Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT 2902-2906 (23-27 February 2015)
BenRG:
It looks like that Faye isn't going to find many options to find a new job right now. The chances of something menial or eccentric has increased sharply. Specifically, something that takes Faye in an unexpected direction (for her at least).
Hannelore is also right about confronting Dora. Attempting to avoid uncomfortable and distressing things is more-or-less what got Faye in this situation in the first place. I think that Japh is working us towards that confrontation and maybe Faye making a radical new start. Possibly something that will relate to a newfound desire to confront her problems.
Y'know, I never read the strip titles. I didn't realise that Faye was using Winslow to browse the job boards until the second time that I read through it!

I actually preferred the early Hannelore model. For a long time, Jeph seemed to draw her as a parody of a mentally ill person. She's started to look a lot less weird lately but I think that's mostly Jeph 's art style evolving.

It's funny, I was reading those early strips today and thinking the same thing. Her character had more of an edge then, and I miss that.

But, should they be content? That's debatable.
They're being questionably content.

Maybe it's just me but, in some ways, I consider the WCDT as being a sort of emotional tip jar. I always try to leave a comment just to prove that I appreciate Jeph not just packing up his drawing tablet and doing something else with his creative talent.
Even if, as we have had this week, a fairly run-of-the-mill set of strips, I've still tried to make comments (and made them more substantive than just 'Ooh! Cool comic!'). It's just my way of supporting the process, I guess.

Here's a weird thing: When I read strips 515 and 517 Hannelore has a different voice in my head. Softer, with an edge of affectionate irony. Modern Hanners sounds more like a younger girl, maybe even pre-teenager and her voice, when she's under stress, has a screechy edge to it.

I usually just make sex jokes. Those help, probably.
