You don't rewind cassettes, you flip them and listen to the other side.
Same with vinyl.
VHS or betamax videocassettes needed to be rewound.
Of course, I grew up with my dad's reel-to-reel as part of the stereo system - he was a '50's technophile. Tapes of Maria Callas at the Met and the Goon Show off the BBC via shortwave.
"That's not irrelevant, it's a hippopotamus!"
And all my tape splicing experience made repairing broken cassette tapes pretty easy.
Oh, the comic? This is Hanner's version of "the talk". A sad childhood, and Marten's attempt to make her feel better.
Of course, she is pretty rad.
Tormuse:
EEEeee! I love that last pair of panels! :D It really captures the dynamic between Hannelore and Marten. (Er... That squee sound wasn't meant as a ship or anything like that; I don't want anyone to eye-laser me!) :|
@Carl-E, I like your sig quote. I hope you don't mind if I reuse it elsewhere. :)
EDIT: Also, looking over the posts about cassette recorders and vinyl makes me feel better about my age. It's nice to know there are other people, like me, who remember those things. :)
Blyss:
Appropriate response Hanners is just adorable. And I love that she takes the compliment, and blushes instead of freaking out. She's just so damned cute.
Somnus Eternus:
Awwww, Marten's such a good friend. :-)
Ascension:
While I agree with the general sentiment for the moment, and further agree Marten is probably not ever going to be a good choice for it, I think it does Hannelore a disservice to presume she's incapable of a non-platonic relationship. We've seen her reaction to the firemen, yaoi, the 'party favors,' etc... she's not asexual. She's got a lot holding her back, but the assumption it's never going to happen just feels like a misplaced attempt to keep her "innocent."
