QuestionableIntentions:
Anyone else has a feeling that Taffy Tilly is actually gunning for the Ellicott-Chatham empire? As in, CEO?

They'd rather continue to hate her, I guess. Or that she go away. What's up with that? I find it slightly surprising.

Well, I can happily inform you you can eat your own words, because the last panel of today's strip made me warm up to Tilly quite a lot. I don't quite know what it is, but she made me smile. So yeah, at least this one hater is gonna have to give her a chance.
gopher:
With 30+ Characters(?) adding a one trick pony like Tilly for another redemption arc feels really redundant. How often do we need Character with flaws joins the group, through the group has personal revelation and grows?
BenRG:
Mostly, Tilly is there as a character foil for Hannelore but I don't think that the arc worked out quite the way Jeph originally planned. That said, I'm not expecting to see too much of her if, say, Hannelore either sends her back at the end of the arc or finds something out-of-town for her to do.

I agree. It's not that Tilly has done something really horrible, by QC standards. Pintsize's behaviour is, on average, way worse. And, before someone says "oh, he's just an mechanical sidekick, whereas Tilly is an human being and should know better", think of the way Faye and Dora (both humans) treated COD costumers, not long ago. Should we ask them to leave the comic, too?

Difference being, customers chose to go to COD.
Hanners didn't ask for Tilly... and has in fact told her to leave her alone... and been ignored.
Personally, that's my main problem with Tilly.
Putting myself in Hanners' shoes, I doubt I would have been so understanding.
Odd thing though...
Todays strip where Tilly takes off her glasses?? - Didn't mind her quite so much!
How weird is that??!!
(Cos, you know... I was a "guy who made passes at girls who wore glasses"!)
