Hanners is getting a bum date. ☹ Also, I thought Korean would have been a GREAT idea for her. They give you the food, and you cook it yourself. She can cook her Korean BBQ exactly how she wanted it. Sven knows better, I’m sure. Also, for a second I was thinking we’d get Svennalore but, yeah, I know how ridiculous that sounds. Still, it would be awesome if Hanners fixed Sven. ---

After that [last exchange](http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1765), I don’t think Hanners is ever going to date again. 😛 ---

So, does anyone here think Hanners is suddenly a lot less phobic? Hugging folks, wearing _other people’s clothing_ for crying out loud… it’s been demonstrated she can keep freakouts at bay 'til an appropriate time, but still… Or is the next comic her rinsing everything off with hydrochloric acid? ---

A few comics ago Hanners actually hugged Marten and then immediately freaked out because she thought they were flirting. And then Dora and Marten poked at her. I think. Or I may be making that all up. They start to blur together after a while. ---

Notice, though, that she had two choices when Sven held out his hand. Shake his hand, thereby touching skin, or hug him, confining contact to the clean coat she’d already worn once. I like a girl who knows how to work with her neuroses rather than let herself be paralyzed by them. ---

I predict Faye is going to lose her shit when she realizes Hanners got a real “gentlemanly” date out of Sven. All she and Sven had were booty calls. ---

She is getting less phobic, the more she hangs around with the rest of the gang. And it’s clear it’s an intentional project on her part (or her shrink’s) ---

> [@astro](#): > > I predict Faye is going to lose her shit when she realizes Hanners got a real “gentlemanly” date out of Sven. All she and Sven had were booty calls. Really? I don’t think so.

Well, Faye seems pretty calm about the whole thing. Dora’s the one who is freaking out a little. I love the last panel about Sven’s butt. ---

I kind of feel for Dora…not only is having a brother like Sven kind of annoying in itself (I know the feeling, except Sven’s not as big an asshole as my brother), but now even her boyfriend’s complimenting his ass? ---

The entire cast except perhaps for Hanners and Marigold are a bunch of wiseasses. Marten’s just joking around, and it _should_ be a sign that maybe Dora’s taking things a bit too seriously.
