sitnspin:
I'm surprised Hanners is handling the sight of blood so well.
SleeperCylon:
'Heteronormative' is such a loaded classification. It's got the subtext that anyone who isn't as progressive as you are is ignorant. Having that kind of judgmental attitude plays right into the hands of the Rush Limbaughs of the world. It hands them a cudgel to cast all progressives as radicals or elitists.
Then again, Tai is a character with a very solipsistic worldview. She probably does think anyone exclusively hetrosexual is just closed minded.
Is it cold in here?:
She seemed to be OK with Marten not being into guys (#1024).
As early as panel 1, it was noticeable how relaxed and confident Hanners was (yay!). She's making progress, or the environment was good for her, or she's changed medication again. EDIT: speaking of medication, imagine Marigeek on the drugs Hannelore was on in strip 515.
I thought xkcd nerds were different from anime nerds? There could be overlap of course.
If I understand the newspost correctly, the comic is based on what Jeph encounters at cons.
The plural of "die" is "dies" in the metalworking business.

nah I think she was just hoping that her favorite writer would write something she could identify with more...or something like that haha.
Aegir:
I know we're kind of off the subject, but I hate the way people use plural words as singular words and then pluralize them further. Two examples of this are "alumni" and "ravioli", which are both plural, the singular forms of which are "alumnus" and "raviolo". I hear "alumnis" and "raviolis" all the time.
