Please tell me it's not some weird alternative 1992 where Wesley Crusher is now called Tilly ...

P.P.S.: And what do you say to the people looking at you funny when you do?  :-D

Is that a Beetlejuice kind of thing?

Can't rightfully say - never seen the movie. Is it?

--- End quote ---

It depends if Tilly appears magically when you say three times their name, or not. Possibly, Hanners doesn't need to say it three times for them to materialize. One may be more than enough...  :lol:

No, seriously, go back to strip #3606, where Hannelore has her first Tilly-based conversation with her mother. Then skip ahead to today’s strip #3635, to the second phone call. The second call should have been the first one!

Everything that happened between 3606 and 3635 was useless filler. It didn’t help moving the plot along one bit! And don’t tell me "It’s for character development." or "It’s for getting to know Tilly." No. Character development happens during plot, not apart from it. And also, we didn’t really learn anything important we didn’t already know after the first two or three strips involving Tilly, now did we?

Love Tilly or hate them, but stuff like that makes me angry.

Since we have no idea yet how the story is going to unfold, it is a bit too early too conclude that this is bad storytelling, don't you think? For instance, we currently have no idea whether the 'filler' comics as you call them revealed stuff that comes into play later on.

It's for character development - Hanners', for example.

--- End quote ---

Of course she COULD do that. But since she'd be speaking to her mother ABOUT Tilly, it seems a little rude to do so without them.
