Post "Anh Is The Problematic Friend" by "jephjacques"

Todd Ellner

I follow Hentai Action Theater

joe velsher

"zygote poker".....do you write for the bloodhound gang?

Todd Ellner

As a straight guy I've never gotten that. If they're lesbians I would be wasting my time hitting on them. There are plenty of straight women who are into the Old Zygote Poker. Seems like a better investment of time and energy

Grumpy Bird

Pft. Like straight men don't try to shove themselves at lesbians all the time.

enchantedsleeper

Maybe it's just Anhrousal?

enchantedsleeper

We don't know when they met - it doesn't necessarily have to be college. Maybe their families are friends. Maybe they went to primary/elementary school together (or even nursery school). Maybe they met in a bar brawl and hit it off. The possibilities are endless xD

enchantedsleeper

She seems like the kind of person who'd be ride-or-die for a friend, yes :D (Emphasis on the "or die")

Todd Ellner

You're welcome to her, gay people, predatory vertical pupils and all

OldGoat

Good point re Beatrice E-C, although I believe she predates Corpse Witch.

fx_in_mind

Strong agree.

fx_in_mind

Well she's Tai's bridesmaid, so she must have some redeeming qualities. I imagine she is very good at getting revenge on behalf of her squad.

legobil

Marten has a chill aura, Hanners is dripping with nice girl vibes and I believe Marigolds melons are described as powerful, maybe soothing…?

Brando

Snek eyes you ssssay?

enchantedsleeper

I actually met someone who did that for a living, although she had a job procuring art for a legal firm. Which for some reason had a big art collection.

enchantedsleeper

I thought that was Marigold('s boobs)

enchantedsleeper

....similar facial features? I don't see it personally but I also don't see the resemblance to Willow or Faye.

Gabriel Burns

I hate Anh, but also I LOVE Anh!

Clifton Royston

@Miyaa, it still might be. Maybe around 2034 when we've gotten to the first winter in Cubetown, or am I being too optimistic?

Clifton Royston

Yes, IIRC I've known a couple of Anhs.

The Queer Art Pagan

I just thought she's Vietnamese?

Stephen Wells

Statistically there are enough heterosexual people in the world that we have to meet one from time to time even in QC :)

Solomon Garland

The most shocking part here is Anh apparently having no experience with women. Is she not Tai's friend from college? Is she the token heterosexual of her social group?

Am Queue

I'd be more amused at Ahn as a character if she wasn't someone who enjoys consciously and deliberately being a piece of shit.

Bagge

Happy endings for all!

Bagge

It is? Sorry, I need to go study... for... science, or something

Bagge

There is that hypothetical clone she worried about...

William Cole

As we know, Hanners is very powerful.

Rob Vary

Yeah, "Anh" is a Vietnamese name, not an alternative spelling of "Ann," and not anything for you to be enraged about.

Darren Franzen

Just spent half an hour reading backwards from that link & got all the way to the War Ladle! Life well spent! :)

Diptych

At least one of her parents is also an Ellicott-Chatham.

Joe

are you all talking about the woman with REMARKABLY similar facial features to Tai?? who was one of her bridesmaids?? could it be, I dunno, HER SISTER??

Clarence the Liar

As a biodiversity nerd, you don't need to tell me twice!

Joe

can confirm

Lucas Werkmeister

yeah, asking Dora that would be something of a faux pas

AlexKorobeiniki

I annoy all my friends with my casual bigotry towards golf courses and the horrors they inflict upon biodiversity.

Clarence the Liar

Disgusting. Just disgusting. A sign of the deep moral decay taking hold of this generation... I mean, who in the hell LIKES GOLF?? jk, I'm a polyamorous grey-ace with your same opinion towards sexual activities, but not golf—unless I can fuck around trying to get the ball past the windmill for a few hours, that is.

prettydragoon

Hannelore is just an heiress so she's not "the" Ellicott-Chatham yet.

Diptych

Begging your pardon, but why would you assume that it's a misspelling of Ann, rather than a word from another culture and language?

dcy665 .

Loving Anh's snake eyes

Philip Masters

But Anh has never previously felt the need to experience either. How's she supposed to tell them apart?

Comics Ladybird

Hannelore is so good she recalibrated more than just the heiressdar in Anh…

Violet Moon

I mean I'm sure pretty much everyone at the wedding has seen Tai naked. I'm almost surprised she didn't insist on getting married Betazoid-style. The other way around is probably a smaller number though. Maybe not MUCH smaller, but smaller

Sezoxeufu

Same for asexuals, especially sex positive or kinky ones who lack the attraction but still do it for fun (like paintballing or golf or such, it's an activity I like sharing with friends)

Jane the Inscrutable

Nah, she didn't ask how to become a TERF.

alphanor

NOOOOO- Please no!! Anh is just too corrosive a person.

Elf Sternberg

I'd forgotten that one!

Rapto

New sexuality just dropped: FlexeroCompetitive

Magic Chopstick Games

@Grace, was that assertion pre- or post-arm-in-yak Hanners? If the former, sexy shirtless firemen could well be back on the table

Philip Masters

She’s not all bad. We know that she has a romantic streak; she just doesn’t want to be involved in the romance herself.

Lorelei

We can escalate it.

Philip Masters

I suspect that Anh is simply confusing envy with erotic love. Perfectly understandable; she’s probably never felt either before.

Philip Masters

https://www.thebump.com/b/anh-baby-name

Philip Masters

If that’s true, it’s because this comic is mostly short of really evil people, not because Anh is literally Hitler. (Also, you’re forgetting Hanners’s mother, who is evil enough that Hanners actually noticed.)

Jennifer De Lurio

Yep, Ahn is a Vietnamese name.

Hugh Eckert

Also Dora's.

Hugh Eckert

I've been assuming that it's a name (maybe Southeast Asian?) that only coincidentally looks like a Western one. I worked with a guy named Anhtuan once. He was from Vietnam, so it *might* have been derived from French, IDK.

Mitsuki Ayane

shit, I can't find it... did I forget to actually post that? I was sure I had made a comment about those two being a thing which also couldn't be a thing because Hanners doesn't do touching. ~<3

OldGoat

Anh is the most evil person we've seen since Corpse Witch. With any luck she'll do something to attract Yay's disciplinary attention. (If Yay wants to, they'll come up with some good reason.)

Photon

Oh, um, wait, no... that would be sociopathy. Nevermind.

Photon

If only there were a form of neurodiversity that would make me *less* sensitive to other people's opinions. I'd sign up for that!

OldGoat

Family name is everything to the likes of Anh. Shallow as she is, you could wade the ocean of her soul but only the soles of your shoes would get wet.

Philip Masters

My headcanon would probably be that she has a degree in Art History and has snagged a job at an auction house. Not too stressful, genuinely interesting, gives her something to talk about at parties - and the effortlessly superior mannerisms go down very well with the customers.

Kattandra

kind of like an Ahnk, right?

Philip Masters

Why should she threaten them? She knows that she's richer than them and that they don't take her too seriously, they know she's richer than them and don't sweat it - playing social dominance games at them would be like punching a toddler. And hanging out with other attractive women probably attracts plenty of men into the vicinity, who Tai and Dora don't want, so she gets her pick. And from their point of view, she's entertaining (and I'm sure she buys her full share of the cocktails). It's a win-win.

Philip Masters

Nah. Anh has exactly as much self-knowledge as she wants and needs. She knows when she's being a bitch, knows when she's been outclassed, and treats those two imposters just the same.

James A. Whitney

I did not even register that that might be how it's pronounced. My brain defaulted to pronouncing it kinda like "Ah", but with an n on the end.

Philip Masters

Reptile eyes, anyway. When Hanners breaks her heart (accidentally, natch), Anh will launch into a long, painful Start of Darkness arc and eventually emerge as a supervillain with a distinct (and classically racist) Dragon Lady vibe. (Yes, I do spend far too much time on TV Tropes. Why do you ask?)

Colleen Dewis

I cannot explain why I am randomly enraged by this spelling of Ann... I guess I am an old...

Philip Masters

That seems to be her parents' companies' identification. And for Anh, Hanners must be identified by her corporate association.

Sean Kinlin

There is something very fitting about being able to buy breast forms on Amazon.

Ursus Ridens

But this is Northampton, so...

Maurice Kessler

As long as it's not a brother named "Sybok," I'm prepared for a secret sibling.

Steve McSheffrey

Now I'm imagining a gay male version of Hannelore...

PixelThis

Friends with "an" Ellicott-Chatham? Hanners has siblings?

Diptych

Their honeymoon will have been adapted from a play - you'll be able to tell 'cause the plot all happens in one room at a time!

Holly Nelson

So, on their honeymoon they’ll escape to a Victorian cottage in the country, complete with a hanging cactus? Sooo romantic (don’t go in the cellar!)

Miyaa

If I know any plot involving the government, nothing is secure — especially a vault.

Miyaa

See, I thought the enemies to lovers trope would be applied to Liz and Hannelore Von Schwartzpunkt. Eventually.

enchantedsleeper

I'm impressed by how determined everyone is to have the other bridesmaid be an existing character xD Before that it was Willow...

enchantedsleeper

I guess there was partial agreement? But anyway, I'm here for wherever this goes I'm not sure if we'll see Anh beyond the wedding, but I hope she's here to stay. We'll get at least a year's worth of strips out of the wedding day anyway :D

enchantedsleeper

Marten can't you see, you're just not the guy for me -

enchantedsleeper

What part of this strip specifically confirmed that for you? xD

enchantedsleeper

*they!

enchantedsleeper

@ellafine Or in general - I would definitely be wearing at least a light necklace with a formal dress 😅 Only Faye gets to wear one after Jeph added it in Edit: Oh, and Tai's mum

enchantedsleeper

We had some orange/red trees in the shot where Moray and Liz drove off: https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5402

Grace Kieser

I thought they were still in summer

Grace Kieser

No, conversion therapy usually discourages the homosexuality. With shame!

Grace Kieser

Potential? It's a whole genre!

Captain Button

The Government had to confine her to The Secure Vault.

Doc Gumby

Let's not give Jeph TOO much to do.

legobil

Yes ofc. But that could in turn be related to Marten ”flower pits” Reeds own deodorant..!

Boots McGoot

i am delighted

Stephen Wells

They will have been living together for twenty years before they realise they were dating.

BookBeard

Hanners' Aura of Wholesomeness is a distinct but similar phenomenon. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4646

Clarence the Liar

Force equals mass times Ahn-cceleration

legobil

Is that the same mechanism as Martens Chill Aura?

Diptych

High voltage!

Michael Voorhis

Hanners need do nothing with Anh -- the huge cloud of Zen surrounding Hanners will suck her in.

Stephen Wells

TOTALLY CLITS OF THE HEART Edited to add: I don't know WHY I'm so tickled by this one but I'm still giggling proudly

Clifton Royston

Yeah I still want to hear if Brun and Millefuille figured out whether they're dating.

BookBeard

A year from now the story culminates when Hanners finally gets to play matchmaker by setting up Ahn with Evil Clone Hanners. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1662

Clifton Royston

Thank you for sharing that with us, Elizabeth. It's always delightful to hear about a relationship that's so solid.

Clarence the Liar

I liked all of them because all of them are good!

legobil

Oh Hanners, sweet as honey. Let’s hope she can unproblemify Anh!

Clarence the Liar

Bet Marigold's watching so intently her popcorn is ice cold in the microwave.

djellafine

Yeah and no one is wearing any jewelry with their strapless dresses/tops. It's starting to really bug me

djellafine

Tai's face in the last panel *chef's kiss*

Noodz

Anhelore

Blake Manor

i think we skipped a step

Chris Warren

Next wedding: Anh and Hannelore.

Noodz

To be honest, everyone is in love with Hanners

enchantedsleeper

"How do I become a lesbian?" "We're showing you!"

enchantedsleeper

😂😂😂 Time for one of the others to materialise straps on their dress

enchantedsleeper

We've now had multiple characters (Emmett, Bubbles, and now Veronica) looking off to one side at something unknown. Maybe there's a unicorn just out of shot.

enchantedsleeper

Their blushes xD

enchantedsleeper

Tai and Dora are getting the special package (wedding party inclusion) because they're old friends

enchantedsleeper

I can do you one better! WHY IS EMILY

enchantedsleeper

Other bridesmaid: maybe this will be a teaching moment Bridesmaid, Tai & Dora: nope, never mind, she's just horny still

enchantedsleeper

When did you say that xD

enchantedsleeper

🤣🤣🤣 SOULMATES!!

SpookyPenguin

I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE ISSSS I WANT YOU TO SHOW MEEEE

Clifton Royston

Tai's face in the last panel says "You ask me that every other week, Anh, and do you ever follow through? You do not."

Clifton Royston

Blast from the past!

Clifton Royston

Or perhaps she's suffering from Anhnui.

Clifton Royston

This is amazing. With all of these wedding strips, Jeph has yanked my expectations out from under me repeatedly, I have no idea where any of this is headed, and I love it.

SilverbackRon

They also happen to be Jeph's favorite kind, IIRC, so ... who knows?

Stephen Wells

Anh is running an entire enemies to lovers to tragic separation yuri arc and hanners notices none of it.

Miyaa

I do not remember this strip. Oh no.

Ace of Hearts

I love high strung wedding drama

Bagge

"Teach me to become a lesbian" has porn plot potential

Diptych

Less nay sayers, more Dorothy L. Sayers!

legobil

Hanhers? Cmon, it was right there. 😅🥰

Carrie

Not every bi or pan person realizes they are until they take some steps beyond the social norm they were following. It's always fun helping folks figure themselves out IME.

Carrie

🚢🚢🚢🚢🚢😅 IDC, you all figure out the relationship name.

Carrie

There is a "secret" master document.

BookBeard

Hanners has also seen Tai naked. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1611

Carrie

Being a multi class is very wonderful. It makes for so many great conversations and more!

BookBeard

Sitting in her kitchen eating cereal. Homemade cereal. She can't tell you what's in it because the government swore her to secrecy again.

Carrie

In my region, if you are not going to leave it more than 200 kilometers away they tend to be the cheapest option that actually has insurance etc. I have driven many many u-haul for people and a few times for myself. 😅 They're even cheaper if you bring it back to the rental location, even if leaving your car parked there on the inside of the fence.

Carrie

Now everyone 🚢Anh & Hanners 🤘🙂🤘😅

Elf Sternberg

I'm pretty sure you also have to find a mentor. But mentors are often willing, and if you pass the final test, the mentor gets a toaster! (If you got that joke, please remember to take your cholesterol meds tonight.)

Elf Sternberg

My words of the week were "allogamy" (I was hoping it was something filthy, but nah, it's just a botany thing) and "abrosexual" (someone who's sexual orientation changes over the course of their life).

William Cole

"You must travel to Lesbos and bathe in the sacred spring under a new moon. Then wait 6-8 weeks for your certificate to arrive in the mail."

Mitsuki Ayane

HA! take that nay sayers! she was being blatantly awful on purpose, and bonus I was even right about where this was going to go (not that it will go there, Hanners isn't interested) ~<3

William Cole

Definitely (b). Possibly also (a).

William Cole

Extremely same!

Elf Sternberg

Hanners has thought a lot about it, but maybe things have changed since the yakking: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1141

Drazi

So, Brain...just like every night?

Elf Sternberg

I do kinda love the randomness of the Veronica sighting.

Uniquitous

Haanh

Elf Sternberg

Well, we know both Dora and Martin have seen Tai naked. "If memory serves me right," Martin chaperoned when Tai had her clit hood pierced.

Uniquitous

Anh is gonna need a cowboy hat and a fire hose

Uniquitous

Prestige classes are so tricky to figure out

Dissociated Women Incorporated

Anhers

Zain Redding

Anh's got snake eyes. Don't trust snake eyes.

Diptych

Dunno! All we know is she's one of Tai's bridesmaids. We hadn't met Anh before either, so presumably we'll be introduced to Purple here properly eventually.

Diptych

They're new to me too. Aridoamerica is a gorgeous part of the world!

Bagge

Now I want a year long storyline with Anh more and more overtly trying to flirt with Hanners while Hanners is all Fren! <3

Diptych

Pass on congratulations to your wife!

Diptych

But 2017 is only tw- thr- f-...

Thomas Halpin

"They say you are what you eat, nudge nudge wink wink" So Anh could probably use some Cool ranch doritos, Chili, and maybe a can of Mello Yello. Or, you know, maybe some classes about Introspection and the foundational principles of Buddhism, you know, something to take the edge off. If she managed any of that, all she would need to do afterward would be to hit the gym and join her local volunteer firehouse.

Mad Marie

@World Famous: sounds like Tai forgot the early "bits" as well

Mad Marie

@Claudia: *ARE

Mad Marie

Hanhelore

Anhvy

Mad Marie

My question exactly

Emma Humphries

What's that high pitched whistle in the distance? It's the clue for Anh hitting the first traces of atmosphere.

Dana Inperson

I love this so much

Mark Eichin

Xionwalker

Hanners is just so cute that she transcends orientation. Understandable.

David Paul

Can't say from experience, but I'm reasonably sure there are a couple of extra steps involved...

AlexKorobeiniki

Ah, sad to hear it, have a friend group that used to his electric forest ever year

BookBeard

Almost two thousand strips actually. Roughly 7.5 years ago. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3474

AlexKorobeiniki

Man, how awesome would that be to just be able to swap your orientation on the fly? Just “huh, I won’t what that’s like, lemme see”

Alex Mullenix

Oh God, how long has it been since she's worn that? It's gotta be at least a thousand strips.

Spot & Tabbie

Electric Forest is somewhat overrated

Lorelei

I always think it's weird when I see people reply to shippers to, like, clarify that they prefer a different ship, I guess? I'm just not sure what the goal is.

Blake Manor

yeah all this drama is fun but my question is WHERE IS EMILY

Ursus Ridens

Sorry, folks, but Svennelore is bashert.

Eric Sieck

A common misconception. It's just called "U-Haul Rentals for Dummies"

Sean Kinlin

First you have to attend this music festival in Michigan...

Ursus Ridens

Thank you for the word "neurosexual", another term new to me. (The other one I ran into today was "Aridoamerica", which, I suspect, is unrelated.)

Sean Kinlin

Delivers it by the snootful.

Sean Kinlin

Is bisexual multiclassing? Polyamorous bisexual certainly is.

Elizabeth Rosenzweig

My wife is sticking to a haircut, a wardrobe change, and some Amazon breast forms in a mastectomy bra for now, but yes. That is how one typically resolves the "I wish I had been born a lesbian" dilemma.

JD

this could be the time for some reflection and growth babes

Sean Kinlin

She's all you want, and you've waited for so long?

Populuxe

Yep. You’re right. Then who the heck is this woman?

Pete

I don't know. There's an uncomfortable high number of potential pre-apocalypse plot threads in QC. Perhaps Anh will become the spark that ignites them all at once?

Populuxe

But to be fair, she’s a real professional. She always delivers the snooty.

Ursus Ridens

Anhalore? Hannelanh? (Alas, neither of those terms sing to me.)

Ursus Ridens

Is that how conversion therapy works??

Doc Gumby

So many bare shoulders for an autumn day in New England.

Logan Nix

disastrous fake dating between Sven and Anh with Hanners chaperoning leading to a messy polycule? sign me the heck up

Logan Nix

yeah i think the most accurate descriptions of hanners' sexual label is "we don't know yet"

Logan Nix

god same i miss Brun so much ;_;

Chris Weigert

I just think of Moe from The Simpsons asking “Is it true that if I kill you, I become you?”

Logan Nix

@Claudia: *they

Logan Nix

enemies to lovers speedrun? i dont think hanners is into ladies though

Miyaa

Poor Marten. Seen more female genitalia than an average day of a gynecologist.

Lightsabr2

Well this is just the *fastest* tsundere whiplash yet.

Katrina Urmson

Anh, I think that might be envy… not love. It’s…. Not the same thing. Although I suppose both can be experienced obsessively…

Miyaa

Using a U-haul would be bonus points but they’re expensive to rent.

Sandra Karolus-Mikhael

I love how Anh is yet another problematic friend who is bound to be wrapped up in the friendship cocoon and become yet another BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY. 🦋

BookBeard

Ahn: Doraaa! Hanners outmaneuvered meee! Dora: Not sure what you expect me to do about that... https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5086

The World Famous Chocomerican

This sent me down a rabbit hole. This comic had gone on too long for me to remember the early bits.

Llian

It's truly transcendent to be in hanners' position and find out after the fact. There are few better feelings than learning that someone you've never met before was being a huge ass to you and literally not having clocked it because you'd never in a million years assume that someone would act that way to a stranger.

T.

Any moving van? I thought it was specifically a U-Haul.

Commodore_Perry

"Lesbianism for Dummies" isn't out yet

Davus Otho

Yeah, Anh seems a lot nicer when she's actually human. I imagine she's only friends with Tai/Dora because they saw her flub and realized that she wasn't actually super threatening. (Also I'm currious how Ahn+Hannelore turns out.)

Nicolas Demers

I figure it's one of two things: a) she might not be clear on her parents' present arrangement, and she's picturing a thriving, growing dynasty b) she might think of these names as for designer labels, so you're always an "a" even if you're the only one

runrin

pain.

Sammitch

"Do I need to go to Greece to officially register, or is it like an online thing now?"

bear

listen i enjoy every QC strip but i full on belly laughed for like 3 minutes at the last panel, bravo

Magic Beans

You have to take a course. Otherwise they don’t let you do it.

BookBeard

Her last (brief) appearance was at the bar with Renee and Dan. About 3.5 years ago real time, a few months in QC time. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4510

Diptych

She does have external armour, though! She used to wear it all the time but she switched over to civilian clothes.

joe velsher

Easily. But maybe I'm biased.

Cory Thorp

Anh is a delightful train wreck friend.

MikeT

Danger Hanners, Danger!

Em Dah

TOXIC YURI ARC, TOXIC YURI ARC

David Jackson

there's always a wedding for her to be snooty at; you have to book her months in advance and at great expense

runrin

a while ago i checked and it was over 2 years. last we saw her was when she and mille went on that adorable date together after brun slept on mille's butt. i've been shipping them hard since.

Alex Mullenix

I'm thinking Barbarian due to a lack of reliance on external armor.

Diptych

Sleater-Kinney reuniting at least took the pressure off a little.

Alex Mullenix

Y'all have been hating on Anh, but I love her. Disaster characters are so fun.

Alex Mullenix

Don't even get me started on the annual continuing education requirements. If KD Lang or the Indigo Girls aren't touring nearby you're screwed.

Holly Nelson

I wonder what Anh does when she’s not being snooty at other peoples weddings? She doesn’t give me the impression she has any profession or interests beyond being an heiress.

Lorelei

I don't think Sven can challenge her enough, honestly. Like, maybe he can, but it wouldn't be disastrous lesbian drama, so it's objectively not as good. wait what if we hatched sven

Joseph Houk

Well, obviously that's Veronica in the background.

Dean Reilly

It should be fairly straightforward for Anh to source a firefighter's helmet and a pair of red suspenders.

BookBeard

I mean, getting her genitals pierced in front of a coworker and then showing it to his girlfriend was apparently such a commonplace occurrence that she forgot it happened. So I'm guessing quite a few. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2257

Bill Silvia

I think that's an Olympic sport.

David Durant

Taiface!

Claudia D.

Speaking of SEEING people again; YAY? Where IS she?

ValdVin

Australian firefighters holding puppies in casual settings?

Miyaa

Bubbles is Faye’s paladin protector right?

Bill Silvia

And probably hasn't slept with her, either!

Bill Silvia

She certainly likes the *idea* of strong masculine dudes. Doesn't mean she's not a-spec but that seemed at the time like hetero attraction. She definitely seems to be in the neurosexual spectrum, whether or not you consider that to override traditional labels.

Adarsh Nednur

She's definitely been in her comfort zone for a long while, which is amazing development for a character who was incapable of feeling comfortable, but I do think she's ready to venture out a bit more now. I just hope it's with Sven and not Anh lmao

Grace Kieser

The former! Autocorrect failed me again!

Michael Altarriba

Yes... yes, we do.

Darcy Conaty

And a microwave.

Hope Power

There was a strip years ago that joked there was an evil clone of Hannelore. Not out of the question but it didn't seem serious.

BookBeard

You should just multiclass to bisexual instead, you actually get some pretty sweet abilities. Dora can give you the full rundown. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3790

allanfranta

@Grace Kieser: did you mean celibate or celebrate?

Hope Power

E-C is the combination of both parents' surnames.

Doc Gumby

At least she's asking the right person.

Diptych

Her mother reverted to her pre-married name (or possibly never used both - I don't recall) but her father still uses both barrels, so there are at least two Ellicott-Chathams.

Diptych

If you're asking, you might want to try estrogen, possibly with a side of anti-androgens.

LH

"she just causually shrugged it off like it didn't even register" well, actually, Anh -

Diptych

Folks, I love you, but I'm getting a little worried about your ability to recognise and identify people. Next strip is going to feature a 6'5" Bangladeshi man with a shaved head and people are going to be commenting 'Nice to see Natasha again!' and 'Is that Marten's brother?'.

Jan Szejko

are men allowed? (asking for a friend)

Grace Kieser

I think she's more just celibate than ace. But Jeph hasn't explicitly spelled it out, so who knows!

LH

synchronized side-eye

Jeremy

“An” Ellicott-Chatham? Are there Hanners siblings I am not remembering? (Or is that the name of only one of her parents). I need to re-read but the time escapes me. 😹

Miyaa

By the way, do we really want to know how many people has Tai seen naked, sexy times or non-sexy times?

Violet Moon

Okay but how many people there HAS she seen naked?

LH

5 minutes "straight" ?! 🤣

Bridgette Ryan

Oh god, has it been that long since we've seen Brun????

Katie Spina

I did not see this turn and I can't stop giggling

Jeremy

Agreed, Brun has been MIA for too long.

Miyaa

The final test would have to be getting a Subaru and a moving van and help a lesbian couple move to somewhere between Portland, Oregon and Oregon Coast.

Bridgette Ryan

That smile on Veronica's face is because she found Tai's dad.

Diptych

It's a short course you can do online - it only takes a few weeks and at the end you get a certificate.

Miyaa

Except that they are taking care of various exotic animals instead of eating cereal. First time: grooming chimps with Jane Goodall.

runrin

im still waiting for my old favorite character brun to return after maybe 2-3 years ;;

KingAtticus

I for one welcome the “Ahn is genderfluid” arc that will culminate by 2028

Paul Higdon

I have been laughing at "how do I become a lesbian?" for 5 minutes straight.

Grace Kieser

Hanners said she didn't like them anymore because sweaty

runrin

sorry, firemen only.

Grace Kieser

This is the twist I didn't know I needed! Can we have another week of Hannelore and Anh? Are they the new Steve eating cereal?

Jeremy

Anh is my new favourite character. After Yay Newfriend, of course.

Daryl Sawyer

Calling a hypochondriac "effectively asexual" is like calling a bisexual in a long term relationship with someone of the opposite sex "effectively straight".

Andrea Andrew

Honestly, I think dating Hanners might make her less self centered, if she’s interested.

Melissa Wilson

Nope

Tom Carlson

Anh is wondering in the last panel why she's the only one not naked.

Melissa Wilson

Is that look on Veronica’s face because she just heard someone outside being called “an absolute stallion”??? Cue the Dom!

Diptych

We saw Faye in 5405. She's wearing a red dress.

Captain Button

Can you test out of some of the courses?

Tannerbot

My god, she's so self centered she might actually be re-aligning reality around herself.

Clark Wells

I hardly know her and I love her already

Magic Chopstick Games

Ok, question one: are you a sexy shirtless fireman?

JMK

Join the club, Anh. Everyone loves Hannelore.

Robert

BTDT. She brought me cherries.

Taigan

Finding out Hanelore is effectively asexual would probably just spark her competitive instincts

First, you'll need to do at least three fetch quests for the Council of Sapphics.

Olaf

Ah, I guess she's not related to Tai, after all. What a relief!

Fart Captor

LMAO, I love her. I wish her luck on becoming gay

Shawn K. Younkin

Damn, Marten's Mom has GOT it going on!

i can't stress enough how hard I'm shipping this now on a serious note, Hannelore is overdue for a challenge. I don't know if this is it, but she's been very, like, unflappable lately, in a way that makes her feel more like a side character than one of our main leads. Maybe that conflict is a disastrous lesbian romance.
