And we have our new poll and new WCDT.

[StevenC]

I'm opting for: it was all just a dream and Marten wakes up after his first time with padma. No one ever talks about it.

not really

[dr. nervioso]

I really hope this arc ends this week. All this artificial gravity is making me feel queasy

[Method of Madness]

I'm pretty sure you can't kill someone who's not logged in.

[cesium133]

I'm pretty sure you can't kill someone who's not logged in.

Pintsize logged her in so Dale could kill her.

[Method of Madness]

That would mean Momo's been compromised.

[cesium133]

Wouldn't be the first time... (yes, I know that's a guest strip)

[Carl-E]

I thought you had linked to this one for a minute. 

[cesium133]

That one would work best if it was Pintsize that saw her there.

Wiener touching sounds like a moment of the week to me.

Forgot about that. Maybe THAT'S what happened while they were gone.

[DSL]

Wiener touching sounds like a moment of the week to me.

Hannelore apparently agrees.

... Y'know, the intent was different, but the results are kinda the same as those of Station's prank on Abbie. So what kind of holopony will da H-bomb have to provide in recompense?

[the_shankmaster]

Marten will have to explain to her why what she did was wrong, and she will freak out about it and have an anxiety attack, and it will be decided that that is punishment enough. (Not that it is, but they'll want to calm her down.)

[WAYF]

Gosh, Hannelore really IS dead-set on Marigold and Francis having a reasonable number of babies.

[DSL]

Or ... Hannelore's remorse/horror/shame/whatever for the results of her outburst undoes all or part of the mental-health progress she's made. Potential, if ironic, rescuer: Marigold, who at least attempt to reassure her it's OK. Station just might remote himself into boyfriendbot as an on-site therapist.

Or ... Marigold stands up to Faye.

Or ... Faye forgoes the opportunity to be dickish (I see what I didn't mean to do there).

Or ... This is another one of the seemingly catastrophic setups that revs up the Forum Speculation Engine (yeah, I know, glass houses), but ends in the next day's strip with nothing significantly happening as a result.

[jmucchiello]

Feh. There will be no repercussions from Hannelore embarrassing Marigold what so ever. Zip. Zero. When was the last time Hanners made a social gaffe and was called on it in-comic.

[DSL]

Here, here and here.

[Is it cold in here?]

Pintsize has tampered with Momo before, for example changing her startup sound.

[the_shankmaster]

Marten didn't like Hannelore's "woman of the world" question and he doesn't look happy about this either.

[vsonics]

I have to get some sleep or something but first I had to check if the comic was up.

And then I had to comment on how Hanners looks pretty adorable, but also sort of terrifying with the one-eye-bigger-than-the-other thing she's got going on. Maybe that's just the angle, though.

She may be gently told off for spilling sensitive information like that in such an...insensitive way, but I think if it DOES happen it will be pretty light and probably won't be shown. It's pretty clear that she wasn't trying to embarrass Marigold on purpose, she's just excited for her.

[Carl-E]

I'm with Faye on this one.  Yeah, I know the backstory, but if I were presented with this outburst, I'd definitely have a "need to know" reaction.  (and I don't need to know, thanks, really, I don't...)


I was looking for a "The Less You Know..." spoof logo, but couldn't find one... so,

The Less You Know...

[Lubricus]

Good to be back on the ground. I feel like the little space trip may have cleared the air somewhat for Marten, and it will be interesting to see if Marigold evolves after her new experiences.

[Kugai]

Oh good grief.


Even when totally embarrassing one of her best friends, Hanners manages to look cute.


I think Faye has the right idea about this at the moment - But will need further details in case Francis shows up.








Oh, and so much for my prediction.

[TinPenguin]

Jeph has not made me burst out laughing this hard for a while. The good ol' element of surprise.

But yeah, as cute/hilarious as Hanners is, someone needs to pull the reins on her voyeurism before she breaks loose. Really girl, that's the first thing you say when you walk through the door?

[Akima]

I'm with Faye on this one.

Me too.

[Border Reiver]

Agreed - the next line should be "Drop your stuff and let's get some coffee."

[DSL]

For a while now, Hannelore has reminded me of a (now-former) co-worker: Blonde, tall and scrawny, fussy, cute in some undefinably scary way, devoted, smart but not fully-developed in the discretion department, naive but with some sense of (other-)worldliness and, yes, apt to blurt out the strangest damn thing for no reason that is immediately apparent or logical.

"Marigold touched a wiener!" pretty much cemented the resemblance.

And the lady I'm thinking of wasn't even the strangest person at the place where I used to work.

[DrBear]

Then again, while Marten and Marigold have never been in space before and would be excited about weightlessness, lasers, space ham and so on, it's all old hat to Hanners, so she's going to be excited about something that's never been seen before, right?

[jmucchiello]

Here, here and here.

So at least 700 strips ago, or around 3 years real time? As I said, no repercussions.

[TinPenguin]

That's a good point, actually. For Hanners, the space element of this trip was almost irrelevant. Suddenly her focus on that one detail makes much more sense.

[Black Sword]

I'm joining the Faye bandwagon in how to respond to this.

So, what, two strips catching up with Faye, the rest of the week touching base with the rest of the regulars?

[Carl-E]

Unless Marten gets/has gotten a reply to his text...

[Penheart]

Here, here and here.

[Truec]

Is it bad that, in spite of social faux pas, my first thought was "I guess the next trip they take is going to be to Wienerville"?

[Tobimaro]

Oh wow.  I'm seriously wondering if Hanners has cleaned her foot because she just planted it firmly in her mouth.  Wow.   

[Schmorgluck]

Here, here and here.

You know, I'd almost think you guys are just linking to comics that have Hannelore in them just to get more Hannelore in this thread.

I support this idea wholeheartedly. Life could use more Hannelore-ness.

[Schmorgluck]

Hannelore's outburst shows no more obliviousness to social boundaries than Steve has shown many, many times.

[Blackjoker]

Poor Marigold

[FunkyTuba]

 *chuckle*

[iduguphergrave]

This could be seen as an interesting, somewhat roundabout way of Marigold paying for this bit of embarrassment. But Hannelore wouldn't be that evil.



right?

[jwhouk]

Consider that she IS her mother's daughter...

Also, to add to the painful Hanners moments... *cringe*. Hanners, after saying something so touching, you just don't comment on how...

(Added a now invisible bracket - Method)

[pwhodges]

Momo doesn't like holoponies, it seems!  If Station can operate that remotely, what other implications does this have?

[squab]

HOLOPONY

Holopony will now be a fixed member of the QC-verse.

This is what the entire Internet has felt like to me since the beginning of 2011.
