About time she met one that met her standards I think,.... I've yet to see a rational, sensible Hanners drool over a person.

2025-02-04 21:58:17 +0000 UTCPretty long, yeah. Eight years since it was last referenced in the comic, and Hanners herself wasn't even there for that one. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3605

William Karr
2025-02-04 15:10:28 +0000 UTCI can say from experience that Australian firemen holding puppies is not particularly bad to look at on a cold January night, so I'm sure them holding kittens would have a similar effect.

2025-02-04 12:51:51 +0000 UTCTell that to the heat they dissipate over a larger volume, increasing the entropy of the system. (Remember the laws of thermodynamics: You can’t win, You can’t break even, and You can’t quit the game. And there is no other game.)
Philip Masters
2025-02-04 12:46:09 +0000 UTCThey fight it partly by increasing it. They tend to spread the energy of the fire over a larger volume.
Philip Masters
2025-02-04 12:40:29 +0000 UTCGood recall. But she didn't say that entropy wasn't her nemesis - merely that defeating it would cause a lot of problems. She is a wise woman, who understands that a nemesis that can be defeated is not a nemesis, merely a learning experience.
Philip Masters

Freid
2025-02-04 10:31:03 +0000 UTCI can't believe Jeph went for "Entropic firemen" over "Kiten firemen". Then again, I'm not entirely sure the world could survive Hanners as a furry...
Sarah Valentine

enchantedsleeper
2025-02-04 10:07:37 +0000 UTCIn fairness, that WAS before Hanners' "personal breakthroughs" - I suspect she wouldn't be quite as put off by the sweat now.

2025-02-04 03:39:27 +0000 UTCIf ever Hanners meets an AI hunky fireman (or two) who runs a kitten-sitting service, self-sterilizes, and cleans homes as a hobby, she will be lost to everyone forever.
