Agreed. I've always thought of these characters as 5-10 years older than me. I think I just realized the gap might be more like 2-3 years.
Well, I'm creeped out.
Dammit, Hanna. You could've done drugs at home and saved yourself a trip…by having your trip at home. I don't really see why you had to inflict yourself on the museum patrons. Some of them took entire days off to be snobby in public.
Man why have I never commented before I have been reading this for so many years and I feel like a weird silent spectator almost but SHIT, this is glorious. Thanks lots <3
Is she not on Tumblr? I get this bullshit nostalgia every day. Not always a bad thing, though. I actually like some stuff more now than before. Like Hey Arnold? I used to think it was super boring as a kid, but now I watch it, and it's so weird and real. It's great.
okay I recognize all the characters except the kid with the tall green hair. Could someone tell me who he is? All I can think of are those burger king kids…
It's a troll.
Those plastic naked dolls with giant colored hair and butt ugly pug faces.
I don't know WHY the FUCK those things were so popular but they were EVERYWHERE even in places where they SHOULDN'T BE
Unbelievable. To go for a couple of years on this webcomic, and to be able to still pull next-level shit like this out of your hat… No wonder all the readers here are such enthusiasts.
Every time I read this comic, I think of it as some brilliant TV show (animated or not) where Bomb The Music Industry's "25" is the theme song.
And if this page were part of an episode, the background music would be all of the 90s show theme songs smushed together, with children's laughter pulsating softly underneath them all.
I get the feeling an earlier poster is right about that “painting” being a window. Specifically, I think Hanna jumped out a window, fell down a manhole, somehow landed softly, and is now skipping happily through the New York City sewer system.
impressively as an English man i think i recognise everyone except the chap after chucky and before homer, who is is he ?
P.S i love it, Keep up the good work

Oh god the little tear drop in her eye in the fourth panel. I feel like crying myself, well done :')

No words they should have sent a poet!

As one poet put it,
"Came up in the 90s like CD-ROM,
Came up in the 90s like sayin' 'the bomb'"
Hauge
OH GOD YES!
Zera
I… think I'm getting a contact high…
Mike
Oh my god.
For people who's never read this comic book until now….This is gonna be a head scratcher.
Vabolo
Oh no, now Hanna's gonna start posting images of "90's kids" stuff on all of her social networks!
pologirl11
The smile on my face from this comic will not go away. Thank you
pixmintro
Did NOT expect Jay Sherman in there
@dcrichmond
Oh, wow, thanks for actually saying that. All I could see in that one was Jughead for some reason, and I had a feeling that couldn't be right…
Fady
Why is Hannah not screaming horrifically at the Furby has she forgotten that Furbys are pretty much the devil with plastic eyes glued on them
Zero
Doug? Don't mind if I do!
Nana
Last panel: 90s people watching tv at 4am.
Also, I love her little animated run!
Beck
OMFG. NINETIES.
I love this comic.

Some of these actually hit home for me. How old have I gotten?!

Took me a second to recognize a Tamagotchi! I haven't seen one in many years =D
MerchManDan
THANK YOU!!!! I was wondering what the hell that thing is.
tracy
Is the green slime a Nickelodeon reference? It is, isn’t it? I love this page so much.
TRA
TR said:
OMigosh! Well, she found a way to connect with her happy things/memories from the 1990s.
I dunno if that is a totally GOOD thing!
Heh,heh.
Scott Bieser
Oh holy creezus on toast that is some trippy animation.
Jessi
The last panel will be a classic gif. I can feel it.
Erika Hammerschmidt
It is playing to the Nyancat music in my head now, and I can never erase it from my memory
stuu0003
Doug. Dear god…DOUG FUNNIE.
I guess this means Hanna's about my age.
Bryy
Is that…. Gak?
It's Gak, isn't it?
It's Gak.
You're a little *too* good at this writing-thing.
TRA
I think so. It maybe Gak.
It could also be the buckets of green slime that Nickelodeon's TV show, "Figure It Out", dumped on people's heads.
Jambe
Ahhhhhhh! The emotional ups and downs of this comic have been great, but this here, this is really just fantastic. So many feels.
Reo
Aww, bless. She's so young.
Or I'm so old.
Or both.
Jessi
OR NEITHER.
JennyB
And she speaks in fonts…! I've done that – in my weirdest fever dreams.

@linguoisdead
O Meredith and Lacey we are not worthy of this splendor
Dominic
So she's Running in the 90s?
NrgSpoon
Oh man. She's on a NOSTALGIA TRIP.
Andrew
That is good weed. THAT is GOOD WEED.

Man why have I never commented before I have been reading this for so many years and I feel like a weird silent spectator almost but SHIT, this is glorious. Thanks lots <3

Every time Hanna steps near Daria I think, "You're standing on my neck." She really is!
Professional Mole
Omygod it's too much! Deploy nostalgia! Deploy nostalgia! D:
@jlandiseigsti
This makes me want an animated OP show so badly.
DrBucephalus
If only there were also music.
Kyle H.
Cue up "Green Hill Zone" from Sonic the Hedgehog and stare at the last panel. Thank me later.
noooo_oo_oo
She's 'Running in the 90's', right? That's a song in itself.
crapman
Please tell me the ending of the story-arc is not: "Hey actually the weed did work and it was all a dream"…

@theschwasound
Hannah noooo, this way lies madness. Soon you'll be writing weekly Cracked articles analyzing old episodes of Duckman or something!
Leila
The Critic! Hooray!
RIPJAYSHERMAN
Oh man, The Critic was so ahead of it's time.
Alissa
Kids these days. They don't know. Kids these days.
Arkadi
Balls. Hanna is trippin' them.
SongBird
This is just too good. TOO GOOD!!!!
jasmine p
The dream of the 90s is alive in Hannah
asoc
All that NOSTALGIA!!
Getsius
With these (awesome) psychedelic animations, I keep thinking "How could a print version ever do this justice?" Advantage: webcomics.

This comic just made me have a baby, as a man.

Yessssss. Perfect theme song.

I can't stop watching Hanna run.
animated octopus pie 😯
Dagrabbit
Troll doll??
OH GOD RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK.
Leto
This. Is. Amazing.
It would probably be more so if I was high, but it seems like every time I check in that way there aren’t any new updates.
On another note I’m surprised to find that Hannah isn’t much older than me at the least.
GoSign
There is no way that this is weed. Did Hannah think there was merely weed in that brownie? There is definitely something else.
Tyne
Every time my friends and I begin to reminisce about being a child of the 90’s, this is pretty much what its like.
wykstrad
Nobody's done the full list yet? Okay, here goes:
Top Row:
Homer Simpson
Chuckie Finster (Rugrats)
Jay Sherman (The Critic)
Middle:
Doug Funnie (Doug)
Tamagotchi
Bottom:
Daria Morgendorffer (Daria)
Sonic the Hedgehog
Troll doll (this is Hannah; of course there are Troll dolls)
Oh, and a Furby in the 2nd panel.
I was 4-14 in the 90s. The only thing here I had to look up was Daria's last name. Maybe that's why there's no full list; we already know it.
cdotsq
Im 6/8
recognized Doug but didnt remember his name
and was completely lost with Daria
A lot of this carried on to the ougthies thats why must purported nineties kids claim this is their childhood
born 1995 here
totally too young to get the same nostalgia feels you guys are gettin
Natalia
All work and no play makes Hannah a dull girl.
Ken

Everything about this is okay.

I think these are my favorite pages in all of Octopus Pie. Madness, glorious madness.
