Doesn't Dora keep a longsword under the counter? (Or did they move that one to Marten's & Faye's place - i.e. is that the one that Marten threatened Clinton with when he went creepy on Hanners?)

Technically, I believe the one at CoD was a broadsword, not a longsword. And I thought Clinton met Hanners at CoD, not at Marten's & Faye's place, so I would guess that was the same sword.

She's Bubbles not Archie Bunker. She appreciates that Coffee of Doom got a chair for her, but she won't kill anyone over it especially if Hannelore told Tilly to sit there.
And it's good to see Hannelore remembers that she didn't recognize boundaries when she first befriended Marten and is extending the same patience with Tilly. It's possible Beatrice's HR department pulled someone with a similar psychological profile.
Tilly reminds me of Star Trek DS9's Vorta species with how subservient she is. And if she's anything like them killing her won't make a difference. They'll just make another and for all we know this might not even be the original Tilly Birch.
BenRG:
I think that Hannelore is being to passive and defeatist here which may be the whole point Jeph is making. Hannelore doesn't want a confrontation, especially with Tilly who, as the footer text points out, is like a strangely and insanely cute but troublesome puppy-dog. However, she's going to have to lay down some boundaries at some point.
Then, in panel 4, we get the big revelation: Tilly is a fangirl and will do anything that her idols ask of her. So, the 'stalker' label starts sticking a bit better because this sort of obsessive focus motivating basically selfish action is what stalking tends to be about.
FWIW, if asked, I'm sure that Tilly would surrender the chair, especially if the asker can prove that she is the person whose name it bears. Frankly, a conversation between Bubbles and the 'strange, frantically helpful small human' would probably be more than a little funny!

What bothers me more is that she seems to fit in Bubbles' chair. Tilly is tiny, she seems smaller than Tai. Bubbles fits well in that chair - Tilly's feet should be dangling in the air, and she certainly should not have her head up higher than the top of the chair back!
Perhaps the only chair that fit Bubbles was an intelligent adaptive chair that fits the sitter. The would be one boring job for an AI...

That very much depends on the AI. I mean, there are intelligent machines out there for whom making toast is the height of personal fulfilment!
