I think Hanners was a bit disturbed by it, too, since her response was "How long have you been working for my mother?" :-o
A Duck:
Comic!
Also OH MY GOD DORA CASUALLY THREATENING MURDER WHAT IS THIS 2007???
Seriously, how long has it been since Dora behaved this way?
I miss Dora. I wish she got some arcs in focus.
Storel:
Yeah, it's like she's channeling Faye or something...
A Duck:
Dora used to be like that, too.
She calmed down with time, specially when Faye's attitude started to be an actual problem.
I'm not complaining, though. Dora's change in behaviour was acknowledged and is natural character growth.

--- Quote from: Tova on 13 Nov 2017, 23:11 ---If you're a new QC character and you aren't detested on the forums within about half a dozen appearances, then you've probably been mute.
--- End quote ---
Hm, not sure, previous characters to my recollection never were that detested, except maybe for Renee and to a lesser degree Brun.
--- End quote ---
You forgot Claire. She is the one I think of whenever a new character is added and this kind of thing happens.
Pretty sure characters like Angus and Dale copped some hate. Faye and Marten still do from time to time. Maybe Emily is one of the few who didn't?

Jeph kinda just sucks at introducing new characters in a way that makes them likeable. It's not one of his strengths.
--- End quote ---
I don't think that's on Jeph, really.
No-one's perfect. Jeph excels at introducing imperfect characters. It's what makes him popular. If the character's flaws align with yours, then of course you will love them. And if they happen to touch a sore spot.. as they inevitably will with someone ... well...
It's one thing to dislike someone's character flaw. That's natural. To be provoked to the point of saying someone really isn't a person is something else. Personally, I have never hated any character Jeph has created, because even a character superficially obnoxious like May has some fundamental goodness.
Maybe Jeph is trying to teach us to see people as people not as a single character flaw or as a two-dimensional villain. Maybe he'll keep repeating this "formula" until we get it.
