is that its tongue or a plate?
Yes.
Makes Hannalore's less qualified biodonor even less likeable. Not only does she completely ignore her daughter's requests and preferences, she abuses her daughter's vulnerabilities so as to gain corporate advantage. Where's spookybot when you need them...
I came back today to see tomorrow's strip, forgetting that it was Friday! :-( Does this count as a Friday cliffhanger?
Most of the time I know I'm little more than an accumulation of excrement. But when HammerMom appears, I know I am a bouquet of flowers. Vive la difference!
That horse is much nicer than she deserves.
Is Robohorse serving the drink up with his tongue?
I thought they had the serving tray clenched in their jaws, but their tongue unfolding into a tray is an amazing image.
Nice manga collection she's got there.
Do you think Hanners' mom ever looks around and realizes how alone she is? The fourth panel really highlights that for me.
Though all that space is why she can have a robot horse butler. Perhaps she built to accommodate larger than usual servants, or pitched battles for domination. Plenty of room to maneuver there. (Plus, likely no, everything she sees is hers to command).
DUNNNNN da DUNNN DUNNN (imagine the Dragnet theme, my indication that Mother is in for it. I would certainly hate to have Tilly and Hannelore teaming up against ME.)
Hanners looked quite a lot like Alice Grove in that last panel. See, for instance, SPOILER ALERT, the last panel of <a href="http://www.alicegrove.com/post/163216900934/alice-grove-ends-tomorrow-if-youd-like-to-see" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.alicegrove.com/post/163216900934/alice-grove-ends-tomorrow-if-youd-like-to-see</a>
Ooh, good catch, looking like Alice. (Though I don't think "Grove" is part of the character's name.)
I love that we get to see that mom is still using the wrong name and Hanners isn't. Nice touch to the character differences.
I think a bunch of these comments are missing that shes already relying on Taffy (as if Taffy was REALLY going away...)
I don't think it's reliance; it's realizing that she and Tilly are in the same boat of being used and they'll face off against it together as equals. (Just, each person playing to their strengths. She's calling on Tilly's strengths right there.)
Man, when Hannelore makes a snap decision like that... WATCH OUT.
It's almost like Jeph had a plan the whole time.
Yeah. I understand people expressing discomfort, but they shouldn't just assume that Jeph will be like, "Here's an uncomfortable character who will stay that way forever!"
Team up!
I saw your interview on the Washington Post! I was like “I KNOW THAT NAME!” :Oc
Jeff - thanks for your strong rebuttal of Patreon's planned change. I read your Washington Post review, and have changed my pledge up from $1 to $4.
My thought exactly, Will. Damnit! We'll have to wait until Sunday!

Oh snap! My money is on Hanners! <3
Oh, it’s on now.
What a bongo.

I have never enjoyed a readers comment more than this one :-)
And this is the moment when Hannelore overthrows her mother and becomes the boss of Ellicot-Catham enterprises :P
I was going to say, didn't Tilly already leave hannelore's employ? But I guess she'll be keen to continue trying to be Good Assistant.
As a fan of "Steam Powered Giraffe", a horse wasn't my first impression here :D
It looks a lot like an Okapi to me… which is technically a giraffe 😊
Ooooh, here I thought Hannelore's mother was doing it for Hannelore. Silly me.
Much anger and shouting to come
Good. Catharsis ..
'Plane' tickets? To get to a space station? They *are* living in the future.
Hannelore's father lives on a space station, her mother doesn't.
When you said a week or two ago that an important plot development coincidentally fell on a Friday...?
And on the flight H&T can bond over being pawns in their respective parent's machinations.
Oh holy shit this is going to be intense.
What the hell was that thing that delivered the drink?
The amazing robohorse with robohorse-lemonade!
As far as we know, only the front of the robohorse is in the house...
Actually, only one side… (perhaps I tried yesterday to tell a joke like that w/o the details) One version » "There are three men on a train. One of them is an economist and one of them is a logician and one of them is a mathematician. And they have just crossed the border into Scotland and they see a brown cow standing in a field from the window … <a href="http://www.neatorama.com/2007/01/22/a-mathematical-cow-joke/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.neatorama.com/2007/01/22/a-mathematical-cow-joke/</a>
You think Hannalore is gunna lay the smack down on her mom, hit her with a chair and wwe up in there.
It would be disrespectful for a daughter to directly lay a smackdown on her mother. Asking your personal assistant to, however...
That makes an awful lot of sense ...
It really does.
Nice
