Dora STILL can't be the flower girl!!!

Claire could! Judging by her dresses she tried on for the wedding, she might be into that. And she could catch the bouquet!
Dandi Andi:
If I'm reading the subtext correctly, this strip went something like this;
Tai: "Catastrophizing about problems that don't exist is toxic. It stops you enjoying what you already have."
Dora: "Yeah, but this is a very realistic possibility and it's a complicated one. This relationship is deeply important to Marten and one job offer could cause it to self destruct in a devastating way. They both need to know where the other stands."
Tai: "It is important, so why haven't we talked about it?"
Dora: "Actually, I've thought a lot about it. There isn't anything in my life that I can't rebuild and no relationships that I can't maintain long distance. But you're irreplaceable to me. There aren't any problems I'm not willing to deal with as long as we're together."
Tai: "... Holy shit! You're really 100% committed to this! You've poured so much of your life into this coffee shop. And you're willing to abandon it for me. I mean more to you than Coffee of Doom!? I don't really know how to parse that, but I know that I don't ever want to lose you. I want to show that same level of commitment to you."
Marten: "FUUUUUUCK!

And some jobs are much more concerned about what skills you have than what credentials. I seem to recall him having a music blog. He could revive that and eventually write about music professionally. A few media critics have even made successful careers out of making video essays on YouTube. He has options.

And what kind of job can you get with that? Teach music? He’d need an education degree unless he worked at a private school. There’s no point in aspiring to to career options that don’t exist.

Boeing hired a metric shitload of people with music degrees as computer programmers back in the '90s. After several rounds of various layoffs, many of them are still there. Music skills carry over into programming. After all, what is dal segno al fini but a go-to instruction?
Props Jeph, I didn't see that coming.

Penelope has one and she works at Coffee of Doom because it’s not just finding a job, but enduring a potentially dead end job for years in the hope it will pay off.
Anyway this argument is about to be drowned out by high pitched squeeing.
