I feel sorry for Hanners. Not only did she drive away a boy with her horribly disfigured smile, but she's going to give herself nightmares with it too. Bad day...

I don't think Hanners has a disfugured smile, I think she doesn't know how to smile and just puts full force on all her facial muscles, which is how childrens books depict it.

The art has changed a bit since then.

If you want to get really picky about it, given the angle of the viewer, relative to the mirror and Hannelore, we'd likely be seeing her folded towels, and not her face.

Honestly, the only difference is that old Hannelore was a lot more confident and spoke her mind. That and she used to straighten her hair, I guess.

New Hanners does speak her mind occasionally... most recently: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1388

Other times: when Marten called Faye an alcoholic, and I think Faye got drunk after having sex with Sven, and Hanners went critical.

Few things make me happier than being able to quit hating Dora.  I've always liked her, but there for a while she was seeming irrational and crazy.  Now she's back to being fun and awesome.  I hope this her stays around.  A little insecure is okay, most girls are to a certain level.  But, crazy controlling bitch isn't as much fun to read...errr watch...errr something.

It was worth it for the looks on Faye and Dora's faces in the third and fourth panel

Looking back at http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=669 makes me note that Hanners has changed a lot. When did she give up smoking, short hair, and wearing tidy clothes?

In all seriousness, it reminds me of looking back at old Peanuts cartoons, and seeing how those characters evolved in drawing style (albeit over a number of decades).

OK, how's this for an exceedingly annoying nitpick: I don't think the writing on the "Specials" building in panel 3 (EDIT: panel 2 is different as well, 1 and 4 might match, though) matches what's written in the other panels (though the building itself does). Not that it matters, it's just the kind of stupid thing my brain catches after being an editor for a while.  :roll:

If Dora had only reversed that, Faye could have protested, "I am not! Fully clothed here!"

Southern-talk, Redneck Supplement: Butt-ass nekkid- Nude, and quite certainly, undeniably up to something. Usually caught in the act of said something. As in: "When I went looking for Janey-Sue, I found her in the back of his Trailblazer with Jimmy Flatts, both of 'em butt-ass nekkid."

I actually have an irrational fear of biological symmetry.  This is usually the worst during the rainy season, when many earthworms are afoot.  Encounters with sea urchins are not pleasant, though infrequent.  I'm somewhat uncomfortable around people with hair parted down the middle.
