Jeph, what about the spiders?

Captain Button

Claire will become as skillful and dedicated barista as soon as she completes THE RITUAL.

Elberik

This is still hitting way too close to home for me

Max Kaehn

Time to invent the new job of KNOWLEDGE BARISTA, providing academic references with your caffeinated beverage

Gawd I missed Dora. I love her so much. I hope this upcoming arc has some fun Dora/Coffee of Doom moments :)

MikeT

If it were cocaine, the coffee would be served with a suspiciously creditcard-looking biscuit...

Will Weaver

I don’t know why but Claire looks extra cute here. I think it’s the shirt.

What happened to raven? (And Penelope for that matter?) 🤔

Noise

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!"

BobC

Mocha Loco?

Simon Green

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.

Dean Reilly

Claire, all in her job interview outfit. 😁

Ashley Thomas

if it was cocaine she would be charging a lot more

You joke but that could literally become a menu item: 50$ for a latte, 4 refills, snide and tutoring.

J.R. Murdock

Now I want a scribble tattoo.

Shawn K. Younkin

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)!!

My guess was gonna be MSG

Michael Boettger

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?

Anhydrous caffeine, maybe?

I am an academic library director, and I have had this conversation eleventy-pepsi times.

Sleepy John

She has the jitters and she hasn't even touched the coffee yet.

No Jeph, the cocaine was added in liquid form. That's just sugar.

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.)

Mad Marie

The spiders have taken over the grinder and moths is their featured grind of the month.

oh glorious

Rob McBobson

I like the angle in panel 2. Interesting visuals.

Anonymous

That anticipatory tongue in panel three is so cute lol

Aha, Dora's pouring on the sugar! Clever Jeph, very clever

Errol Lobo

Got any openings, lol? My wife has an MLIS and has been following Claire's trajectory since before the pandemic.

VoxOrbisBrad

I love that Claire still finds worries no matter what!

Yelling Bird

I OFFERED HER A JOB! I'M STILL WAITING FOR A REPLY!

Hugh Eckert

The seven percent soy latte.

"Is that sugar? Salt? Cocaine?" Am I the only one that tried to read the menu board?

Adam Abbott

What kind of monster let's the sugar get that low?

Carl Fink

Nope. If he follows form, Jeph will reveal it bit by bit over this week.

Carl Fink

For some reason, I'm convinced Jeph knows that purple-haired customer in real life.

Mad Marie

The sugary coffee is for her tattoo artist who works out of the robot repair shop down the street.

Grace Kieser

Oh! That's her purse! I thought she was wearing suspenders. Thin suspenders with that top would look pretty great!

Bagge

"But what if I am so anxious I ruin it! Now I'm anxious about that!"

Oops I'm in love with Unnamed Purple Haired Customer 😔

Oh you will get a reply, one day when you least expect it

One Cafe Mothra 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.)

I thought Claire's outfit here had suspenders and was extremely disappointed to realize it was just a purse strap.

Chris Crowther

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.

Mad Marie

I’m beginning to think that there is no coffee in that cup…the contents are 100% sugar moths.

Miyaa

The number of libraries I know who have to add a coffee shop just to bring in people is fairly high.

Evgeniy Semyonov

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.

Matt Pedone

If my town added a coffee shop to the library, I would love my library even more, which I didn't think was possible.

TV4Fun

Sad to think how much the vibe of Coffee of Doom has changed since we used to hang out there.

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

Tim Williams

I have just noticed that QC world is becoming 3-D

David Durant

What's the item on the chalkboard that just has "NO" written next to it?

Anonymous

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?

Some Ed

I'm pretty sure they have one piece of good advice that's almost always applicable. "Don't come to us for good advice." ;) Actually, there's quite a bit of good advice these characters have given over the years. But from their track record, we know - It's unwise to ask them for it while they're on the clock. - If you don't heed the prior bullet, don't be too surprised if it comes wrapped in packaging you're not inclined to swallow.

Daryl Sawyer

Is it just me, or is her "interview clothes" style kind of similar to Angus?

Miyaa

@KCkittysnores • The best example was when my university library had its ground floor space renovated to add their version of Starbucks, and they actually cited wanting to boost the number of people who use the library on a daily basis. I grew up near Kansas City and many of the local town & city libraries added a coffee shop or cafe for added revenue. I’m glad the Linda Hall Library, a science and engineering library on the University of Missouri-Kansas City campus never has to do that. Though it’s a really classy place to sit and chill.
