I will definitely have to memorize todays comic.

Thats how you make your characters start a very, very, very bad idea.

That is so obviously bad it just hurts thinking about it.

And they arent even drunk or anything !

P.s.: And I should definitely stop making predictions what happends next. Apparently I've been consistently wrong the whole week.

You may say that. A Georgia Peach says 'tater.'

And as to the train wreck: hell fucking yes. Sven, your intentions may be pure and I may like you considerably--possibly more than most of the forums besides JackFaerie--but I want to see this train EXPLODE. I want a poll option that simply reads "THE STARS ARE RIGHT" because that is how completely wrong things are going. Agent Turing will have to come back and order an airstrike on the town.

Anyway.
Full points to Sven here. This is, near as I can tell, the first genuinely friendly act he's ever undertaken. He's been nice before, to help his sister or when he was playing cat-and-mouse with Faye, but if he's being genuine? If he really truly wants to do this to be nice to Hannelore? He's actually being a really cool person for this. And helping work through the trust issues by earning a bit of trust from Dora is just a nice bonus.
Assuming it doesn't all go horribly wrong, of course.

Actually, y'know whose reaction I'm looking forward to? Winslow. I mean, he has on occasion been rather possessive of Hannelore... I wonder how he'll feel about her having an actual factual date?

I like the new speech bubbles! They seem better integrated into the panels than the old ones.

Oh, and, I highly doubt this will end in a romance between Sven and Hanners - most probably, we'll just get some Hanners-is-cute from her spazzing out about and trying to behave correctly on the date, maybe see some signs Sven has turned over a new leaf. Even if some feelings did develop between them, it's like Sven said - Hannelore is pretty unlikely to "MAGICALLY overcome her crippling anxieties", and he has hopefully become so mature that he would say no if she did.

Hey, check it out. A 13 year old with no talent took over the word balloon duty! Now, not only is everything emphasized by WRITING IN ALL CAPS A LOT, the word balloons themselves are hideous and look as unprofessional as they ever could!

Why the fuck would you take such a huge step backwards? We won't notice the change in a week? It's so god damned glaring, clunky, and just outright ugly, how the fuck could this happen? No, I daresay it'll only get worse. Freeform word balloons never work in things like this, and there's a reason for that. It looks like you're using it to try and absorb as much background space as possible, whereas before the word balloons only took up enough room to fit the text inside. Here, there's large blank spots and it looks fucking terrible.

Jesus Christ. What type of shitty generic-brand drugs did Jeph have to consume to think this was a good idea? Has he been staring at Penny Arcade and going "...Yeah. Yeah! I could do it sorta like that too!"

Well, I hate to say it, but PA's word balloons are shitty as hell right now, too. So what happens when you try copying shit? That's write, you need to hire a repairman because there are turds in the copier.

I thought it was surprising, but not impossible. Faye is at least a sexual being (fighting her attraction for Marten, among other things). The Faye and Sven pairing also conforms to common pairings in life and other media. The pseudo-intellectual tough girl that actually has feelings getting with the asshole and becoming heartbroken? It happens all the time.

Sven and Hannelore...just with Jeph's comments on Hannelore's sexuality alone, it wouldn't make sense to me.

Tergon · « **Reply #220 on:** 17 Sep 2010, 07:39 »

But again, she's clearly not asexual. She has what she refers to as a "cute boy reflex", she finds guys to be good looking, she likes Yaoi, and she's inquisitive enough to ask questions all the time about sex, relationships, and all manner of other things. She's psychologically unable to have a romantic or sexual relationship with another person, for a wide variety of reasons, but she very clearly wants to be able to. She's outright said as much. All she needs is a way to remove those crippling inhibitions, and a presentable non-threatening person within range.

I'm not saying it wouldn't take a string of coincidence and wacky twists worthy of an M. Night Shamalamadingdong movie. So, rather than turn this into a wall post by repeating myself from earlier in this thread, I'll simply point out that it is absolutely very possible. Horrifyingly traumatic for her, disastrous for everyone involved, heartbreaking for her friends... but one hundred percent possible.

EDIT:
Clarified some things, fixed spellings.

someone1074 · « **Reply #222 on:** 17 Sep 2010, 08:11 »

Tergon, I'm also considering the consistency of Jeph's writing in my posts. I expect at some point down the line Hannelore will be with someone. But it probably won't be Sven (unless this date goes well, and if that's the case I still feel it would take a long time afterward). I agree with your analysis of Hannelore's characterization though. The implication in my post that Hannelore is not a sexual being was unintentional.

What I refer to as impossible is just her having sex with him as of next week. I just feel it would be too far out of line with how the two characters have been written up to this point. Again, considering Jeph's writing. But on that matter I suppose we'll agree to disagree.

Thorbard · « **Reply #223 on:** 17 Sep 2010, 08:21 »

The font change is no big deal, but I think the new word balloons are a bigger problem. Jeph has tried them before and it didn't work then either. Maybe if he constrained the text to better fill the balloons? I'm fairly sure you can tell the text to do that, although I've not done it in Illustrator (which I think Jeph uses for the text).

I'd actually go as far as to say that the new font would suit the old bubbles better. But the bubbles lasted maybe a week last time Jeph tried it? So not too worried there.

As for Sven/Hanners I think its a good thing. I don't suppose they'll get it on, but it'll be a good step on for both of them. And if they do end up together-together (in a together sort of a sense) I can see the relationship working at least as well as Faye/Angus.

Most of all, I just generally like Sven. Especially when he's trying to do the right thing.

raoullefere · « **Reply #224 on:** 17 Sep 2010, 08:48 »

Poll: the Face! Sven's face in #1752. That's the MOTW. ('Cause we gots to have a stupid acronym for it). I suppose I'll have to make do with "Proposition Avoidance Countermeasures!"

As for balloons, I think Jeph was having a hard time keeping Sven's balloon in the fourth panel from looming over the space needed to frame Dora's head/face, or, if he avoided that, from mashing up against Hanners' balloon (It looks to me as though the usual rectangular oblong would've done either one or the other with that amount of text, especially giving the word length (Sven, you polysyllabic devil, you). Plus, to make the dialogue flow, there was nowhere else to put them. As is, Sven's speech had to edge into the panel above. So Jeph said, "Fuck it!*" and drew 'em in.

Or else he got bored. Dude has to try new stuff now and then. Either way, my FTL's remain untwisted. Let us know ya don't like and move on. Save the shit-fits for things that merit them—you know, like couple portmanteaus. Spawn of evil most foul are they, spewed from the dep…

3. As for the new font, I do not like or dis-like it. I do think it needs to be a bit smaller, otherwise the comics are going to get very crowded, or the cast is going to have to talk less or in shorthand (Faye: wtf u had sex w/Sven, Hnrs?

Mojo, I think you missed the point Seven was making. It's not simply that Dora thinks he's been a creep—Sven knows he's been a creep. Otherwise, why would he have to 'live up to that trust'? Not to mention telling Marten not to send any girls his way.

Sure Sven gets point for squiring Hanners, if he follows through, vocal utterances being as inexpensive as they are. But I suspect Sven's going to find this swamp he's made is not as easy to drain as he'd like*. Creep's got to roll up his sleeves and start digging.

*To be fair, I doubt, at least a few weeks (months, how long has it been since Faye and Sven went to hell?) ago, that anything could be as easy as Sven would like it. Man couldn't even take his medicine from the blonde in that bar.

Edit: and if we're giving Bianchis points, howzabout some for Dora for not going psycho? (If she continues to manage to remain calm, that is). I mean, sure she channeled an eldritch horror, but it could've been worse. All it could do would be to take their sanity and souls. Dora's been know to hit people.

As much as I enjoyed all the Cthulhu-invoking and Sven's "god dammit" face, the MOTW for me was still Marten wearing the Hello Kitty belt. ^_^ Who knows, perhaps it has a built-in Cthulhu-repellant.

Regarding today's strip, Sven has a point. It would give Dora, Hanners, and him all the opportunity for personal growth if he goes out on a pretend date with Hannelore. He's been basically celibate for awhile anyway, and he seems to like Hanners in the "aw, she's a cute kid" sorta way. He may have the roundest heels of everyone in the strip (my husband's phrasing, actually -- means most likely to fall into bed with someone), with Tai a close second at least, but he's been deliberately taking a break, something he had intended to embark on before the whole Faye thing. For her part, Dora does need to learn to trust more, and since her trust was broken in part by Sven before, it makes sense to repair things there. And Hanners is continuing to push her boundaries and become more acclimated with things that less-impaired people take for granted. I don't think they're gonna bone, but of course now that I've typed that they probably will. >_>

I too would like to see Winslow's reaction. Partially because he has been possessive before, but mostly because I like Winslow. Wonder what the Cthulhu-summoning will look like in binary . . .

Yes, Sven will no doubt find that, unlike everything in his life so far, redemption does not come easily. Indeed the truly penitent do not want it to come easily, being far harder on themselves than any judge could ever be.

Family, to paraphrase Robert Frost, is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in. Such a burden earns certain privileges.

No, I definitely see your point. All I could argue is that Hannelore is the only character in QC who isn't consistent. Her first appearance she was mysterious confident lady-in-the-bar, then she became creepy stalker, then she became cute girl with OCD, and now she ranges between Little Miss Curiosity, Little Miss Overtly Crazy, and Little Miss Normal. As well as occasionally passing out, threatening to kill people, or even displaying how much she genuinely enjoys fucking with Faye's head. Wrap that girl outside a bottle of booze, throw in a random mood-swing...

But yeah, in truth I'm not seeing it as likely, either. Merely frighteningly possible.

Far more likely is that the two of them will surprise themselves by having a genuinely good time. Sven's testing himself here by showing a nice time to a girl he seems fond of in a completely platonic way, and who he genuinely understands he cannot flirt with - the one time he tried to show off how sexy he was, Hanners literally laughed in his face. So if he wants to be nice to Hanners, he has to, y'know, actually be nice to Hanners. I think he'll like having a night of being a normal, social being with someone who's obviously easy to get along with. And he does have it in him to show Hanners a good time.

Besides, she's so adorable! One thing that nobody can deny is that a girl like Hannelore triggers a very powerful big-brother instinct in a lot of guys. Not meaning overtly nutty ones, I mean innocent little shy things like her. If Sven is seeing Hannelore as not a sex object, then it's going to trigger those big-brother instincts we already know he has. Assuming the date doesn't end in unexpected nekkid shenanigans (which I hope to hell it does not), they might actually wind up pretty good friends after this.

Completely agreed. If you see one of my earlier posts in the topic, I mentioned that I hope and expect that the date will turn out well. Seems like too good of an opportunity for personal growth on both their parts for it to go too badly. And they both seem genuinely willing too.

Certainly, it'll be entertaining at least.

It could certainly turn out well, but Jeph isn't usually that kind to his characters.

Sven's motives? In the past, he took every date as a challenge to get the girl in bed so he could live up (or down) to his reputation. Maybe a "date" where sex is out of the question is exactly what he wants or needs.

To boldly go where no Sven has gone before...

Well...yes.

Considering it's definitely not a souffle pan, I would take Jeph's word for it as well.

I think in the heat of the moment, Faye meant to say saute pan, which is more like what it is, and grabbed the wrong word from her speech cortex. Souffle pans (usually cale souffle dishes) have tall, straight sides and are usually ceramic. Saute pans are... well, skillets. Frying pans. All pretty much the same design.

Potatoe / potato, really.
