Well, if they went through Hanners' laundry, they're sterile enough to use in surgery.

 Poll
So, the only comfort you need is "southern"?  Then
Will you seek additional solace from Jim Beam, or Jack Daniels?- 6 (22.2%)
Will Arthur Giuness be ignored?- 2 (7.4%)
Can Alexander Keith help?- 1 (3.7%)
Is it going to get that far?  - 3 (11.1%)
How's Angus taking it?- 11 (40.7%)
Does Renee get a second chance?- 4 (14.8%)

Apparently, we'd like to know how Angus is taking it.  Personally, I think he's in much worse shape than Faye is now, but will bounce back faster.

And in a few minutes, something different.

For some reason I thought that the apartments in that building had their own washer/dryer units. Because I find it hard to believe that Hannelore would use a washing machine that someone else had used.

If the apartment building has communal washers, I'd put money on Hanners buying and installing her own washer and dryer.

It's definitely a stranger's pair, the only cast member who has a booty that would fit in those is Marigold, and she doesn't live in Hanner's building

Faye could probably fit in them, too.

Hanners then goes shopping, sees something nice and asks if she can try it on. She's told of course, so she puts it back and leaves the store. This continues all around town until someone says no and she knows it's safe to buy from them.

It might be Marigold's. It strikes me as the sort of thing that she'd buy in an ill-advised moment of trying to flaunt her newfound sexuality. She probably looked at it in the cold, hard light of day and thought: "God! What was I thinking?" It ended up at the bottom of her undies drawer until a washing machine fault brought it to Hannelore's apartment.

Either way, though, I can't see poor Hanners ever being able to look at the contents of that wash again! I wonder if we're going to follow Hannelore whist she shops for a replacement underwear supply including the only occasionally bad advice she gets from her friends (including Veronica)?

really shitty vodka is cheaper than, and as effective as, dedicated optical cleaning solutions).
It is good for cleaning decanters too.

If Hanners could bring herself to use communal laundry facilities, I would be very surprised; they are usually pretty grody. If she did use them, I would imagine that she would inspect the inside of the drum with a torch (USA: flashlight, not a burning brand). It really is a mystery how the luridly coloured panties got in there.

My guess is still that Marigold's washing machine broke down (possibly as a result of May trying to wash the sticky stuff off of her flexible outer sheath a few strips back) and that said pair of novelty panties (bought, quickly regretted and never worn but kept out of laziness) got mixed into Hanners' stuff through some unlikely confluence of events.

I dunno. Angus could have bought those for Faye, and now that he's gone, she could have thrown them out -- and they got mixed into Hanners laundry.

Or maybe Pintsize is being particularly cruel?

Knowing the layout of the apartments, I can't imagine they have ensuite washer/dryer set ups. Since Hanners's has lived there for quite a while, one must assume that she is perfectly capable of using the building's laundry, assuming it has one. Occam's Razor. Absent other evidence, the simplest explanation (She had one of those laundry moments that happen in all shared laundries) is probably the truth. She has her issues, but she's also an ex smoker.

A girl has to have some glaring contradictions. Apparently.

Is it cold in here?

We've seen the apartment's shared laundry room ("no drying after 10"). I'm haunted by a vague uncertain memory of seeing a washing machine in the background in Hannelore's apartment when Marten caught her posing with underwear on her head.

Ah! So that's 'Juicy'! You're got to wonder what manner of woman has a nickname like that and has it added even to her underthings!

I don't think that Hannelore will commit violence; she's too wary of her darker impulses to risk getting into a fight. I also doubt that Juicy is a new character; she's clearly a nocturnal person, given that Hanners has never seen her before. That said, I'm wondering if a brief period of trying to get even (in a passive-aggressive way) may lead her to learning something new about the human condition. Maybe even a new step only her path to getting closer to 'normal', at as she sees it.

Yes, I think that we're at the start of a new long arc. This makes sense as Jeph lost a day to unforeseen circumstances, so Monday's strip should have been Friday's.

Finally, I don't think that Beatrice will be involved unless Jeph wants to play with my theory about her, Veronica and Mrs A being college buddies. Hannelore doesn't really like her and wouldn't involve her except in extreme circumstances. Of course, who knows what Hanners may see as 'extreme'? :wink:

"Accurate" and "orbital bombardment" do not fit in the same sentence.

QC has never been one to be bothered with "semantics."
