WCDT Strips 3626 to 3630 (4th to 8th December 2017)
BenRG:
Okay, because we're not afraid of open communication here, I think that the time's come to assess how the forum is responding to Tilly.
This is a simple numerical poll with a value assigned to how you view her (for ease of reference, I've added suggestions about what each value could be considered to mean). The objective here is to get a feel for the overall view of how everyone sees them. Don't be afraid to post what's really going on in your heads. Not that people on this board do that anyway! :wink:
For me? I have to admit to be mostly indifferent to Tilly. They were an interesting and quirky little experiment but they've not really endeared themselves to me and I really can't see what value there is to the character going forwards. There are lots of other ways to kick Hannelore's arc into motion and I can't see Tilly having any kind of an interesting interaction with other characters that doesn't boil down to them taking advantage of Tilly's reflexive need to do anything Hannelore might want them to do.
Now, let's talk about this week in the strip.
I'm kind of expecting Hannelore to take her new PA on a tour of the town this week and maybe for a while more. So, we'll have Tilly interacting with Momo, May, Faye, Bubbles and maybe the Secret Bakery crew. It may be interesting to see how they react to (and creates reaction from) the various different personalities in Hannelore's life.
Bad Superman:
I voted "1", for reasons I described in detail in last weeks thread.
I don't see any benefit in Tilly being a part of the QC universe.
Case:
Given that I've always had a weak spot for "amoral antihero(ine)s", it's surprising how creepy an "amoral good" character can be.
Let's try a 7.
(Yes, I'm surprising myself here - stop gawking at me ...)
BenRG:
FWIW, in the classic alignment spectrum, you can't have 'amoral good', only 'lawful neutral' and 'lawful evil'. IMO, 'amoral good' is an oxymoron. FWIW, I list Tilly as 'lawful neutral'.

Yeah, y'know, 'lawful neutral/evil/headstand' is not 'classic', that's D&D-jargon (and never said much to me either way) & I don't think the human moral spectrum can be readily reduced to the rules of an RPG. And about 'amoral good' being an oxymoron: Tell that to The Operative ...
