The Power Of Steam

Was his stage name "Ctrl-Z"?

Leak

I think we ARE there xD

enchantedsleeper

She still called Hanners a bitch, though xD I know you're team Anh, but you have to admit that's an overreaction to having someone unknowingly interrupt your conversation

enchantedsleeper

(I see I wrote "staff" when I meant "cast" but it seems like everybody knew what I meant.)

Clifton Royston

Getting railed sounds like so much more fun than getting pounded, ngl.

legobil

I completely missed that & appreciate you calling it out 😄

Pejo

Steamer trunk.

Opus the Poet

I now need Hannelore and Anh to become a romantic couple.

Chris Warren

Hanners is handling the contact a lot better than when we first met her.

Andrew Diseker

Think of the 18+ section of Steam...

Leak

Which is VERY lucky for Anh.

Nulgar

that's what I said!!

Joe

Sisters!

David Pipes

Hanners is better about physical contact, but obviously still not 💯% Ok

Opus the Poet

anh is the only new character I've actually liked in years and that might say a lot about me

kazoo

If she's anyone's sister she's Tai's, because if she were Dora's sister she probably wouldn't be trying to hook up with Dora's brother. But she's probably talking about Sven meeting *his* soulmate at *his* sister's wedding.

Rob Vary

Dora is Sven's sister, and they are speaking about Sven

Not that Patrick Foltz

Is it really getting railed if it's not on a train?

Salodni Ikkis

I'm guessing she's Tai's sister.

danepps

More like suitcase… 😉

A. J. Alfieri-Crispin

She was talking to Sven, thinking that she had a chance with him, when Hannelore came along and, however politely, cut in on her. Then Hannelore started talking to her, and basically started interrogating her about her intentions regarding Sven. Okay, we knew all along that Hannelore's intentions were innocent, but you can't really blame Anh for feeling a little irritated by all that. And now she knows more of the facts, she's being perfectly polite to Hanners.

Philip Masters

Railed vs pounded =? length vs girth

A. J. Alfieri-Crispin

So Ahn is Dora's sister? Did we know this/have we met her before?

PixelThis

Panel 5: 7kHz at 120dB, but with "Gradually increasing volume" checked

Leak

How would that work? In order to deal with her physical contact issues, Hanners would have to wear head-to-toe latex and... hang on. We might have something here :)

Stephen Wells

I could also see Hanellore and Sven having a close platonic friendship which meets their emotional needs, also she plays wingman and helps him to rail selected hotties from time to time. We're practically there already :)

Stephen Wells

Scrolled through dozens of comments very slowly & painfully on this web site in hopes someone would explain Anh's comment about a sister, thank you

Pejo

There's a male Vietnamese-Australian comedian-painter (he's given up comedy for painting according to Wikipedia, which is just as well as I never found him that funny) named Anh Do.

Mark

It would be beyond awesomeness.

Carrie

Either that, or possessives are getting mixed up. xD

enchantedsleeper

Not to excuse the description of Hanners, but Faye has said things that are as bad in the past. I wonder how Anh and Faye would get along, incidentally.

enchantedsleeper

Ohhh xD

enchantedsleeper

Now, we get some good Anh-faces

enchantedsleeper

me too Anh, me too... ~<3

Mitsuki Ayane

We suddenly went from adversaries to besties in 15 seconds. I'm going to laugh if they start to be friends now (but I'm here for it - it could be fun).

Onyx

Mass without leverage will probably not prove satisfactory

Uniquitous

It could potentially happen. Maybe. Hopefully.

Uniquitous

So according to the website “Behind the Name” Anh is a Sino-Vietnamese name which is used in every gender (male, female, neutral) with a variety of meaning from floral (flower, petal) to heroic qualities (brave, hero). It is similar to Ying in Chinese, Yeong or Young in Korean. Anh is combined with a middle name to create a compound name that changes what Anh means by the Sino-Vietnamese characters.

Miyaa

She's been able to do that since her walkabout! Exposure therapy is a mighty powerful treatment, though it's hell to go through

Grace Kieser

Anhomatopoeia?

Joshua O'Madadhain

A girl has got to have her standards.

Mooster

Not Hannalore Von Schwarzpunkt!

Not that Patrick Foltz

Sven can you hammer a six- inch spike through a board with his penis.

Jeff Hartley

Getting railed is, of course, different from getting railroaded.

Sean Kinlin

Honesty is the best policy

MikeT

And along came Pintsize with his briefcase of dildos...

Jax

How about Pinteize with his giant metal phallus?

Daryl Sawyer

That's probably *too much* pounding, even for Anh.

William Cole

It's amusing that multiple people referred to Sven as Dora's sister. Unless something happened to his gender when I wasn't looking, he's her brother. But it's cool that sibling words are maybe merging in our minds.

jonesnori

Okay, she's alright in my book but she should still consider being less hostile to Hanelores in the future

Fart Captor

I..also please? , 🥺

Drazi

No touch!

Drazi

100% came here to say this

Graham

Hugging Hannelore may no longer necessarily herald heavy hyperventilating!

Diptych

You know, this one kinda works if you just read the 3 right side panels vertically.

Matt Lee

She's one of Tai's bridespeople

djellafine

I appreciate that she finally understood the utter wholesomeness of Hanners and stopped being a meanie.

JD

A few months with yaks will do that.

Holly Nelson

Oh, honey..

Thomas Baxter

Railed, rails, train, steam. It took me a moment too.

Valerie Kaplan

You know what, good for her.

Gamera

Ah, no. Not exactickally, no ;)

Claudia D.

If she’s not Tai’s sister, what’s she doing there? Who invited her?

Taigan

I know it's not what you meant, but you said "the characteristics listed" and my brain went "Tall."

Bill Silvia

She did, but only a little bit.

Bill Silvia

Reminds me of the game “Thank Goodness You’re Here!” where at the beginning of the game the tiny lad leaves from a high rise corporate office building where there’s a graph that shows that the corporation’s Steam sales have dramatically plummeted.

Miyaa

Wait… do we know anything about Tai’s background? I didn’t think Tai came from a wealthy background.

Miyaa

Not impossible. Hanners's ability to tolerate a hug like that shows she's making progress with physical contact. And "goobers" or not, they are both highly intelligent, so there isn't a mismatch there. Furthermore, they actually like each other. Hanners certainly has the characteristics she listed in #5413, and their opposite problems with sexuality might itself produce attraction.

Chas Simmons

So that would make her name, Anh, a lewd onomatopoeia.

Miyaa

The facial expressions? Jeph has really been showing off in this last mini-arc (#5410 &c).

ValdVin

The faces in this conversation have been top notch

Alex Burka

Excellent Peter Gabriel reference, kudos.

Doc Gumby

Ha! I can totally hear her continuing… imagining what it would be like to get down with Sven, going on & on, like Jennifer Beals’ character in Four Rooms… “It's hard to stop talking about something that's so *huge*…I mean…”

Melissa Wilson

Also, "Gimme steam / And how you feel can make it real / Real as anything you've seen!"

Clifton Royston

Least she's honest

Hirimake6928

That took an unexpected turn. Though I am glad to see Hanners didn't freak out that a complete stranger hugged her, lol

Aditya Rameshan

I’m missing the reference of the Title. Probably because whenever I see “power of steam”, I think of a mad scientist constructing a steam powered super machine or something.

Thisguy

I've been using the phrase "Good and railed". Have I been saying that wrong?

ValdVin

She’s putting herself in his shoes for the romanticizing. Sven, being a sibling of one of the brides… (you know… the ones that were encouraged to bride one another)

Melissa Wilson

Not *exact*, but damn close. Note the heart eyes both times too, though.

Graydon Armstrong

That's why I only retracted *half* my opinions about her.

Clifton Royston

Hannelore/Sven. I know it'll never happen, but they're both extreme goobers in their own way.

Slayer Anderson

I appreciate the callback of Anh saying the *exact same thing* as Hanners about it being romantic.

ShadowedMage

I'm coming around, but let's not forget that she did refer to Hanners as a bitch... She needs to lose that side.

Graydon Armstrong

Probably meant Sven is Dora's sister, though I suppose we can't rule out them being Tai's sibling.

Ashlyn Crowe

Sven's sister's wedding, presumably.

Clifton Royston

Ahn's smile in that one, *chef's kiss*.

Doc Gumby

I know, right?

alphanor

Oh. Anh struck me as self-centered enough that she would only be talking about herself. I wondered if she was Tai’s sister.

Taigan

Dora. She's talking about Sven meeting his soulmate, not her meeting hers.

Graydon Armstrong

I retract a good half of my opinions about Anh. She's not really a bad person, apart from being rich, she's just a dysfunctional nutcase like half the staff and half the audience.

Clifton Royston

🎶🎵he’d come to town, and he would pound her for a couple of days🎵🎶

Magic Chopstick Games

Hmm, note the similar wording and same heart eyes when Anh described the idea as when Hanners did a few strips back. Maybe Anh and Hanners are the soulmates... unlikely.

Graydon Armstrong

"The World Can Be Saved By Steam!"

Captain Button

LOL, panel 4 you can see Anh succumb to the Hanners Cuteness , no one is immune!!

Logan Nix

Sven is Dora's sister. Dora and Tai's wedding.

ShadowedMage

And thus Hannelore made an unexpected new friend

KingAtticus

Very forthright

Alcaria Swain

“Oh! Have you met Crushbot?”

Andrew

Hanners handles hug heroically!

Doc Gumby

Alright, I like her, lol.

AlexKorobeiniki

Hanners is such a wonderful, pure person.

Tannerbot

She broke the Hanners rule... She touched Hanners. But she took it well... So proud of her!

Joel Bateman

Wait… sister? 🧐

Taigan

The concept, firmly planted...

Alacrity Fitzhugh

it's important to know your priorities

Brendan Luster

Aww, Hanners stranger contact panic.

Graydon Armstrong

Oh damn then she's just about missed her train here lmfao

Dave, Duke of Fridges

At least she's honest about her intentions

Michael
