WCDT Strips 3221 to 3225 (16 - 20 May 2016)
Method of Madness:
"funny"
Hmm.
dexeron:
I'm changing my vote to "Clinton and Eyebrow Lady end up in a whirlwind romance culminating in a massive blow-out wedding that makes Marten's dad's look like a monastery repainting. We never learn her name. Ever. And neither does Clin-ton."
Is it cold in here?:
She might also be from a culture that ingrains self-control and understatement.
Case:
--- Quote from: BenRG on 15 May 2016, 23:04 ---I'm more sure than ever that this new character has some kind of social or behavioural disorder. Most people would be hysterical in her situation but she remains deliberate, calm and monotone. It really seems that she can't properly process emotions and non-verbal communication. Because she doesn't 'get' it, she can't do it herself.
I'm left with two possible conclusions:
* She is somewhere on the autistic spectrum;
* Her life to date has been so shitty that she just has had all the pain and rage burned out of her by the hopelessness.The second option wouldn't explain her failure to get that Clinton wasn't a troublemaker, so, yeah, I'm thinking that this is autism of some kind.

Huh. I had her pegged for a recent immigrant from Central/Eastern Europe. The seeming disregard for fashion/grooming standards and 'customer service' and the short sentences would fit, as well as the (apparent) stoicism.
In my experience, people that just had their Bar burned down over their heads tend to be shellshocked, with the occasional short bout of sobbing or two.
Not much emotion on display, overall.
(Yes, that actually happened - We came to play a gig in a little Bar in Cologne, only to find it ... 'well done'.)

That's how we're viewed by the outside world...? OK then. That's kinda sad :meh:
