Yes he does, but you don’t want to see them. A Polishman’s eyes strike fear into the hearts of men. Ever seen A Streetcar Named Desire? It’s kinda like that.
I think Eve’s standing a little bit behind Hannah, which accentuates the height difference. But yeah, Hannah doesn’t spend many panels standing straight up.
If you have beard and meet someone with beard, you obviously have a lot to talk about and you almost instantaneously become bff's. Get it right next time. =)
That is a regular beginner’s mistake. Same goes for mustaches. If you’re wearing one and you see another fellow with an epic, you don’t get all squealy, you both just tip each other a respectful “Gunsmoke”-type nod.

It’s like when I used to drive a VW Bus. Everytime you see another bus driver you throw the peace sign. I assume Beard wearers have their own gesture. Maybe some sort of beard-stroking motion?
Aw, I'm so happy OP is updating regularly again. I'm going through a rough patch in my life right now and seeing Ning, Hanna, and Marek every few days is like having some old friends help me through it.
So many changes, must focus.
Wolfman Will. Sorry Will, Marek’s aquiline nose looks way better with winterbeard
Tinier, cuter Eve. Looks like someone washed her in hot water
Puget Sean returns. And he has beer! Squee!
'This place has the thing where the air is cool' lol the horrors of living without a/c for too long, and I think Marek is maybe weirded out cuz Will is trying to look like him
I think Marek was just confused because it's just a beard, something that Marek just grows without thinking about it, like wearing socks. And then Will's trying to turn it into some sort of brotherhood insignia or something.

Shut up, it's been a long time since I've done C++.

I don't think I ever realised how much smaller Eve is than Hanna!

Explains why Marek is speechless.

I wish I could grow a beard… *Sniff*
(Glad to have you back, Mer!)

Beard Stroking Motion would be a good band name.

See my beard.
Ain't it weird?
Don't be skeered,
It's just a beard.

Hrm
Ah, the brotherhood of the beard.
I’ve had a friend do this before.
Lola
So glad to have this back in my life at last!! I missed these guys

God dammit, that last panel is gold too! What are you doing to me Meredith!

Awkward!

at first glance : WTF MAREK GREW EYES… oh thats Wil

I've never found an apartment in Portland with the air cooler thingy. It's probably the Man trying to keep me down, though.
Mary R.
Kindred beard spirit brothermates.
Damien Walder
I can attest to the moustache thing. Beard? Well, it’s Canada – so, not so much. Until we discovered irony.
DAMN YOU, IRONY!!!
Rosscott
Beards turn laziness into awesomeness. Everyone knows that.
Leith
He wuz looking for a reaction… from Marek?
Scooter
Wow I have lived this… like… twice.

Hanna conquered that chair immediately.

I commented waaay back that a parka-wearing Will looked like a rugged Scott Pilgrim.
And now, in panel 4, I see a bearded Scott Pilgrim.
S'weird, man.

WILL MUST SHAVE THAT RIGHT NOW.
THE BEARD OF AWESOME IS MAREK'S.
