Hannelore the Unemployed

Dora breaks down and cries unhygenically on Hanners' shoulder

Dora tells Hannelore to be quiet and then secretly goes to see Sven and/or Faye to make up

Dora is visited by Princess Twilight Sparkle who gives much Friendship Advice

Sven walks into CoD to propose to Hanners

Everyone gets together to tell Hannelore to butt out of their personal lives

[BenRG]

Well, it is possible that we may ony have strips 3016 to 3019 this week, depending on Jeph's situation tomorrow.

I think that this new side to Hannelore is interesting. It would be entirely within Dora's rights to feel angry about her trying to pressure her into fixing her manifold friendship problems. That said, it is arguable that Dora needs help because she gets a bit too comfortable in her defensive position of 'no emotional complications because I'm in charge'. Tai has weakened those walls but, IMO, Dora still needs to put her past to bed, at least as far as Sven is concerned.

What else could happen this week? Well, Marten might follow Faye to work or we might see what Claire's post-Intern life is like. Or maybe we could spend a week with Emily, who has been recruited by a shadowy federal agency called SEMME to develop software for [[CLASSIFIED]]. Which is fine, so long as they promise not to kill her family.

[Rghfrgl]

I'm hoping for Mora and Svan.

[Welu]

I wonder if we will see Winslow or maybe PT410X. I miss Winslow.

[cesium133]

Fun fact: Excluding guest and filler comics, Winslow has appeared eight times between #2000 and now.

[cesium133]

Tomorrow's comic will be the end of an era. Regular strips will resume on Tuesday.

I'm assuming this to mean that Randy the Eternal Bandicoot is finally going to die permanently.

[Kugai]

Oooooh, ominous sounding

[Omega Entity]

Comic.

(click to show/hide)

Goodbye Yelling Bird, we knew you and cloaca well.

[DrBear]

Cesium, you were close, but...I guess Randy really IS eternal.

(click to show/hide)

Apparently, it's goodbye to  our  feathered favorite some dick-ass dicksissel.

[Undrneath]

But what about Sweet Tits and Shame Orb?

[SubaruStephen]

So that's it? He's just gone?


*breaks out the champagne*

One less cloaca-head spouting abuse at the world.

[Aziraphale]

Can't say I'll miss the old bastard.

[Mmeaninglessnamee]

Press F[uck Shit Ass-nipples-dicks] to pay respects to our foulmouthed friend

[osaka]

Apparently, Sweet Tits and Shame/Pride Orb might not be going anywhere. And for ol' fucker here, he might appear on those shenanigans, but not as a filler by himself. At least according to his twitter.

[tangerinewarrior]

So long yelling bird. You were a ripe bastard, but you were our ripe bastard. May your cloaca always be primed for rocket launches.

[amykathleen]

I'm actually really, really sad about this.  I love Yelling Bird!  I have the Yelling Bird Squishable!  Yelling Bird, while of course not a good role model in general, is nonetheless my role model for creative insults.
I will miss you, Yelling Bird.  I'll remember you forever and I'll do my best to carry on your filthy legacy in my own life.  <3

[jwhouk]

The YB Squishable was more tolerable than the actual YB.

[cesium133]

So that's it? He's just gone?


*breaks out the champagne*

One less cloaca-head spouting abuse at the world.

Be kind to your fine-feathered friends.

[SomeCanadianWeirdo]

I'll believe it when I don't see it.   

[Perfectly Reasonable]

This is bad. Really bad. Because you know Yelling Bird will be replaced by something even more obnoxious.

[Kugai]

So, KFC finally coughs up with the bugger.

[Method of Madness]

I'd have been fine with never seeing a new YB comic, but it feels weird hearing that YB will never show up again. Especially since it's only true until it isn't, so it's kind of a meaningless statement. Eh, filler is filler I guess.

(Dunno why people hate Randy though)

[electromgneticDstroyosaur]

THEY MUST JUST HATE BANDICOOTS, MR MADNESS.  THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER REASON TO HATE RANDY.  HE IS A BANDICOOT.  HE'S NOT ANNOYING AT ALL.  HE'S A BANDICOOT.  THAT'S A MARSUPIAL.  OH, DID I MENTION HE'S A BANDICOOT?  THIS CAN'T POSSIBLY GET OLD!  HE'S RANDY!

[Method of Madness]

It's not just old, it's eternal!

But yeah, Randy's shown up far fewer times than YB and he's far less, well...terrible. (I mean, if you don't count the skulls and the almost certain genocide. Although we don't know what YB does on his day off, so who knows.)

[Penquin47]

Today that stupid bird and his sister got kidnapped by hill people.  It was the best day ever.

[FunkyTuba]

He seems to have gotten fond of those snarky character pages... He could do a year of filler out of his cast of thousands.

Ok maybe 6 mos

[electromgneticDstroyosaur]

far less, well...terrible. (I mean, if you don't count the skulls and the almost certain genocide. ...)

By those standards, Hitler may well be less terrible than Yelling Bird.

[BenRG]

Pah! That Bird's a liar! He'll be back as soon as Jeph needs him again! Meanwhile, he and the rest of the YB team are probably off to Aruba to have a six-star vacation funded by all the cash they embezzled from Jeph's Patreon!

It's true though - Conventions is where Nerds go to spawn! I'm sure of it!

[snubnose]

I actually enjoyed Yelling bird because his insults have been so drastic I wouldnt have known how to insult people this drastically.

Pfft. This poll has a serious lack of a "none of the above" option.

[Wimblesaurus]

It wasn't even a real YB strip.  I feel cheated, or at least I would if I was reading QC out of anything but habit at this point.

[Cajun]

Yelling Bird's eventual return will be glorious and you all know it.

Until then, farewell Yelling Bird you magnificent bastard. o7

[foolsguinea]

No! Yelling Bird!

[Mordhaus]

I think I am more scared that YB will be out from under watchful eyes. I don't think it is coincidental that the last time that happened, a little something called the Black Plague showed up.

[DrBear]

I'd like to put a write in vote in the poll:

Hanners tries to patch up Yelling Bird and Jeph, but ends up cursing worse than Yelling Bird

[Welu]

I wonder if we might see Yelling Bird in the end of year strips, where we get to see Randy, Harriet and Shame Orb among other. Either way, it's cool that Jeph has made the decision to up the overall tone.

[Method of Madness]

Apparently that's a possibility. Just not these types of YB stripes.

[Method of Madness]

Yay robot fighting!

[Neko_Ali]

Huh. It's kind of interesting that most of the people watching are robots themselves. I didn't expect that to be the case.

[Rghfrgl]

If you lose you get put in one of those Pintsize's.

[kent_eh]

I like that Orange's head appears to be attached with a Rock-em Sock-em Robots type mechanism.

[wlewisiii]

Well now, is that a subtle way to find out where Faye is really at or is it a subtle way to say the Bubbles isn't too happy with her place in the world? I'm left wondering because of the facial expression Bubbles wears in panel  5.

I'm not surprised by Faye. I am by Bubbles. I only wonder at the moment about authors intent.

[Stanistani]

Bubbles is a subtle character. This will be fun to watch develop.

[BenRG]

I agree that there is a big chunk of story with Bubbles that we haven't heard yet. Either she's used to humans pouring moral scorn on the fights and was anticipating the wrong reaction or she has her own issues with it. Either way, she seems genuinely surprised with Faye's reaction. It's possible that in exploring Bubbles' reaction, Faye may find herself ankle-deep in unexpected complications.

I'm not surprised that Faye reacts this way. It seems in character that she'd find violence and causing destruction entertaining. It just seems to be... her.

The audience is interesting. I'm seeing humans and robots there. Obviously this isn't just one side exploiting the other. Corpse Witch has obviously tapped into a genuine market!

[katsmeat]

This does seem a bit like banger racing in Ferraris, given what we know about the cost of chassies.

[Storel]

That's why they have repairs on site. Repairing the chassis is much cheaper than buying a new one.

Beside's, Momo's chassis was a fancy near-lifelike custom Japanese model. I'm sure the models we see fighting are more like Fords and Chevies than Ferraris.

Heck, what did Momo's chassis cost? $30,000 or something like? These days you can hardly even get a Ford or a Chevy for that little, can you? I know Ferraris are more like $75,000 to $100,000 or more.

[Akima]

Do robots have "junk", and if so, why?

[BenRG]

Probably closer to Hummers because of all the armour plate and power boosting.

Do robots have "junk", and if so, why?

No, they don't have 'junk', at least those sorts of chassis don't. You've just learned something very disturbing about the level of anger in Faye.

[chaospersonified]

No, they don't have 'junk', at least those sorts of chassis don't. You've just learned something very disturbing about the level of anger in Faye.

For some reason, my first thought on reading this was that Faye's bot's kill move will involve welding an iron dingaling onto the opponent and targeting that

[Is it cold in here?]

The Jude Law  chassis did, though not accurately human-ilke.

[Detachable Felix]

Ah yes, Uncanny Valley, but with an erection... *shudders*

[kent_eh]

Do robots have "junk", and if so, why?

Why?

Ask Pintsize.
I'm sure he would if he could.

But only one, this time.
