--- Quote from: Tova on 10 Nov 2011, 12:12 ---On the topic of Hannelore's reflexes, it seems to me that Hannelore saw what was coming back in panel 4. She is preparing the gag in the very next panel. Why else do you think Marten is thanking her? He saw it coming as well.
--- End quote ---
I wondered that too, based on Hanners' facial expression. Whether she was simply reacting to the "stuff Pintsize in the cupbord" remark, or foreseeing trouble ahead. Either way, Hanners still moved very quickly. She didn't get any "off-screen" time to prepare. The reading order of the speech-bubbles in the last panel is a bit tricky, especially with that strong vertical line in the middle tending to direct the eye down from Padma's line to Marten's, but I can't think of another layout that would work better.
Tova:
Yeah, I agree that there probably isn't a better layout - it was just that vertical line that fooled me into thinking it was two panels.
Is it cold in here?:
Generalizations about any group which includes both Paris Hilton and Marie Curie are doomed from the start.

Men have a more linear "get from point A to point B" thought process. Women, in general, aren't as concerned about getting from point A to point B as they are about how they feel about point C.

I don't read that as anything other than saying women are logically impaired.
--- End quote ---
No, they aren't, just as men aren't "feelings impaired". In the US, at least, men haven't been "taught" to be concerned about feelings, just as (it seems, anyways) that women haven't been "taught" to have a linear thought process.
A lot of the problems that come up from this issue, though, do tend to diminish when people talk to each other - without judging or jumping to conclusions.
(Psst: don't go there, I'm a counselor. Really.)
