Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Note: examples are sorted in numerical order — please insert new examples in their corresponding places. Exceptions may be made when a sequence of strips is nominated collectively.

Faye: Why would you want me to get better if you weren't planning on waiting for me so we could date?
Marten: Because I CARE about you, dammit.

  • Double CMoH; The AI on Hannelore's Dad's space station apologizes to someone he played a cruel prank on by giving her some shares in Ellicott-Chatham Technologies. The fact that he owns shares in the first place reminds us that A Is really are humanity's equals. The second part comes when he says the shares she now owns are worth 4.6 Million US Dollars. Her ponytail comes undone from the shock.
  • This strip may not seem like much, until you understand that Hannelore spent her entire childhood dealing with a crippling OCD and a severe germophobia, and until this day had never before hugged her own father.
  • Hannelore's words of encouragement to Marigold. They become even more touching in retrospect as the next few strips show how much Hannelore is speaking from her own heart about having come through to the other side of that day herself.

Someday, everything is going to go right for you, and it will be so wonderful you won't even know what to do.
