...She may never have been able to hug her father before.
Now THAT would be a birthday present to remember!
Yarin:
aww so cute
Soulsynger:
Hannerdad's left trouser pocket in panel 2 was forgotten and feels terrible because of it.

Yeah, something about the comic just didn't hit my adorable bone right, and I'm pretty sure that that's it. The beginning is really sweet, but then they're all just lookin' at them. Thank goodness Potter came in to save the day.
I couldn't help but wonder how many of them actually know Hanners either. Obviously she grew up on the station and we know that a lot of the older scientists and workers there do, but some of them look pretty young. Having them just staring at a girl they only know as "the boss's daughter" like that is even odder.
Also pointing out the differences between the panels made me notice the person on the left with their back to the scene. Also strange.
All in all, though...pretty cute. The HannerHug and having Marigold turned in towards the Science Man like that made up for some of the creepy.

I started showing OCD symptoms before I could even walk and talk (even though nobody realized that's what it was until I figured it out a few years ago). Because a person with OCD is born with it, I'd guess she probably started early on in her life, too. She'd be lucky if she made it to three without showing weird signs. It also depends on how her neuroses changed over the years. Most of mine have stayed pretty constant, but I had a few things that have dropped off or changed into something else. Therefore, it is possible she lasted a little longer, but I find it unlikely. If she was a strong germophobe like that as a teen, I'd guess you're probably pretty close with age four or five. I started having very minor germophobic tendencies around the same time (kindergarten, I'd say), and she probably became aware of germs before I did (because of her family) and was smart enough to understand what they were and what they could do early enough that it's possibly been a fear for her for longer than she can remember.
Of course, this is all purely conjecture, but I feel like it is an educated enough guess that it should help to some degree.
