The どゃ portion

Notice that the や is basically the same font size as the ど. This is not どゃ, where the small ゃ is meant to indicate a palatalized glide attaching to the consonant of the previous mora, but rather どや. I'm vaguely familiar with the adverb どやどや used to describe lots of people milling or rushing about; I wonder if it's used here to indicate the focus of the "camera" rushing towards the character.

Update: As explained by Chocolate in the comments, this どや is not from どやどや, but rather from the Kansai-ish どや that is equivalent to Kanto どうだ, as used in the expression どや顔【がお】. Literally "how's-that face", it's a bit like the English expression "how ya like (it / that / me) now", also used to indicate smug self-satisfaction.

The でぇ portion

I'm not sure about the でぇ portion. I suspect this is used to highlight the self-satisfied smug expression on the character's face, but that is only my intuition.

The でぇ portion appears to be the extended version of sentence-final で, the Kansai-ben equivalent to Kantō-ben emphatic sentence-final particle よ.

Any comments to clarify or correct the above would be most welcome.

    Couldn't でぇ in this context then be the Kansai-equivalent to the emphatic particle よ? (see e.g. ガキの使いやあらへんで！)

    Boolicious, 疑問詞に関西弁の「で」は付かないので、「どや+関西弁『で』」にはならないと思います。（「どう+よ？」「どこ+よ？」「なに+よ？」「誰+よ？」はいいのにねえ。）

    う～ん・・「どう+や+で。」「どこ+や+で。」「なん+や+で。」「誰+や+で。」はアカンなあ・・・　「どうやねん/どやねん」「どこやねん」「なんやねん」「誰やねん」はええねんけど。関西弁で、疑問文は「で」で終わらへんねん。（「どうだよ」「どこだよ」「なんだよ」「誰だよ」はいいのにねえ・・・）

    関西弁の「どや」っていうのが、近年、関東（全国？）でも俗語で「どや顔」って感じで使われるようになって、この漫画の「どやでぇ」の「どや」も、その俗語の「どや顔」の「どや」なんですけど、この「でぇ」は関西弁の「(～や)でぇ」では（文法的に）ありえないんですが、これを描いた漫画家さんがどういう意図で書かれたのかは、わかんないです。
