Or 1100; or 715; or even the day Hanners was first seen!.

That is not Hanners. That is Hannelore, who was mysteriously replaced with the pod-person Hanners some time before this strip. Hannelore's last appearance can be found here. I suspect the Roomba is involved in the conspiracy, since it was present in her last storyarc.

pwhodges · « **Reply #101 on:** 20 May 2009, 11:09 »

Nah! She's still Hannelore much later than that.

The Joker · « **Reply #102 on:** 20 May 2009, 11:15 »

I have a conspiracy theory...so wild and unbelievable it just might be true! Here it is:

What if Hannelore...

...and Hanners...

...are the same person!

I know it sounds crazy, but that's what they said about the moon landing being fake, and, well, we all know how that worked out.

raoullefere · « **Reply #103 on:** 20 May 2009, 11:50 »

Or perhaps Hannelore…

…and Hanners…

…are, as Colin Hay put it, "one person who feels good to be alive."

by which he, and I, mean multiple personalities.

(Why…

…by the way…

…are we posting…

…like William Shatner?)

*whoosh*

I wasn't talking about the name, but rather the sudden and drastic shift in characterization. And hair. Especially the hair [cutting it short earlier didn't count since that was an actual action instead of a mysterious shift]

Orbert · « **Reply #105 on:** 20 May 2009, 11:59 »

Hannelore (aka Hanners) changed her OCD meds a while back. She mentioned it in the strip. Whatever the change was, it can be the reason why her personality is so different now.

Near Lurker · « **Reply #106 on:** 20 May 2009, 12:32 »

Maybe Hannelore ages backwards, like Benjamin Button or fans of lithium batteries?

Mojo · « **Reply #107 on:** 20 May 2009, 12:59 »

Ahhhh, there's the Steve I remember...

bicostp · « **Reply #108 on:** 20 May 2009, 14:24 »

Seems like Hannelore's still in there somewhere, occasionally breaking to the surface.

Well, you'd think after having a crazy Russian chick Steve would find ordenary girls dull.

pwhodges · « **Reply #110 on:** 20 May 2009, 16:38 »

In 1408, second panel, there is a passer by. She seems unnecessary to the strip, so I suspect it's a cameo of someone - any idea who?

I have a theory re our socks:

point 1: Who here is not represented by a sock puppet?
point 2: Who has a history of reacting to breakups with Tequila fueled hallucinations?
point 3: Who just shared a passionate goodbye kiss with a certain scarred Russian hotski in the previous episode?

Conclusion: Steve is not taking Tortura's departure very well at all!

That actually sounds pretty logical. Well, for an internet discussion on a web comic about sock puppets based on the characters in said web comic.

If it IS true.. I wonder then why would Steve imagine Raven as a fap sock?

Sporky · « **Reply #112 on:** 20 May 2009, 18:44 »

I totally imagined Marten's last speech bubble in Yahtzee's voice. Especially the last three words. Sounds like something he'd say. Not just because it's sarcastic, there's a specific wording...

If it was just because of the sarcasm, all of the characters would talk like a cranky man with an English accent 95% of the time, which would be... disturbing, to say the least.

Shok Xone Studios · « **Reply #113 on:** 20 May 2009, 20:06 »

Hurray for pre-midnight comics.

Those photos must be super disturbing if they're making Tai recoil.

No, it's not iambic pentameter. Sorry, please try again.

It all depends .. . . . onhow you think . . . . . Kirkspeaks.

If Tai is disturbed by those pics I don't think I wanna know!!!!

maddness · « **Reply #117 on:** 20 May 2009, 22:22 »

The way I see it, as long as the water in that fall is blue, it's all good. As for flexing in front of a stufffed bear ... well ... there's no help for him there. He's either furry, into bears (the big hairy man kind, not the animal) or he likes to kill animals and pose shirtless with their carcasses ... which is just icky.

Near Lurker · « **Reply #118 on:** 20 May 2009, 22:52 »

pwhodges · « **Reply #120 on:** 20 May 2009, 23:19 »

Glamor is an acceptable spelling in some places.

chronoplasm · « **Reply #121 on:** 21 May 2009, 00:40 »

Yeah. It's like "colour" or "defence" or like how "hat" means "condom" in some places.

Of course, Tai might simply be disturbed by the sight of Steve's manliness in full bloom.

I have thought of four different responses to this, and each one disturbs me more about myself than the last one. Thank you.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #123 on:** 21 May 2009, 04:34 »

And Tai becomes a switch hitter, but only if there is a stuffed bear in the room.

Or she's simply disturbed that Steve is carrying wallet sized cheesecake photos of himself for distribution. I know if any of my friends did that I'd be creeped out.

It has long been my goal to bring enlightenment to the masses. You, sir, have just helped me get one step closer to that goal. So, it is with all sincerity that I say "No, no, no, thank you!"

raoullefere · « **Reply #127 on:** 21 May 2009, 12:55 »

I'd tell you I was happy to have obliged, but, thinking about it, I can't really say that's true.

I am glad that there was no penalty box for all of the bad, unfunny jokes that I have told. Although having Hanners sitting in front of me keeping track of the time might have been all right.

maddness · « **Reply #132 on:** 22 May 2009, 10:12 »

OOhhhh ... Hanners touched Angus! So would it be Hangus or Angers? OOoh, ooohh, HANGERS!

Random832 · « **Reply #133 on:** 22 May 2009, 10:31 »

The sad thing is the joke wasn't bad originally, but the rules say that if you explain a joke it retroactively becomes bad. If he'd waited for the "OH LOL I GET IT" moment he would have been fine.

And you know you'd be there for precisely 120 seconds.

Well, plus or minus one picosecond, I figure.

Aegir · « **Reply #137 on:** 22 May 2009, 11:32 »

What's weird is that Hannelore's stopwatch doesn't seem to be digital. It's hard to know EXACTLY what time it is on an analog watch.

Mojo · « **Reply #138 on:** 22 May 2009, 11:38 »

The watch is just for show, she's calculating it far more precisely in her head.

akronnick · « **Reply #139 on:** 22 May 2009, 12:27 »

Yes, she's mentally counting 1,103,115,812,400 oscillations of a Cesium 133 atom.

(Hannelore really likes to count things)

Usually I just follow the script without fully appreciating the artwork, but I really liked Hanners's pose in this one.

So there's a sign indicating which penalty was received. What other Coffee of Doom infractions could there be?

A likely candidate is bad pickup lines used on the baristas.
