Gotta start it out with a poll - YMMV

[westrim]

Hannelore of course- though there surely will be people who screw around and flip the Bird. I challenge this forum to give any of the other 3 more than 20 votes. Also, I finally noticed what Hannelore's shirt says and giggled. Why did it have to be giggles *hat and whip*

[JD]

Sara!

[Mojo]

I miss Raven...

/pout.

[Is it cold in here?]

Someone has to move into Dora's old apartment, and Raven's love life would be easier to accommodate if she didn't have a roommate to deal with.

[jwhouk]

Hannelore of course- though there surely will be people who screw around and flip the Bird. I challenge this forum to give any of the other 3 more than 20 votes.

You had to say it, dincha?

[westrim]

Sara!

Sara's dead, Jim. The Allosaurus got her.

Hannelore of course- though there surely will be people who screw around and flip the Bird. I challenge this forum to give any of the other 3 more than 20 votes.

You had to say it, dincha?

Well, I originally said "dare" and "10", but decided those were respectively too confrontational and too easy. I notice the other 3 still don't have a single vote between them.

[akronnick]

Yelling bird will simply Skull fuck the Poll to death.

Little bastard has absolutely no scruples.

[snubnose]

Dont think Dora even tries the game, so ... Hanners win.

That Bird ? Haha. No way. Theres a reason he has such a mouth. He has not much else.

[akronnick]

D'awww.

Hanners wishes she could be a real girl.

Or Kimiko Ross, you know, whichever.

[Elden]

"When I was a kid I always imagined I'd be normal by now."

She was already my favourite character, but I identify with her even more now!

Can't wait till that OCDelightful shirt of hers is available, I wanted one so bad as soon as I first saw it.

[westrim]

"When I was a kid I always imagined I'd be a normal cybernetic space princess on Mars by now."

Oh, Hanners, ye of small dreams. When I was a kid, I got all hung up on multiverse theory and decided I not only wanted to be a god, I WAS a god. Just, you know, not of this universe, but infinity-1 of others. That way, however sucky things got here, there was some universe where I ground-pounded the 9/11 hijackers just as they boarded their planes. Or honeycomb shielded Indonesia from the tsunami. Or prevented the massive death in Haiti. Wait...

But now xkcd has crushed those dreams.



I hate Randall now.

....

   

[raoullefere]

Hanner's shirt—Shades of Jimmy Valmer! (South Park's resident "Handi-Capable" student).

I can relate: if I'd had my childhood wishes, things would be different—for one thing, I'd now be able to incinerate people at will with fireballs* (yes, without having to cart a flamethrower or napalm about).

*(Okay, so it was the Flames of the Faltine—whaddya expect when you put a Giant-Size Dr. Strange comic in the hands of a nine-year-old?)

So you just let New Orleans drown ?!?!?!

What kind of deity are you ?!?!?!

You lousy cold-hearted bastard!!!!!!

[Mad Cat]

Yelling Bird would win the battle...

... by fucking it to death.

[Tuitsuro]

Daww, Hanners wants to be real peoples. 

[Border Reiver]

Nice touching strip with Pintsize to bring me back from the glurge.  Thanks for starting my Monday on a positive note, and with a poll to!

[NeverQuiteGoth]

Best Pintsize Punchline ever?

[jonarus_drakus]

Hanners is the riegning champ thus far... i can see only one posible threat and i dare not name "it" here (mainly because its not a poll option, but meh).

[MentallyInept]

I don't post here often, but I have to say that Monday's panel 3 is possibly the best 3/4 profile I have seen from Jeph.

Well done sir, well done.

[raoullefere]

I'd noticed that, too—I also thought the full profile in the next panel also very nice, and among his best.

[Schmorgluck]

Living in the same building as Faye and Marten (and soon Dora) is the closest to have roommates Hanners seems to be able to handle (for now?).

[Heliphyneau]

Well done sir, well done.

Agreed -- actually, panels 3 and 5 of Hanners are really exceptional.  I'm very impressed with Jeph's artistic skill.  The only concern will come when/if he approaches the "uncanny valley," but odds are he'll notice such a thing and either hold off or torture us with it.

You lousy cold-hearted bastard!!!!!!

I left out several hundred major events that I thought could do with some changing but yes, I'd let the city drown. The people and important/dangerous stuff I'd save, but that was a fukken stupid place to build a city.

[zagraf]

The only concern will come when/if he approaches the "uncanny valley," but odds are he'll notice such a thing and either hold off or torture us with it.

And when the singularity hits, he will BECOME QC.

[sitnspin]

Awww, Hanners.

Bt, normalcy is highly over rated. I'd be satisfied with basic stability.

[Kugai]

But think of all the interesting people you've met Hanners


Including your future wife



*Whistles Innocently*

[Akima]

Now I can't shed the image of Hanners as cyborg queen, and the population of the solar system with spooky red eye-implants...

[BjornTheDim]

I almost never post, but I just wanted to say that the last few strips have been fantastic.  Bravo on the artwork, bravo on the writing.

[zmeiat_joro]

Panel 3 is one of the most touching moments in all of QC. I cried.

I...bluh? Is it really that, I don't know, is it really a reference that most people would get? I've never heard of it and I can't even wrap my head around the wikipedia article. :1

Maybe I'll go sit in the corner with my unchewed plate of food. ;o;

[Rimwolf]

I...bluh? Is it really that, I don't know, is [the singularity] really a reference that most people would get? I've never heard of it and I can't even wrap my head around the wikipedia article.

I first heard about it reading http://dresdencodak.com. Among other things, it would help you understand why the remark above that Hanners wants to be a normal girl, "or Kimiko Ross", is so damn funny. That Wikipedia page had a great quote, though, someone dismissing the concept of the singularity as "The Rapture for nerds".

[Shmee]

The art today looks GREAT!  Hanners in panel 3 is brilliantly done.  The anatomy, the expression.  Everything about it.  It sounds weird, but I think that one panel may be one of the best moments, so far, of the art in the whole comic.

Congratulations, Jeph!  You have come a LONG way and the art is looking fantaaastic!

And it fits your Avatar perfectly, Carl-E.

Part of your issue may simply be that the Singularity applies generally to all fields of human inquiry, which is of course incredibly vast. It's easier to go field by field; for instance, the Singularity for programming is generally considered to be the first self sufficient AI, when we will have effectively created something smarter than ourselves. Most in the field believe this will probably happen before 2050- and that's pessimistically.

The term means different things to different people, but essentially the Singularity is the point past which we can no longer predict what will happen. We know AIs are coming- whether they kill us all or we coexist peacefully, however, simply can't be known yet. We know nanoscale assembly is on its way, but we don't know if we will grey-goo the universe when we achieve it.

@comic: Did someone see Madagascar recently? Does that shirt refer to his self-esteem (unlikely)? And I thought she had another nickname.

Also, that's cold Marten, real cold. Cold as rubies.

Why didn't she pack the art?

And Jeph; neither does a message typed too fast.

[akronnick]

Oooooo.

Ziiiiiiiinnnngggggg!!!!!

Marten just ripped on Faye and Dora!

When Faye figures out that he just compared her to the Wicked Witch of the East Marten's gonna be in Trouble.

With a captial 'T'.

And that rhymes with 'P'.

And that stands for:

Pintsize!






Did I Just cross the Wizard of Oz stream with the Music Man stream.

I think I did.

Damn.

Do I get a slow clap too?

I'm not sure that it's appropriate in this situation, but here you go.

It's out of my hands now.

Could anyone make out what Faye's T-shirt says?

Move it on Australia Day. For those who are from Australia (and those who are not if you still like to move it)

YAY ! Comic ! 

Err, who added Faye in yesterdays poll afterwards ! Not fair ! She wasnt there in the beginning !

Sign that I'm a geekburger: I find it strange that Dora is the one wearing the head scarf and not Faye (who wore one in the past while Dora did not).
