it's dried and ground up moths

Cool Tat on the customer! 8D
Is it just me, or is her "interview clothes" style kind of similar to Angus?
What's the item on the chalkboard that just has "NO" written next to it?
I can't read that one (I would assume it's something like a Frappuccino), but I am amused by the 'Advice' and 'Good Advice' items on the board - what are the odds that 'Good Advice' can be obtained at CoD?
I have just noticed that QC world is becoming 3-D
I'm sure there are people out there using their specific educations in their specific careers, I just don't seem to know any of them, including myself
Sad to think how much the vibe of Coffee of Doom has changed since we used to hang out there.
I bet it's dried salt from the tears of all the customers Faye served when she worked there. Dora has enough of them for a couple decades still.
The number of libraries I know who have to add a coffee shop just to bring in people is fairly high.
If my town added a coffee shop to the library, I would love my library even more, which I didn't think was possible.
I’m beginning to think that there is no coffee in that cup…the contents are 100% sugar moths.
I am reminded of the food joint advert that asked for people with humanities degrees because if they all had to work at a food joint it would be nice to at least have something to talk about.
I thought Claire's outfit here had suspenders and was extremely disappointed to realize it was just a purse strap.
Suspenders would be dope
One Cafe Mothra please!
Oops I'm in love with Unnamed Purple Haired Customer 😔
"But what if I am so anxious I ruin it! Now I'm anxious about that!"

Oh! That's her purse! I thought she was wearing suspenders. Thin suspenders with that top would look pretty great!
I thought the same!
For some reason, I'm convinced Jeph knows that purple-haired customer in real life.
The sugary coffee is for her tattoo artist who works out of the robot repair shop down the street.
What kind of monster let's the sugar get that low?
It was full when Dora started pouring!
"Is that sugar? Salt? Cocaine?" Am I the only one that tried to read the menu board?
Nope. If he follows form, Jeph will reveal it bit by bit over this week.
The seven percent soy latte.
I see what you did there, Holmes.
I OFFERED HER A JOB! I'M STILL WAITING FOR A REPLY!
Oh you will get a reply, one day when you least expect it
I love that Claire still finds worries no matter what!
Aha, Dora's pouring on the sugar! Clever Jeph, very clever
That anticipatory tongue in panel three is so cute lol
I like the angle in panel 2. Interesting visuals.
I know, right! Draw that transparent glass! Go Jeph!
oh glorious
The spiders have taken over the grinder and moths is their featured grind of the month.
I appreciate this callback
I had a job interview like that once. I kept telling them why they didn't want to hire me and they kept telling me why they did. (They did, it worked out fine.)
No Jeph, the cocaine was added in liquid form. That's just sugar.
She has the jitters and she hasn't even touched the coffee yet.
I am an academic library director, and I have had this conversation eleventy-pepsi times.
Got any openings, lol? My wife has an MLIS and has been following Claire's trajectory since before the pandemic.
Anhydrous caffeine, maybe?
Claire dear, you'll be fine. Why? If Hanners can master the art of baristatry, you can. Dora and you *could* compare notes. Most humans take detours on their career paths. And who's to say librarians wouldn't enjoy a bit of high octane Joe to move things along? Holster your fears and doubt. And while your at it, could I get a large latte, extra shot, easy on the whip, please?
I've been to a library where, judging by the smell and the number of coffee mugs on the librarian side of the counter, having 'barista' on ones resume could probably help one get a job. Just sayin, so you know. (It's in the state of Massachusetts, but not in Northampton. But there could be one in Northampton, too.)
My guess was gonna be MSG
Make sure you get Claire to sign a non-disclosure agreement before you reveal to her the secret ingredient to spider-coffee... (hint: IT'S SPIDERS)!!
Now I want a scribble tattoo.
if it was cocaine she would be charging a lot more
Claire, all in her job interview outfit. 😁
Super cute!
Our old favourite coffee shop served almond croissants with a syringe full of brown stuff sticking out of the side. I can only assume it was heroin because IT WAS SO DELICIOUS. The, ah, brown stuff that is. Not the syringe. The syringe just tasted like plastic and was not very enjoyable at all.
Mocha Loco?
Claire, Claire, Claire... You're worrying about those things, while you're completely forgetting the fact that your brother is a regular customer. Think of the opportunities. "GACK!" "THAT WAS FOR CHRISTMAS DAY, WHEN WE WERE NINE!"
That's a funny way to spell "repressing".
What happened to raven? (And Penelope for that matter?) 🤔
She saw all this coming and flew the coop.
I don’t know why but Claire looks extra cute here. I think it’s the shirt.
If it were cocaine, the coffee would be served with a suspiciously creditcard-looking biscuit...
Gawd I missed Dora. I love her so much. I hope this upcoming arc has some fun Dora/Coffee of Doom moments :)
Time to invent the new job of KNOWLEDGE BARISTA, providing academic references with your caffeinated beverage
You joke but that could literally become a menu item: 50$ for a latte, 4 refills, snide and tutoring.
This is still hitting way too close to home for me
Claire will become as skillful and dedicated barista as soon as she completes THE RITUAL.
Jeph, what about the spiders?
Covid shortages. They had to switch to moths.
