March Bonus Comic Poll

Same here: I thought we were supposed to realise that we were voting on what is going to get written. It's not canon until Jeph draws it...

Neil Fairweather

Aboriginal tat? Or a Chinese symbol that translates to "Serenity Now!"

Dancing on the Edge of Sanity

Or maybe she's finally going to allow Station to put in that upgrade so she can see him at home!

Tara Cook

Never say never... Perhaps she was an AI with a highly advanced body all along. Not that far-fetched if you consider her heritage. And it might explain the special relationship she has with Station AI.

onitake

Not gonna lie, when I saw body mod my first thought was that hanners was gonna turn part cyborg. Then I remembered the other meaning of body mod, and yet i'm slightly disappointed that mecha-hanners won't be a thing :3

Cha0sniper

Sixth; i missed the poll too, you're popular all around the world; gotta keep timezones in mind.

Rudolph Gerber

If nothing else curious minds would like to know what happened to melon's butt in an unillustrated way; just as long as the mystery is solved -- The case of the Explosive Tuchus

Rudolph Gerber

Fifth. I only got home from work an hour ago, and checked my emails now (currently 8.35PM Australian Eastern Standard Time).

David Paul

Fourth. Could we get 24 hours at least?

Dean Reilly

Thirded. I am on a bunch of Patreons and I get tons of other email every day as it is. I go through my Patreon email about once a day (when I can) and have resorted to checking the Patreon app because of these fast polls. A 24-48 hour poll is basically punishing me for having an actual life outside of email and my phone.

Todd Whitesel

I second that. I opened my laptop here at 8.30AM (Europe time) and the poll was already closed!

Niels Roosen

not to nit pick but could the voting stay open a little longer in future polls? I got the email at 1am and don't really have a chance to vote until I get home at 6pm by which time the voting is closed..

Mark Mckay

The Melon vote ended up being split, which may have made the poll lopsided for Hanners (full disclosure, I always vote for Hanners)

Hedgie

I'd say do the Melon Morality one anyway, since you have an idea in mind for it

Cole Blackblood

I hope it's a hi tech mod

tuypo1

Aha... I see the strategy... divide the Melon vote, and Hanners wins...

Daryk Zirkle

Melon's butt re-entering started the war in "Alice Grove".

Captain Button

Melon confronts her mortality when Hannelore uses Melon's butt in a body mod? Is it a combined story??

Joal Taylor

I am a simple person, I see Hanners, I vote.

Cleo Schmitz

Don't all the earrings count as body mods?

Cleo Schmitz

Butts! Butts!

BobC

What? YOu didn't think these votes were supposed to be fair did you?

Erin Halfelven at BigCloset

I love Melon. But Hannelore freaking out on a piercer/tattoo artist is too much to not vote for. Can't we have all three? Melon confronts her mortality because she saw Hannelore getting a body mod made out of her orbiting butt because of Station??

I can't see hannelore getting a body mod. maybe self-cleaning eyelashes?

ysth

Hannelore has some glaring inconsistencies

Brian

I must know the story of Melon's butt.

Origamigryphon

Melon's loss of her butt made her confront her own mortality, obviously.

Marc Kevin Hall

Y'know, Jeph, you can do the 'Melon Confronts Mortality' strip because you want to; you don't need our permission!

Ben Russell-Gough

Nah, a nose side-ring and she'll feel immensely proud and brave having done it. Of course, she'll eventually have to take it out because it 'unbalances my head'.

Ben Russell-Gough

I like the idea of extending a bit on the AI awareness theme; but who doesn't like a good joke! I appreciate the effort into layering in the philosophical with a good fart joke :-)

Butts!

Being a space program junkie, I MUST know how Melon managed to launch her original glutinal plate into orbit!

Ben Russell-Gough

I love the Melon comics, but since Hanners is my favorite character I'm biased in this one XD

Tim Eldred

A shame the Melon vote's being split against the Hanner caucus

Rich Holmes

Hannelores new Māori facial tatoo should be pretty epic. I hope she does a Haka with Winston.

Andje Lewkowicz-Lalonde

I was going to 'campaign' to have this be an all 3 votes but I realized that would make it not fun for Jeph. Thanks for coming up with cool riff ideas each month.

Stephen Smoogen

She'd better get a hand sanitizer dispenser. Just a little squirt gun of purell.

A sheep

I again see how these could all happen in one comic but it's actually comforting to know that you are riffing on ideas and didn't have anything solid when offering this. I'd feel bad about voting against a written out script you had in mind

Ami

Hannelore’s new body mod has something to do with Melon’s butt. I just know it!

I would be happy with any of these

Allison Hastings

Ditto.

Every time hanners is an option I automatically auto vote

Kelly Jean

Need more melon darnit
