But not in the panel, that's the critical thing. :)

2023-05-02 16:30:48 +0000 UTCThe compliments, at least, are left-handed.

2023-05-02 03:39:23 +0000 UTCI wish I could remember where I'd seen it, but I read a full analysis of the banter in that Princess Bride scene by a knowledgeable HEMA scholar who explained how it's all correct references to actual traditional dueling/fencing teachers and schools. What's more, they're all accurate and meaningful in the context of what's going on in the duel. The only one I remember is that Bonetti was a popular Italian fencing instructor in England who's known to have taught a kind of shuffling footwork for defense - which actually would be appropriate for retreating over rocky terrain where you'd have to be wary of tripping over something behind you.

2023-05-01 18:54:17 +0000 UTCI think her mom would have been far less subtle

2023-05-01 15:53:06 +0000 UTCHanners doesn't get enough credit for using her naivete like a dagger.
Russell Guldin
2023-05-01 15:48:55 +0000 UTCFurther evidence that Hanners is Best Girl… -Evan exists in pajamas- but a new contender has arrived…
William Stark
2023-05-01 15:12:50 +0000 UTCIs this going to turn into a "Three's Company" episode where Hanners and Faye hug, and Bubbles walks in and completely misunderstand?
Summer Sudbrink
2023-05-01 14:56:24 +0000 UTCIt does look like where the cash register would be and is the exact same color (compare to #5028). I think the background is a standard asset, so likely the new art was dropped on top and it's just unfortunately placed to give the wrong impression. Scooching them over a little so the edge of the register is visible could maybe clear up the visual ambiguity.

2023-05-01 13:04:04 +0000 UTCDoes “touché” count as butts disease?
Mad Marie
2023-05-01 12:27:45 +0000 UTCEh, I don't actually think Hanners has a moral leg to stand on here, savage as her clapback may be.
Daniel Blom Paulsen
2023-05-01 09:41:29 +0000 UTCFrom wholesome to 😬 in .5 seconds xD I love Faye and Hanners

Leak
2023-05-01 07:44:25 +0000 UTCJeph, the gap between Faye's arm and body on the 3rd panel seems to have been flood filled as cream colour. It could be something like the cash register behind her, but it reads as a colouring mistake.

2023-05-01 07:22:52 +0000 UTCHow is this coffee both odourless and tasteless??
Andrew
2023-05-01 05:56:55 +0000 UTCIt seemed appropriate, given the rocky emotional terrain.
Shane Wegner
2023-05-01 05:50:26 +0000 UTCI imagine studying with her mom and the various people in those circles was at least as instructive on the finer points.
Shane Wegner
2023-05-01 05:49:52 +0000 UTClol I love these two so much

Mad Marie
2023-05-01 04:30:37 +0000 UTCJust wait until each of them reveals that they are not left-handed!
Mad Marie
2023-05-01 04:29:05 +0000 UTCAnd the wide eyed innocent/astonished look in the next is excellent.
Am Queue
2023-05-01 04:27:46 +0000 UTCYou are using Bonetti's defense against me, eh?
William Cole
2023-05-01 03:38:35 +0000 UTCNOW we see what genes Hannelore inherited from her mother. Ouch!

2023-05-01 03:35:10 +0000 UTCThank goodness this is resolved. Now we can switch to Steve eating croissants for breakfast. (Quaso!)

2023-05-01 02:26:32 +0000 UTCYou know what this is for Hanners? Growth.

Simon Green
2023-05-01 02:08:29 +0000 UTCIt's like swordfighting but the swords are under the table and neither will admit holding one.

2023-05-01 01:48:48 +0000 UTCTwo experts fencing in the last two panels. Point to Hannelore, I think.
Joseph Bonnar
2023-05-01 01:47:27 +0000 UTCHanners has learned well from the gang. She can passive aggressive with the best of them. 😈
