Except one, maybe: Obelix. The other, stronger examples I had in mind were Athanagor Wurlitzer and Jean-Claude Tergal.

My bad for choosing comics named after their main character - How's Obelix a bad example - all he wants is a home cooked meal, maybe a little mead...

and a good recreational fight or 2

Damn, of all the guys Hanners had to choose for her first date, she had to choose the stereotypical player. And no one else has pointed out this out yet, but Hannelore is exactly Sven's usual type-tall skinny and blonde. Yeah he made an exception with Faye, but that was mainly because Faye basically jumped him.
This will not end well.
Is it cold in here?:

Adult children of alcoholics have an exaggerated need to control their surroundings, because during their formative years it was the only way to be safe.
Dora's parents are not alcoholics, and we don't know if their heavy weed use interfered with their parenting, but we can speculate.
Dora needs to be her own boss, she is at least a yenta to her friends, and so on.
Alternatively she's just trying to steer Hannelore away from a dangerous situation, like any friend would. I could buy that. On the other hand Hannelore is saying "I don't want you to be mad at me".

--- Quote from: merv on 20 Sep 2010, 00:21 ---I don't think Dora is uncomfortable with the Sven/Hanners date because of her "issues" with him. I think it's because of his previous horrible treatment of Faye and the awkwardness that followed.

--- Quote from: Tergon on 20 Sep 2010, 01:38 ---Sven has a long-running history of basically ruining the lives of the ladies he dates, to the extent where Dora has quite explicitly told him, "Do not date any of my friends!" The one time she let him break that rule, well, we all know what happened with Faye.

Wait, what? Sven treated Faye horribly and ruined Faye's life? Really? From where I'm standing, it looks like Faye not only got over some of those roadblock issues she was having with intimacy, she also grew enough to be able to start to date Angus. Even Sven himself gives the appearance of trying to better himself. It was a really bad situation but so far we've seen positive growth from it.
And even if Dora is convinced that Sven is going to get Hanners drunk and totally take advantage of her, I think that she doesn't know that Sven's aware Hanners if off limits that way. I don't think Sven is honestly that dumb/that cruel. (But I can see Dora thinking he is, because from her point of view that's entirely how he is.)
What I can see happening is something similar to what happened with Gina Riversmith. Sven actually doesn't make a move on Hanners per se, but they both get drunk, and Hanners herself gets curious and makes a move and Sven is too far gone to stop her, like he might have if he weren't trashed. Sven would get blamed for having the alcohol there to begin with, but 1, I could see Hanners insisting on it because it's part of a typical date, and 2, I'm not sure he knows just how much her OCD defenses fall when drunk. Then again, maybe she'll just fall asleep?
