Claire can try and teach her the joys of reading as she desperately tries to escape.

Succeeds after a frog based distraction.

[chaospersonified]

Claire succeeds, or Sam succeeds? Because I'm having a lot of fun figuring out how a frog based distraction could get someone to read. I'm seeing a singing frog doing a performance of the Reading Rainbow theme

With a French accent for some reason. All frogs, in my mind, have french accents. It's like, a thing

[Gladstone]

She's ALREADY an older sister, and not a cool one, especially, at least not to Clinton.

Hey, it's not Claire's fault she has a dorky little brother!  Although that dorky little brother has a robot hand, so Sam's loyalties may be further tested.

Excuse me, but there's a Michigan J. Frog here to see you.

[chaospersonified]

Excuse me, but there's a Michigan J. Frog here to see you.

It is a magical hat that removes his accent. Find me a clip oif him talking with the hat OFF and I shall recant my heresy.

I actually agree that Clinton's a dork, but it's genetic. They are BOTH dorks. Sam is NOT a dork, though she might get into the hand, you bring up a point. Oh god, and she knows how to use a blowtorch now. I want them to meet just so I can see what happens.

[Akima]

Isn't a crowbar more a tool for breaking into the liquor store?

It's a 7.5 lb. steal bar

I see what you did there.

[Gladstone]

And considering Sam's fascination with robotics, plus the fact that she has a big sister/little sister relationship with Emily, who is also fascinated with robotics AND might be dating Clinton in the near future...oh god, Claire doesn't stand a chance.

That's it, I want a Sam-meets-Claire-and-Clinton arc and I want it NOW VERY SOON.

[Sir Wheatley]

I don't quite understood why we are frogs! Because we eat them? (never tasted)

Can't get enough of Hannelore, she's like a godess to me now! A godess who were sleeping and waited her reincarnation!

I mean she treatens to beat the shit out of Faye by courtesy and she's still Hanner-able!

I wonder if the support group could trigger something in Hannelore's brain and make her worse IF she's with Faye for the first session.

[valkygrrl]

Comic.

Maybe support groups wouldn't be so bad if they were all across the street from a taco place.

[MooskiNet]

Hanners' expression in panel 4 makes the entire comic.

[osaka]

Hannersface kinda says "You know I am Beatrice's daughter after all right".

Actually, isn't that the contempt face that Faye herself taught Hanners to make to certain customers?

Warning - while you were typing two new replies have been posted. Your point is now old news, and shall perish in flames

[qc001]

It's more of a weapon for defense against headcrabs.

Do you mean Gordon?

'S funny, I could've sworn his name was Gary.  Turns out there are two of them! (Or maybe his name is Gary Gordon! Or Jeph forgot and the caption is wrong...)

[Aziraphale]

Depends whether you have the tacos before or after group. I'd imagine that taco farts wouldn't be particularly conducive to a good discussion.

[Zebediah]

Tough Hannelore is tough. Do not fuck with Tough Hannelore.

Before of course. After the group everyone would be going for tacos and then you'd be seen with them.

[Aziraphale]

And what else goes with support groups? Coffee. The thought of coffee and tacos combined makes my intestines quake with fear.

[Is it cold in here?]

Tacoffee of doom.

Wimp

Don't be so judgmental! I'm sure Aziraphale is a tough person! Their bowels, though...

[Tova]

I was more intrigued as to whether the taco place and the yoga place had some kind of business arrangement.

[Consilium]

Tacos on the yoga mats warrant a few hygienic concerns.

[Kugai]

Sometimes it takes tough love - and a Crowbar.

[Aziraphale]

If that's the case, you need more fiber in your diet.

[Kugai]

A 2x4?

[BenRG]

You have to wonder just how long Faye has been rehearsing that in her head; how long she'd been casting around for a reason to avoid this meeting. It's just an indication of how afraid she is to confront her demons, her past and the degree to which they control who she is today. Obviously, on a certain level, she knew that she was going to try to back out; that's why she gave Hanners the crowbar!

It's a great bit of characterisation, overall and reminds us the depth Jeph can put into his strips.The characters' expressions, especially in panel 4, were brilliant. Especially Hannelore's 'disrespect not the crowbar' glare!

Now, residents of real-life Northampton: Where in your town are our heroines tonight?

I had the same thought, and I made an account and everything just to post a crappy photoshop haha!

[Akima]

Hanners' "Nope, not buying your bullshit." face is wonderful.

[Thrillho]

Just realised Faye's shirt. Love it.

[MrNumbers]

What are the bets Hannelore starts treating this crowbar like a security blanket?

Cuddling it to sleep at night just in case. Just in case. Home invasion, Pintsize interlude, Friendship Emergency, more people making out so hard they end up on her couch by mistake.

I am not a resident, but nerdy as I am, I took to the streets of Northampton using Google Street View. It looks suspiciously like The International Language Institute of Massachusetts. Street View link here.

[Stoon]

I love Hannelore's expression in the second last panel.

[Welu]

Hannelore is a good tough love friend.

[Rghfrgl]

Leaving Not-AA by coincidence Faye notices Claire in her LGBT support group across the hall. Shocked she rushes home to tell Marten her secret.

'Marty I don't know how to tell you this, your girlfriend, she's....a lesbian!'
'Aww man, not again!'

Visibly amused, Marten runs with it:
"She probably just wanted to get closer to you all along!"

[Endellion]

Best Hanners in a good while  I'm glad she's getting more screen time recently.

[jwhouk]

It's actually an old school building that's been re-purposed into office space.

It's also roughly two-three blocks down from Downtown Northampton - which is where (theoretically) CoD is located.

And one of the locations for COD is currently a Starbucks... WTH happened after Faye was fired, anyways?

After Faye was fired, the "refurbished" Starbucks employees rebelled and took over CoD.

I'm disappointed

There's no Taco shop or Yoga Studio across the road!!

[explicit]

I'm just disappointed that the only coffee shop I found was a starbucks.

[XODLIRV]

I'm betting Faye walks into the support group, and Sven is there.

[chaospersonified]

I'm betting Faye walks into the support group, and Sven is there.

I hope not. Faye has serious doubts about even the idea of support groups; if Sven was there, she wouldn't stick around, and depending if she's told Hanners about Sven's confession, she might not even suffer the wrath of a crowbar to the kneecaps.

This feels more likely to me. Claire's in a relationship for the first time, and she's already mentioned support groups being helpful to her in the past. She might very well return to an old group to voice her excitement and concerns.

[valkygrrl]

These predictions are too tame.

Faye walks into the wrong room and Pintsize is there, not for support but to see the donkey show.

[Aziraphale]

I'm betting on Faye sitting down, looking around the room, walking back out only to find Hanners and her crowbar waiting...

[chaospersonified]

And then next week is the ACTUAL support group scene. Tomorrow being Friday, that would allow a full week of support group arc

Sure, you can also get some for leaving donations in the hug jar....

Uh you know what? After the donkey show joke I should be specific about the type of donations. Leave _only_ hugs in the hug jar, kthx.

I will happily add hugs to the hug jar. I'm a huggy person. So long as you're into it, I will hug you at any available moment. *hug*
