WCDT Strips 3646-3650 (1st - 5th January 2018)
JoeCovenant:
Nothing much to add to any discussion...
But I am now more convinced than ever that Jeph is tinkering with his art stylings..
'Brush' work looks much heavier in places and both Faye and Dora are looking off-model to recent strips.
(I know art evolves.. I mean, look at the first few strips! But this one seems to have suddenly crashed down into place!)
shanejayell:
Ha! That was a good one. :-D
daphne:
I'm sad to see Hannelore go :-(. I wish Jeph brings her back at some point, I like her character!

You guys realize Jeph is allowed to write in other settings, right? I mean, he just demonstrated he would if he felt like it with Hanners' trip to her mom's office.
So Hannelore being on a trip isn't the same thing as writing her out. Even if she stays on the road for a while we very well might get strips of Hannelore and Winslow abroad, and I don't see any indication from this strip that the plan is to have her disappear from their lives forever anyway.
The comic is not restricted to Coffee of Doom and its immediate surroundings.
Take a breath.

And it's not like this strip takes place in the 1800's. With the enhanced level of technology in QC-world, Hannelore will easily be able to check in and let her friends know how she's doing. I suspect that we'll hear from her occasionally (maybe in the form of the twitter group chat thing that announced her selfquest)....
BenRG:
Personally, I think it would be sweet and in-character for Hannelore's friends to decide that they don't want her to forget them. So, every now and then, one of them will send her a long text updating them on the latest events (e.g.: "So, Faye's little sister just 'dropped in' and you'll never guess what happened next!"). The strip will always end in the same way - a silent panel of a smiling (perhaps tearful) Hanners reading her 'phone screen with a different background every time like Angor Wat, Oxford, Machu Piccu, Nazca, El Dorado, K'un-Lun, etc. Maybe for laughs, in the background Winslow running away from the local headhunter tribe (location-specific every time).
Or maybe: "I wonder what Hanners is doing right now?" Cut to her in a yoga position atop a 10-foot high pole, having a cup of tea with a monkey dressed as a sage or sword-fighting with a half-dozen ninja.
Or, for maximum freak-out, an anonymous figure in black standing on the roof of a skyscraper in the same city as ECE's headquarters with the following text in yellow narration boxes: "Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen it's true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!'...
"...and I'll look down, and whisper 'No.'"
Last panel you see it is Hanners wearing a black hood and a domino mask, reflected in Beatrice's office windows.
