Tova:
Obviously Hanners will be pretty unhappy. But I suspect that Tilly will also be unhappy. Both of them have been screwed around by this, and Beatrice appears oblivious.
Not for much longer.

O, but it hasn't been confirmed that Tilly didn't know about their father's deal. It's been shown that a lot people and AI's hold the Ellicott-Chathams in, near royalty-like, high regard. Maybe Tilly didn't care about the how and just saw the chance to work closely with Hanners(someone she, clearly, admires) and jumped at it. I mean, hey, who wouldn't? If my parent's made a shady-ish deal to get me a job working with or for Emily Haines, a moral debate would rage in me for all of three seconds before I was off on a flight to Vancouver. :-D
As for Beatrice, she just strikes me as a, "I have decided that this is the best course of action and any who don't agree are too ignorant to see my brilliance or are actively working to undermine me." kind of person. Not really someone, you can hope to reason with once they've decided on a course of action. *woof* Good luck, Hanners. :S

That's true. Still, I suspect that Tilly did not. Time will tell.
Edited because I suddenly realised that my post was a bit snarky, and I don't want to be guilty myself of adding to the bad vibes. Sorry.

Yep. A bad initial impression has been set in stone, it seems, and has affected people's reactions to every comic since. For example, Tilly asking Winslow if he opened Hanners' mail seemed to somehow get translated as "See, Tilly is terrible, they opened Hanners' mail." That can only happen when viewing the comic through an "I hate Tilly" filter.
I personally am finding this story reasonably interesting, regardless of whether I like Tilly or not. I mean, I haven't always liked Faye either, for example, but I've always enjoyed her storylines a great deal. The Tilly story is okay, as far as I am concerned, and I'm interested to see where this is headed, mainly from the point of view of personal development for Hanners and her relationship with her mother. Surely not everyone has completely missed this through the haze of Tilly hatred?
Regardless of whether you think the past comics have been "a pointless diversion," just remember that this is a slice of life comic. Pointless comedic diversions are what QC does.
So okay, I get that some people aren't enjoying the Tilly storyline at all. Maybe take a break from reading if you're hating it that much? Or, if you are going to keep reading, at least try to put aside your initial impressions. You also don't have to justify your dislike of Tilly to the hilt, or explain in great detail why it is that Jeph is a terrible story writer, just because you personally aren't enjoying it. And you certainly don't need to tell us "I hate Tilly," over and over and over and over again. We get it. It's made the forums an unpleasant place to be, quite frankly.

Tova, I want to thank you for this comment. I'm on vacation right now, so I can't write much. But this very much summs up how I feel about this community in this moment.
Actually I was allready thinking about resigning from the QC forum for as long as Tilly appears in the strip. I like this character a lot and reading about the hatred (I mean it) some of the forumites feel for them kinda takes the fun out of the strip for me. I certainly takes the fun out of participating in this discussion here. I mean, some people registered here only to tell uns what "waste" Tilly is. And go blathering on and on about it ever since.
Hello people? You don't like this? Then you can go and find yourself another webcomic, there's plenty of them. You made your point. Several times. Maybe it's time to shut up.
I've never encoutered so much aversion and hatred in a forum before. Somewhere I heard that disappointed fans can become the worst haters. This may be an example. I kinda wonder why the moderation doesn't call for a less agressive intonation here. If I was the owner of a forum and the participants would mostly talk hateful and respectless about my creation, I would surely think about whether I need to provide that forum at all.
As I said, I'm on vacation with my daughter right now. I don't know when I' ll find time to write here again. I surely will, but maybe not as long there are so many bad vibrations. But I just had to make my point.
See ya:
Timemaster
