think the general ick factor comes from our general American prudishness combined with an emphasis on general body shaming, along with several other societal factors, resulting in never wanting to see our parents naked.
Most baby boomers can't wrap their heads around the concept of non-sexual nudity.

Conversely, my and my brothers don't even look related (unless our parents are with us). My older looks like a Brit, my younger brother looks like a Swede, and I look like I'm half German half [insert pretty much any light brown, red, or yellow ethnicity here].
Technoir:
My brother and I have a pretty good relationaship. However, our sister is a disciple of the culture of victimhood, which pisses us off to no end. We pretty much avoid her except at holiday family dinners.

Perhaps Clin-ton has a point, and even a good one, but it's somewhat obviated by he and Claire doing the exact opposite (she happy about "Go Mom!" and he squicking and squawking about it because it makes him uncomfortable) in the immediately preceding strip. Not slamming the writing; people are totally that way. Three fingers pointing back at you, and all that. Be interesting to see if Jeph expands on that as part of the Claire-Clinton dynamic.

Good point about him not wanting Claire to tag along while checking on Brun?
I think that's simply good judgement on his part:
a) Claire could use some practise 'letting people figure it out for themselves' (though I hasten to add that I think her 'meddlesomeness' seems to stem from a genuine impulse to help people)
b) From what he knows about Brun, it's safe to assume that the less unknown variables she's confronted with, the more comfortable she'll be. (Regardless of the cause of her ... pointed approach to social interaction)
And lastly, judging from the 'fire-arc', he actually can come into his own when left to his own devices (Emphasis on 'can' ...).
