It's also worth noting that Faye asked if she could be drunk at work, Dora told her no, then she showed up the next day drunk AND lied about it to Dora's face. That being said, this could come crashing down hard.

Hooooo boy, I hope hope Faye doesn't walk in in the next strip.

I love how quickly Dora goes from GET BACK TO WORK to LETS GET SMASHED AT WORK

So we're not mentioning the flare gun?

Does Emily get a haircut *every* time she gets drunk?

I love this more than i should

I didn't think Faye did it all the time (except at home), it seemed more that she hit a breaking point and it was only a recent thing and she got caught on a day of weakness. Just seems kind of like a double-standard. Why even have the emergency bourbon, for example? Always kind of gleaned from the whole 'emergency bourbon' thing that Dora was down with needing alcohol in the event of an emotional crisis, until it actually happened, then she wasn't.

wan't Faye getting drunk at work all the time, this was only once, i see a small difference but I can see it your way, but no one should argue with a lady with a sword

Well, several things spring to mind. 1) She's the boss and owner. Like it or not, it's her prerogative to get drunk at work and allow employees to do the same in a specific situation. 2) Faye was hiding being drunk at work. 3) Faye had drunk at work more than once (earlier excusing it by it being late and there not being any customers anyway). 4) Things had been building up to that for a while. If she let it continue, she'd just be enabling the alcoholism.

perfect activities for a tuesday

Possibly. I hope so. Regardless Dora's my least favourite character for a number of other reasons, so this is more so icing-on-the-cake if not a ruse.

Maybe that's what Jeph was talking about on twitter, when he said he has written a strip that people would hate, until they see the following one?

Samantha Yeaman

It kind of annoys me how hypocritical Dora's being right now. Faye gets drunk at work? Fired. Dora gets drunk at work? All is fine with the universe. DAMN YOU, COFFEE WENCH.

I hope there's some left for Hanners but at the same time I don't want anyone's skull being turned into a lampshade!
