new. Hopefully, Bubbles can make her realize that because if the shop was still being run the old way she'd never feel welcome enough to have her little tea parties.

--- Quote from: Oenone on 27 Jun 2016, 22:11 ---I feel like this particular strip requires emotional subtitles, because Faye seems inexplicably angry now.
--- End quote ---
Faye wants a drink. Really wants a drink. And she knows she shouldn't have one. So she needs a scapegoat to blame when she falls off the wagon. Dora is the most convenient one at the moment. Therefore she must get angry at Dora so that she can justify the drink she is about to go buy.
Yeah, there's still a logical disconnect there, but Faye is in a hurry and doesn't have time to come up with something airtight.
BenRG:
I'm sticking with my earlier post that Faye is trying to run away from CoD because she's hoping that if she runs away from the place where she realised that she still has a craving for alcohol, then she'll somehow run away from the craving. It's entirely an irrational, emotional reaction but you can't blame her for having it.
I suspsect that Bubbles will now have the chance to return the favour of that time Faye talked her out of her funk when she had slurs thrown at her in the street. A hug, in other words.

I think, the thought of alcohol brought up the bad memories of the place and she needed to get some space. In many ways bubbles will help faye the same way she helped her.
