I wonder if Dora & Tai will remember Faye's alcoholism. They forgot about it last time when they invited their friends to celebrate their engagement at a bar so it'd be nice to see them remember it now. (I wouldn't necessarily expect them to change anything because of it but I'd like to see them remember it. If anything, the most I'd expect is that they maybe have a quiet chat with Faye & Bubbles before the wedding).

I'm also wondering how Faye's going to go with a wedding reception. I know she wouldn't want anyone to make a big deal out of it. But she probably also won't want to leave early if she's not coping well because this is such a big occasion. Perhaps this could this be an opportunity for Jeph to run a "relapse and then having to get back on the wagon" story line...?

I just re-read a well written fanfic that covers alcoholism in a sensitive and very realistic way, so the topic is at the front of my mind. Among other things it did a great job of showing how a big event can put a lot of stress on someone's sobriety. (Story is Glass Half Full by pir8fancier, if you're into fanfic (or even if you're not)).

For comic #4515...

1. As always, I never tire of Dora's business/money sense.  Dora could give Scrooge McDuck a run for his money.  ;$

2. I actually think there would be a minimal cost to providing Bubbles (& any other AI guests) something to scent-enjoy, though(?).

DaiJB:
 :laugh: Love Dora's expression in the last panel!

Tai is helping! - by preventing Dora's mercenary side from turning this into an AI only affair  :-D

They don't want too many AIs attending anyway, when you consider that some of them are either pure trouble (I'm looking at you, Pintsize and May), or - how should I put this? - bat-shit crazy (Yes, I'm looking at you Melon). Add a few random factors like Yay or Beeps and you're probably looking at a disaster waiting to happen...

Ritter Sport for the win!

Anyway, as a European who has lived in the US for 13 years now, I think some of the criticism of US foods is indeed exaggerated.
It's not like we don't have crap food in Europe, and it's definitely not like it's difficult to find good food in the US. I do think really crap food is more ubiquitous in the US, and more damningly, the difference in price between crap food and decent food is generally greater than in Europe, IMHO.

BUT (there's always a but), Hershey's is pretty terrible in my opinion, because of above aspects. Other US chocolate is just fine though.
American regular supermarket sliced bread is not good, but that might be because I am grew up with very good bread in NW EUrope. But, it's not difficult to find good bread, it's just a little more expensive.

 

awkwardness:
I'm loving this new storyline, the two are growing as characters as we see a side of Dora that she tries to hide but is also a good explanation for why her coffee roasting is so great: dedication and focus. Tai's laidback acceptance of Dora's faults and wanting her to do her thing even though it's making Tai look bad shows that she's thinking of Dora first even if it's not what's needed.

There was talk a few weeks ago about strong relationships? This is the foundation of one: directing your spouse without controlling. Tai needs direction, Dora is trying to do that.
