My internal dialogue reading today's strip:
-Panel 1: "Dang that's a nice office"
-Panel 2a/b: "Oh ho, what's hanner's mum up to now? Also that dude gets serious head sweats"
-Panel 3: "Oh my goodness! Excitement and intrigue! What is this? Evil Clone?! Secretly running an evil MegaCorp?!"
-Panel 4: "Maaan, little bit of an anticlimax"

I mean it was still great, funny as heck, but sometimes I wish we had more outlandish/adventurous plots, like the space station arc. Not quite to the extreme of Hannelore's evil clone twin destroying the world sort of level, but something outside of the normal everyday goings on perhaps.

[Carl-E]

I think it's "Kill your friends, kill them with a knife"

The second one, yeah.  The first one is from the comic where she had an illegal baton. 


And there are probably other unwanted thoughts we don't even know about... some people are better at suppressing them than others. 



What happens if her meds remove too many of her inhibitions?  Who (besides the road crew) is going to die first...?

[Border Reiver]

Hanners looks disturbingly convincing as a Bond-villain mother's daughter. But the final panel suggests not so much a five-year-plan, so much as... a vision of the future? Is she a precog? Or is it her mother's five year plan for her to take over as head of Evilco?

Does it matter?

Let's hope Jeph rolls out this storyline, it'll be awesome!

Just so long as she doesn't forget "No Monologues!"

[Loki]

In fact, give her the whole Evil Overlord List. She will be delighted. She will probably add 1000 items to it too.

Hanners seems like the person who would do a depth-first search on emergencies (cf. the relevant xkcd).

I would also like some more outlandish arcs. Like the violent buddhist monks, Steve's ex-Soviet Foe Yay girlfriend, agent Turing etc.

"Join me Hannelore, and we shall rule the Galaxy Mother and Daughter!"

"What? Why should I share rule of the Galaxy with YOU?" **BLAST**

Yes.

As far as we know Steve's life has yet to be engulfed by butts. So Hanners' psychic abilities are surely still in question.

Though I guess we haven't seen Steve for a little while so who knows what possible butt related adventures he could be having.

[TinPenguin]

We've not seen him for a while because Cosette has been pimping out his butt.

[cesium133]

Well, it is implied that Steve has had a butt-related adventure involving Claire and a $20 transaction.

Warning - while you were typing an asteroid collided with the earth and destroyed all life.

Massive lols at today's comic (which I didn't realize I'd failed to see last night, though it's no great surprise given how busy I was).  I thought at first we were actually going to see Mrs. Ellicot-Chatham (does she still have both names?) herself, actually doing some corporate thing which would end up impacting Marten's or Faye's life without her even knowing it, or something of that sort.  But this was better.

Seriously, though, what exactly does M. E-C.'s company do?  And why the hell does she need such an immense office?  What could you possibly do with all that space?  Aside from being intimidating, which is pretty redundant when you're the CEO and can destroy someone's life with a phone call.

[mtmerrick]

Ok, so actual comic discussion: is it a computer virus or a physical virus?

[cesium133]

Could be both.

[celticgeek]

Snow Crash?

[Method of Madness]

*brain tries to process how that would work*

 

Easy. AnthroPCs.

[Kugai]

This isn't a pineapple under the sea, it's a coffee shop under an iron fist.

And the difference is?


Nothing like a bit of exposition to move a plot along.

Hello there, glad to meet you!
Welcome to the worlds of Bikini Bottom and Questionable Content. My name is Loki. People affectionately refer to me as "that weird guy with a degree in comics and cartoons".
Those worlds are inhabited far and wide by creatures we call "characters".
For some people, characters are a source of entertainment.
Others use them for projecting everything they feel onto them and over-analyzing their behavior.
As for myself... I used to waste time consuming both.
You may wonder about the differences between the two worlds.
In one, creatures do pointless things and occasionally have some drama. In the other.... well, wait. There is no difference.

Now tell me. Are you a boy? Or a girl?

I think my signature answers that.


OMG!!!

Hanners is C. Montgomery Burns' lovechild!!!!   

[Method of Madness]

Hanners is Rodney Dangerfield?

[DSL]

Bio electronic gel packs? Is there a cheese to be taken to sickbay?

[Sorflakne]

Hanners in a powersuit.  I approve.

Pintsize got a virus that was both computer and physical, when he got those weird thumbs.

[mtmerrick]

That was a faulty firmware upgrade, not a virus.

[Method of Madness]

...true. But there's no reason to think a virus couldn't do that.

[Rghfrgl]

Hanners in a powersuit.  I approve.

For half a second my mind registered that as power armor. Now that would be terrifying. And she can probably get one too.

[Storel]

Exactly. A virus that propagates via firmware updates sounds reasonable to me.

I may have made a live-action version of Hannelore's imagination for my student film ...

[pwhodges]

Welcome to the forums.  That's quite the entrance ticket you've provided - well done, indeed!

Very cool.  I like this.

[Indicible]

Next step: get Dora and Faye Dust 514 dropsuits.

[DrBear]

Was that map in the background stolen from U.N.C.L.E. headquarters?
(points if you get why)

[kees]

Thanks! Glad you guys enjoyed it.

I've been reading QC for a long time, and 2443 happened just as I was looking for a really short story I could turn into a single-page screenplay.

As for the map, we seriously lucked out. While finding a place that had a great view, we stumbling on that location and it already had a world (domination) map on the wall! It was clearly meant to be.

I made sure to wear my pintsize t-shirt while filming. Seemed only appropriate. 

[Welu]

Nice wee film. Good amount of angles. (Also a film student.)

[Storel]

Very spiffy film short. Nice job, thanks for posting it!
