The Channeling

release the virus

Bagge

Yeah, but how much <i>could</i> you have changed the world if you completed more of what you started?

awgiedawgie

Honestly I don't see that as a bad thing in the sense that she's trying to keep her dad motivated and committed to his word.

w h a t

She doesn't want anything to do with her mother at this point. And I'm pretty sure Hanners would realize the hypocrisy of contacting her mother specifically to use her for her own benefit.

Daryl Resplandor

To paraphrase Terry Pratchett, Hannelore has a big red button with a sign that reads “END OF THE WORLD BUTTON. DO NOT PUSH.” and Winslow didn’t even wait for the paint to dry. Although to be fair, that paint is probably going to still be tacky after the heat death of the universe.

Summer Sudbrink

Not at all no, but Hanners would not want to be compared to someone as ruthlessly corporate and business-minded as her mother

KingAtticus

...Oops. Gotta run!

Jeffrey Nonken

I love tannelore.

Luzahn

To be fair, I only complete about 4% of the project I've ever started, and I've already managed to change the world twice. :-)

Elf Sternberg

Them’s fightin’ words, Winslow.

Sleepy John

Not that long, the party they had the other day was there. In universe it probably was one or tw days ago

Tachpmg

They find out three weeks from now he had Station crank out a state-of-the-art body for her from the onsite labs and shipped it the same day he sent the letter, but there was a routing problem and it went through Hong Kong... It looks all blobby and bland till they turn it on, and then it autoconfigures to an androgynous body and face until you select specific features, and - it looks exactly like Yay.

That hair kinda looks like a lion's mane. Angry lion Hanners.

Somebody Else

What's that referencing, I just saw it used here a few hours ago and now I'm curious: https://twitter.com/gene_hf/status/1283173730990997505

Peter Jensen

Nice use of kerning for evoking dread. :-)

Hannelore's hidden power- a face-melting stare. Funny, her mother had that one too!

jimbo

I think this is the only appropriate response: Winslow? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uf_rTLqj0o

Joseph Bonnar

I mean, having her mother's organisational skills isn't a terrible thing.

Chris Crowther

I don't know why, but this was my first association: Menalore. https://i.imgur.com/bQfYW4u.png

Evgeniy Semyonov

Is this scene in Coffee of Doom? It's been forever since we've been there!

Peter Shaw

My mom always said, you never know what you're gonna git.

SpookyPenguin

Panels 3 and 4 are perfect to create a "tales from retail" meme. Thank you! :D

Ye Olde Phart

Panel 4 eyes O.O 0_0

Clifton Royston

That is EXACTLY the look my son gets when I tell him he's acting like his Mom.

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

It's too late to run, Winslow.

Adam Friedlander

By now, I can't read the words "oh no" without the song of the same name by Luke Westaway starting in my head. The opening lyrics even kinda fit: Oh no Terrible news: I've grown Grown as a person Not enough to make me better, more considerate Less anxious in myself

Nulgar

Too bad that computer in his head doesn't allow Winslow to think before he speaks.

awgiedawgie

So Winslow has a self-destruct function, but with extra steps. Gotcha.

"So, you have chosen D E A T H."

Evgeniy Semyonov

and besides, such a body would make her job difficult

Devinity

I mean... yeah? the Rollins Band's "Just Like You" is relevant here.

Thomas A. Dennis

The comparison is horrible, but the power is necessary.

Jonah Eisenstock

Ooooooo miniscule possibility of this eventually leading to a phonecall

Don't forget, there are TWO emergency AI bodies they might have access to - Winslow's and (I think) Momo's. Wait - didn't they do something to Momo's old body to prevent Pintsize from... well, being Pintsize?

Bryce Maryott

I think it's just that the bar and the back wall are the same color and in some of the panels it happens to be cropped in a way that the bar is not visible, but I definitely thought you were right for a minute there.

Hannelore seems to teleport from back to front of bar, and back again. She is behind the bar in each panel but you have to look twice.

Niilo Paasivirta

Oh Winslow, we hardly knew ye.

drone r0m-3

Are we now one step closer to releasing the virus? Damn it, Winslow.

Will Weaver

The Hannering has begun. None shall be spared.

William Burns

I’m saving that What! As a reaction image 😆

Bonnie Fiddis

The Channeloreing...

Solomon Garland

It’s the slow pointed angry ‘what’ that has an implied challenge. You would have heard it before.

Matthew Van Gangelen

He'd *better* run....

Tom wilson

Shit, he'd have been doing a Frisbee imitation out the front window in his old body.

Czarzhan

Good thing Winslow doesn't have his old body. He wouldn't have made it off the counter, much less out of Hanners' reach...

Douglas E. Smith

How dare you, sir!

Adam Daw

Oh buoy...

Alacrity Fitzhugh

Winslow...R U N

Joel Bateman

I mean, it's not like Winslow is just wrong, he just might have better considered the impact of his statement.

Thomas Halpin

Winslow isn't wrong, you know...

Ralph

2020 would do well to have ANOTHER virus to deal with....

Shawn K. Younkin

Hanners being exasperated with her dad was just what I needed today.

Dean Reilly

Winslow was never seen again....

Shawn K. Younkin

Chill, Hanners, it's Winston.

Simon Green

Welp. time for Winslow to return to the yaks. He'll live peacefully there

Damien

Fuckin RIP Winslow

Nicholas Lopez

Channellore :P

JPMK! {verb}

Oh Hannelore. &lt;3

Everett Bradshaw

oops

Tamara Macadam

Or Hanner's from somewhere else.

Michael Boettger

“All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.” https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/earnest/quotes/page/3/

Captain Button

I'm hoping for the latter!

Grace Kieser

Sorry, Hanners. We all eventually end up channeling our parents.

Grace Kieser

Faye and Bubbles' next project: dislodging Winslow's foot from his mouth

Dylan T

YOU DONE MESSED UP NOW WINSLOW

Aditya Rameshan

*It's Always Sunny Theme* "Winslow Fucking Dies"

Hilda Leyes

Bad Winston. Next he’ll be sharing his body with May! Hmm would that be like a conscience? Or split/competing personalities.

Andrew

But yeah, between Tilly and Station, they could write up the proposals, get him to sign, and get it SAFELY planetsize. And perhaps petty cash to put a down payment on a new chassis.

Michael Boettger

Shouldn't have said that. Should NOT have said that

Niskara

Crab apple? 🍎

Todd Perkins

Oh boy, also what does w h a t sound like? Just slower?

4% doesnt seem that bad some days...

Todd Perkins

Wait, is Hannelore now going to chew out her mother to get this done?

Carin Maja Brooks

Guess she's still on her way to becoming a supervillain after all.

And that's why she releases the virus…

William Cole

RUN.

Samantha Yeaman

Poor Hanners. Being bossy and getting people to do what you want isn't inherently bad. It's a tool like any other. I hope she understands that. But I can see this causing a huge crisis for her.

The apple may have fallen far from the tree, but it seems to be rolling back towards it....

Lord Crusade

OH NO

Miyaa

Oh, no. You shouldn’t have done that.

EnterTheHero

Oh boy.

Antoine Leblanc

No Winslow, not the "M" word.

Michael Boettger

I expected her eyes to be red for the last panel.

Bob Gilmore

He done fucked up.

Oh boy

Dave, Duke of Fridges

Oh boy.

R L

oh boy
