I want to see Elliot try this sleeper hold of his when Faye's sober....

[pendrake]

For comic #2042...

1. Yay for Hannelore going dancing in the "Flashdance" outfit.  I think we will see quite a few guys drawn to her whilst dancing, and that will make for good comedy &/or drama.  It will be interesting to see how the rest of the cast act to "protect" everyone's favorite nervous-breakdown-waiting-to-happen.

2. Poor Faye, our southern punching belle is finding out that size and mass do count against you in a fight, as much as being drunk.  The way Faye was side-sneaking around Elliot in panel #2 in order to flank-attack him was pretty funny once I read the punchline panel and retroactively figured it out .

3. Good for Elliot feeling better despite love-confession rejection.  As I had said earlier, it may not have been the "best" thing to do, but it was the "correct" thing to do.  Elliot's look of relief was also well done.

4. Elliot should go to dancing too.  Past the initial awkwardness, he should spend as much time with the girl he cares about so much before she is gone.

5. Regardless of how things turn out with Padma, I think Marten has definitely made a friend in Elliot.  Which is also good, Marten could use more male friends at this time.  Plus it keeps ties with The Secret Bakery too, once Padma moves away.

6. I admit that I did not know that "Pond" was a band, either.  And also thought of Doctor Who (#11) companion Amy Pond ("Come along Pond(s)!").

7. "Flashdance" Hanners filler drawing is both cute and sexy, in my opinion.  Perhaps not simultaneously together, but definitely both .

[Welu]

Hanners pantsless does kinda confuse my brain. I'll agree it's both cute and creepy.

Faye in the background of panel 2 is really funny to me. I like today's comic a lot, it just hits me right so much.

[Soulsynger]

The thing Faye is gonna regret the most come next morning is that she tried to give Elliot an "Indian Burn" ... that is so primary school, she will have an embarassed fitz.
(Also, I apologize for using a semi-racist term ...)

Once I'm home I'll fix that whole "pantsless"-situation. ... I just can't let it stand like that, by thunder!

[Akima]

Which is also good, Marten could use more male friends at this time.

He probably could, especially ones less douchey than Steve.

[bhtooefr]

Yeah, I'm kinda creeped out by that filler pic, almost looks like it's trying to be cheesecake or something.

Not because it isn't sexy, but because it's Hanners. (And, it certainly does look like she's pantsless in the unused filler, and not wearing shorts, especially given 2041.)

(How long before we need that Weekly Comic Discussion strip, involving the bearhat guy, and saying not to be that guy?)

As for the comic, good to see that Elliot is handling it well now. (And, hopefully Jeph feels better soon, seeing his comments on Twitter.)

[Lubricus]

And, hopefully Jeph feels better soon, seeing his comments on Twitter.

+1

[WAYF]

Um, wow. He actually made a non-filler comic for tonight.

WHAT. A. CHAMPION. 

[Method of Madness]

If anything, this gets rid of any doubts that Elliot and Elliot the bouncer are one in the same, right?

[Sorflakne]

Either Elliot's built like an ox, or Faye really is blasted if she can't even lift his arm.

[Throg]

Aw c'mon, it's meant to be cute, NOT creepy, the Hanners filler art is just a reference to the old Flashdance poster.  Nothing more, nothing less, certainly not "zomg she's not wearing pants".  

I'm looking forward to some Padma/Faye drunken boxing.

[Lubricus]

I'm looking forward to some Padma/Faye drunken boxing.

OUCH! Didn't think about that... Sounds painful! 

[bhtooefr]

Ahh, too young to get the reference. Got it.

[pwhodges]

For comparison, and for those who don't know it, here is the original:

[Carl-E]

Still on your wall, eh? 

[jwhouk]

Oh, I remember the original, all right.

Keep in mind, shippers:

1. This is not Pittsburgh, and
2. Hannelore is very likely wearing underwear.

[SomeCanadianWeirdo]

Hanners also does all her own dancing.

[Arancaytar]

POND

My first association here is Doctor Who, not the band...

[Throg]

Hanners also does all her own dancing.

I did not know that. 

...

Another childhood illusion crumbles.   

[Near Lurker]

Of course she's wearing underwear.  But that's still pretty daring; she might as well be going out in just her underwear.

[pwhodges]

BTDT.

Twice.

[iduguphergrave]

Oh, come on. Isn't anyone gonna comment on how freakin adorable the last panel is? In her present condition, right now Faye's the ornery yappy pug to Elliot's german shepherd. But to see her trying to bring down someone twice her size to protect Marten is kinda really cute.

[GeoCorn]

In a fight between Faye and Elliot I still put my money on Faye.

[DSL]

I'm with ya, iduguphergrave. Terrier Faye is almost as cute as "NO nonononono" Faye in the preceding comic. And I admire Elliott's professionalism.

As for Flashdance Hanners, the poster is sexy, funny and cute. (EDIT: And Akima's Photoshoppery over in the fanart thread makes it even better). The art is nowhere near as creepy as some of the comments and speculation about it are.

[Interlude]

But to see her trying to bring down someone twice her size to protect Marten is kinda really cute.

Except that Elliot has not done anything at all threatening. I'm sorry, but I don't find drunken fits of stupidity very cute. Amusing, maybe. Very rarely adorable.

I actually hope that Marten does invite Elliot along. He seems to be doing better now, and it might be good for him to get a chance to talk to Padma again, face to face. I'm sure she doesn't want to leave on such a sour note (with him) any more than he does.

[Near Lurker]

I really hope he doesn't.  It'd be nice for them to part on a good note, but for Marten to invite him along would be well overstepping his boundaries.  After all, she invited him to have a good time; inviting someone likely to cause drama would just be wrong.

[pwhodges]

I was assuming that Padma will have invited both of them anyway, as she did for the hike; and they have met in the road on the way to the dance venue.

[Paranoid]

Yeah, I expect that Padma invited Elliot too.  It seems like her nature as well: remember that one of her big concerns about Elliot's confession was how he called in the next day.  Obviously she doesn't want to leave with any weirdness between her friends, and inviting Elliot is probably her way of saying "forget about it and have fun."  Now to find out if it actually works: I can't help but notice that Jeph seems to be steering two relationship dramas onto a collision course, and I'm sure if that's the case then he has plenty of hilarity planned for the event.

[Is it cold in here?]

What's the worst that could happen?

[Method of Madness]

I'm sorry, but I don't find drunken fits of stupidity very cute. Amusing, maybe. Very rarely adorable.

I'm guessing you don't find Tai as adorable as I do, then?

[Akima]

I'd better not mention that Harrison Ford didn't do all the action scenes in the Indiana Jones films, and Tom Cruise didn't really fly his jet fighter in Top Gun...

7. "Flashdance" Hanners filler drawing is both cute and sexy, in my opinion.  Perhaps not simultaneously together, but definitely both .

This required me to dredge up Michael Sembello out of the deepest recesses of my iTunes library... still trying to work up the courage to hit "genius" and see what other evils lurking down there have been stirred up..

[DSL]

I have only one criticism of Comic 2042 and I offer it somewhat hesitantly, because of Jeph's accounting of how it came to be, but here goes. A character secondary to that installment's events will pop on for one panel and vanish thereafter. Most of the time it's one of the AnPCs, who will deliver a line and vanish, even though the scene never shifts. This time it's Hanners. Her reax, even wordless, to whatever Faye's trying to do to Elliott would have added to this episode. Instead, it looks like she ran off; there are "camera" angles in 2042 which could have included her at least incidentally. As I said, I offer this criticism hesitantly because of Jeph's mentions on Twitter and Tumblr as to how 2042 almost didn't happen. I should also mention in fairness that I think Faye's antics in 2041, immediately preceding, are a good example of how to do what I'm talking about ... And Jeph handled it particularly well in one strip, post-"Dorapocalypse," in which the gang plus Veronica are walking along and encounter Sven. Hanners' background reax (and Tai's), though only incidental to the action, help make that strip.

EDIT: Then again, maybe we'll find out in 2043 that Hanners DID run off, still thinking Elliott is a knife killer or something. Or not.

[FunkyTuba]

Probably to go put on some underwear.

So, Elliott is one fo The Four Horsemen.

And Faye is cute at this point trying to take down the Elliyeti.

Meh, drunk chicks has it's drawbacks.

Eh, I don't think it'd cause much drama.

I do have a horrid suspicion of what might cause drama at the dance-place, but I'm keeping my mouth shut because I really hope it doesn't happen.

Let's get it out of the way: I suspect your horrid suspicion would involve Padma and Marten making teh kisses in front of Elliot.

EDIT: And I suspect Hanners is frozen in her tracks watching Faye try to "attack" Elliot.

Of course Harrison Ford didn't do all the action scenes in the Indiana Jones films.  Everyone knows Han Solo just did those movies for extra money during a recession in the smuggling trade.

Nope! Something even worse.

Only if what you mean by "worse" is "super awesome!!!!1111!!"

It wouldn't happen to involve Elliot doing something foolish, would it?

Or at least that you didn't mean it the way I read it...

That is exactly what I am hoping is going to happen.
