What I really love about this strip is pre-Strip 500 witchy goth Dora rendered in the current art style. That's a treat for those of us who have read the early strips.

And I came to make a very rare post/comment that for those of us who have been reading the strip since forever, that if that one panel was done in Jeph's throwback style it would have been friggin' awesome! :)

And I've known couples that met in the workplace, had a relationship and had to be sent to different departments in different cities when they broke up.
I've worked in larger companies where they strictly forbid people having relationships with coworkers for that very reason.
Faye and Bubbles are two people in a startup. That's stressful enough as it is, but they don't even have the buffer of coworkers. Its going to be a tight line to walk.

That's a profession where the old adage holds true, and please excuse the vulgarity, but you don't shit where you eat.
That's just asking for trouble.

Any of the arts professions can tend to be riddled with people with personality disorders. I've known quite a few characters when I did photography and graphic design—and they were usually coworkers (though don't start me on marketers). Some of the most talented folks were the most "colorful."
Technical professionals? Not so much. My coworkers seemed more mellow when I ended up in web. And from what I've seen Engineers have their own brand of crazy (I have a few in my family and married one), but it's a more subdued compared to the arts. Tech people tend more to be predictable than artists. Of course you run into jerks and weirdos (the bad kind) in any profession. Same goes with cool, amazing people, too.

Which reminds me terribly of Gaiman's "Death" of the Endless... ~;)

--- Quote from: gopher on 26 Jul 2018, 01:42 ---DoraDad is kind of right. Mixing any kind of professional and personal can be tricky. Add in the pansexual nature of Faye and Bubble's relationship there are undoubtedly many hurdles to cross. Makes for a far more entertaining story than Claire and Marten's "I'm Trans", "Cool" arc. Though as JJ seems to be giving out "wins" to his characters before closing shop I'm sure it will all work out.

I haven't had the impression that JJ is anywhere near closing the shop when it comes to QC. Isn't QC by far his main source of income too?
Still plenty that can be explored in QC anyway, so I hope he'll continue for quite a few years to come.
