Jeph used the wrong window background for panel 2. Or the station is orbiting REALLY fast.

That change would not result from orbiting. Remember that the station is spinning to great artificial gravity. The rate of spin is about 1RPM (or 2RPM, if the residents have adjusted to slightly higher Coriolis). At this instant the axis (and hence also the windows on this side of the station) is pointing towards Earth. If we assume 1RPM and 15 seconds between panels 1 and 2, then the scene would have rotated 90 degrees, which looks about right. If we assume 2RPM, then 7.5 seconds is enough. Agree that panels 3 and 4 don't match this.
The direction of the axis goes a full circle once per orbit. Notice how in the previous strip (presumably 10-15 minutes earlier) you could see the Earth's edge from the window indicating that the axis of the spin was not pointing straight down at that time.
Of course, there is no reason for Jeph's drawings to follow the laws of physics :-)
Is this horse dead, yet?

I have always been the classic under-achiever. :cry:
But none-the-less I am working rather than retiring; planning a new business venture (though not doing it yet); continuing to acquire new skills and knowledge.
StevenC:
56? Great Scott Hanners, do you know what that means?
I see her dad as doc Brown, yeah.
SomeCanadianWeirdo:
Given Hannelore's age and his age there could actually be some older Hannersibs around. But I think it's more likely he didn't actualy have sex until he met her mother, simply because he was "too busy" to get around to losing his virginity. A story about how they met would be very interesting. It also brings up the question of how old her mom is. She looks like she's probably younger than he is, but given her fortune she could afford the best facelift money can buy.

Actually, I think that quite often; I know exactly how he feels and have somewhat the same reaction at times.

I, meanwhile, am making excellent use of my limited lifetime. :cry:

That...that struck way too close to home. :psyduck:
Having now seen Hannerdad as contrasted with Hannermom, I absolutely CAN NOT picture those two getting together under any circumstances.
Actually, only one circumstance: Hannermom using sex and procreation as a corporate merger tactic. And *that* might explain some of Hannelore's many, many issues, if at heart she knows that's the reason she was conceived.
Oh god, I'm fan-fic-ing without even trying.
