Matthias Urlichs

"Are you back?" "No that just a hologram of me, I'm at a monastery in Tibet, covered in yak shit. Can't you tell?"

Matthias Urlichs

Where the heck did that dagger just appear out of thin air from?

Bagge

Pre-character-growth Hannelore would agree it would be prudent.

Brian English

To be fair, Dora had a valid concern.

David D.

This is like saying, "There's a conspiracy here!" to conspiracy theorists.

Yay!

Carl Cravens

OMG, Hanners is back... please don't make this temporary, I've missed her so much.

James C

Vitamin D does wonders for mood boosting and by the looks of it she’s had a lot! 😂

Joe

not necessarily left-handed. she could just be used to a defensive grip in her left. that way your gun/sword hand stays free (if you're right handed).

Joe

from Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place??

Joe

no. that's Hanners. Yaaaaaaay was in the last story arc ...

Joe

this is now canon.

Joe

why not??

Lyman Green

Yes! Hannelore! Missed her

Jeffrey Nonken

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HANNELORE

KapsLocked

Yeee Tanners

The simplest explanation for the knife is that Dora saw a tan, robust stranger walking into her house as if she owned the place, picked up a knife, and held it in icepick grip so that it was hidden behind her forearm. We never see her left hand till she shows the knife. Dora has evidently been some bad places, and is evidently left-handed.

Timothy Mann

"It really is her. Please no conspiracy theories..." That's exactly what you'd say if you were trying to cover up a CONSPIRACY.

Douglas E. Smith

That hug is adorable and Dora's thought process is beautifully expressed...yay!

That tan! She must have bleached out the crazy.

Lucy

Hannelore is Pizza Girl.

Dahlia Rose Israel

Okay so I can't remember if she was here when it happened, though I'm sure she knows about it, but even so, if she wasn't here, then Hanner's has some major squeeing to do now that she's back. First over seeing Faye and Bubbles together. And second over Tai and Dora's engagement. :LD

Evgeniy Semyonov

Yes, looking forward towards their interaction. Eldritch AI and a daughter of the definitive eccentric genius. I wonder, how much of 2 bln. were Hannerdad's?

Brent Catherman

I'd really like to see Hannelore's self discovery tour, but I think we're only going to get mentions of it and maybe a few bonus strips.

Stephen Smoogen

No figured it out... there are 2 missing frames where she asks Hannelore nicely to get the ritual blade.. and then we cut back to her menacing it. Conspiracy solved.

Stephen Smoogen

My main worry is where they kept the knife. I am guessing between the shoulder blades as the scabbard would be wider due to the blade curves.. and somewhere in the pants would be hard. Of course it could be a magic blade which comes to their hand when requested... oh wrong comic for that.

Everett Bradshaw

No, that's Hanners, Yay is elsewhere.

YAY <3

Happy Hanners' face... :)

Joseph Houk

No, I don't think they're directly related.

Mrpink

Hanners! <3

Uniquitous

Winslow, you mean?

jimbo

theory one- Hanners has a boyfriend

Dean Reilly

Panel 3 Dora, all 'What is happening here?'

Dean Reilly

No, she dislikes asymmetrical piercings.

James Dore

WoooO!

Patreonreallyletsyoumakelongassusernamesguys

Super tan Hanners! Tanners! Also nice to see Kris Kristofferson again

Gillian Brown

HANNERS! YAY!!

Thomas Halpin

I have a conspiracy theory about this: My theory is that there is no conspiracy, and Hanners' journey has had the best possible outcome.

Joseph Bonnar

One has to wonder where her friend and companion Winston is. And if that relationship has, er, grown a bit.

Rob McBobson

No need to worry, friend. :) I no longer have those phobias--therapy helped--and I'm still extremely adorable.

Kriss Pang

1 month in comic time :p

Bagge

I love this Hannelore. Tanned and confident and with a haircut frumped by salt water. This is an adventurer returning home. I can't wait to hear of her journey.

SheepFace2000

HANNERS! Yayyyyyy it’s been how many years?

Ehren Kluge

Huh? I don't see them anywhere in this strip...

Philip D Jones

Hannelore used to have her ears pierced all the way up. In this comic her ears are show prominently and have no piercing. Hugging. No piercings. This is definitely Hannelore transformed. Now will she find a boy friend?

Mark

There is that hypothetical clone that Hanners thought that she might have.

Robert and Ann Wells

Hanners! If she no longer fears germs and dirt, she may not be as adorable... I worry about that a bit...

Valraven

After the third time you step in elephant shit, you really start to get over hugging anxieties.

Bagge

Hannellore!!!

Didn't Hanners have a nose piercing?

HANNERS CAME BACK ON MY BIRTHDAY! YEA!

Bill Hall

Also: YAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!

Bill Hall

Breakthrough might have had to do with latrine duty? D’ya think?

Bill Hall

Aaahahahaha! I thought a hug was coming before I scrolled down, but I wasn’t expecting the kris!

A sheep

She's a Synth, this has been a Fallout 4 comic the whole time

Chris Heg

Humans - bless their hearts.

We're all thinking that, every day :)

Vilinda

HANNERS IS BACK!!!

Paxxie

Hanners is on the hunt to find the spookie AIs that wiped out her fathers fortune.... DA DA DA DUNNNNNN

Jill Yedwab

YAY! Hanners p!

Josh Bacon

I’m excited to learn more!

Mordaeus

Was that ear always that bare?

Cleo Schmitz

Thst makes me happier than is entirely reasonable. 💓

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

Been wondering about Hanners. She's one of my favorite characters

Vachenzo

Unintelligible screams of happiness

Thomas A. Dennis

Does she... does she have a tan? Tannelore? Tanners?

Alloyed Clavicle

"It really is her. Please no conspiracy theories about it, thank you." So.... incessantly tweet conspiracy theories about Hanners to you? I think we can do that. <3

Ardent Slacker

Have you met my knife? Her name is kris!

Sam Moody

yaaaaaaay!

I was literally just thinking earlier today "I wonder how Hanners is doing?"

Captain Button

Progress requires sacrifice...

YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY SHE BACK IM SO HAPPY

Of COURSE Dora has one of those wavy daggers close at hand

runrin

yay

Hawkeye

my heart is doing the zoomies!

Hannelore!

Waffliesinyoface

HANNERS!!!!❤!

Nicholas Ruff

Conspiracy theory: This Hannelore is actually AVRIL LAVIGNE, who switched lives with her after Hello Kitty bombed

MikeT

Hanners! Or do we refer to her as "Tan-ers" now?

Andrew Mitchell

OMG, Dora with a knife!! AGAIN!!! <3

Dora is real knifey lately

Cody Renton

Hanners!

Kyle Major

That is a sexy tan

Nascha Morrison

YES MY FAVOURITE I LOVE HANNERS SO MUCH

giacomo vaghi

Yeah! The best character ever drawed in comic’s history is baaaack!

Jax

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

Adam Friedlander

That's just what they want you to think.

gaijin 99

No it isn't. It's clearly made out of metal of some sort, while a crysknife is made out a sandworm's tooth and would presumably look like ivory or bone. They're described as milky white and faintly iridescent.

Everett Bradshaw

YES! HANNERS RETURNS!

gaijin 99

Athame. That's the proper term for a ritual knife used in various wiccan rites. Though they don't have to be wavy like that it does seem to be a popular option. I'm a bit doubtful that you'd want to use a sacred ritual knife for regular killing people though.

darklion

She's 8aaaaaaack

BobC

Dune reference, people! That's a crysknife!

Andreas "Rowas" Lind-Sahlin

:O ... She looks like a crazy mix of pop-culture aussie/carlifornian.. I don't like it..

Michele Williams

Squee seconded!

otusasio451

I KNEW IT WASN'T THE REAL HANNELORE CONSPIRACY CONFIRMED

Joel Bateman

THE JEPH HAS HEARD ME. BLESSED BE THE JEPH!

Philip D Jones

Hmmm. Naw! I don’t believe that.

Nematrec

Panel 2, her leg is transparent near the very bottom.

Fart Captor

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Chris Gallaty

She could show you, but then she would have to use it on you...

Important note: Dora not only keeps a big ol' stabbin' dagger on her person, but it is the classic wavy-bladed "we're going to sacrifice your girlfriend now, Stanley" dagger. You don't get those from Sears, cousin.

Mike de Jong

Henlo Tannelore

Gary Walker

Tannelore.

MrSinn

Loving the look of Tanners here

Joshua Roberts

HANNERS!!!! Oh, Honey, we missed you. Also... you may want to sit down. If my rather popular prediction last year was true, well... We're about to get the squee that ends the World.

Flounder

HANNELORE!!!

Erin Hartshorn

Yay! Hanners! Where’s Winslow?

Nutjob

It's not Hanners, it's a super-advanced robot body indistinguishable from a real human created through an underclocking-induced tryst between Station and Yay Newfriend

Where does Dora keep the knife?

cookiecryptid

HANNEEEEEERS! WE MISSED YOU

Omnithea

Tannelore

R L

Speedforce.

randomuserforstuff

It's Tanners!

Leaflemming

OMG OMG OMG I'm so happy about this.

The circle is almost complete...

ysth

Are you back/Yes implies back to stay. This could get interesting

Hanners is back whoo, my favorite character returns!

Ted Van Roekel

And with her personal breakthroughs (I really hope we get some flashbacks) perhaps my ultimate ship of Hanners and Elliot can be realized!

Raven Razor

FUCK YEAH HANNERS

TMN

That sacrificial dagger can't possibly be street legal...

Holly Nelson

Also, does Dora carry that kris everywhere? If so, where? A sheath down the middle of her back? 'Cos for sure there’s nowhere on her person it could be hidden.

Samantha Yeaman

HANNERRRRRS!!!! <3 I missed her so much.

Ted Van Roekel

OMG HANNERS!!!! *loud squeeing noises commence*

Magic Chopstick Games

Hanners, have you met Kris yet?

She looks like Chel in her current outfit.

Michael Boettger

She seems to have gone back to her witchy ways of late. We tend to cast a spell for Claire using Marten's blood.

JD

I highly doubt that the wedding is happening anytime soon

OldGoat

I don't think we really want to know.

JD

I wonder if she knows about the engagement.

R L

Hey, at least Hanners trained her entourage well - that's pretty much the expected reaction.

drone r0m-3

Jeph, when you say not to have any conspiracy theories about this, you're practically begging for conspiracy theories.

gatherer818

Let's all rush the space station and find the real Hanners. They can't stop them all.

Will Weaver

HANNERS!

Vanestus

Yay, Hannelore's back!

RaptorShadow

Tan Hanners is best Hanners!!!!

Michael Boettger

Hanners!Hanners!Hanner! Now for good? A visit? Until the wedding?

Richard Laxton

Why is Dora carrying an athame? Is she a witch? I can't remember anything about that previously, but I could be going senile :-)

Peter McDevitt

...where was Dora keeping that knife?

Ginaelisa Cortez

Ahhhhhhh! I missssssed her!!!!! SO MUCH! *Crying actual tears over a DRAWING*

Aussie Jim

Where is Dora’s scabbard for that kris?

Omnoms

Thats quiet the tan, but aside form that... She's back! YAY!

Matt Grayson

And where was Dora hiding that dagger?

Miyaa

48 hours brushing Yaks and explaining a human having a relationship with an near all powerful AI to your dad will do that.

Heather King

Omg squeeeeeee!

Max Kaehn

I love that Dora routinely carries that scary dagger.

*coughrobotcough* #noconspiracybro

Matt Grayson

Wooooooooh!

Alcaria Swain

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH JEPH THANK YOU FOR THIS MEAL

Rachael R

Whaaaaa?!? Yay Hanners!! ❤️❤️

Daniel Burnett

It’s the clone her mom made

Andrea Andrew

Yesssss! Hanners!

LH

I know we've seen it already in the bonus strips, but Hanners looks hella different with that tan.

YAAAAAY! 🎉🎉🎉

Holly Nelson

Lovely lovely toasty tan happy Hanners!

Kyle Jenkins

Hanners! Wahooo! She's back and so very tan xD

Lord Crusade

HANNERS! 😄

Miyaa

Dora! Stop carrying that dagger!

HANNERS
