Bloop

It's a rare, giant aqua-goat.

Duke

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

I like Winslow's shorts

Luke Stark

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.

Bagge

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

William Davy

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

AJ Saint

Hanners! My day has been made!

Everett Bradshaw

This ^

Tim

At your nearest university/museum/public library

Bagge

Blood Mountain?

Brian

Oh hi Hanners! Hi Winslow! Hi Cthulhu!

Will Weaver

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.

Who's Steve? (Just kidding.)

Alex Borders

More like Octo-eye! (I feel ashamed)

Haldon Lindstrom

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

AquaGoat!

Jon Guyer

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!

Ben Russell-Gough

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!

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

Ben Russell-Gough

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.

Ian Wolfe

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. :)

Al Hunt

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

Ack

Hanners!! Oh how I've missed you.

Ted Van Roekel

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

Bagge

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

Grace Kieser

*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!

Bagge

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.

Gary Walker

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.

Bagge

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

Gary Walker

Goatiteuthis.

Gary Walker

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?

Miyaa

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.

Mitchell Sealy

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

Hawkeye

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

Mark

Objects in portholes are larger than they appear...

That's a lot of lube.

Jamison Town

Fish are friends, not food.

Giant octopus! They have horizontal pupils!

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!

Trigon Manthree

Perhaps Hanners only THINKS she survived Blood Mountain.

Summer Sudbrink

Calamari Damacy?

Summer Sudbrink

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

Shawn K. Younkin

Bonus strip: Hanners on Blood Mountain!

Andy Sleeper

Undersea goat!

Ami

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

Kyle Jenkins

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

Nematrec

Another facet of SpookyBot...

Matt Grayson

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

Andrew Mitchell

I miss Hanners so bad

Mordaeus

Sea goat. Sea gooooooaaaaaat.

Giant Speck

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

William Hanna

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

Ol' Firebones

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

Waffliesinyoface

Ohhh I miss Hanners. ❤️
