Compare the shop talk here with that, say, in QC #10 or QC #83. How we have grown up! (Alas).
This is what Dora means when you work past 70% of your potential!
I really like Dora’s last face…I have unfortunately made that face too many times to count.
When Coffee of Doom expands to open a branch at the SMIF library, Claire will see her calling. I’m calling this plot point now.
I was thinking Coffee of Doom would start selling books as a side business, but this works too. 🙂📚
HANNERS CAN GIVE ME 'LATTE LESSONS' ANYTIME!
<3 Hanners, she makes *everything* better.
I think Hanners might outgrow this job someday. Now I'm picturing automated coffee kiosks around the world that know exactly what you want and using predictive analysis have it ready for you as you walk up. No lines. Always perfect. It easily eclipses Starbucks and is the first step on Hannelore's globe-spanning empire.
But she doesn't want a globe-spanning empire. She wants to work in a coffe-shop
Calling it now, Claire will find a way to do library science on the cloud storage. Hannelore will find it the sexiest thing she has ever seen. She will make Claire a latte for thanks and they will both blush as Claire drink it. Nothing more will come from it.
Proper file nomenclature is a huge engine starter.
In retrospect, *obviously* Hanners would do all this.
If this is -17% of her best, I'm scared to see what +17% looks like.
a coffee of doom newsletter would be a good patreon reward
I just want to see what their masthead looks like.
Hanners could probably turn Dora's cafe into a thriving chain. And without the apathetic corporate energy too <3
Can't wait to see the newsletter!
Being a part of my school's ASB/Student Council had things like this. President or VP absolutely baffled we have a handy dandy event calendar available that no one ever realized existed but was on the bulletin, available at the front desk and mentioned in every agenda.
In all fairness, you gotta feed your spam filter. Otherwise it'll start snacking on those emails you marked as important 5 years ago.
Don’t feed it after midnight…
So Hanners is staging a hostile takeover by *accident*?
No. A friendly but unrequested reorganization. Hanners isn't looking for a job title. She's just trying to do what she thinks is a good job. As Shane Wagner predicts down below, this will result in a globe-spanning empire. But it's Dora's company, not Hannelore's.
There are a variety of good Claire faces in this strip. I must convey my utmost approval.
Hannelore's 17% is a LOT
17%? Didn't Dora say 70% in the last strip?
I continue to identify with Hanners, as I organise everything via spreadsheet/digital format while my ex is a purely analog person
I mean... Why wouldn't you want the spreadsheet? Spreadsheets are life!
Hanners AND Claire. Oh Dora. You have so much unwanted efficiency coming your way. (How were those be-less-of-a-control-freak therapy sessions going again?)
If she hasn't been checking work-related email, I'd say they're going pretty well!
... show of hands, not surprised Hanners has done all this and Dora didn't notice?
An ancient QC was up on Fark.com earlier today. From back in the 1900's IIRC.
Oh wait 1900s as in comic number, not as in the year, I'm dumb
In which I am Hanners
Wondering how good the newsletter is, any chance it could get 'leaked' to Patreon? 👀
you'll like tomorrow's comic ;)
Dora owns the place, but Hanners is the boss.
Chairman vs CEO. Classic.
The employee list was what? Dora, Hanners, Dale, Emily, right? Who else still works there?
Penelope was promoted to asst. Manager after Faye left and Cosette was working there last time we saw her
Seriously mate, thank you. I needed the smile and QC always brings it. 😊
Looks like Hannes knows how to manage the coffee shop better than Dora. I smell another change coming. Come to think of it, it feels like Roko all over again.
I think Claire's enthusiasm levels have improved!
Is. There. A. Filing. System.
And don't take my stapler.
Okay, calling it right now. Palace coup, with Hanners ousting Dora. And Claire as her majordomo.
Nah, Hanners wouldn't want to be in charge. Dora's the authority and Hanners quietly keeps things running. It's a good system, really.
Man, Hanners does not mess around...
Sadly not ;-)
That’s a good summation of where I am.
… who’s the manager here again?
I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty on point for the manager to be that precise and the owner to it of the loop somewhat, especially at an established business like Coffee of Doom.
Dora is out of the loop, but at least her spam filter is well fed.
