The Short Goodbye
And that wraps up this storyline!

Tilly better visit, it's only been a short while since Tilly made her debut but I already love her!
Don't forget Tilly prefers they/them pronouns.
After the end of the filler strips, I feel a bit melon-choly.
Is that a dog that likes cantaloupes?
Ma'am finally became Hannelore
Feels!
Why isn't anyone reading between the lines!?!? This could be HORRIBLE! Station is the ONE PLACE most difficult for people to get away from Tilly's organizational and micro-managerial skills! - Will Station de-orbit? - Will HannerDad spontaneously combust? - Will Station's Military staff finally have to DO SOMETHING? I predict lots of Station folks will be randomly "dropping in" on future QC story arcs as they commandeer Pizza Pods to escape Tilly's Terrors! Or, perhaps, they'll just shove Tilly into one. Will Tilly come out on top of the situation? EDIT: I really liked the Hanner-Tilly hugs. Maybe Tilly really can be a Force for Good. So, I could be over-reacting a bit. Maybe.
aww :3
...... except for the part about the INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE!
<a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3628" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Well, they didn't exactly sound like they were willing to do espionage</a>.
Well, it beats the "Fluid Hug", so there's that. Maybe there's hope for Hannelore yet.
Much as I love the usual on-off storylines, this has been the most satisfying read I've had all 2017. What a fantastic piece of writing, brilliantly served by the graphics.
And Tilly, for the first time ever, called her Hannelore instead of "ma'am". A perfect ending. I'm about to tear up. (And look at the subtlety of toning to create the cinematic "backlighting" effect in that last panel! That's a wow.)
And now its time for: <echoes> Tillllllyyyy iiiinnnn Spaaaaaaace! </echoes> The ongoing stoooory of the adventures of the P.A. that won't say die!!
I wonder how many QC readers will get that reference... :)
I should hope Tilly won't be a stranger. Lt. Potter is on the space station and it's been 6 years since we saw her.
After a rough start, a good ending. And holy crap, Hannelore willingly hugged somebody. Again.
D'aww that was very satisfying. I hope we see Tilly/Taffy/Totty again some time. They fitted right in. And they got to hug Hanners, that makes them special!
Does that mean Hanners is over hear hug-aversity?
Happy endings! Great storyline, Jeph.
Hanners does hug!!!!!
Awww. They're adorable.
Shooting Tilly into space, something we all can get behind! Anyway, that was a graceful conclusion to the arc, so I'm happy. Hope in the new year we'll get more interesting arcs that arise from the existing characters, instead of having to be driven by temporary new ones.
Jeph's temporary new characters almost always become old stand-bys. We'll see Tilly again. Also, I love the casual introduction of characters. It shows QC doesn't exist in a bottle. :)
This was a very satisfying conclusion, great stuff :)
Aww. And they called her Hannelore, too, and not Miss Ellicott-Chatham.
Sorry to be a downer but I bet Tilly is actually in their dads pocket all along and was playing this for some real corporate espionage!
D: I know!! This isn't a happy ending! Everyone panic to the maximum level!!
she hugged her (teary eyes) sniff sniff this is so (cries)
("them") It so much is.
but they are just so sweet and this is such an adorable way to deal with Tilly's presence and *.* *cry emoji*
Hanners has really been dropping the H-bombs lately.
So should we start calling Hanners Sexy Human Devil now? Also, that's some straight up skin on skin contact. Please don't have her freak out about it.
Nothing like take care of someone less able than yourself to grow as a person
Hanners looks so much older now o.O
D'aww. It's not everyday someone gets a full-on hug with Hanners.
Oh don't worry, the moment Hanners gets home the steel wool and the bleach will come out.
Love this so much
