WCDT Strips 3636 to 3640 (18th to 22nd December 2017)
Tova:
Hanners cutting off ties with her mother was plenty dramatic, IMO.
I think the issue here is that some folks have been building Beatrice up as some kind of Bond villian, with spies everywhere, and intricate plans to enslave her daughter and take over the planet.
When actually, she's just a driven businesswoman who's neglected her daughter (to the point now of exploiting her for personal gain). This is a wake-up call for her.
Bad Superman:
Don’t get me wrong. I like Hannelore. I really do. She’s easily one of my favourite characters. And, yes, she has shown considerable determination and strength this week, given her usual way of dealing with things. At the beginning of the Tilly-arc she even said to Dora that she doesn’t have the energy to confront her mother about this whole Forced-PA-Thing. Obviously that is no longer the case…
It’s Beatrice who I’m disappointed of.
Yes, I envisioned her as being more of a Magnificent Bastard.

Not on a Bond-villain level, but still… She’s a successful strong-willed business woman who makes deals on an international scale. Is she really just going to stand there, frozen and dumbfounded, and take it?
We still have two more comics this week to find out…

That was actually my first thought. Hanner’s actions might be understandable, but they are still assault. Hannelore has every right to be furious at how her mother has manipulated and treated her, that that doesn’t make shoving her right, and it certainly doesn’t make it legal.
If her mother is anywhere nearly as manipulative and conniving as we’ve been led to believe, I can see her turning around and using this against Hannelore.
Cornelius:
--- Quote from: BenRG on 20 Dec 2017, 00:22 ---So, what's next? Next, Hannelore has to sit down with Tilly and they have to decide what Tilly does next. My concern is that I don't think that Tilly's dad is any more forgiving of the perception of failure than Beatrice is. Things may be hard for them, at least for a while.

I'm not so sure about that; their phone call seemed a lot more good natured than anything we've seen between Hanners and Beatrice.
I wonder what Station's reaction will be.
JoeCovenant:
Hmmm...
So, "Don't speak to me!" is the be all of this, really.
No "I have no Mother!" or "I renounce this whole situation!" not even a "I don't need you or your money!"
Just a shove and a "Don't talk to me!"
I kinda expected more...
Except... Hanners isn't out of the office yet... and it's only Wednesday!
This could go many ways...
As has been mentioned above the, "Eeexcellent! Your hatred has made you strong!" moment.
Or a "Just you wait a minute, Missy!" moment.
Or an even more anti-climactic, 'Back-at-Hanners' place' - "So, Tilly, this is how things are gonna go..." moment
I'm praying this is the end of the Tilly arc...
But, as we all know, prayers are pointless.
