--- Quote from: Blackjoker on 17 Mar 2011, 23:14 ---I actually wonder if the owner of the building uses duplicate locks for certain floors. It's unlikely that Hannelore would leave her door unlocked so maybe what happened was just that they went to the wrong floor and Faye's key actually matched Hannelore's. Either that or the landlord uses the same key for every room and prays no one ever thinks to test it.

FYP. Hanners lives upstairs from Marten and Faye. I think Angus and Marigold live in a different building.
But your theory explains how Hanners is always going into Marten's place, too. I'm guessing they may have copies of each other's keys, in case of emergency, and lucked into usong the wrong key on the right apartment....

--- Quote from: jwhouk on 17 Mar 2011, 17:24 ---That top one is what I think is called a "surface-mounted deadbolt". It's pretty common in apartment buildings as a third lock. It can only be opened (theoretically) from the inside, by turning the knob on the main lock base. I do believe that Jeph put the knob on the wrong part of the door, but that's picking nits.
EDIT: Here's an example of what I'm talking about. The knob should actually be on the door, not on the frame.

Actually, it's looks more like a vertical deadbolt, aka a Segal lock.
But yeah, installed backwards. With the cylinder on the doorframe, how the hell do you unlock it from outside?
--- End quote ---
it's possible that it's mounted that way to prevent unlocking from the outside. ie to keep her safe from people with lockpicks and/or copies of her key when she's at home, rather than to keep burglars out when she's away.
or maybe jeph just made a mistake.
jwhouk:
I'm betting that's not even what Hanners is going to be angry about.

--- Quote from: muffin_of_chaos on 17 Mar 2011, 22:59 ---Sure do seem to be a lot of comics lately with punchlines involving the total magnificence of Faye's boobs.
--- End quote ---
Enough that a thread was made about them, yeah. Jeph seems to be obsessed with her breasts. It's getting too easy to distill Faye's character to "the busty girl with emotional problems". I suppose as far as cheap punchlines go, you could do worse, but it's a stale joke by now.
Carl-E:
To be fair, that thread was made as a joking response to a series of "What are so-an-so's fundamental characteristics?" that came up during the breakup arc, when people were trying (desperately) to channel some of the flood of melodrama away from vitriol.
It didn't work, and more than one thread was locked down by moderators. But after a lot of discussion of Dora's problems, Marten's ... niceness, and Marigold's issues, someone (hell if I know) thought this would lift the mood a bit.
It did.
Well, it lifted my mood, iif you catch my drift, wink wink, nudge nudge, saynomore...
