--- Quote from: BenRG on 17 Nov 2019, 23:20 ---I'll be honest and admit that I don't know what the point is supposed to be about today's strip. We've been here before - Hannelore latching onto an obscure scientific prediction of doom and obsessing about it. It's a useful way to remind us of how her obsessive nature can sometimes mess up her life quite badly. However, it's always been immersed in some larger point about how Hannelore's everyday life works before this.

Errrrrh - actually, there were real people who really tried to prevent the start of the real LHC on the grounds of just that obscure - and very unscientific - 'prediction'. And they got some real help along the way by our real newsmedia, because back then, there was no Brexit, and Trump was still a reality TV personality, so people had to invent shit to be scared of! :-o

--- Quote from: BenRG on 17 Nov 2019, 23:20 --- It's about Dora and how the prospect of being about to become "Mrs Tai" has impacted on her thinking.
--- End quote ---
Hmmm. Tai strikes me as the one who would freak out at the last minute about becoming "Mrs. Dora", not the other way around. Dora strikes me as having been raised conventionally enough that she'd take Tai's last name if Tai asked her to, but I doubt Tai would - it's not that important to *her*. Tai's family on the other hand, might care, and then the battle would be joined because Dora wouldn't sit still for that once she figured out it wasn't really Tai asking.
