WCDT Strips 3636 to 3640 (18th to 22nd December 2017)

Well somebody just lost access to the Castlery Rock beach house.
Beatrice is probably feeling a mixture of pride that her daughter stood up to her and blinding rage that she defied her and doesn’t know how to react. She’ll feel better later when she beats to death a televangelist at her private golf course.
Is it cold in here?:
Do we have textev that Hannelore gets an allowance? Her counting business could have met her modest needs.
Station would help her financially at need, for certain.
Voran:
Hm. My concern is this. Hanners just assaulted her mom, tho technically I think its battery. Worse the argument could be made she intentionally traveled all those miles from her residence, on a plane, to her mother's workplace, disrupted the work of OTHER people beyond her mom and then intentionally used force on her mother.
Hm, and if she immediately jumps back on a plane and returns home, would that be considered fleeing?
I also think its kinda cheap that the author managed to get everyone out of the room conveniently before Hanners could commit her crime.
I am curious to see if there will actually be consequences for the ridiculous choice Hanners just made, or if the trend of the main chars never really getting consequences and just moving on to the next story event continues.
TinPenguin:
Maybe this heinous incident will be adapted into an intensely overacted Australian TV drama: "The Shove".
RMc:
Yeah, not buying it.
This series is good example of the character inconsistencies rife throughout the strip.
*First of all, nobody maintains that level of anger for days on end unless they're sporting some serious mental illness. (And I don't mean the cutesy OCD she supposedly has; more like full-on schizophrenia.)
*Second, how was Hannelore able to burst into the boardroom like that? Don't they have security? Wouldn't she have to sign in at the front desk or something? Wouldn't they let Beatrice know her own daughter was coming, and loaded for bear?
*Third, the idea that Hannelore could simply scream GET OUT and Beatrice would tell everyone to leave the room is laughable. More likely, she would simply tell her daughter to cool her jets, and, if Hannelore persisted, call security.
*Lastly, Beatrice is supposed to be a hardened woman who's been in corporate America for a long time. Women in corporate America face a lot of unwanted touching, as The Reckoning has taught us. Getting rudely shoved would probably be Beatrice's berzerk button; in reality, Hannelore would've gotten about half-way through the first sentence of her tirade before being interrupted by a vicious slap to the face, followed by an even-more vicious dressing-down.
But, no, we all have to listen to Hannelore's little foot-stamping screed, bleating about her tiresome mommy issues, followed by an even more tiresome "Good *day*, madam!" bit. In real life, people who pull stunts like that get tackled from behind and seriously messed up.
I don't know how this gets resolved, but I'm sure it will be a silly cliche or two, 'cuz that's how this comic rolls.
