It's a rare, giant aqua-goat.

Winslow in panel 3 though, I get you little dude.

Luke Stark

I like Winslow's shorts

Bagge

Heh, that's very true. It might be mitigated by the fact that a lot of other people in the QC universe seem pretty weird, and that some of Hannelore's weirdness mesh well with the weirdness of many robots. I could TOTALLY see a robot travel the world in a quest to clean things. Also, she's rich so she's eccentric.

William Davy

I'm sad the sub text isn't "Weird dog"

AJ Saint

As much as I’m in love with Claire, Hanners is still my fave.

Everett Bradshaw

Hanners! My day has been made!

Tim

This ^

Bagge

At your nearest university/museum/public library

Brian

Blood Mountain?

Will Weaver

Oh hi Hanners! Hi Winslow! Hi Cthulhu!

HANNERS! <3 Glad to see you back m'lady!

As a sciencey type, I can confirm. My coworker's lab bench has approximately five square inches of empty space.

Alex Borders

Who's Steve? (Just kidding.)

Haldon Lindstrom

More like Octo-eye! (I feel ashamed)

drij

How many Science Boyz are there? Where can I apply?

Jon Guyer

AquaGoat!

Ben Russell-Gough

Giant Octopuses don't get that big outside Lovecraft novels. That said, there have been new species discovered at the bottom of the ocean on occasion. A completely new species? Some marine biologist is going to be polishing up his Doctoral thesis, methinks!

Probably a giant octopus but definitely not a giant squid for the reason Hannes said. Also can be a capricorn? Yes I know they aren't real but it can be. Also wtf

Great to see Hanners again! Don't ANYONE ask about Steve or we'll get another comic of him eating Wheaties or something...

Beat me to it. Cthulhu should run in fear from Hanners who faced down her powerful and overbearing mother!

Ben Russell-Gough

I'm thinking that the Sea Monster is wondering if it can hire Hannelore to clean it's place too!

Ian Wolfe

That's an octopi eye, not a squid eye. Given the brain power of most octopi, you better hope the owner is friendly, because otherwise you are a snack in a puzzle box.

IA! IA! Hanner's Fhtagn! Hanner's Fhtagn!

Blood Mountain is a hiking spot. The highest location on the Appalachian trail in Georgia. It's quite a wonderful hike, the scenery there is just beautiful. Given that Hanner's did that, her t-shirt was earned. :)

Ack

Or it could be a squid that's on an angle.

Ted Van Roekel

Hanners!! Oh how I've missed you.

Bagge

Now I get a bit annoyed I never got a jersey like that with my PhD. Stupid 18th century university traditions not including Jerseys

Grace Kieser

I see no reason they can't be both! Tasty, tasty friends...

Bagge

*google, google*. Huh, that's awesome! And a very likely answer given how big they can be

Bagge

I honestly thought Bubbles was just poetic when she compared SpookyBot to a giant squid

Bagge

For whatever it's worth there are water spiders, so you can have both

Bagge

Ooooh, ooooh, Rays have horizontal pupils. It might be a gigant, hereto unseen deep sea ray!

Gary Walker

Cephalopod eyes are a lot like our eyes except they aren't put together backwards so they don't have a blind spot in the middle.

Bagge

Now, excuse me while I google squid pupils. This comic is educational

Bagge

WHAT IF AN ALLIGATOR BITES WINSLOW'S BODY IN HALF??? OR WHATEVER THAT THING IS??? WHAT IF?? (Also, I'm glad to see Hannelore survived Blood Mountain.

Gary Walker

I really hope when we see Hanners later she has been given a Science Gurlz jersey.

Gary Walker

Goatiteuthis.

Miyaa

1. I’m totally agreeing with Winslow about being under the ocean, not necessarily sailing across it. 2. Is that “Blood Mountain” t-shirt a Jonathan Coulton reference? 3. Finally, WTF are the “servo lubricants” used for? Are the humans & robots under the sea just getting it on with each other? Will Hanners and Winslow find themselves one evening surrounded by a human/robot orgy? Am I reading too much into this part of the Hanners World Tour?

Mitchell Sealy

Heh, I appreciate how it is from Hanners' perspective, but it really is suspicious for the heiress of a giant tech corporation to come check out your tech lab and say she's only here to do some light janitorial work.

Hawkeye

I need to know what Hanners had to do to survive Blood Mountain.

Mark

Not to mention wasteful, given that they were <b>half</b>-empty.

Objects in portholes are larger than they appear...

Jamison Town

That's a lot of lube.

Fish are friends, not food.

Giant octopus! They have horizontal pupils!

Trigon Manthree

We're going to Blood Mountain, Charlie!

Trigon Manthree

The little-known U-Goats almost tipped WWII in the Germans' favor.

Trigon Manthree

Sea goat run. Run, goat, run!

Summer Sudbrink

Perhaps Hanners only THINKS she survived Blood Mountain.

Summer Sudbrink

Calamari Damacy?

Shawn K. Younkin

RELEASE THE KRAK...oh...wait....you already did... fine...go about your business.

Andy Sleeper

Bonus strip: Hanners on Blood Mountain!

Ami

Undersea goat!

Kyle Jenkins

CTHULU!!!! COME TO CHALLENGE SHE WHO SURVIVED THE BLOOD MOUNTAIN!!!!

Nematrec

Oh that sounds perfectly reas- Uhh I don't think they have vertical pupils either...

Matt Grayson

Another facet of SpookyBot...

Andrew Mitchell

So funny! I'm kraken up. 🤣 #sorrynotsorry

Mordaeus

I miss Hanners so bad

Giant Speck

Sea goat. Sea gooooooaaaaaat.

William Hanna

I hope whatever that thing is misses her, as well.

Ol' Firebones

See?! This is why I don't like the water. And people freak out over spiders. Feh!

Waffliesinyoface

I mean... It could just be a horizontal giant squid? Hopefully. o.o

Ohhh I miss Hanners. ❤️
