Faye wore a welding mask and apron in 2464, but also worked with bare arms and legs (which Jeph pointed out was a really bad idea).

Carol never wore her safety goggles. NOW SHE DOESN'T NEED THEM.

Zebediah · « **Reply #102 on:** 20 Aug 2015, 07:52 »

Safety goggles, people. Use them. I'm partly blind in one eye, not because of an accident but due to a congenital defect - and this has made me very protective of my one good eye, because basically I only get one mistake in that department.

I thought about that Faye face, and I looked again, and I'm not sure it's all that disturbing.

It's roughly the same expression my doctor had on when explaining what he was going to do about a couple spots on my back. Holding up the electrocautery wand, he said: "You're gonna smell steak cookin'."

It would seem that Faye has found a niche, doing what she loves for illicit money. I still want to see the chassis she's going to build for Pintsize; that is going to be epic.

Pintsize will finally realize his dream of having wanglimbs.

I do hope she and Dora finally sit down and talk at some stage.

Y'know, I've been rereading the comic, and recently I got up to when Hannelore is first introduced, way past that now, and does anyone else think she should grow her hair back out? Cause she looked really great like that and I'd love to see that hairstyle in the evolved art.

I certainly don't, but I have a thing for girls with short hair. My first kiss had about the same haircut as Hanners.

In any case, Hanners, be real. Who doesn't love fruit? This does open the potential for Hanners to feel stalked, a worry she might voice very vaguely, which could lead to a reappearance of the issues between Dora and Sven, WHO IS JUST TRYING TO BE NICE

Maybe Sven's growing up enough to be a justafriend with a woman. Before Faye jumped him he had been making some progress in that direction with her.

Real is not one Hannelore's skills. She has to put a lot of effort into it and relies heavily on her friends to save her when she inevitably fails.

We could all use friends like that.

BenRG · « **Reply #120 on:** 20 Aug 2015, 23:14 »

Hanners? I'm thinking that it was a lucky guess. Still, it's nice that Sven has grown enough as a man to actually want to thank someone who has done right by him!

Don't feel you have to rush. Something tells me that it will redefine 'slow boil'.

Precisely; I'm expecting her to have to query others to determine what, if any significance can be found in this. This leads to plenty of opportunity for comedic misunderstanding based on misread signals. Hopefully, she'll ask someone with a relatively stable brain (i.e. Marten) who will tell her that it's just a thank you gift, not some kind of bizarre mating ritual like those of some cuter animals.

Several years ago now, when I still worked in construction, I was working on a deck, and was using a miter saw to chop some of the boards to length.

Anyway, I stopped to take a short break, pushed my safety goggles up to wipe my face and was getting a drink of gatorade. Someone else, about a dozen feet away, was nailing up some railing. The wood was a bit hard and bouncy. He hit the nail a bit off perfect and it rebounded backwards, flew the four yards through the air, and struck me directly in the eye.

I had to have surgery on it 4 times, was out of work for nearly half a year, and I still can see nothing more than a large blur on that side.

SAFETY GUYS. ITS IMPORTANT.

They'll herp and derp at each other, collapse into laughter at those people on the other side of the fourth wall,, and then just to show he won't use the same gag twice, Jeph will have Hannelore succumb to her previous temptation to grab Sven's butt. Confusion will ensue and, in the WCDT, chaos.

I'm not a huge fan of couple portmanteaus, although I do love portmanteaus in general. That being said, I prefer "Svenners".

Zebediah · « **Reply #132 on:** 21 Aug 2015, 13:47 »

The portmanteau I prefer for a Hannelore-Sven relationship is "Notgonnahappen", though "Whatthehellareyouthinking" comes in a close second.

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #133 on:** 21 Aug 2015, 13:50 »

I really like how Hannelore is drawn today. I can't quite put my finger on why, though. Is her face a little rounder? Hair a little fuller? Something like that I guess….

They're just useful shorthand for describing lengthy plots, complex and oft-convoluted character interactions and the like whilst trying to draw comparisons in an analysis of the story.

Part of that is we don't want go back to what I call 'The Great Shipping Wars' from a few years back. It wasn't helpful, and was part of the reason Jeph, at one stage, threatened to shut down the Forum.

Hell, even I got a week lnng ban in that when the then Mods came down on us like a ton of bricks (I wasn't a Mod back then as you can gather)
