Its interesting, and maybe chilling to note the power of groupthink and isolated groups here. Here are two bodies of people, probably overlapping, and both of whom probably have fairly similar views on a lot of subjects, else they wouldn't enjoy the comic. But on a subject of no real importance at all - the behaviour of a fictional character whose personality is to date only outlined in the thinnest of ways - we have disparate views, apparently vehemently held, which seem to be tending to opposite extremes.
In many ways its a mirror of events in the wider world, and of course art should hold up a mirror to the wider world.
But I find it disturbing how recent society polarises itself so readily and so vehemently on so many topics, to the detriment of its own good, and this is such a good mirror of that.

Well, now I'm intrigued!

This suggests that Tilly is, like Hanners, the heir to a corporate mastermind whose ethics may be questionable. At the very least, I predict bonding between Hanners and Tilly on this account. Potentially, Beatrice realizes what’s happening and respects Brontdyn so much for his brash attempt that a future merger happens, potentially with a fun dynamic between Beatrice’s evil plotting and Brontdyn’s attempt to turn her towards truly legitimate business dealings.
I am reading way too much into this, I expect, but it’s fun.

Nope, that's a) exactly my headcan(n)on and b) the purpose of this subforum. 8-)
--- Quote from: Tova on 05 Dec 2017, 20:52 ---"Tilly has no idea what they're supposed to do in the situation that they've found themself in."
Not sure if people are going to like "themself" as opposed to "themselves," but it's worth trying such things to see if the become comfortable through repeated exposure.

Foreign heathen here: "themself" -> singular, "themselves" - plural?
My brain keeps insisting they're interchangeable ... :oops:

I'll admit my interest in Tilly has increased significantly after today's comic, there's potential in this arc yet.

Far more likely that he is just a corporate lackey grasping for something, anything, that might help him get ahead in his dead-end job.

--- Quote from: Shjade on 05 Dec 2017, 23:02 ---Then I remembered if Beatrice thought there were a potential spy in her company she'd just shoot them into the sun.
--- End quote ---
Only after she'd concluded that there was no other use she could put the person to. Shooting an opponent's agent into the sun, or even just shooting them, telegraphs that you've discovered their network. Beatrice would want to keep them guessing.
--- End quote ---
Hah! By making that agent a personal assistant to Hannelore, she has raised the oppositions hopes of gleaning useful information while in reality delivering nothing but confusion. She could always give Hanners a call whenever she wanted Tilly to overhear some bit of misinformation.
Not that that is what I think is happening.
