Liz is the real nemesis here

I demand that we get Liz's reaction shot when she discovers just which genius scientist's daughter she's actually talking to.

Dean Reilly

I assume that Hannelore von Schwarzpunkt looks exactly like Hanners but with dark hair and a tiara.

Zak Reichle

Hanners can empathize with feeling like she was going to die from embarrassment

Patrick Liston

They probably are distantly related though.

Hanners lore is that Liz lore does not include Hannelore...excellent 👌

Logan Nix

Liz gives me huge Peridot vibes <3

Fart Captor

I keep discovering that I CAN in fact love Liz more

Jeph: *writing this comic* Ok so it’ll be Hannelore… um… *smashes face against keyboard* … yeah that looks like a real last name.

Mad Marie

…and now The Countess’s vengeance is complete! You just got Schwartzpunked, Liz!

Nemeses gonna nemesis, eh?

Hannalore is a very common name around these here universes. (nods sagely)

Matt Pedone

I misread "Von" as "you" and thought Liz was calling Hanners a "Schwartzpunkt", which sounds like something a drunk goblin would use as an insult. I thought Liz's reaction was some sort of inferiority complex to Hannelore's family connections (which, it still might be, but HVS, not HEC), but that's ridiculous as Marten never says her last name, and there's no reason to think that Liz knows anything about Marten's friends, as they've not shown any evidence of knowing much about Marten to this point.

Canopus

Hannelore von Schwartzpunkt sounds like a character from Girl Genius.

Captain Button

Well, Dina from "Dumbing of Age" has appeared in both QC and GG, so there is a some inter-dimensional route available...

Douglas E. Smith

Yes, this makes me happy that some of my favorite universes are tied together. I suspect it's due to L-Space and Munden's Bar. There's even a QC reference in Girl Genius in one of the first splash pages of Mechanicsburg!

I didn't see this coming.

Fun German game: If somebody comes up with a noble title, look what is actually named that. This time, it's a technique in photography/graphic design to adjust the color values, a skin condition, a company that produces polymers for construction usage. There is also a moth called Gelbe(r?) Schwarzpunkt-Flechtenbär.

I've sobered up and remembered far less embarrassing things than that and entombed myself for a week

DaddyUmbreon

The backstory thickens. Like grits that have been sitting out too long 🤪

Miyaa

Lady Hannelore of the Moth would be so goth.

Miyaa

One last thing: I really want to know now if Countess Hannelore von Scharzpunkt had 6 boyfriends and a chauffeur in the 4th grade. Would totally be more interesting than all these pre-teen/teen YA novels out there now.

Ruth Merriam

The Liz baggage now expands to a full set including steamer trunk, dual hard sides, carry-on, makeup case, and laserprinted initials on all 10 pieces.

Hugh Eckert

Maybe the real treasure was the nemeses we made along the way...

TubaGinger

The fact that there are two people named Hannelore at all, let alone that they are now separated by a mere 3 degrees of social connection, might be one of the more reality-stretching things Jeph has written.

Fart Captor

Hannelore is an actual name used by real people. I think it's Dutch

Anonymous

Bet she didn't see THIS in her simulations....

Sehrys

I know two people called Hannelore actually, and they know each other as well :D it's quite the normal German name, if a little old-fashioned

Yonatan Zunger

Wait, what? Is Hannelore some kind of version of חנלה or something? It sounded far more Germanic to me.

Anonymous

One might surmise that Liz's nemesis was named to reflect on the space version. People tend to name children after famous people's choices.

Chris Warren

I don't approve of people being mean to Hannelore. She's nice.

Uniquitous

Is it me or was Liz creepin' on Marten a little bit in panel 1?

SheepFace2000

Liz you be nice to the cinnamon roll or you will be going in the ocean

Ursus Ridens

The von Schwartzpunts seem like top-level snobs, but they haven't always had it so easy -- back in the fifteenth century, they were only von Graupunkts and had to polish their own armor. But then young Plunzhilde von Graupunkt caught the eye of Friedrich III, and the storied Anstieg der Schwarzpunkte began. Hannelore von S.'s father is from a cadet branch, and only inherited one dilapidated castle and a Mercedes limo which needs a ring job.

Zak Reichle

That's what I assumed and was dreading instantly, I was actually less bothered by the outburst because of it.

Miyaa

If Narbonic can have the Dave Society, then QC can have the Hannelore Institute complete with buildings with no windows and a secret tea ceremony. (Why Hannelore is so good with making tea for robots.)

Miyaa

Someone has been watching the YouTube channel series, “The American Viscountess.”

Bagge

Seems like Hannelore finally got a lead on her evil clone

Mad Marie

Perhaps Bagge is referring to the “clone” in https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1662 ?

Mad Marie

Headcanon: Hannelore’s evil clone in https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1662 is named “Hannedata”.

I'm getting some weird slacker/supervillain vibes off of Liz. 19 year old me would have probably been bonkers for her.

Anonymous

....aaaaaaand I just realized that THAT would have made me the dirtbag boyfriend Dad-Marten disapproved of!

Bagge

I did, so now I'm really curious if she also has a doppelganger I've forgotten about. Seems like her life

Sean Kinlin

I'm amazed I have not seen this joke before (though maybe it was made before I joined the Patreon).

Sean Kinlin

Are there a lot of people who are both a slacker and a supervillain?

Zak Reichle

Maybe ....Megamind..? Midnight Bomber (What Bombs At Midnight) -Tick Him - Powerpuff girls Team Rocket - Pokemon

Ursus Ridens

Nope, Most of my YouTube watching is the almost annoyingly chipper Beryl Shereshewsky's food videos. But I can recommend Simon Winder's wonderful history/travelogue/memoir _Lotharingia_, which is full of that sort of stuff. (There is also _Danubia_, which is about the Habsburgs and even more full thereof, but depressing, and _Germania_, which I haven't been able to bring myself to read.)

Stephen Wells

Apparently there is nothing that can be done about this. I checked with the UN.

Stephen Wells

"What you've got to Schwartz yourself, Punkt, is - are you feeling lucky?" Sorry. It was in my head. Now it's in yours! You're welcome.

Miyaa

@Ursus Ridens • Beryl Shereshewsky’s videos are a gem. Have you watched her Indian wedding video?

Anonymous

yeah. reminds me of Jordan Kennedy from Exploitation Now. Only with, you know, social support.

Bagge

Aint gonna lie - I'll pay good money for Countess Hannelore von Schwarszpunkt 4th grade harem anime/manga/visual novel

Bagge

OUR Hannerlore is nice. The jury is still out on Countess Hannelore von Schwarzpunkt

Leak

Could'a been worse, could'a been a Blaupunkt...

Hannalore sympathizes because Hannalore has a nemesis of her own. The Juicy-Couture lady.
