This is from ages ago but....
« on: 18 Oct 2010, 14:20 »
Will we ever find out more about what hanners is doing with marten's thumb-blood (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1607)? She mentions a bit of genetic testing (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1609) but it's never brought up again. Could make for a funny strip. First post, sorry If I did something horrendous by accident :<

So far it looks like one of those one-off jokes, like the condoms in the couch. Speculating would be fun, though.

Could be a one (or two) off, or Jeph might pick it up and run with it someday, if he wants.  He likes to keep us guessing. :)

Genetic testing takes a while.  With the pace of the comic, the results will be back in 2017 or so...

She's going to count the white blood cells.

If it wasn't for the fact that it's from even longer ago, maybe Hannelore is working on a replacement for her last voodoo doll.  The way she tossed off the genetic testing though, sounds more like she's considering Marten as a future sperm donor... maybe that's why she's been working the pretend date angle recently?  She wants to steal Marten from Dora!

Fascinating! But then she'd have to take care of a baby, messy business that. Unless she's figuring to hire nannies.

Disturbingly enough the sperm donor part occurred to me, too. Stealing not. The way I read the looks on the faces of others in strip 1609, Dora's in particular, it felt like they figured out what had happened, got the drops of blood destroyed, and made sure that Hanners understood this to be a no-no. My theory is that in order to save Hannelore from further embarassment Jeph didn't show this on camera.

For a donation, she doesn't need to steal Marten, just one of the condoms.  Unless she actually wants Marten....

All depends on how devious Hannelore actually is.  I mean, after all, it's totally possible that the real Hannelore is just like her mother and she's just deviously playing off the whole innocent and cutesy look for the sympathy and the harmless aura it gives her! (Not truly serious about this... at least... not much)  More to the point, knowing the crew, they probably just pointed out to her that the genetic tests were not a "normal" thing to do, and that she shouldn't be doing that sort of thing.  The cast does tend to walk a little bit on eggshells around Hannelore, giving her the benefit of the doubt more often than not.  She's everyone's favorite little kid sister that gets away with (could be literally) murder!

Maybe she's planning a test-tube fertilization and paying a gestational surrogate.

No mess, no fuss! 

Then you raise the kid with nannies...

Wait, what was the point again?  Having children is usually more than just propagating your genetic material.  And I think Hanners may actually suspect some of her problems are genetic. 

Maybe she wanted an example of the DNA of a well balanced person just for the sake of comparison to her own...

Well, she did start out by stalking him (#525, #528, and #529)...
