What if they gave a Rapture and nobody came?

More to the point, what if they gave a Rapture and nobody left?

--- Quote from: LoveJaneAusten on 23 May 2011, 14:40 ---There is something distinctly uncomfortable (and not in a humorous way) about Hannelore not having the wherewithal to do anything but stand there waiting for Faye. "Hanners is awkward" is a pretty well-worn punchline, but today's was more like "Hanners is infantilized".

Well the first panel of 1925 implies that Faye and Padma are leaving right then without saying a word to Hanners or Elliott. Since they didn't give them a specific time frame when they'd be back, Hannelore's in a bit of an awkward position. If she tried to go back after Faye'd been gone awhile, she'd run the risk of either missing her at CoD, or running into Faye on her way back, which would also end in awkwardness. So really, it's a case of being stuck somewhere because your friends weren't specific enough about when they'd be back.
Coolfusis:
I'm gonna agree with iduguphergrave, on Hanners not wanting to leave because she didn't know when Faye or Padma would return. It would be as though one of your friends suddenly got up to run to their house and get something. You know they're returning, but you don't know when, so you're faced with a choice: go after them, which would be kinda weird (after all, they could be coming right back, in which case you look really clingy), or wait there until they return, which is what Hanners did.
It really makes sense when you consider Hanner's tendency to over analyze, and the behaviors of people with social anxiety. If put in the same spot, I'd probably wait right there for awhile, seeing if they came back, before I'd text/call. Someone with severe anxiety might not want to even do that, for fear their friends would think them too clingy.
Nick and Marla:
Faye and etc. came back so obviously that was plan. They figured shed be cool waiting. Wasn't. Lead to comic. Overanalyzing is cool too I guess.

Or just put 'em on ice in the back of your truck and drive home. By the time you get there, they've drowned in the air and you can gut them easily.

Eh, only about 95% true. I've seen a few fish that have sat on open ice for 10+ hours (we take ice fishing seriously in Minnesota) start to twitch once they've thawed after being brought into a warm room for flaying. Granted, they're not jumping off the block, but seeing a 20+ inch half frozen fish suddenly go U-shape as it's being flayed will surprise anyone.
