I do believe Tina qualifies for 'Good to the Last Drop' status...
Makes ya want to lick the cup AND the saucer...

Ah, the double entendre was unintentional, of course.

I think Tina might be a bit beyond her expiration date.

Though she does offer good evidence for the preservative effects of coffee and tea.

I think she looks as fresh as the day she was...brewed? Decanted?
Maybe kneaded and allowed to rise?

So, given the mutability of time in the Wapsi Square universe ...
... and given Tina's stature as a group / coven / gaggle of demons who are fundamentally quantum-based and time-independent ...
... could
this sort of role be the eventual destiny of Tina 3.0 / Whitewing?

Perhaps Tina is secretly an administrator on this website, or at least is exercising her influence over one of the administrators. . .

I wonder if she was just resting, after a prolonged squawk?
A lucky women she was! I wonder whether it will ever be accurately known, just what her actual medical condition was throughout this period.
"Catalepsy" seems to apply, but I don't think that condition is at all well-understood. I do recall reading that at some point in history, people had such a fear of the idea that they would suffer from catalepsy and be mistakenly buried alive, that the well-to-do arranged to have their coffins and graves equipped with an alarm system. Bells were placed up above ground, with pull-string systems to the coffin, so that they could signal for help if they awoke underground after having been interred. I can't recall whether any such system was ever actually used. Possibly a very lucrative racket for the providers of coffins and grave goods and etc... "Surely you care for your loved ones enough to provide them with the best protection against becoming un-dead that money can buy?"
