Poor Hanners just can't catch a break.

How do you know?

In real-Northampton, it being a small city, there aren't that many clubs - one of them (which is likely also "that gay nightclub down on Pleasant Street," even though it's only sort-of gay) holds a goth-themed Tuesday, and that's the only one I know, and presumably the only one he knows. Of course, neither living in Northampton nor being especially gothic or much of a club hopper, I wouldn't know; moreover, this is not real-Northampton, this is funny-robot-allosaurus-world-Northampton, where there are all the clubs Jeph needs there to be.

Actually, I think it was simply a Hitchhiker's Guide reference.
"It must be Tuesday. I never could get the hang of Tuesdays."

I believe that would make it a Thursday. Of course, it has been some time since the last time I read it.

I just checked (I have the book on my Kindle) and it's indeed Thursday :)

Is it bad that I knew he was wrong without needing to look up the book?
pwhodges:
Not at all.

For comic #1824...
1. Don't Panic. :psyduck:
2. Love Hannelore's hair in panel #1, was kind of hoping that Hanners would be doing a hair-change, in lieu of Dora's year-quarterly (or would be "quarterly-year" for every three months...?) changes.
3. More Hannelore & Miss Reed strips would be great, but we have a lot of QC cast-members to get through while Marten's mom is around. And I think we will be ending this holiday weekend with a Faye & Miss Reed strip.
4. I think Miss Reed's reaction to Hanners, after the initial surprise, is really more of a compliment than a worry. After all, look how far everyone's favorite OCD CoD barista has come since first stalking a heart-broken indie boy, in character development. It should be a relief to Hannelore that her first impression is "normal." (whatever "normal" means... I have yet to find a really good, tangible, definition)
