I think I recall Dora threatening a stranger with a sword?
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.
