Peer Decompression
I definitely had these feelings for the first year or so of sobriety

Is it just me, or does it look like Bubbles' Chair is looking longingly at Dora here?
Dark-roasted jelly beans, right?
Espresso jelly beans with real coffee beans inside.
Dora's lying about this being the first time she's check out a decorating blog. She's a former goth, Goths are completely obsessed with fashion and decorating, it's just a different style than other, but it's still interior design.
And everything's black.
Now I **want** a big mug of jelly beans too!! <3
I think Jeph is lying about the jelly beans.
🎶 jelly bean is not my coffee https://youtu.be/Zi_XLOBDo_Y?t=87
Been there, done that.
I really love the way panels 3 & 4 were laid out.
I know I just CAN'T be the only one who wants Dora's coffee mug, amirite?
Now I literally cannot live without that coffee mug. Full-sized.
and Dora has hardly murdered anyone lately.
I'm glad someone brought this up, honestly. It always seemed to me that Tai's drug usage was way worse than Faye's alcoholism until the incident that put Faye in the hospital. Tai was frequently coming into work high, and not just on marijuana either, thinking back on the comic where she was seeing Marten as a dragon. Faye got drunk at work once and was appropriately fired for it, but Tai was able to get away with multiple stoned shifts without reprimand, I never thought that was fair.
Welcome to the real world where "fair" never comes into play.
Is it just me or is Dora the cutest thing ever on this page? I am continually impressed by Jeph's ever evolving art style.
Jeph, thanks for sharing your experience with us through the fabulous Faye. 💚
I love that. Thank you, Jeph. I stopped drinking, had to. And for quite a while afterwards I was pretty tense about others drinking; it took a while for it to sink in that although I had a problem, maybe you didn't.
I have had a mug of jelly beans like that on more than one occasion. It's quite satisfying.
Can someone remind me what caused Faye to drink?
Angus, the man she finally fell in love with, moved to the city to take his dream job and she elected to stay behind and break up the relationship rather than take a chance and pull up stakes and move with him. It broke her heart and she started drinking move heavily (she was always a drinker) to "drown her sorrows."
When you think of it, Dora is talking about a step into adulthood. One's residence becomes less of a place where one merely sleeps, eats, and bathes, and starts to become a home. Permanent, as opposed to ad hoc.
I wanna hug full of jelly beans...but now I'm worried about choking hazards.
gotta weed out those bad habits.
I have to do no such thing! It's legal in Washington!
Domestication requires generations of artificial selection, so isn't Dora really *taming* Tai? Sorry, I've been binge-listening to "The Common Descent Podcast"...
I think, in this case, "domesticate" means "to make accustomed to the comforts and manners of a domicile".
okay but home decoration is fun
Gorram, Dora! That's a lot of coffee this late!
It's jelly beans
And remember, Faye WAS in a serious accident!
I was expecting Faye to point that out, but I guess that she didn't want to dilute her acknowledgement that Dora got her.
Oh, I get that. I was in a car accident and for a year afterwards I braced myself whenever I saw a car approaching a crossroads.
I think because I went to so many funerals during high school where my peers died in a car crash where alcohol was involved, I never developed a taste for alcohol.
In my case, it was driving the drunk idiots home so they wouldn't die.
Life: Roll insight. Dora: Nat 20.
I love how she goes from side-eye to compassionate understanding almost immediately.
Now I want jelly beans.
Dora Bianchi, domestic goddess.
the best thing to put in a mug is jelly beans
Caffeinated jellybeans.
