It is indeed one of them, I think. Simplified, but still.

Alphonse Mucha was the artist, and he did at least two versions of the seasons, along with a huge amount of advertising work.
But the style, as I mentioned in an earlier post, is called Art Nouveau, and he's not the only practitioner - it was a bona-fide movement at the turn of the last century. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec springs to mind.

Edit: Jeph's QC seasons

I fervently hope and pray that you are right. I like Hannelore as a character enough to hope that maybe one day she could find someone to be happy with, but at the same time I know it could never be done without breaking character, unless she meets someone else who prefers not to make physical contact. Then they could have an emotional intimacy, perhaps. Maybe even some hugs.
The current series of comics have been entertaining enough. The various coffee shops were fun, this place is good for a giggle. I still would like to see some evidence of an actual shift in the plot direction though. A few light-hearted comics doesn't really change the fact that nothing good has happened to some of these characters in a few dozen strips. Obviously that's not true of everyone; some people are happy enough, but Marten, and Dora have suffered enough. The fallout has even affected Faye and Hannelore, although I think most of the time Faye is probably cheerful due to Angus.
Just to check, it's only been a couple of nights in comic-time since she last spent some time with Angus, right? This whole drama situation hasn't been keeping them apart? That would suck, because their relationship is still in the formative stage.
SJCrew:
I think you guys go way too far in assuming what Hanners can and cannot do. She's surprisingly capable when it gets down to it. It's like you guys see her as some sort of one-trick pony that can't do anything besides OCD OCD OCD. She has been improving a lot lately and has practically embraced the non-OCD world she lives in to where she can finally start doing some of the stuff that normal people like to do. Like dating. And falling in love.
As for Marten taking Hanners for himself....eh, no. As cute a couple I think they'd make, this is just not the right time for either of them now. But I do think that Hanners will eventually get her shit together and by the time she does, I'm hoping Marten is also single.

Even if I assume that Hannelore is capable of all that a relationship entails, and even if I assume that she has the desire for a relationship, I don't see them as a match. They are great friends, but I think both of them need something entirely different in a partner. I would love to see Hannelore happy with someone, but not Marten. Since I've said that, I'm sure it will now come to pass. It seems by now a given that where I would prefer the comic to turn left, it will almost inevitably turn right.
