HeavyP:
Hanners' characterization feels a bit jarring to me here - she's always had the OCD "quirk" and she's concerned about germs and such, but it feels like fairly large leap to this level of "running around screaming, waving hands in the air like a muppet" hypochondria.  Her attitude is just *bugging* me, but I suppose you can't please all of the fans all of the time.

BenRG:
FWIW, I think Jeph is reminding us that these problems - hyperchondria, germaphobia and OCD - are still present in Hannelore's life. She's made enormous progress during her time as a character in the strip but these problems are still there and she still has to fight them. Sometimes, as in this arc, she can't win and, as we saw during the car trip, anxiety and a far-too-good imagination is sufficient to reduce her to close to a breakdown.

The sad thing is that Hannelore will be fighting these demons for all of her life. She's just lucky that she has a fairly sensible friend, in the form of Faye, this time, to help her cope. Without Faye, Hanners would likely have likely worrying herself into a serious breakdown that may have left her effectively disabled for some time.

I read this on waking up, and I am incredibly sore all over and surprisingly pantsless for no apparent reason.

What I'm saying is that your guess is frighteningly possible.

It wasn't a guess, Cold has the CCTV footage. Blackmail specifics to follow shortly.
