--- Quote from: jmucchiello on 01 Mar 2012, 14:27 ---I have to remember that my experience with QC is somewhat artificial since I didn't find QC until January when I archive binged it in about 5 days. It probably reads very differently to someone who read through the years.

Many of us have done just that. I'll own up to having done it twice since December. I liked the characters when I picked it up, liked them at the beginning and on the read-throughs they became like part of my family -- easy enough since I'm in my 70s, widowed a year ago. Try it from the top. Give yourself a week or so. Enjoy!

You misunderstand. I first encountered QC in January of 2012. Five days later, I had read the whole archive. My history with Hannelore is only 1 day shorter than my history with Faye or Martin. Faye's shocking reveal in 504 happened only a couple weeks ago and only 1 day before I was introduced to Hannelore. My view of the strip is highly compressed compared to someone who first encountered the strips years ago.
Archive Binge is a phrase meaning "reading a long archive of webcomics (or a blog) is short period of time".
Is it cold in here?:
OK. It makes sense that she got a string of inappropriately selected and therefore useless human therapists. Dr. Buenvenida seems to be better at compassion than some schools of therapy would encourage.
If so, it's another notable characteristic of the QC world that an AI was better able to relate to someone on a human level than the surrounding humans were.
not2b:
In our world, a therapist who had treated Hannelore would not be permitted to share the details with others, it would all have to be held in strictest confidence. Either the rules in the QC universe are different, or else Hannelore gave explicit permission to the doctors to tell Martin and Marigold all about it and the therapists concluded that sharing the information would be helpful to Hannelore. And I guess as her best and closest friends everyone might agree that this is a good idea. But I could see all kinds of ways it could go wrong.
Or maybe there is just no medical privacy in QC-land because the AIs know everything so it's no use.

I would think archive binge meant more like rereading all or part of the archives, and to read/watch something the first time is like a marathon, just like you're marathonning through a tv show the first time, one that already had several seasons. Well I know I did when on that April fools day when xkcd redirected here.
Seeing that she was restrained often when she was there, I wonder if she doesn't have any negative feelings/memories about her room, I would be if I was restrained for extensive periods.
