Michael

Dora can teach him the ways of the bean juice

Miyaa

Tim Horton’s truly is everywhere in Canada.

Sparky

Franchise!

Peter McDevitt

You know what; I'll take the heat off: Tim Hortons SUCKS.

Derek Hassell

Okay, but hear me out. Cube-shaped coffee mugs.

Matt Grayson

I did NOT see that coming. Coffee of Doom II.

ValdVin

"Coffee of Doomette" sounds a lot better than "Coffee of Doom II". Would Dora train him for a cut? After all, Marten will have to upgrade his palate from "If it's hot and brown he'll like it" to make a go.

Jay

Coffee of Doom's first offshoot, Coffee of Gloom.

chili sunrise

Also this is what happens when you give slackers time and space to be themselves, they get sick of drifting & pick a direction

Duncan

Cofflet of Doomlet?

ValdVin

Upvote, but you say that like Cubetown doesn't have every conceivable thing available in cube shape, and a couple of inconceivable things.

Cory Thorp

Lifelong Canadian here. I’m with Marten.

Ian Hecht

It's okay, most of us don't like Timmies since they got bought out by that Brazilian equity firm...

Duncan

One of their specials, available only at 1pm precisely (iirc), is Coffee Goes Boom

Duncan

All commenters ever: "We've been SHOUTING this for MONTHS"

Kyle Alfred

Me thinks they are all going to move here...

Derek Hassell

Marten says he was unable to find a "real coffee shop", so I deliberately misinterpret that to mean the ones he DID find don't have coffube mugs. /j

J.R. Murdock

Will he open his own, or a franchise of Coffee of Doom?

TwoRavens

CoD North, here we fucking GOOOOOOOOO!!

David Crompton

Coffee of Doom ll : Electric Boogaloo

Duncan

Also, Claire really has been on a roller-coaster of emotions recently, huh.

D

You're... you're gonna warn us if you're wrapping up the story right? I need time to emotionally process.

BobC

We ALL know it's the TEA that will change Cubetown! Marten will own Cubetown in a month.

Eli Kirkwood

He mentioned in a previous post that the next arc (this one) is NOT the end of the comic and he still has plenty of story left to tell

D

Oh bless you I was staring to panic

Michael Boettger

Breach the news to Hanners first. She could round up CoD's weapons first. Just in case Dora doesn't take it well. Of course Dora will train him. Maybe even help with a loan so He can get decent equipment. Dora could supply beans and tea. For a reasonable profit, of course.

ValdVin

That is better. (Also I thought "Doomettes" was a nickname someone once gave to all of Dora's employees, including Dale, who'd be chill about it.)

f4ngl1d3r

For real though, Tim's can be really shitty and try to get you kicked out of your home if you're an inconvenience. There was a scandal in PEI where they tried to evict some residents in a building they owned to make it into a corporate dormitory for temporary foreign workers (which is exploitative as fuck). I think it got ruled in favour of the residents but a lot of people had already been chased off.

Anya Lienau

I'm not sure I'd be that excited if I was taking a high stress job like this and my partner decided to try to open a business at the same time. Both endeavors will take so much time, energy and cause so much stress, and there will be a big financial risk in opening a business. Augh!

Diptych

Coffee of Doom II is a lot like the original Coffee of Doom, but it adds seven new baristas and a double-barrelled shotgun. Also if you noclip through the 'Employees Only' door, you find a secret! (.deeR netraM ,em taefed tsum uoy ,drac ytlayol ruoy etelpmoc oT)

Asthmatic Space Gimp

Nah, Jeph, real Canadians know Tim's is shit and that's what makes you One Of Us now. 🇨🇦

Jasper

Aaaaaaa

Diptych

We're only making plans for Marten He has his future in Canadian coffee We're only making plans for Marten Marten's whole future is slightly less nebulous than it was before.

Rob McBobson

Really? I didn't know that. Makes me glad that I've never gone to a Tim Horton's-

MikeT

In true Canadian tradition, would it not be "Coffee of Mild Discomfort"?

Granite

I don't think Marten could pull off Coffee of Doom II. More like "Chill Brew - but available at most temperatures you want". Would say "any temperature you want", but he's met some of the residents.

David Jackson

Additionally and on further reflection: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Joseph Bonnar

Jeph, thank you. I NEEDED this comic. :)

Lord Travis Lance the 3rd Matheson esq

Now, for the last step, please let Marten hire someone named Nigel, just, you know, to make plans for. We only want what’s best for him

Thisguy

Here’s hoping Marten is CoD’s first franchisee. Then held have access to all their flavours and recipes. I mean, he’d have to do tea right?

Nutjob

S'fine, if they could only keep the one by the helipad running it means it's not really a Tims market The problem is when Claire gets things running properly and suddenly there IS a Tims market moving in Then it's Thunderdome time

Dr. Allegedly

COFFEE OF DOOM GOES INTERNATIONAL. FORGET DORA SHITTING IVE SHITTED MYSELF.

Zodiak

In fairness to the Tim Horton's critique... their quality has kinda gone downhill over the past 10+ years... They aren't what they once were.

Yelling Bird

"Welcome to "Coffee or Whatever".

Todd Ellner

He's going to have to serve kopi luwak and Black Ivory coffee. No excuses

David Jackson

It'll definitely be stressful, but the impression I got from Claire's reaction to her proposed salary was that she will be obscenely rich now -- so I don't think there's going to be that much risk. Which is good because, let's be honest, Marten will absolutely fuck this up big time before getting it right.

Beechwood Chip

How about, Claire works remotely from Northampton and makes frequent trips to Cubetown. I really don't feel good about splitting the cast.

Yelling Bird

Can't we all just get beyond Thunderdome?

Todd Chaikin

I heard a Canadian once refer to Tim Hortons as a scam. In that they've scammed the country into thinking it's good coffee lol

R L

The first stop on your path to citizenship is: Realizing Tim Hortons ain't worth SHIT. Signed: a concerned Canadian citizen.

Darren Franzen

The *art* in these last two comics…just amazing! Last panel Marten is as awesome as second panel Claire yesterday!

Emilia

It would probably be easier for Martin if he and Claire were married before they immigrate.

Todd Ellner

Nah. It should reflect the personality of the owner. He is not Dora.

Todd Ellner

This SHOULD NOT be CoD. Cubetown needs therapeutic Chill, not performative abuse. CoD reflects Dora's personality. Marten's place should reflect his. Blessed is the Bean.

MikeT

At least "Sorry for the Coffee" means he needs no real training, or skills, or actual good coffee to begin with

Flash

I'm Canadian, YES offense to Tim Horton, it's just burning hot tasteless water, even McDonald's has better coffee and THAT'S NOT THEIR MAIN THING. However, because they made a deal with the devil, you'll never see a bankrupt Tim Horton, they just exists everywhere!

Likeablejerk

The coffee shop should be called Fifth Quadrant.

Xardion

My vote goes to "Coffee or Whatever" (props to Yelling Bird for that one)

Derek Hassell

Y'all. Clearly the name is Coffee³

Alex Borders

TBF, Marten doesn't need to franchise Coffee of Doom to call it "Coffee of Doom II". I used to shop at a bookstore called 'Bookstop 3', because the owner used to shop at a store called 'Bookstop 2' that she really loved. (No clue where 'Bookstop 2' came from - it might have been the same thing for all I know.)

MikeT

We don't really need another hero...

Ron Hamann

Is this a ploy to get Faye to Cubetown? Business is slow for robot repair, so Faye and Bubbles move, so Faye can teach Marten, and Bubbles can plant a robot repair business. Surely with daily BOOM!s there’s a plethora of clients.

David Durant

I still think it's a bad idea for Claire to take the job but que sera sera at this point. I do like the idea of Martin setting up his own coffee shop - I hope he gets lot of opportunities to jam with his customers. Still fascinated how the comic is going to work split across two very different locations. Oh, and again Jeph - the art is this looks great!

Absentia

The Librarian's Beans

dat guy

strained bean soup

Jack

If you're going to Tims for anything other than the TimBits, that's on you tbh

Diptych

I wonder whether Marten's hypothetical coffee shop will be wholly privately owned or whether Cubetown will sponsor it. Kind of a municipal socialism thing, with Marten volunteering to be the organiser.

VC

Canada called. They’re worried about you.

Nutjob

Admittedly we call just about everyone now and then just to, you know, touch base, make sure you're okay. ... Do you need any help...?

Zygo

I'm no microbiologist, but I'm pretty sure if you sterilise the surface of any random rock near an engineering facility in Canada, a Tim Horton's will sprout up a few months later by spontaneous generation.

Dean Reilly

Coffee of Mild Inconvenience

Tudza

Been a while, but I liked Tim Horton's when I could drive out and get it.

Grace Serenity

It's in Canada, so they probably have universal healthcare for robots, already

ellafine

Me: *chuckles at comments section* My partner: what's funny? Me: oh it's just that webcomic I read...the one my Coffee of Doom mug is based on. I think I told you about it before, there's like fifteen years worth to catch up though. Partner: *looks it up* holy shit there are *twenty* years worth! *A few minutes later* I hear chuckling coming from the other room...

Bill Marcum

"Everyone there will give big cheer. Everyone there will have moved here. I like to be in Ca-na-di-a Okay by me in Ca-na-di-a..."

Ron Hamann

Is Canadian healthcare single payer or centralized? If single payer, isn’t there a business model for them?

jonesnori

It's sad. They used to be sort of like the village pub, at least in the corner of Ontario I was familiar with. Apparently they got bought out.

Sean Kinlin

And if young Marten says he's happy He must be happy He must be happy He must be happy, in Claire's world.

Sean Kinlin

They have indeed. I did not stan the coffee shop idea for Marten, but they were right and I was wrong.

Carl Fink

I like Tim Horton's. It isn't a coffee shop, but it's fine for what it is.

Chris Heg

"Here's looking at you, kid"

Carl Fink

Would it be impolite to gloat? I don't care, I was one of at least three people who predicted this. I won't be Coffee of Doom. I'm sure Jeph has a great name already worked out that will amuse us all.

Temba His Arms Wide

I mean working WITH Dora and making Coffee of Doom a chain wouldn't be a bad idea

Sean Kinlin

But has your partner been inoculated against Butts Disease?

Sean Blakey

Yeah. It's not a coffee shop, but it's fine for what it is. The donuts aren't great, but it's fine for what it is. The food isn't great, but it's fine for what it is. Much like Darkseid, Tim Horton's Is.

Czarzhan

I don't see what Dora would freak out about. It's not like a coffee shop in Cubetown would be any kind of competition for Coffee of Doom, although a CoD branch would be cool: Dora could come train Marten and help get the shop rolling, or send Hanners.

Patrick Liston

I think it's more that she'd be excited over him opening a coffee shop.

Diptych

D'you know, funny thing - where I'm from, even places that aren't coffee places tend to do at least OK coffee, but McDonald's coffee is regularly undrinkable. Hungry Jack's, though - our version of Burger King? Really good coffee.

SpookyPenguin

Marten is a nice bloke And he loves to speak And he loves to drink coffee too In his world Marten is happy in his world

Alycia Bailey

I would have thought a tea shop. Maybe Dora can franchise Coffee of Doom. "tea of catastrophe"?

Roombot

I CALLED IT!!

Bagge

Whut? I actually called it? Finally Martens life of hanging around in a coffee shop is paying off

Dani

Coffee of Doom Chain? Coffee of Doom Chain.

Bagge

"Everyone is making it up as they go along can be very inspirational." (Hint: It's true for everyone, everywhere)

YsabetJustYsabet

So... a coffee/tea shop that has a Jam Night once per week? I wonder if Cubetown has any AI electric guitars? And me, I'd be tempted to name the place 'Corners.'

legobil

Are you saying this is fan service by Jeph? 😉😄

Andrew Mitchell

No. Jeph has said that QC will continue.

M. R.

You aren’t a citizen yet? They usually push you into it after 5 years

Lisa

It was bothering me a little that Martin didn't answer Claire's question in the previous comic, and I love that the gently but firmly asked again and got an answer now.

Marxist_Iguana

So are Martin and Claire gonna be less prevalent in the comic going forward? Or is the whole gang gonna relocate to Cubetown? Or are Martin and Claire still gonna spend most of their time in Northampton because they're living in a post singularity world and Hanner's dad would probably invent a teleporter if it meant his daughter could keep one of her friends?

Justin

Will we ever find out what happened to Steve?!?!?!?!?!

Brian English

I will feel very cheated if we are not present for Cubetown wacky hijinks.

David Crompton

Also acceptable and probably inevitable.

Clifton Royston

I pointed my wife to the start of the Liz Goblin story-line, and she started reading along... I warned her about the nearly 5000-strip backstory. I think she's hooked now though, because she continued reading through the Pintsize, Faye, & Bubbles detour.

RobertC

Oh God it's happening... Coffee of Doom FRANCHISE

Tom wilson

I was also pretty sure Marten was going to open a coffee shop. I'm not sure how many bios are on the Cube, but the smell-o-vision teas at Coffee of Doom seem to be increasingly popular there, so maybe he could have a combo coffee/scent shop.

Tom wilson

Or maybe Coffee of Mood...

Captain Button

Bu the laws of drama say that Steve must be called back for One Last Job.

Captain Button

Coffee Of Cube is going to fail, because they won't let Marten import all of the invasive species of spiders needed to get the roasting done right.

Dean Reilly

When presented with a choice between a return trip on Ol' Boaty and making a new life in Cubetown, Marten made the obvious decision.

alexandre belinge

What a great idea ! He should also start M. and the AI heavy metal band ! (Nu Metal obviously)

Carin Maja Brooks

Wait, are Claire and Marten just trading their current jobs with massive promotions thrown in?

Mad Marie

The graphics are slightly better.

Chauncey

If Hanners takes it poorly, Cube Town might come under orbital bombardment.

mathw

Marten starts his own coffee shop???? Did not see that one coming.

MercuryBuddha

OMG FRANCHISE COFFEE OF DOOM SO THEY ALL HAVE A REASON TO VISIT WHENEVER THE STORY NEEDS IT!!!

SpookyPenguin

I just realized what an effect Claire's had on Marten, he's changed. He's taking a risk and going to do a thing rather than float along. Wow.

David Paul

A double-shot tungsten latte served at 5,659°C. The material sciences department is still working on the mug, though.

David Paul

Dora has Coffee of Doom. Marten would run Coffee of Mood.

Dilemma01

I'm sure they'll have their own. And that way fans of each shop can be snotty about how much better the taste is at *their* location.

Caleb Martin

Ooo I like this idea... and in addition, maybe have a bakery addon for Elliott!

Stephen Wells

Coffee of Calm. Cup'o Chill. The Capy Bar(a). Zen Beanz.

Stephen Wells

You can make a very decent tea using an espresso machine with a teabag in the basket, but do NOT do this with the same espresso machine you use to make actual coffee, they don't mix well.

Mrpink

"Robo-Brew: Fueling the minds of machines and men! A Coffee of Doom subsidiary"

David Durant

How long have they been dating now?

MisterVimes

No, definitely offense to Tim Hortons. DunkyDunks is far superior - except maybe the sandwiches/soup at Timmy's - and that also doesn't count as a coffee shop!

Miyaa

Well, they still will have to travel back, pack, and then permanently move to Cubetown. Plenty of chances for Ol’ Boaty to have his revenge.

Miyaa

They should ask if the author of “can’t spell tea without treason” give their permission to use the title as a tea shop name.

Miyaa

It’s a menace.

Miyaa

Delta quadrant? (Seven of Nine shudders.)

Miyaa

BFC: Big f’n cup. Like mega gulp size.

Matt Pedone

That Stoned Valkyrie

I was really fond of the milkshakes I got from Timmy ho's in college (western ny)

Kid Meier91

Coffee of Doom FRANCHISING TIME!

Stephen Wells

In the strip, about a decade? In-world, a few months (and it's only that long because of the timeskip). But they should both absolutely put a ring on it, this is a top-tier relationship.

Stephen Wells

Adjacent to the Filth Quadrant (recycling and cleaning services) and the Filch Quadrant (pickpocket zone) and the Finch Quadrant (inhabited by small birds). Meanwhile, the docks are the Winch Quadrant.

Populuxe

I’m just happy to know there are people here who get a forty year old song reference.

Wood

So Marten, who has no experience running a business, who has never even worked at a coffee shop, thinks he can start his own shop just like that?

Finvaara

More likely he thinks he has friends who can tell him what he's getting himself into, and what he needs to learn and prepare for.

Robert Romberger

As I sit here in Arizona, enjoying breakfast with a cup of Tim Hortons Special Dark, it all begins to fall into place. Dora will immediately seize on the idea of franchising 'Coffee if Doom'. Hannelore (or Marigold) will provide financial support, Mae will be CFO, Brun will be startup staff. Pizza delivery by reentry vehicle and giant catchers mit. It all just fits together. Everyone wins. Hmm, franchising, a city of robots. . .

Miyaa

Meanwhile, the “It is time” music plays and Jim, Dora, Faye, Marigold, and Hanners proceeds to the Coffee of Doom basement to gather the necessary supplies needed to induct Marten into the Northampton Chamber of Commerce Entrepreneur Society. The Society of the Invisible Hand of you will.

David Durant

You'd be surprised what you can do when you have a lot of very supportive friends who've done it before.

Freedom

That was my first thought. I'm wondering if questionable content is ending soon. I feel like this could be a satisfying ending point

Steve H

My coffee shop name idea has to be “Martin’s Incredibly Chill/Calm Relaxation Operation Brews.” Otherwise known as M.I.C.R.O.Brews.

Doc Gumby

omg no it's my daily bread :O

Leak

As inept as Cubetown is it'll be "two men enter, two men leave" - who wants that?

Leak

Coffee Coffee Coffee? Is that what you shout into a mug to conjure Dora?

tamouse.art

frame 4 ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️

Hugh Eckert

I can see this working, especially if Marten recruits talented people and is willing to learn from them... and learns when and how to delegate. Although after the last strip, I was thinking that he could go back to school and get a counseling degree...

Gaz

I CALLED IT!

Tim Keating

If only Jeph could clone himself...

Drew Teter

A bunch of scientists stranded in the ocean without coffee? No wonder cubetown is such a mess.

Some Ed

Nigel and Marten have the same number of syllables. I don't believe Nigel is actually part of any of the rhymes. Also, I was young back when Nigel was, and I'm old now, so I doubt that Nigel really fits the lyrics that well. :%s/Nigel/Marten/g

Some Ed

"... but they both feel really sorry."

Ursus Ridens

Much like The-Chain-Formerly-Known-as-Dunkin'-Donuts. Actually, their coffee isn't so bad, but their donuts are shrunken to the point of ludicrosity*. (Probably all the better for the consumer's health.) But let each of us admit! -- there have been times when even mediocre coffee and pastries have saved our miserable lives.

Ursus Ridens

*And they no longer have dunkin' donuts -- old people, please explain to the young people what those were.

Ursus Ridens

Argh, Stephen, Just -- aargh.

Ursus Ridens

Wait just a blinkin' minute, here! How many potential customers are aboard Cubetown? Are the inhabitants largely meat-people or robots? And can slime-girls drink coffee? (We think not.) Anyway, I'm not OK with all this unless we get lots of visiting between the alt-Noho people and the Cubitzns, (Especially if we can get Ms. Lelelalalalulu and Pizza Girl now and then -- take that, mighty Director!)

Some Ed

As it happens, I used to shop at Book Stop back when I lived in Dallas... and before they closed. It was a discount/used book store which I liked because it was not only cheaper for my habit, but also it gave me a way to get rid of the books afterwards that didn't trigger my OCD or whatever it is. The Internet basically killed them before I left. Normally, I went in with a canvas bag full of books, sold them, then perused their shelves until I selected an arm length of books plus a few, bought them and walked out. Their closing sign indicated they weren't buying used books anymore, so the last time I just went in and bought as much as I could carry. And OCD or whatever it is, I still have roughly twice as many paperbacks as I can carry.

Some Ed

Having "universal healthcare" doesn't mean necessarily that they have a good robot hospital/repair shop. Just that if a bot happens to find a hospital/repair shop, any necessary repairs they get are covered. This probably does not cover cosmetic stuff in most situations.

Likeablejerk

Coffee of Doom has many AI customers, so that wouldn't matter. As for Moray, she might be able to consume like either humans OR like typical AIs. Maybe she can enjoy it both ways, leading to a serious coffee habit and a highly caffeinated Goo-gal.

Stelandrum

... and there is always Tea. I recall a strong response AI's have to certain teas.

Steve H

Though I now realized it could have been Marten’s Indie Coffee Relaxation Organization and fit.

Daryl Sawyer

All things come to an end eventually, and I prefer a scripted end, rather than my daily bread gradually turning moldier and moldier, until one day I stop reading in disgust.

Brooks Moses

I don't know if the spiders in the basement can be copied, and they're probably an essential component of something.

Some Ed

I think they looked at what he does for a living. "Oh, a comic, that's nice. Why aren't any of the characters Canadian, eh?" And so, as part of Jeph's citizenship process, we got Emmett. And he went back, and they said, "Oh, but none of your characters are living in Canada. You planning on just leaving as soon as you get your Canadian citizenship?" So now he has to move some characters to Canada. Little does he realize it's a sliding slope, and by the time they're done, they're going to have him move all of the regular cast to Canada.

Some Ed

@Miyaa: with Claire's new salary? No, they'll just hire people to take care of their move for them.

Some Ed

Marten's taken a risk for a lady friend before. You know, like even before the comic started?

Ursus Ridens

I dunno -- just have this ugly mental image of Moray's insides going all brown and cloudy (depending on what, if anything, she'd had in her coffee/

Some Ed

I recall a story about someone who had an older friend who had set up his own business and had done fairly well for himself, until someone came along and bought him out. The older friend wasn't hurting for cash, but he missed the business and didn't like the way the company that had bought him out was doing things, but there was an agreement he'd signed saying that he wouldn't compete. The younger friend said, "I didn't sign that agreement. I could start a competing business." The older friend explained, "You could never start a business that competed with them, they have too much of a head start. Besides, you'd need a business location - you can't just run it out of your home. You'd need loans from the bank to pay for it, because I'm not allowed, per contract, to invest in your business for another four years." and a few other things. So the younger friend went and did all of those things, and then came back and asked about what his friend thought of the idea. The older friend listed a few more issues that the younger friend would need to solve. Back and forth, until finally one day, the older friend said, "You can't start a business because you're too busy running the one you already have."

Seth Swanson

If anywhere is gonna figure out a way to let AIs eat and drink real food it's probably going to be tried (and go comically wrong) on CubeTown first.

Alex Borders

I shopped at Book Stop III in Las Vegas back in the early 90's. I heard it closed around 20 years ago - the owner was in poor health. I vaguely recall that the original Book Stop store(s) that the owner took inspiration from were in Phoenix, but I wouldn't swear to it.

2026-09-07 23:00 is this the start of the cast moving to Cubetown? Dora moves in to corner the coffee market (and makes a mint from easily duped scientists) Faye and Bubbles move in to increase their robot repair business etc. ~<3

Nash Wolfe

I hope not. I was a big Dawson's Creek fan as a teen, and I remember the tension and sadness as everyone got ready to go off to university and split up. Aaaaand then, new season, few episodes in, everyone has switched university to the same town and the entire fucking cast, grandparents and all, has just moved to a new city. Hopefully Jeph is a better storyteller than that. Also Comic is a better medium for multiple locations.

niapri

These two just make me sooo happy 😊

Diptych

Marten has casually mentioned getting engaged before. In a jokey context, but I think it shows it's a natural step for them. They're great together.

Diptych

The comic could just show both locations and have the characters communicate digitally when necessary.

Nick Magnum

Faye will have to build him a dinosaur that poops espresso to really give him the edge on Tims

Diptych

And it went badly and he became cripplingly risk-averse for years!

ValdVin

Upvoted, if only for the barbs which will appear from people who have seen "Tim Horton's" and "poop" in the same sentence.

Wild Card

Coffeehouse of Doom - Canadian Location

Am Queue

No, the hair in the wind is the fan service.

enchantedsleeper

Re-reading this and the previous page, it seems like both Claire and Marten are about to embark on ventures that they're under-qualified for (though Claire is probably more qualified than she thinks, but I think it's a valid assessment considering there's going to be a lot of management skills needed and other things that definitely weren't covered in Librarian School). Hopefully they both find their feet! Also, there's some kind of irony in there considering that most employees in Cubetown are probably ONLY about the qualifications (as in, they have all the degrees and Expertise to their name but nothing else).

Samuel Joseph Schmitz

As soon as Marten went looking for a coffee shop I was hoping the possibility existed for a Coffee of Doom franchise location. Still may not happen, but my hopes are still high.
