Hanners is really rocking the 80's Dirty Dancing look in this strip. I like it!

1. Panel-for-panel, Hanners looks great for this strip. I must say that I was wondering at "why" she was wearing such an outfit until the punchline of #2041.

Hanners' off-the-shoulder outfit is, I think, a shout-out to that worn by Jennifer Beals in Flashdance. Dancing, even more perhaps than drumming, is "counting with your whole body", so it should appeal to Hanners. The cleanliness of the average club? Not so much.

I confess I had never heard of Merce Cunningham and had to look him up. But then, according to a quotation on Wikipedia, he thought that the I Ching was published in the 1950s... So I guess we're even.

She did that already in one strip when she tried to fix Marten's thumb that he hit with a hammer.

I just noticed something... has Hanners ever shown this "much" skin in an open social interaction before? She's growing with her challenges...

She's worn tank-tops where you can see her bra-straps to work.

Woa Hanners looks really cute! I keep thinking that Faye's going to do something stupid.

Skewbrow · « **Reply #60 on:** 24 Oct 2011, 07:00 »

Yeah. May well be that Hanners has spent 18 hours (or more) polishing her Flashdance. Too bad the drummer may not
get to show off those moves on stage, if Deathmole ever gets a gig!

It's a relief to see Faye with the rest of them. At this point she is more likely to just embarrass herself in an epic way, but that's ok. She (and her reputation) will survive. It doesn't feel likely that she would hurt herself (or her relationship) during their evening's entertainment.

4. I personally would love to see a ballroom dancing bit . Not for the current story-arc, just in general at some point.

That strikes me as something we'd see in a Wil and Penelope strip. He seems like he might be the kind of person who'd have learned it, and she seems like the kind of person who'd love to do it, especially if it meant dressing up in some sort of fancy dress.

DSL · « **Reply #63 on:** 24 Oct 2011, 08:02 »

My advice to Marten at this point is drawn from personal experience: The more drunk the people around you are, the better the dancer you are. And in my case, even the sober ones had to admit I was dancin' like I'd never danced before.
"No, seriously," they'd say. "You've never done this before, have you?"

Hanners kinda reminds me of a friend who'd go from oneinterest/obsession to another. First, there were stacks of books about bicycles. Then one day, wham, thousand-dollar bike and industrial-grade spandex everywhere. Then, books about motorcycles. Next thing you know, a BMW road machine (well, EVERYONE has a Harley these days) -- gotta give him credit, though; his last couple job interviews took him from one end of the US to the other on that motorbike, plus a couple other trips just for fun, not to mention motorbiking through Croatia (though let's be reasonable; he flew over and rented another motorbike). Nothing but admiration for that guy. If Hanners had his focus, she'd have her own space station. WITH a CoD franchise on board. And then she'd move to the moon.

themacnut · « **Reply #64 on:** 24 Oct 2011, 10:02 »

Someone's gonna end up with Faye's vomit on them before the night is over. Maybe Marten, but more likely Padma or Elliot (assuming he shows). Possibly even poor Hannelore-I can see it now, Faye BLORRRFFing all over her, and the poor girl going completely BSOD and requiring yet another hard reset. Along with a disinfectant scrub and a long scalding hot shower.

jwhouk · « **Reply #65 on:** 24 Oct 2011, 10:47 »

A note from someone who lived through the 1980's and survived: Hannelore looks less like Jennifer Beals and more like Olivia Newton-John from her Physical days.

SomeCanadianWeirdo · « **Reply #66 on:** 24 Oct 2011, 11:03 »

Agreed. Beals didn't wear a headband, Olivia did in the "Physical" video. Of course the blonde hair helps lead to the comparison. It is possible Jeph simply meant her to look like a typical dancer in their practice clothes, since he was 3 when Flashdance came out.

Paranoid · « **Reply #69 on:** 24 Oct 2011, 13:06 »

I'm starting to worry about Faye. She is way too happy for someone that's drunk on Coping Mechanism. To me it looks like she's in serious self-denial mode, and if that's the case she is not going to be pleasant to be around when she finally does crash.

In other news, yeah Hannelore! You can always trust her presence to lighten any situation.

GeoCorn · « **Reply #70 on:** 24 Oct 2011, 13:22 »

am I the only one who noticed that Jeph didn't fill in the space between Martin's fingers with red on the third panel? When I was watching on his live stream I was thinking "I bet he did that on purpose to see if any nitpicking jerks like me would mention it"
Anyway, for the actual content, I don't think Faye seems way too happy. Obviously she's in serious self-denial mode; that's why she got plastered. Sounds like she fully intends on going with Marten and Hanners. Maybe she'll catapult Jimbo across the room?

The cover is just that way. Hanners' fingers were covering the Green and Peach spots on the back cover before Marten took the book.

That was just a plastic face-shield for protection against splash etc. A welding mask is very different. I hope it is not necessary to warn anybody here not to confuse the two, but I've seen the results of arc-welding with inadequate eye protection in the ER at work, and it is SO not pretty.

I'm in the same boat. It's funny to see some of the fashions over the last year or so and think about how they'd fit in with what girls were wearing when I was in high school.

I think that Faye is going to go out and end up having a long heartfelt discussion with Jimbo, who happens to be at the club getting ideas for a new book.
By the end of the night Faye will sober up and realize that there is no reason to panic, thanks to Jimbo.

Gonna is a properly spelled word when you don't spell it with an i

Considering how Hanners reacted when Marten and Amir saw her "underpants action"... I can't really picture her going pantless without another strong medication.

Not that it's not a good piece of filler art; I just don't see Hanners that way.

Near Lurker · « **Reply #84 on:** 24 Oct 2011, 23:41 »

Wait, when did she worry about Marten and Amir seeing her underpants? All I remember is her scrubbing herself down in their bathroom and once walking into CoD trouserless.

Hannelore and public nudity go together like Russel Brand and... public nudity.

Akima · « **Reply #85 on:** 24 Oct 2011, 23:42 »

Jeph! What are you doing to me? Ever since yesterday I've been improbably imagining Hanners instead of Jennifer Beals in the famous audition scene, and now this?! Seriously adorable filler though.

You know you've been studying too much ancient history when you see today's strip and think that Hannelore is wearing a toga.

I don't think it was intended to be sexy really. She was wearing shorts and sitting like that with an over sized top you couldn't see them. And then ships set sale.

Also, now we know that Faye IS coming with Marten to the dance. Could be interesting.

No way. If there's anything the 80s taught me, it's that nothing on this earth brings people together like the magic of dance!

I was taught it was goblins and the Magic Dance.

I guess it's all about the angles, but it certainly looks like Elliot gained 30 lbs between the last two panels. Maybe Faye's chubbiness is contagious!
