Moving onto the comic, Hannelore looks like she has got more than just the flu. It kind of looks like chicken pox (or small pox; you never know what Jeph might be thinking) and I think she will need a lot more mothering before she is well again. Also, Dora's hands look really weird in the second panel. I cannot quite put my finger on it, but they just look...weird.

I think Hanners is sweating. She probably has fever with chills - bad news, but nothing overly alarming.
Dora is gripping the blanket in panel 2. I'm sure it's tough to draw that, let alone drawing hands in general...

Yeah, you are probably right about the sweat. I was just hoping for some kind of pox, you know? You never hear enough stories revolving pox. :)
On Dora's hands though, I completely agree that hands are fantastically difficult to draw, but it is just because they line up perfectly with the sides of her body in that panel that raises my eyebrows. Normally, when someone is holding something in front of them, the lines and shading that give a 2D image a 3D appearance would dictate that her hands would appear a little farther apart from the sides of her body because her hands and what she is holding would be closer to the viewer/audience/whatever. I know I am nitpicking, but it still just looks a little odd to me. The only reason I even mention it is because it distracted me for a moment as I reading.
improbability driver:
Oh, Hanners. Keep on being cute, we'll never see it coming.
More Wil on the road, I say! His friends seemed so...charming. Wholesome, even. You don't find men of that caliber where I'm from, certainly.
Rimwolf:
Faye's classical reference definitely tops Penelope's.
LizziL:
As a Classics major I am drooling here.
Why can't my friends and I have witty conversations about historical figures?

hmm i dunno... i like that theyre both great greek references but theyre two totally different peices of literature.... it couldve been better executed had they stuck with the same book
