--- Quote from: TheEvilDog on 26 Feb 2011, 07:12 ---At this point, I'd actually rather one of the other main characters in some sort of conflict, either from the fallout of the breakup or from their own misadventures.
For example, we all know Dora is "fine" after the breakup, though there are hints that she expects her friends to be abusive towards her, to blame her, etc, and how we expect her to be in therapy. But what if she was confronted with the idea that Marten was getting his coffee from one of her rivals, or that they were getting friendly? Would we see Dora sighing to herself and saying that Marten has moved on, or would we get a typical Dora reaction where she sees something, gets the wrong end of the stick and ends up having to apologise to everyone in the building? Needless to say, thats just one scenario, but there are other possibilities.
It would be kind of interesting to see how the others might react in those situations, but then again, it's Jeph's comic, we're just along for the ride.

Honestly, I've got some similarities to Hannelore - I don't exactly identify with her, because I don't have OCD or any real incarnation of it that I know of. I had some very serious social issues when I was younger and had all sorts of stupid neuroses that would prevent me from interacting like a regular person (for example, if people could see my socks, it would drive me batty, to the point that I couldn't focus on anything else). I've since worked through a lot of them and am better, but they still come out.
People tend to get really frustrated with you, like a lot of the posters are saying here. It's hard when things will just set off your friend into a round of freaking out and you can't really do anything to stop it, and if it happens often, it starts to wear you down, too. Hannelore is lucky in that she's got some very understanding and patient friends. She's fun to read about, and I do enjoy her as a character (I don't have any desire to see her Rule 34'd, though!). I think the thing that makes me like her the best is that she's trying to deal with her issues. I have a lot of patience for people who are putting forth effort. Hannelore has taken risks that scared her, tried new things (her trying different medications and whatnot kind of struck home for me), and had some failures along the way. That makes her a more sympathetic character than someone who's like, "everything is terrible, and it's just going to stay that way! TERRIBLE."
On a similar note, I think that's why many of the characters are sympathetic in the comic, even if you wouldn't like them in real life. Almost all of them are making a conscious effort to try to work through their issues and be better people.
