Hannelore??
britMonster:
Oh god, thats so funny mustang. I would like to illustrate it.
Also, more on topic. I don't know what you know about psychology Sooozie, but simple objects like the worry hat can calm people down. Hannelore has a severe case of OCD and probably some other psychological problems. Marten showed he cared that she was worried. Yes it was childish, but just because she is a grown woman does not mean she cannot smile over something so simple.
When I was young my mother used to have "monster spray" that turned "monsters" into pennies. So whenever I'd get scared of "monsters" she'd go in the room, spray it and put several pennies on the ground. It was a neat little trick to calm me down.
Marten's worry hat is quite the same. It wasn't the idea of the worry hat that calmed her down, it was the fact that Marten cared. Also, about her crying over hitting her head on the cabinet. The woman had blood running down her face. I know a few grown men who would cry if they hit their head that hard.
Also, how many people on the forum were like "cool a worry hat!" Things like that can be ok even if you're an adult.
And frankly, if you're going to stop reading the comic because you think a few strips are stupid. . . then ok, bye. . . no one is going to try and stop you.
Border Reiver:
Many grown people rely on simple objects as talismans for psychological protection. Who among us has not had a "lucky" object at one point or another? I myself have a number of rituals and objects that I always carry out or have with me when I go out into the fields to carry out some "long distance landscaping".
The presence of such objects/rituals is indicative of "magical" thinking, but at our hearts humans are still the primitive creatures, jumping at what might be the sounds of the wolf in the dark and clutching at that special rock or branch tht will keep us safe.

I get that she has problems, I get that she had a bad childhood, but a "worry hat?" Why don't you have one of the characters get knocked up so there's a REAL child to feature? Sorry Jeph...it's just a little too weird.

Maybe you should shut it. And if you don't like where the comic is going, stop reading it. I mean, like, now-ish. Maybe you should just get knocked up to fill up your free time, no?
(not to be mean, but seriously. stop bitching)

Maybe if you read the original post properly instead of lashing out in a huff you'd realise that the poster said he loves the comic, but dislikes the current arc.
Cartilage Head:
The thing I have never understood is "If you don't like it, stop reading it."
How would you know if you liked it if you stopped reading it I mean come on.
