Hannelore is still cute and innocent-looking even with the smaller eyes.

This seems to contradict my theory that Raven invented the AnthroPC during her days as a child prodigy.

"Thumbdrive" was actually just what came about when someone misheard "cumdrive."

And I guess the next question would be, what were the computer's first words?

"More please."
or
"Kill me."
or
"Massive corn clog in port 7."

Oh no. This makes too much sense. In strip 517, Hannelore said "Besides, I haven't slept in something like four days, so this all might be a hallunication anyway". The weirdness of the QC universe could be completely explained if it's all in Hanners's addled mind.

No. No. I don't want to believe this.

I prefer the term skinjob. It just sounds dirtier than toaster and some of those skinjobs were damn dirty ... like the apes!

This latest art development is definitely an interesting direction and I think I like it! I prefer Hannelore looking more human than her previous huge-eyed look. I think if Jeph carries on down this direction the look could really come together well.

Well sure, because of the similarity to blowjob, handjob, rimjob, and such. But toaster was the applicable term here. And LL is hot in any hair color.

I just have to say that I rather like this new, more realistic look Hannelore has.

Also, I predict that, since the artwork in QC evidently becomes more and more realistic, the moment when Jeph draws his characters with such skill that QC looks like a photocomic heralds the end of QC. After that point, Jeph's skills would change QC from realism to reality, causing the charactes to become physically existent.

Perhaps what's what they wanted us to think. Or perhaps Hannerdad reprogrammed every single anthropc in the world not to reveal Hanners' secret. The BF bot was also a blind. It would go a long way towards explaining Hannelore's change in personality. "Different meds" is okay, but "firmware upgrades" is a much more satisfying explanation.
