My main point was that in the forums, Faye's asshole-ish (like hitting people and saying mean things) behavior has been discussed so it def. isn't people having a problem with how "capable" Renee is and targeting her specifically. Some people just like different and dislike different characters.

I personally think she's a toxic friend who is condescending and that she sexually harassed Elliot. I also just don't like her which I will fully admit. I happen to like Dora a lot - and Dora is arguably the most capable woman in the comic.

I think I recall Dora threatening a stranger with a sword? I wouldn't like to be threatened with a sword ...


--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 31 Mar 2018, 17:48 ---In real life, it clearly is the act of a rude and possibly dangerous person. In a strip that oscillates between realism and slapstick? Harder to tell.

That was Cosette. And it was for comedic effect more than anything.

I would avoid someone in reality who acted like Renee and maybe warn otehrs away.

Depends on teh context.
Is teh individual being threatened a complete fucknut that won't stop harassing a friend/family member of teh person doing teh threatening? Was teh person doing teh threatening using teh phone only because tehy were unable to do teh threatening in person?

EDIT: easy ways to tell I've been up too long include spelling any instance of a 'teh' sequence 'teh' in a post and/or abusing teh letter 'j' for all of its itterative pronunciation uses.

EDIT: found today's prank. 'The' latter rubric for tiredness still holds true.

The continuous stream of threats of grievous bodily harm at Coffee of Doom - with or without the use of various implements, including the sword, the fighting spatula, and even a carafe of coffee - is one of my favourite parts of the entire comic. Even Marten and Claire get in on it. I don't believe for a minute that Dora actually approves of any real violence (pretty sure her insurance wouldn't approve either), and it's hilarious to see the reactions from people who aren't used to it yet.


Not coincidentally, one of my other favourite parts of the comic is also at Coffee of Doom: the specials on the board. I worked at a very boring coffee shop when I was a teenager, and in retrospect I wish I could have worked for Dora. I'm just crazy enough to fit right in, and sane enough to know when to joke around and when to be serious.

OldGoat:
My assessment of Renee as an asshole comes from her habit of "accidentally" spilling other people's beans.  If she ever learns that Claire in trans, word will be all over town in no time at all.

(I'll come back and link to some examples if I get enough coffee on board before I have to leave for the day's festivities.  Happy Easter to all who keep it, and may you only fall for harmless April Fool pranks.)
