WCDT strips 4046-4050 (15 - 19 July 2019)
hedgie:
Physical contact gets so much easier when one initiates it themselves.
DarthSox:
It's been a long time since I commented here (I occasionally lurk when something controversial is happening in the comic), but I wanted to ask something random:
Is this the first time we've ever heard Hannelore say the F-word? I remember she told Faye one time to "get her shit together", and made a mental note that I didn't think she had ever sworn before or since.
BenRG:
I wonder if Hannelore has considered the possibility that time in their universe is somehow going at a tiny fraction of its apparent rate (you know, as they were in a daily comic strip or something)? That would explain why it is taking everyone so long to get out of their twenties!
I so love Hannelore's reason for coming back. It's easy to forget how much she loves her friends and the degree to which they're core to her happiness, stability and life! Just all the'catching up' strips are going to be a treat to read! I wonder how long Jeph can sustain a running joke about Hanners making some reference to her travels that means something completely different out of context?

It could be, but it doesn't surprise me. Travel broadens the mind, and after all the people she's met and worked with I'd expect her to be less squeamish about language than she might have been before, just as she is about yak poo.
Anyway it's easy to say when she's only quoting back what Dora has just said.
Signal Firefly:
I kinda want to chime in here with my own personal experience. First, let me say I am very well aware this is not remotely comparable to OCD. And I'm not saying this is the case for Hannelore; I agree with people saying this is a breakthrough, not a cure. But...
For most of my life, I had a serious nail-biting problem. Like, constantly, they were always bitten down to the quick, my fingers hurt all the time. Awful. Tried for years to quit. Then about...seven years ago?... I told myself one day, you are in control of your body. It does not control you. You are stronger than this. And...it worked. I've had a few setbacks, and I still bite the skin around my nails sometimes, but for the most part I haven't bitten my nails since. I don't know how it worked, I know it wouldn't work for most people, and people aren't weak or "not trying hard enough" because they can't just will themselves better. And like I said, nail biting is not OCD. But I can believe that, once in a while, someone CAN muscle their way through their issues through sheer will power alone.
