It's an "I'm helping!" look. One usually sees it on the face of a cat in the middle of a half-made bed.

Give them time. It is certainly possible Hannelore will eventually figure out how to use her efficiently.

Derrik Pates

Tammy is busy standing on her head.

i love the look on marten's face in the last panel

I want Tilly in my life so bad, for real. I've spent this whole arc wishing I could afford a Tilly. With Tilly's exact intense, earnest personality. They could live with me. For real.

Drew Blas

How much time Hanners had to waste writing Tilly's name versus the time Tilly has saved her seems to be a net loss

Don't be too hard on them. They specifically said they weren't any good. Sorry Tilly, I almost used the wrong pronoun.

Mark

It fulfils a need I didn't realise that _I_ had.

Patrick Jackson

No. That is a handstand, not a headstand. That's basic gym Tilly, come on...

Andrew

I was tempted to suggest that we should repeat it along with Hanners, but realised I might get a LOT of replies.

Rudolph Gerber

In this case I think he may be an instigator as well. One thing can be said about Tilly: they definitely pan to give it the ole college try,

William Burns

Looking at the board, I concede to Tilly. However, I now have a headcanon that their <strong>hair</strong> is named <em>Taffy</em>.

Chris Gallaty

Hanners just wants to call them Taffy because they are so salty...

Ralf Paul

Would you keep them on if you were doing a headstand?

Czarzhan

In panel 4, where's Tilly's glasses?

Timo

...you mean mnemonic? :D

Curse you! How did you know I vas a Wampire! (I must now count each Tafilly before I can go hunting zer B-VORD!)

Minzoku Bokumetsu

waiting for someone to come in and ask for an order of Tilly

Brian English

The true joke is how many “Taffy”s Hannelore accidentally wrote as part of her exercise with the blackboard..... as well as how many people here just looked back at the comic to count them. 😀

Brent Catherman

Bart Simpson has been writing on a chalkboard for almost 30 years. I don't think it helps.

Sally Fields

If it's so exhausting why doesn't she just get Taffy to do it?

MikeT

Marten is an enabler

Andrew

Hanners: Tilly Is a Lot Like You. It's a simple pneumonic. Simpler than Hugging Hannelore Heralds Heavy Hyperventilating :)

Ack

Oh god there's two of them.

Andrew

Hey Tilly - the floor is lava.

i still call cyborg

Gary Walker

Also, I cannot wait for ubiquitous robotics and ai to make Tilly someone we all have one of. I would get so much shit done.

Gary Walker

Like I almost want singular they to bother Hannelore at this point just so I'd feel like I do ok.

Kyle Major

The oddity is certainly of entertainment but no

I love the fact that Martin is totally chill around "non-standard" people like he is. First Claire and now Tilly. An excellent personal role-model, I point to him and go "dang now why can't I control my buttheaddeness and be more like Martin."

Gary Walker

Any time she wrote"Taffy" Hanners erased the whole board, washed it thoroughly and started over. Because real OCD really sucks that way.

Andrew Mitchell

You missed an opportunity there Jeph. I was hoping to see one accidental Taffy on the board. 😀

So now the unwanted assistant is further weaseling unbidden into Hannelore's life? Still creepy.

Celine Chamberlin

Ah, heck, Jeph, now I officially like Tilly and it's all your fault. And Hanners using that chalkboard to force Tilly's name to stick in her brain is brilliant.
