Personally, they get a '1'.

I, seriously, think the main cast should've stood aside and let the psycho stalker throw themselves into ocean. But whatever....

If we're just talking story-wise? It's still a '1'. Honestly, someone tell me what the stalker brings to the table that's unique; one role that isn't filled by another main or secondary cast member. PREFERABLY, something that doesn't make the skin crawl.

I mean, when Clinton was first introduced, it was played off for a laugh(?) of him having an intense(creepy) fascination with Hanners but that was just one(maybe two, at the most IIRC) strip and then we quickly moved on. Heh. Out of weird curiosity, I would, probably, like to meet the fan who looked at that unfortunate trait of his character and said, "Hey, what if we took that small part of Clinton and made an entire character who was just THAT! Just intense and creepy, all the time."

But, it's like a war...we're already in it, too late to pull out, now. So, f*** it, buckle up, let's see where this new character takes us.

Neko_Ali:
I think "Jesus Tilly calm down' is a good nickname for them. And even better advice...

--- Quote from: hedgie on 03 Dec 2017, 15:34 ---IIRC, the Operative admits that what he does is evil, and that he's a monster.

Yup, but he does evil to achieve good, to "make all of them Better Worlds" (Admittedly, he's also a few sandwiches short of a picnic, but it's the principle that counts ...  :-D)

--- End quote ---

Right...but if he recognizes he does evil, he's not amoral. He has a moral sense, and is concerned with the rightness of his actions. He values the ends over the means, but he's not indifferent to the means. If he were, he wouldn't have had the moral event horizon breakdown at the end when he realized he was on the wrong side, because oh well, I guess I was wrong, but whatever, who cares how wrong it was.

Basically the Operative just...er...operates on a utilitarian sense of ethics.

Timemaster:
I've voted number 8.
Yes, certainly an eight. Not the best character, but certainly really really funny.  :lol:

brasca:
I voted for 7 because I think there's a lot of room for potential and while this strip does have a large cast of characters who haven't appeared in awhile because of lack of any plots to involve them in I think it's better this way.  Creating a far fetched reason for Marigold, May, or Brun to be Hannelore's personal assistant would just be too convoluted.  Besides new people enter our lives all the time while others fade away into past acquaintances. 

Given those past nicknames of Tilly I'd say they have an atypical psychological profile and will fit in nicely.  Perhaps it was one of the reasons Beatrice chose her.
