Granted, the entire phone call could have been a sleep-deprived delusion; after all she's on what, her 3rd or 4th day without sleep?Oh no. This makes too much sense. In strip 517, Hannelore said "Besides, I haven't slept in something like four days, so this all might be a hallunication anyway". The weirdness of the QC universe could be completely explained if it's all in Hanners's addled mind.
"who would ever want to have sex with a regular old COMPUTER?"like whether or not Hanners is a toaster?
That just raises further questions!
This seems to contradict my theory that Raven invented the AnthroPC during her days as a child prodigy.

I have a character who has an appliance fetish. He's most turned on by toasters.

Oh, and toaster is a derogatory term for the race they played members of on Battlestar Galactica, being theoretically robots and all.

I prefer the term skinjob. It just sounds dirtier than toaster and some of those skinjobs were damn dirty ... like the apes!
P.S. Even though Lucy Lawless looked a lot more striking with the black hair in her Xena days, she looks pretty damn good blond.

Aw man, don't say that. I just paid 150 dollars to get off whatever could be salvaged from my crispy fried hard drive. I think they got most of it, but the files are all gone and everything is sorted by extension.
I don't buy the Hannelore as a toaster theory. If her dad had that kind of capacity 20+ years ago, why would he have sent her a less evolved model as a roboyfriend?To avoid suspicion?

Also, I predict that, since the artwork in QC evidently becomes more and more realistic, the moment when Jeph draws his characters with such skill that QC looks like a photocomic heralds the end of QC. After that point, Jeph's skills would change QC from realism to reality, causing the charactes to become physically existent.
Remember kids, programmed memories are autiomatically suspect!
That includes any activity your parents did with you as a child...

Third thought: Whatever you do, don't get Warren Ellis involved.Words to live by, no matter the endeavor.
Don't we have evidence that Hannelore is not a cyborg? In strip 1175, the robots were scanning her for data interfaces, without success.

So, I've examined my PC on all sides and from every angle. Now I'm a pretty imaginative guy, but apart from frottage, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-penetrative_sex#Frottage) there is no way to have sex with that sucker.You don't know what kind of "ordinary computers" HannerDad has.

Are guys really that picky about what's surrounding a vagina?
I don't get why Dora is so uptight about Marten trying out the whole mustache thing. I'd have been curious. I've tried to get The Man to try growing a beard, but he's against it.

All that said, what's the big deal? Facial hair is awesome. I get so sad when my boyfriend shaves. I need to get him a trimmer so his facial hair is always the perfect length.I prefer to shave. I once tried to grow a beard but it looked really awful.

Ummmm... what? If you are referring to the same female region as the topic of the comic and the conversation that is one weird family. I think if my father even mentioned my region I would have to move to the other side of the world for a few years at least.
just remember, length doesn't make up for thinness. Unless you're FuManchu!Or Billy Gibbons, or Dusty Hill. I'm not sure thinness is an issue, but at this point who can tell?

I tried to grow a beard once. It never really worked. I dunno why.hell no, men don't need to be doing anything irreverable to their faces when they probably just need to wait for testosterone to do its work. As for your nether bits, you're not removing ALL of it are you? a landing strip can be nice
<_< >_> o_o
If you are a guy who has horribly patterned facial hair and can't or don't want to shave it constantly, I suggest laser hair removal. I'm seriously considering it for my nether bits. I actually like the 12-year-old look for myself.
I prefer no hair, even a little bit weirds me out. Its gross.
Are guys really that picky about what's surrounding a vagina? Besides, I think if there's going to be a grooming deal like that it should be of a comparable area. If a girl has to keep the basement neat, so should a guy.
A moustache is hard to pull off.
I tried to grow a beard once. It never really worked. I dunno why.
I had a beard from ages 23 to 48, but I developed a white patch on the chin. For 18 months I coloured it out with Just For Men until I noticed the chemicals were giving me a rash. With a choice between losing the beard or looking like a badger, I opted to shave.And what is wrong with looking like a badger?

Yea, I don't know why, but I think its fucking disgusting.I prefer no hair, even a little bit weirds me out. Its gross.
You mean pubic hair? Because, I mean, if that's what you prefer, that's fine. But, it shouldn't weird you out. It's natural, after all.

Matter of fact, I prefer non-shaved.
Makes you look more like a woman, not a little girl. I have no interest in little girl bits. (that's creepy to even think about)

Also the reason why I would prefer a Kirsten Dunst over a Megan Fox any day. Yeah Megan Fox is more beautiful, but she looks too much like a baby and thats horribly offturning and completely unsexy.

[YAY Dune!
I think Faye would also make a good Reverend Mother Mohiam sporting a A Gom Jabbar. That would be my costume of choice were I to attend a Dune party. Alas, none of my peeps are fond of Dune.
Just to try to stay off the topic of pubic hair and badgers, does anyone else feel like Dora may be going a little too far? All Marten wanted to do was try out a moustache, and then she could make a judgement on whether she thinks he should keep it. It is his face, what if he objected to her going back to blonde? Should she automatically follow what he says?I agree that she may be going to far, but her reaction isn't particularly uncommon. In my experience, most woman in our culture (i.e.: Anglo-American/Canadian) are not fond of men with facial hair. My ex actually once said to me, upon my considering growing a beard, "No. You can't have a beard. Well, maybe when you're an old man, but not now." So, yeah, perhaps "too far," but not uncommon.

I read the Dune trilogy once. I remember having to wait for the third book to be published. Some of the names are familiar - Baron Harkonnen, Bene Gesserit (some kind of holy order?), the Spice, the stillsuits recycling water on a desert planet, and of course the worms. But damn, I was a teenager back then! A lot of these references are long lost in the fog of time...
Never saw the movie, either - was it worth it? Or should I put the books back into my ever-growing-stack-of-things-I-need-to-read-someday?
dora international airport is open....all night long. and weekends too. and public holidays. even Santa pops in to say hello.
I started growing boobs at the age of 9. I was in a C-cup at 13. Boobs, especially in my family, aren't much of a sign of adulthood.

Yeah, the Dune reerences are getting a little thick (but then, so am I).Oh yea, if you're going to shave the nether-regions, you've got to keep up with it every day, or at least every other day.
In fact, I really don't know what half of ya's are talkin' 'bout.
Doesn't stop me from posting, though!
Back to the hair thing; facial or pubic, I can't imagine keeping it really clean. I mean, an hour after shaving, I feel sand-papery, and that's on my neck - I don't shave the thick part on the face!
Never shaved anything else though, so I don't really know growback times. But if you're not shaving the bits daily, doesn't it prickle in the panties?
I can't imagine that being comfy in any way...
Curiously I find girls tend to object just as strongly to a guy with facial hair wanting to shave it all off. As I found out when I mangled my beard while trimming it one day and just cut it all off. My wife was like "Why did you do that????" I'd had a goatee for as long as she'd known me, so I imagine that the sudden change was jarring.

Actually, the math itself does that for us. When you actually understand what's going on, it's... well, trippy!
The LSD only made me want to draw all those things.
And that ain't easy, believe me!
Also, does this comic officialy declare Raven to have been put on a bus? (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PutOnABus)Maybe Raven's going to school to learn to design a fuel cell-powered submabusnacopter! Eco-friendly all-terrain transport for the masses! Arrgghh!

There's only one out of two things a guy who wants a beard can do under those circumstances; either grow a beard while he's single and not dating anyone, so he'll end up with a girl who likes or at least tolerates facial hair...
So am I the first to notice the perspective error with Faye's arm?
Dryad: "I'll distract them with my human mating call: "I'm so wasted, *giggle* I'm so wasted!""
Glad to see the Blood Bank has finally put it's foot down about that.
The complete opposite happened to me. I LOVED my boyfriend's beard when we first started dating, and I was pretty sad when he had to shave it off for work, and so I made him promise he would at least keep his little soul patch. Then, one day, he came over with it shaved off and I didn't even notice.Just to try to stay off the topic of pubic hair and badgers, does anyone else feel like Dora may be going a little too far?

I did exactly this. I once told my current girlfriend that I shaved off my beard (over the phone) just to see her reaction (because I'm a jackass). She was not happy. So, apparently she prefers it, rather than just tolerates it.
LOL! I hadn't noticed that red sticker on the till.That's the coffee maker.
Could she possibly get her own spinoff? "Everybody Loves Raven"? (It's fitting on multiple levels.)
Yeah, that brings back memories... :) It's an Easter Egg they put into all the Warcraft games, (and Starcraft too) that the characters have extra things to say if you click on the same guy several times in a row. As I recall, the humans in the original Warcraft would say, in an indignant tone of voice, "Why do you keep touching me?"For some reason I played the press review version of Warcraft 2, before the game came out. It probably came with some magazine. It was pretty unfinished, it had resources you could mine that weren't actually used for anything, etc...

No, she's not being mean, she's being a friend and forcing her to face reality - nothing like waking up at 40 going - "I've spent how much of my life making minimum wage?" My wife was in Dora's shoes, small business owner and all, but her store eventually died. Then she realized that without some college credentials stating on your resume that you have high school and 20 years of retail experience (as manager and owner) doesn't qualify you for much other than retail.....
... shes on 'the death list' now... You know, the one for when i take over the world... Doesnt everyone have one?Nope, not me.

As for Raven, perhaps she will specialise in Jiggle Physics (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JigglePhysics)?
It's funny to see Faye looking her normal (little bit chunkier) self in panel one, then see her look almost as thin as Dora in the first part of panel three. I wonder if it's just variations in Jeph's current style or if he meant to draw her thinner, or if the thinner look is due to her posture?
