- debatable, seems like Hanners is doing it mainly as guilt avoidance
 - how do we know. I imagine Beatrice thought Hanners might like the help too.

Main difference here: Station and various drones are already doing the job that they plan to give Tilly, rather than trying to invent one for them.  It's not going well and Station would welcome the help.  With Hanners, she was doing everything Tilly would have done for her on her own and it was working just fine.

If it makes you more comfortable, think of it this way: while, nominally, Tilly is John Ellicott-Chatham's personal assistant and their duties are typically things described with that job description, they are being hired by Station, who has chosen to subcontract one of his many job titles on the station.  Both Station and Hanners know John well enough to believe that he won't care who's doing the job as long as the job gets done - and they both actually *do* know him, rather than making assumptions based on what they think John is like.

TheEvilDog:
Folks, I dislike Tilly as much as the next person, but can we tone down the level of vitriol that seems to be coming from some corners of the forum? We get it, people don’t like them, it’s been said enough times elsewhere that we don’t really need to repeat it here. And as it seems, Tilly is being put on the Space Bus to a better life elsewhere, so how about people retain some dignity and calm down.

Don’t make me become Captain Reasonable. No one wants that!

Perfectly Reasonable:
Wait, what?

Morituri:
I dunno:  I find Tilly pretty amusing, but that may be just because ever since I found out Tilly's dad has been trying to get corporate espionage done, I've been imagining a spinoff comic where Tilly is attached as a personal assistant to Tortura in wacky hijinks that take them inside the base complexes of evil supervillains, where the guards carry uzis and the corporate limos are mostly armored vehicles....

Well, if today's[Tuesday] comic was about say, Union Robotics, and clearly the beginning of a new arc, and people were still talking about their like/dislike of Tilly, I'd wholeheartedly agree with you. But to say, people can't, discuss a character that is central to a, now, three-four week arc is just unfair. And I am, definitely, not just pointing this at you Castle, I just keep seeing these, "well, if you didn't come here to say how much you love Tilly, don't post about them at all" takes* and it's irritating because unless they violate the forum rules or the Creator's and mod's stated wishes**, people should be free to express their dislike of a character for as long as that character is central to the current plot line without getting shut down with "well, you're being negative, so, shut up!" responses.

*And yes, that is what's happening because no one's calling for the people who like Tilly to stop expressing their views, it's only on those who dislike them to keep their opinions to themselves...

**And yes, I'll admit that certain people have used a dislike of Tilly to be disgustingly disrespectful towards the LGBT+ community and those people have rightly been shut down by the community and dealt with by the moderators and are currently, hopefully, rotting somewhere.

Again, not an attack on you Castle, I just happen to disagree.
