The interaction is perhaps close to getting... out of Han?
Eric Sieck
Why would there be overalls in the dress section of the soup store?
OldGoat
Who put the overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder?
Doc Gumby
I find your lack of white scleras... DISTURBING...
Shane Wegner
Ahhh the paint bucket spilled flesh color into the whites of Hanners' eyes in panel 1 and now I can't unsee it!
will davison
And is Hanners being… too oblivious to Ahn’s cattyness?
Claudia D.
You know what? Hannelore saying, "Yeah, you can buy them at stores." kind of implies that buying dresses (and other clothes?) in stores is a newish thing for her. Don’t you wonder how her clothes were styled and made for her on the Station? I think you’ve got it exactly right, AI styled and fabbed. And with pockets, lots of pockets…
ValdVin
I didn't notice before, but, yeah First Panel Hanners looks like Hanna-Barbera c. 1971.

“New York’s hottest new club is The Dress Store. It has everything: dresses,”
Nick Gilbert
But it’s also so cute I added it to my Reactions Album
Nick Gilbert
I don’t know if this is an error, and if pointing it out is unwelcome I will never do it again, but it looks like the white’s of Hanner’s eyes weren’t colored in.

hanners is helping (tm)
allanfranta
Hanners has her name sewn in the label in case she goes to camp.
allanfranta
brunch?
allanfranta
Which side of the aisle was she sitting on?
Eric Sieck
Better to buy pants at the dress store than dresses at the soup store
allanfranta
@Grace: Bartender told me "It's noon somewhere" with a big grin once.
allanfranta
I never went in, I thought it was odd to store men in a warehouse... was this joke done?
Philip Masters
It may be complex, though. The whole point of things like advanced fashion sense and exclusive designers is that they enable old money to distinguish themselves from the vulgar nouveau riche. Even if the latter have more cash.
allanfranta
Sean, depends on your belly.
allanfranta
Water off a ducks back.
Philip Masters
I doubt that Hanners is very accustomed to detecting hostility.
Philip Masters
Point. Though presumably some red carpet dresses eschew the label and the pocket, on account of transparency. (Also, Jill Bearup will approve of those pockets…)
Sean Kinlin
But the important question is: zip, then fasten? or fasten, then zip?
Claudia D.
Evangeline Dubonnet will most certainly have her label inside her creations ("Anonymous" is not to be thought of). They will be exquisitely designed labels, hand sewn next to the invisibly set-in zipper, and a cleverly concealed pocket for your "Universal Card". It is known.

I also learned "never buy off the rack for special occasions" but that's because clothes that were hung up were more expensive than the ones displayed folded on a table or shelf.
Jose Alfredo Villalobos
Never buy buy off the rack for special occasions. Get your tailor to make you an original or rent from exclusive brand. Not me though I go to the thrift store.
Jane the Inscrutable
There's a Barn Barn just downhill from my house actually!
Philip Masters
Yes, but if she almost always gets what she wants, it’s not a very visible problem. And I get the impression that her female friends can mostly laugh off her worst habits.
Nancie
What happens is, Hanners buys her incredibly inexpensive dress — then takes it to a tailor, as the rich do. Ta da! Cheap dress looks great.
Nancie
As I recall, they do have crates. Strictly as display surfaces though. Or maybe they used to, but don’t anymore.
Philip Masters
The fact remains it's a label, though. Off the peg is off the peg, whichever peg it was. Anh has just said she buys made-to-measure from an exclusive designer.
Philip Masters
The key distinction is between "dress store" and "exclusive designer". Hanners bought off the peg. However much she spent, that simply never has the same snob value as "made to measure from an exclusive designer". However, the fact that Hanners looks so good, and still emits heiress vibes, despite not even caring about labels, will be making Anh grind her teeth.
Philip Masters
I suspect that Hanners's mother maintains a presence on the high society scene, if only for a few contacts and some basic PR.
Diptych
Her hairdresser is being forcefully recalibrated?!

You will be disappointed twice over when you step into a Crate and Barrel.
Claudia D.
You KNOW that label is going to be eye-popping one way or another:Walmart? Balenciaga? And now, we wait…
Andrew
“Do up the fly, you fools!”
Mad Marie
Anh: This label...says..."Black Floating Slab that Emits a Hum"??? Hanners: Oh so thaaaaaats what they do when they're not getting coffee!
Mad Marie
@tellumo: I think it must be a bunch place. I wonder if they serve soup?
Mad Marie
That's truly lovely.
Mad Marie
Salad is one or more vegetables with a vinegary condiment, right? If you put onions and mustard on a chili dog, is that soup sandwich and salad?
Mad Marie
@Grace: How forward-thinking of them!
Mad Marie
@chopstick: No, you can't.
Mad Marie

Oh I totally forgot that's what she was doing...lol!
djellafine
I'm sort of wondering if Hannelore is partly pretending to be this level of naive and 100% unaware of the level of frost aimed in her direction?
Stephen Wells
Hanner's dress has a dynamic display label that is actively managed by Station, so it currently has a very rude personal message for Anh themed around "you couldn't afford me".
Byron Wright
FUCK YOU
Boots McGoot
Hannelore has access to Rich Bitch Mode but only uses it in emergencies. She's so good 😊
Comics Ladybird
Ahn’s “heiressdar” is being forcefully recalibrated… I think it will explode when she realizes Hannelore is an heiress, but one who kept the science side much more than the moneyed side.
Mitsuki Ayane
you can't tell me what to do Jeph, I'm going to go buy pants at the dress store right now... also a dress. ~<3
Captain Button
Is chili soup? Is a chili dog soup and a sandwich?
Captain Button
It's made of Sinclair monofilament and can be used to cut people's ehads off in an emergency.
enchantedsleeper
I don't think that's how Hanners shops, or dresses
Brad Kirkwood
I get the feeling that it's gonna turn out that Hanners's dress is super high end and expensive but she bought it because she liked it and didn't bother to look at the price
SpookyPenguin
Hopefully someone won't have to say the same thing to chase Anh off. But useless people, hmm.
Jared Kolbly
Why do I get the feeling she won't recognize Hannelores parents? It feels hard to imagine with how famous they are, but it also feels like they may be outside of the scope of people Anh pays attention to.
Grace Kieser
It's 4:20 somewhere?
Grace Kieser
They are selling dresses at the Men's Warehouse now!? I haven't been in one since I graduated high school!

"WHY ARE YOU BUYING PANTS AT THE DRESS STORE??"
(void)
Dress to impress.... Or look nice, whatever works for you!
Fazal Majid
I remember a story about Jay Rockefeller showing his dad John D. III Rockefeller around the newly constructed Rockefeller Center in New York. A the end, he said “Pretty impressive, huh?”. The elder Rockefeller’s response: “Son, exactly who are we trying to impress?”
James Milne
Where's the shame ball when you need them?

The first time I saw a Tuesday Morning store, I pulled into the parking lot and walked out of my car with only one question in mind: *what the hell does this place *do???**

I can't wait until she realizes who Hanners is
legobil
You would imagine you could buy barns there, in bulk. “Hi! A fist of barns, please!”
Ashley Thomas
the way she was talking down to her and being all about exclusive expensive things, and the way she was talking about both hanners and sven before does not in any way make her seem like shes nice even when she gets what she wants. shes narcissistic and entitled.
Maurice Kessler
And winggirl is outta there!
Maurice Kessler
Unnecessary. Hanners will make Anh crazy by not responding to any of her insults.
Thisguy
Hannelore may be an heiress, but she really doesn’t care about it. She may use her power to help her friends, but she doesn’t get satisfaction out of flaunting her wealth, Hanners finds greater achievement just overcoming her own demons.
Gamera
Glass roses and brillo pads
Eric Eisenhart
Hanners is rich enough that The Dress Store could be a very expensive designer’s exclusive place.
Joel Bateman
I bet it's some super exotic high end dress, and Hanners just thought it was cute.
PixelThis
Way down the road after going fully into nemesis mode and Hannelore not noticing or caring.
SpaceAustralian
Watchu buin?
Rob The Mildly Perplexed!
The snobby girl is going to find out who Hannelore is and how rich she is and freak out
Pete
She is assessing for whether Anh is kind, patient, and a good communicator.
Ami
I'm at soup
Holly Nelson
It really is a couture name, but WE are too exclusive to know it. Personally, my dresses are all from Chez Bonne Volonte and Armée du Salut. 💋
Leticia Sparkman
She did already suspect that Hanners is an heiress, so I wouldn't expect that to be the big reveal other than the scale of it all.
DVW
Do they at least sell bulks?
The Clayote
Plot twist. Hannelore knows very well who that is, but is playing the fool so that Anh will be behind for mercy when she hears Hanners' last name. It's something Hannelore learned from her mother, and the fact that she did this without really trying will provoke some soul searching.
William Cole

I have been the help for some 1% people, this shows well how a "minor" difference like doing your own shopping can be shocking. 🤦♀️
Diptych
It's a viral scene of anime characters arguing about shopping at 'the soup store', called 'I'm At Soup'. I'm told it's from a fan parody/abridged version of an anime series I haven't seen.
Am Queue
I have somehow completely missed what The Soup Store is, in terms of references in this post. Clue? Link? plzthks
Yelling Bird
Ok, that snooty ass needs to have something colossally embarrassing happen to her. Right here, right now, posted to YouTube.
Diptych
I don't know which is more delicious - that Hanners is too nice to even pick up on Anh's rudeness, or that Hanners' off-the-peg dress looks nicer than Anh's designer exlusive.
Matthew Michela
Perhaps Station made the dress and it's only accessible by residents living in orbit.
Fart Captor
If this chick doesn't start finding Hanelore charming fast I'm gonna throw her in the ocean 😤
Joshua Bushman
The possibility of this happening has me extremely invested in this subplot.
ljdbjlasfbjk
I tried to go to the warehouse, but it turned into a human when the full moon ended and it wandered off.
Matthew Delahaye
Bulk Barn also doesn't sell barns. One of these barn stores needs to sell barns, but could you imagine the size of the warehouse?
Jason Wotzko
Hanners wealth is... out of this world?
Andrew
“Uh, is this tag in elvish?”
Cody Renton
I bought pants at the dress store once; I count myself lucky to have escaped with my life. I left a lot of good men behind me in that hellhole.
PostRetroism
@William Cole: Hanners and Anh are different heights, I don't think they can swap dresses.
Uniquitous
They were out of soup.
awgiedawgie
Someone's about to pull Anh aside and whisper "you have no idea who she is, do you?"
Uniquitous
This lady is gonna say the wrong thing and activate the Hannelore Defense Battalion.
Tinwhisker
"She's nice when she gets what she wants" isn't a strong argument.
Grace Kieser
As much as Anh wants to be catty, Hanners is too fixated in hooking Sven up to notice! She is definitely the best Hanners, plus her dress looks super cute!
SpookyPenguin
Dress Nazi: No Pants For You!
Czarzhan
Oh, don't be surprised if that tag on Hanners's dress is an uber-exclusive designer whom, when she hears the name, will comment what a lovely person she is.
Sean Kinlin
The tag says, "You're gonna look great - I guarantee."
Mad Marie
It's like trying to be Anh at the Hannelore store....
Mad Marie
is that because it's called TGI Friday's and only 14% of the patrons that come in say grace before they eat there?
Not that Patrick Foltz
Well there's the tobacco barn, and over there's the horse barn. Back behind the house there's the dress barn, we rent that out for weddin's and things, 'sreal fancy. Ya wanna take a look?

You were trying to drink punch at the soup store comment thread?

Anh doesn't seem the type to be ashamed of how quickly she can be gotten out of her dress.

Dress Barn must be either A. the sort of rural structure that's used for more formal occasions, or B. the place where the dressage horses live.

panel 1 hanners lacks white sclera
The World Famous Chocomerican
She's probably nice enough when she's not getting c-blocked
Joshua Brumley
Well, she has become more grounded and worldly. A stranger acting "catty" and making assumptions are probably old hat by now. :)
The World Famous Chocomerican
Yeah, Hanners is going to make an unintentional flex about not getting a lot of designer options in her space station and Anh,s head will spin.
Not that Patrick Foltz
The restaurant Friday's is somehow only correct 2% of the time...
Logan Nix
came here to make a soup store joke, was beaten to the punch several times over 😂
Damian
Probably a name Jeph made up to sound like a designer. It is funny to think that she would definitely know who Hanners is though, and probably beg to put a dress on her just to say she did.
Alacrity Fitzhugh
Hannelore would be the best nemesis. She gots teh brains.
Bill Silvia
So far, we're at 7 Soup Store references and zero references to the dress episode of Firefly.
Czarzhan
She does NOT want to try to intimidate Hanners with her wealth. One, it won't work, and Two, if she finds out Hanners's net worth that's going to be a humbling experience.
Not that Patrick Foltz
Because noone truly can, unless they are like, truly evil.

Hannelore. You are the very best. 🤣 My son's nickname from me is Soup. Super Dude to Super Noodle to Soup Noodle to Soup. He's 14 now and those were at 3-4 year intervals since birf.

so far i cant understand why anyone is friends with this person.

Why are you buying dresses at the SOUP STORE
ValdVin
Is Evangeline Dubonnet a couture name or is Jeph just toying with us?
pseudoclever
This is the way you handle problematic arrogant people IRL tho.
Mad Marie
The store Tuesday Morning is only couture about 7% of the time.
Creeperkry
Hannelore as anyone's nemesis is amusing to me.
Alex Mullenix
Most people don't show their best side when put in competition, even if the competition was only in their own head. I have a feeling Hannelore might pure enofhbt to disarm her.
Devin Gates
Alternatively, she knows exactly what's going on and her dress comes from a store where the 1%ers are barred for not being rich enough
Wynn Donivan
Or clothes at the soup store
Daryl Sawyer
Better than buying pants at the Soup Store.
Bridgette Ryan
Just a lot of disappointed Amish customers.

It's like bringing pants to a dress fight.

Anh can mean "older brother" or "male friend" or "English" in Vietnamese, among other things

WHY ARE YOU BUYING CLOTHES AT THE SOUP STORE?!

Sarcasm immunity through neurodivergence ho!

Could you pay them to dress your barn though?

Neither does Pottery Barn, for some reason. So odd.

Your bottom tagline is a thing, but there was literally a store called dress Barn. They didn't sell barns
