Alright, let's see if I'm keeping all this straight. So, Character B comes into Character A's life and says, "I'm your new assistant". Character A says, "Uhh...no, I don't need an assistant. Please, leave." Character B goes, "Nope, I'm not going anywhere. You need me. There'll be no more discussion on the subject. Deal with it." Character A finally gets it into her spine to say something about, "Her life. Her choice." and "Agency". Character B has an epiphany, realizes they've bullied themselves into Character A's life, feels justifiably bad and proves they've learned their lesson byyyyy...what? Continuing to make Character A miserable with their presence?

I thought the whole point was to move AWAY from the creepy, "I'm here whether you want me to be or not" Tilly intro and yet, the last few comics have brought us back to where we were in the beginning: Tilly butting in despite Hanners' objections, Hanner's being shown to be miserable but her and Tilly both knowing that Hannelore is too nice to forcibly say, "GTFO of here!", and BONUS POINTS: Winslow being little to negative help. Seriously, think I'm kidding? Go comparison check. We have, quite literally, gone full circle back to the stalker/miserable-silent victim dynamic(if we ever left it to begin with).

/siiiiiiigh

Just burn it down. Just burn it allll the way the fuck down.

Cornelius:
Hannelore had given them 48 hours to try and prove their usefulness. Going back on that would be dishonest. At least We seem to be going through day 2 a whole lot quicker than day one.

I think it also shows Winslow hasn't exactly adjusted yet to his new chassis. The dance number may be cute in the I-pad frame, but at full size... I think he still needs to rethink his mode of interaction.

cloudatlatl:
Has Jeph ever killed off a character in the present day? I can think of at least one obvious example of a character dying during a flashback, but...
And not that I'm condoning murder or anything.  But Tilly is such an eager and curious individual, the sort to get oneself into trouble... and if such a person were to poke one's nose where it didn't belong, say into the private affairs of one Beatrice Ellicott-Chatham... it would be a shame if such a person were to meet with an unfortunate accident...
I'll say again that I really don't hate Tilly, I'm just looking for any way possible out of this story.  I may also be looking for excuses to practice my indirectly threatening mafia-speak.

blt:
Well if they're not helping (plural, incl Winslow), there's always the second half of the tattoo to fall back on.

Not explicitly killed, no. However, there was a barista at CoD named Sara who was abruptly 'put on the bus' during the first 100 or so strips and was never seen again. To this day, Jeph insists that she was eaten by a dinosaur.
