BenRG:
I think that Jeph is really enjoying playing up Emily's 'She can only pretend to be one of us' side. She has a definite auteur-like air to her sometimes; she's able to say the words and dance the steps but you get the impression that she doesn't really understand them on a certain level.
Part of it is, of course, that she's just so genuinely sweet and nice that she can't really pull off unpleasant behaviour in a believable way. That won't stop her developing her own cult following at CoD, primarily because she far outstrips even Faye's ability to make up bizarre nicknames (remember the dogs?)

I'm rolling with it myself. Jeph is still trying to get used to giving all female characters full lips and he is struggling with them in certain shapes and angles.
Storel:
Hannelore's hair is bothering me more than the lips. It looks like she has a bunch of blonde leaves stuck to her head. I can't imagine how you would make your hair look like that, let alone why you would want to... :psyduck:
Oh, wait, now I know who she's trying to look like! http://blog.retroplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/sprout.jpg
But she'll have to dye her hair green to get the full effect.
MrNumbers:
It's funny, I'm thinking if a girl like Emily said that to me, my first response wouldn't be offense. I'd try to haggle her down to a different kind of stupid name, like Fudoodles, and see where we ended up.
And I think that'd be the highlight of my day, at that.
SubaruStephen:
Hah! I have a "Mr. Burny" at my workplace too, except it's an Oxy-Acetalene torch.
(But sometimes it's "The Sparkle Wrench" depending on which tip I'm using.)
ZoeB:
I totally grok Emily. I was like that when young. Aspergic, very.
The parts of the brain to do with "common sense" are used for other things.
My bet is that with more socialisation, she'll pick up the basics though.
Or maybe I'm just not equally weird, but even more so. That hypothesis has some evidence for it too.
