Oh god, I can only hear her talking in Peridot's voice now.
Oh sweet cthulu.
But... what did she see?
i love melons face in panel 2
Hmm. Emily's hair is darker than Dora's. Is Dora maybe going grey? ;)
Nah, Emily will have dyed it with Dark Matter just for kicks.
Coffee of Doom, the new robot crack den
Melon is adorable 💚
Wow. It's been a LONG time since we've been in Coffee of Doom!
Two whole days!
I think this is the first time that we've seen Melon standing up around members of the regular cast. She's so short!
She's about average height, actually. It's just that Emily is unfeasibly tall!
I'm worried - it may destroy melon's nasal sensors....
Tie in with the repair shop then.
The customer is always right. If the customer also has a defective sense of reality that's really their problem. In all likelihood, I doubt that Melon's Drain-O-induced hallucination will be any more alarming than her normal perception of the world!
I’ll have a WTF size mocha, please.
Unrelatedly, I want to know what costs 69.69.
Wonder if the unicorn she'll see will resemble Mr. Clean.
As drain cleaner is nothing like tea, chemically, I'm expecting her to have a terrifying hallucination of some hideous Cthonic nightmare and then tell Emily that she was disappointed because "I didn't really want to have to tell Charlie again why we've stopped dating!"
I don't know if it's actually the best casting but I keep hearing Melon's lines in Kristen Schaal's voice
but, like, more Mabel Pines than Louise Belcher
I like how much of the menu of Coffee of Doom comes from customers being weird and the staff running with it.
Actually, very little of it came from the customers. In the early strips, it came from Dora and Faye's borderline-manic antisocial imaginings and it just became popular with customers as 'local colour'.
It could just be effects of my head injury - but WHAT HAPPENED TO DORA? I literally don't recognize her anymore, did she get plastic surgery a couple of months ago - or what?
It's the long hair, it's totally changed her.
I'm unreasonably happy to see my favorite character talking to my other favorite character ❤
Also I love the conspiratorial aside. MELON HAS CRACKED THE CODE
Melon said that "corrosive is just spicy for robots." So drinking drain cleaner would be what, like a human drinking straight sriracha sauce? Or maybe eating a whole habanero pepper?
It's Ex-Lax for robots...
Theory: Melon is like Pintsize’s sister. It can only explain the AI cucklanding.
Does Emily not have blackboard privileges yet?
I'm willing to believe that Dora has had a waiver drafted that would cover such an occasion.
When you had Faye Whitaker as your deputy manager, I'm pretty sure it was a survival necessity.
Today I thought Dora was looking extra cute at work today, but then I realized Melon was talking to Emily.
Dora and Emily are merging...
I mean, I don't think drain cleaner usually contains animal by-products... Then again, this *is* Coffee of Doom. It may well contain virgins' blood or something.
While it's probably vegan, it's likely not organic.
Well, demand soooo supply
Melon, no!
69.69. Nice
Nice.
Aw, I have missed Dora too!
This actually gave me a headache. Melon why?
Because she has been established as having a wonky sense of reality.
oh Mellon
Melon’s hair looks cute today
Windy outside, I bet. Or else the spiders in the tunnels are especially frisky today.
But... Eagle week?
Turk & JD are just out of frame.
Reading the sign on the outside of the building! What a novel idea!
