    A lot of people confuse OCD with OCPD in fiction.

    As someone with OCD, who had it really bad when he was young, I don't see much issues with the portrayal of Hanners. In fact, I think she's one of the more realistic portrayals of OCD in fiction, probably because Jeph has OCD himself.
    Okay, hobby was a bad word. She figured out how to...exploit herself, I guess? She likes counting things, and has OCD for counting things, so worked out a way to get paid for something she wanted/needed to do anyways and would have done for free otherwise.

    's cool, Glyphstone. I just wanted to make sure we were all on the level.

    My OCD wasn't as bad as Hanners' was, but it was pretty bad. If I touched anything that I thought was unclean or possibly poisonous, I had to wash my hands incredibly. If my family gave a time when they were out and went even a single minute over it, I'd panic, thinking they'd died. When they left the house and came back, I had to undergo a ritual to make sure that they weren't someone who had replaced my family while they were out, because I thought that my life was the Truman Show. In fact, Hanners' earlier mention of DJ Phalliz was one of the few things in fiction that represents a big part of OCD- images or thoughts that you'll do things that you despise and have panic attacks about. For us both, it was the image of killing our loved ones.

    As such, I consider Hanners to be the best portrayed example of OCD in fiction that I know of, although it is used for comedy sometimes, but then Jeph has OCD himself so that's okay.

    While this had a trigger, it was not the result of abuse perse- sexual abuse by a neighbour triggered it, but it's a genetic issue, as most OCD is.

    While it might not be comfortable to read that about Hanners, it's not an exaggeration of what OCD can be like.

    Interesting to hear from some OCD folks about Jeph's treatment of the disorder (I didn't know he suffered from it himself). I always kind of figured that Hannelore's issues were a bit exaggerated from real life, but apparently it's a realistic portrayal. Very interesting indeed...

    I love the way the floor is obviously curved in such a large room. That's great.

    Although if the station is spinning to create gravity, wouldn't a huge window pointing directly at the Earth give people motion sickness or something?

    I don't think so, since motion sickness is usualy caused by varied acceleration with no point of reference for it - car driver is much less likely to get sick then a passenger behind him, because he is focused on the outside reference frame. Here all the people feel a stable acceleration, which shouldn't cause sickness.

    My initial reaction was "Marigold's hair isn't that long is it?" followed by "Nope, it isn't" and "Hanners needs to buy some lipstick that lasts longer"

    And yes, "what is Faye doing on the ship?"

    I thought it was Faye too, based on the grandmother comment. Also,

    How to make a double racist-grandma:

    2 parts whiskey
    1 part lemon juice
    2 parts seltzer
    2 healthy dashes of bitters

    stir and pour over ice

    regret your decision

    Can you have more than two?

    Though I suppose a poor man's racist grandmothers are probably pretty similar to a poor man's racist greataunts...

    They're almost identical. For a poor man's racist grandmother, you pour it into a glass first, while the poor man's racist greataunt is just drunk straight from the bottle.

    Should I be worried about understanding most of what was said in this comic? (Not that I could actually make any intelligent comments on it if I was there, but I have at least heard all that terminology).

    Dunno... I don't think I know what TM proteins are (unless they have another name in German) and I have no idea what the white haired guy with the mustache refers to...

    Also, I feel a bit like Jeph watched too much Big Bang Theory now.

    What, you've never been around nerds? That sort of thing would be perfectly normal!

    Marigold should start talking manga and WoW, and Marten, music. Somewhere in a crowd like this there are bound to be otakus and music fans who are obsessive about their hobbies as about science.

    Well, throw enough scientists into one place, and one of them is bound to invent an anti-aging machine.... or just a very good antiwrinkle cream

    Or their combined absent-mindedness warps the reality. If they all forget about aging, it might work.

    I actually smiled at this one.
    But yes, Jeph can only write college students. Think of an adult in this comic who doesn't talk or act a little like a snarky 20-something or a caricature of an adult.
