--- Quote from: Penquin47 on 26 May 2015, 17:27 ---It's not the first time Hanners has freaked out over something relatively innocuous.

Actually that was my first thought too. Not that she was freaking out but she was pregnant. And she was producing by budding...

--- Quote from: Zebediah on 27 May 2015, 07:13 ---Okay, just a general comment about anxiety disorders: The basis for them is irrational. So anyone saying "that doesn't make any sense" is missing the point. Of course they don't make sense; that's why they are a problem. And no amount of logical argument is going to alleviate them because they are aren't based in any logic to begin with. They grab hold of a person's thought processes and do not let go, and the person suffering from them has no control over this.

And usually those suffering from anxiety disorders are aware what is freaking them out makes no sense. That doesn't stop the anxiety though. In some people it makes things worse, because they know they are freaking out over something in their head with no basis of reality, so that fact sends them spinning off into another panic attack.
Timemaster:
Aaah, thermodynamics and relativity. Always good to keep a worried mind distracted. ;-)
Nonetheless Faye had a good word here. To give her a good reason to think positive, to change her attitude towards her anxieties at least temporarily may not lessen Hanners hypochondrosis in the long run. But it may brighten her mind and mood for the moment and help her to snap out of her current crisis.
Maybe BenRG is right and we see the beginning of a deeper friendship between Hanners and Faye. (No, I´m NOT shipping here!) Faye is kinda cut out of her old life right now, with Angus gone, CoD lost and Marty occupied otherwise. Maybe she will actually set her mind a little bit more to Hanners than in the past. At least the last arcs with the two of them (knitting, support group, bleeding mole) would be a good beginning.

You know, Hannelore's monologue in this strip reminds me so strongly of DSL's QC Captions post from the other day that I wonder if Jeph was inspired by DSL. :-D

--- Quote from: snubnose on 27 May 2015, 00:35 ---I'm baffled how much Hanners can emulate the ramblings of a physicist, but obviously without actually knowing what she's talking about.
--- End quote ---
I'm not a physicist but I studied to be one and surprisingly, I understood what was being postulated.
Now where did I put my glasses? "your wearing them" Oh? That explains why I can read this post.

I loved that game when it was first published (click to show/hide)
Clyde Caldwell always had a certain style reminiscent of Boris but with better sight linesMy favorite quote (click to show/hide) Yes I did say this in game. No it was not original. Some of you may actually know where this came from and to you I raise a glass as a fellow nerd/geek/otaku Don't get your ovipositors in a knot.
