I do get the feeling that Renee is a person who wants to be the centre of attention, that she wants actual recognition for what she does. So its not a case of Renee being jealous of Brun being crushed on by Elliott, but rather that the attention isn't on her.
I guess that this is going to turn into Renee's main character flaw.

I rather think that there is a technical problem with the layout or the whole site. Or it´s under construction.
The whole think looks kinda incomplete and wrong. I don´t have any knowledge in html or any of that stuff. But this doesn´t look like a finished webpage. I suppose we´ll see a change back to the original design ot to something completely new soon.

Elliot had misinterpreted Renee's words as her wanting a comforting head pat.
I'm sure he would not have offered if he'd known it was unwanted. Notice, he didn't give Brun a pat on the head, even though he wanted to.
The rest of this post is speculative, as I don't have any special insight into what others are thinking.
--- Quote from: BenRG on 18 Aug 2016, 03:30 ---To me, the big joke in today's comic is that Elliott is so desperate to deny that he's attracted to Brun in any way that he's proposing to engage in an entirely inappropriately intimate behaviour with Renee so as to try to prove to himself that what he wants to do with Brun is nothing indicative of attraction. I can't exactly blame her for being freaked out by this.

I see the crux of the entire difference between the my interpretation and the one above as whether you thought Elliot was "crushing" on Brun when reading the previous strip. Interestingly, no-one has actually discussed this. Half the forumites have simply posted under the assumption that is true, the other half under the assumption that it is not. I'm not actually 100% convinced either way, but I initially read the latest strip assuming that he wasn't. I hadn't seen what Renee and some forumites apparently saw.
Obviously, you would read Elliot's reaction to Renee's words differently, depending on which position you've taken.

See now, I thought that Renee was shipping the pair so hard that she saw a crush that really wasn't there.
I think that the crux of this difference in interpretation is perhaps based on whether you strongly believe Renee is self-centred or selfish. It's easy to imagine that she is reacting jealously if you think so, and hard to imagine that she is shipping a relationship between Brun and someone else, which would imply that she is looking beyond her own needs and her own relationship with Brun. Maybe that's even why Elliot reacted the way he did. Again, two different interpretations that spring naturally from the assumptions you carry into the strip.

(click to show/hide)Not actually Mark Twain. So very meta. :)

I just had a flash of inspiration—what if Renee's recent spotlight has been setup for Angus's reintroduction? This may just be wishful thinking on my part, but i believe there's a chance.

To what end though?
