--- Quote from: citizenfive on 15 Nov 2017, 11:01 ---I agree with brasca on the "seize her destiny" thing because Beatrice sent Tilly there to groom Hannelore for business. Regarding Tilly not correcting Hannelore if she got mad and called her Taffy, I think that would require Hannelore's personality to be much closer to Beatrice's, which thankfully it isn't.
--- End quote ---
Beatrice flat out says that Tilly is there because Ellicot-Chathams need assistants.
It's both a point of pride for Beatrice and likely her specific world view on the nature of the general social-contract. Think of the Frieza Returns arc in TFS DBZ Abridged. When Frieza says he can drive, King Cold states "Son, we don't drive ourselves, driving is for the help." Which King Cold says more sternly when Frieza tries to rebut him on the point.

--- End quote ---
I wonder if the joke will be that she finally gets Bleminda's name right.
--- End quote ---
By this time she's probably just giving her name as "Bleminda".
And I'm honestly surprised that so many people failed to recognize her. This is, what, her fourth or fifth appearance? She's practically a regular character now. In a few years she'll be promoted to the main cast. By 2030 all of the current main characters will have been retired, and Bleminda and Melon will be the primary characters.

Jeph did do one strip of the characters in middle age... In 2030 (assuming comic time == calendar time)
- Dora will be the high side of 40, and wondering why she no longer feels as free and easy with the kids working in the shop as she used to.
- Marten and Claire - not going to go there
- Marigold and Dale have 3 kids and have disappeared from the strip
- Bubbles is still running the shop, with Sam as a key employee.
feel free to continue folks...

Maybe Hanners just needs to give Tilly a sock...?
--- End quote ---
My first thought after reading this was "Does giving someone a sock have some sort of symbolic signifigance?".

It's from Harry Potter. Giving a house elf (a kind of slave) an article of clothing sets it free.

The stupid thing is that i have seen that movie more times than i can count and still did not get it until I got back tonight and read Pilchard123's response. I must be slowing down.

Yeah, given that my comment was all but ignored but someone "quoting" Dobby's line after it has been liked off the planet - I don't think you were alone!
(Or maybe I'm just not well liked!! Sob!!!!) :wow:
