Sub-Assistant Reed

It's an "I'm helping!" look. One usually sees it on the face of a cat in the middle of a half-made bed.

Gary Walker

Give them time. It is certainly possible Hannelore will eventually figure out how to use her efficiently.

Daryl Sawyer

Tammy is busy standing on her head.

Derrik Pates

i love the look on marten's face in the last panel

I want Tilly in my life so bad, for real. I've spent this whole arc wishing I could afford a Tilly. With Tilly's exact intense, earnest personality. They could live with me. For real.

How much time Hanners had to waste writing Tilly's name versus the time Tilly has saved her seems to be a net loss

Drew Blas

Don't be too hard on them. They specifically said they weren't any good. Sorry Tilly, I almost used the wrong pronoun.

It fulfils a need I didn't realise that _I_ had.

Mark

No. That is a handstand, not a headstand. That's basic gym Tilly, come on...

Patrick Jackson

I was tempted to suggest that we should repeat it along with Hanners, but realised I might get a LOT of replies.

Andrew

In this case I think he may be an instigator as well. One thing can be said about Tilly: they definitely pan to give it the ole college try,

Rudolph Gerber

Looking at the board, I concede to Tilly. However, I now have a headcanon that their <strong>hair</strong> is named <em>Taffy</em>.

William Burns

Hanners just wants to call them Taffy because they are so salty...

Chris Gallaty

Would you keep them on if you were doing a headstand?

Ralf Paul

In panel 4, where's Tilly's glasses?

Czarzhan

...you mean mnemonic? :D

Timo

Curse you! How did you know I vas a Wampire! (I must now count each Tafilly before I can go hunting zer B-VORD!)

waiting for someone to come in and ask for an order of Tilly

Minzoku Bokumetsu

The true joke is how many “Taffy”s Hannelore accidentally wrote as part of her exercise with the blackboard..... as well as how many people here just looked back at the comic to count them. 😀

Brian English

Bart Simpson has been writing on a chalkboard for almost 30 years. I don't think it helps.

Brent Catherman

If it's so exhausting why doesn't she just get Taffy to do it?

Sally Fields

Marten is an enabler

MikeT

Hanners: Tilly Is a Lot Like You. It's a simple pneumonic. Simpler than Hugging Hannelore Heralds Heavy Hyperventilating :)

Andrew

Oh god there's two of them.

Ack

Hey Tilly - the floor is lava.

Andrew

i still call cyborg

Also, I cannot wait for ubiquitous robotics and ai to make Tilly someone we all have one of. I would get so much shit done.

Gary Walker

Like I almost want singular they to bother Hannelore at this point just so I'd feel like I do ok.

Gary Walker

The oddity is certainly of entertainment but no

Kyle Major

I love the fact that Martin is totally chill around "non-standard" people like he is. First Claire and now Tilly. An excellent personal role-model, I point to him and go "dang now why can't I control my buttheaddeness and be more like Martin."

Any time she wrote"Taffy" Hanners erased the whole board, washed it thoroughly and started over. Because real OCD really sucks that way.

Gary Walker

You missed an opportunity there Jeph. I was hoping to see one accidental Taffy on the board. 😀

Andrew Mitchell

So now the unwanted assistant is further weaseling unbidden into Hannelore's life? Still creepy.

Ah, heck, Jeph, now I officially like Tilly and it's all your fault. And Hanners using that chalkboard to force Tilly's name to stick in her brain is brilliant.

Celine Chamberlin

Panel 4 is excellent and I love it.

Diptych

Jeph is a lot more dedicated than me. I would have had her only be like two Tillys into writing it.
