Dawwwww Hanners as a Cetacean Biologist - Hmmmm, that might work.

As for the other thing,

Raven - Harley Quinn
Faye - Wonder Woman
Dora - Rogue
Hanners - Terra

What is Faye wearing?

Kugai · « **Reply #52 on:** 18 Jul 2011, 22:25 »

I think a Faye version of Wonder Woman would be tight slack with a broad leather unibelts, combat boots, the famous strapless top and a leather jacket.

Willis' Dora really, REALLY looks like Marten. And although I'd rather not, his Hanners makes me think of Joyce as seen in DoA.

mmmm....those sound good. make me think of pankeggs.

....i tried to find a decent description/recipe/video but no one makes them the way i remember making them! (Start making fried egg until it's almost fully cooked, then pour pancake batter on top. NOM NOM NOM)

That sounds good, too. I usually park a fried egg on top of a pancake or two, or a ... Waffle.

Hannelore looks like Raven's question aged her twenty years.

SirDudley · « **Reply #66 on:** 19 Jul 2011, 12:25 »

So, now we have three Butts Disease victims: Jeph, Dave Willis and now Hanners. Then again, it IS Faye's butt, so Hanners' reaction is completely understandable.

Although, random geographical question: Is Everest still the tallest mountain in the world? Or did it swap places again with K2 like it does every so often?

1. It would have to be Faye as X-Men's Rogue since she has the rack and southern for it. ("rouge" Rogue? get it...? ... ... *crickets & tumbleweed* ... *lowers head and slinks off-stage*)

2. Marten as Martian Manhunter, being such an under-rated but steady & staple character of the DCUniverse.

3. Penelope, besides being Pizza Girl, would probably make a better Supergirl than Hannelore. (Harley / "Hanners" Quinn for her, as I remarked earlier)

4. Raven would have to be Starfire, the nice girl from outer space with an awesome rack.

Kugai · « **Reply #72 on:** 19 Jul 2011, 19:24 »

But would that make Cosette Raven?

dr. nervioso · « **Reply #73 on:** 19 Jul 2011, 20:44 »

I feel like there's a perverted joke or pun involving pintsize as a supervillain, but I lack the necessary comic book nerdom. All I turn up in my file for perverted comic files is spiderman spiderweb euphoria fluid.

DSL · « **Reply #74 on:** 19 Jul 2011, 20:54 »

Best I've got would be that Pintsize would try to reconfigure his chassis, there would be an accident, and he would become an open-source reality-altering supervillain named Mxyzpt410x-lk.
No one would know the difference.

Also, Cosette as Squirrel Girl.
Hanners as the latest incarnation of Terra, because she can make dirt her bitch.

EDIT: Aaaaaaand never mind. Dave Kellett shows us Hanners in her element.

Welp, it's never happened to me before, and maybe it doesn't count because it's a guest strip, but I completely thought that was Marten until my second read-through.

That's funny - I did too, until I read your comment. And went back to the comic. Even then, it's only really the earring that gave it away.

Still, I've often thought they look kinda similar to each other.

I would have NEVER guessed a guest strip from Dave Kellett. That's it, Jeph's going Hollywood on us now. Pretty soon, he'll be hitting up Mrs. Kellett for a script idea for a new sitcom, "Hipster City".

Here's another one who thought it was Marten. The reaction in the first panel ... Yeah, that's my excuse.

Cute strip. Could have done without the last panel though - it'd have been better ending at Dorten's mind quietly breaking.

Hanners being friends with a defense network satellite. This does not surprise me in the least. What does make me go

is how said satellite survived atmospheric reentry completely intact.

He just took the transport down like anyone else visiting the station. Either that or he hitched a ride back on STS-135.

Yes but how will he get back up? Now that the current american government administration has effectively killed NASA...?

jwhouk · « **Reply #88 on:** 20 Jul 2011, 17:23 »

HannerDad has his ways of getting up there himself, right?

I imagine him to be something of a cross between Richard Branson, Bill Gates and T. Boone Pickett, with a bit of Mad Scientist thrown in.

He probably has his own version of SpaceShipOne that he developed as an easier way of getting up and down from his station - which I would have to believe is probably lower in Earth orbit than the ISS.

In spite of the lack of jokes or action, this is easily my favourite of the week. All the details, from the facial expressions, to the sword and the business cards, are terrific.

By the expression on Marigold's face, I'd say it's not going well for her.

*opens thread, opens reply tab* Warning - while you were reading 2 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post.
I haven't written anything yet!
I guess this removes my right to complain about people copying the warning message in the future, though.

Anyway, is the the first shot where we've been able to see the whole of COD in one shot? For some reason I thought it was wider. Also, that door is to the bathroom since people have exited/entered it directly from the main shop, so where is the door to the basement? In the bathroom?

I instantly root for Dale in this scene, if only because he's using a mug while Marigold has a disposable cup. Though I recall some calculations somewhere of the recourse use of a mug versus that of a disposable cup that was dis favorable to the mug. Eh, I prefer Alliance anyway. They have night elf mohawks.

I think I'm rambling, must sleep.

As a resident of Southern California living 40 miles from JPL (and a regular attendee of their annual open house), I have a strong desire for our computer monitor to transmit the matter of my hands. NASA is not manned spaceflight. NASA is not even mostly manned spaceflight. It is only a portion of the many many things they do, including that aerospace bit (read: better aircraft); in the case of JPL, all our robotic missions.

And frankly, I agree with the decision. The manned program shot itself in the foot when it started and canceled three viable replacements for the shuttle for 15 years and then wasted 4 years on the completely unimaginative constellation program (in the details, not the mission statement). It's also been lackluster about cutting the cost per pound and inhibited the growth of commercial spaceflight with an overly paternal attitude. It was a bit doomed from the start with the wildly underestimated cost of turnaround, spiraling complexity, and vast reductions in scope that radically altered what would have been more favorable economy of scale (15 orbiters would have been much cheaper per shuttle per flight before it got scaled back to 4).

We need people up there, performing experiments, no question. But the shuttle just wasn't very good at that. We need to get cargo into space. The shuttle was okay at that. And most of all, we need to get more that 240 miles away from this rock. The shuttle couldn't do that period. We had a 7 year delay between Apollo and the shuttle, remember, and I'm pretty sure NASA did some stuff during that time.

The lower the orbit the more debris to contend with, though. I'll bet it's at a Lagrange point, and he uses a red Gundam to get to it.

Isn't the toilet meant to be a partitioned-off inset corner rather than a separate room?

Not in any cafe that I know of. People kinda like nice solid walls between crapcans and places with food. And the door is set into a wall every time we've seen it, anyway.

The problem it seems was that I had just woken up; I feel more coherent now.
