--- Quote from: The Seldom Killer on 07 Apr 2011, 23:22 ---A little surprised there. I would have thought that Hanners would have made an exception on the hand-shaking for a robohand. Surely those things are unlikely havens for disease, bacteria and other germs.

Who knows where that thing's been? Hannelore doesn't want to buy the chassis, ya know.
Sigh. No. Still not right.
Is it cold in here?:
Guessing that Hannerdad didn't invent AnthroPCs, based on two inconclusive lines of evidence.
When Winslow asked where AnthroPCs came from, Hannelore didn't say anything about family connections to their origin.
In the boyfriendbot arc, Hannelore described her dad's interest in robotics as being a more recent thing.
Deadlywonky:
Could Clinton's arm have been a reacent thing? possibly with JEC being the creator, it would explain his reaction to finding out who Hanners is.
Tetrinity:
Heh.
Panel 2 is eerily reminisicent of Veronica in panel 3 of http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1831
Same facial expression, identical wording, same slightly negative reaction (though for different reasons). Maaaaaajor deja vu there...
As for Hannelore's handshake with Veronica while refusing to shake Clinton's hand, remember that Hanners was clearly trying to impress Veronica, and had probably spent several hours preparing herself for the moment. Clinton, on the other hand (pun not intended...), was entirely unexpected. She had no time to prepare, so couldn't deal with the handshake. The continuation of the conversation probably didn't help things.
no one special:
--- Quote ---John Ellicott-Chatham

Interesting that Hanners' father hyphenated his last name. Not that's it's totally unheard of, but it's not super-common. Especially considering that Hanners' mom, Beatrice, didn't hyphenate her last name, and that she hates anyone mistaking her name for anything other than Ms. Chatham. One might consider her single name could be the result of a divorce, but it seems more to me that it's simply because she is not only fiercely independent, but also fiercely proud of her Chatham heritage.
We already know she's not the motherly type, and that nannies did most of the mothering. We also know (from the previous link) that Hanners wanted to stay with her dad after the divorce, so we can assume that they were decently close, or at the very least closer than Hanners and her mom. Maybe he wanted to hyphenate his name so that he could feel closer to Beatrice, or at least try to get as close as she would allow (which clearly wasn't very close, since they rarely had sex (again, previous link). It makes sense that Hanners would take his name, since she lived with him after the divorce (once again, previous link).
Anyways... it's interesting!
