WCDT Strips 3296 to 3300 (29 August - 02 September 2016)

I relate to Brun's struggles. I started my post-college job hunt in like November of last year. Then in July, 2 weeks before my lease was up at my current apartment, I was still jobless and had been rejected from most places I had applied to work at. My biggest problem was that staying at my current job wasn't an option because it would be impossible for me to an afford an apartment in that town on a minimum-wage job without student aid.
Then out of the blue, I got a job offer to start a week from when they called me - complete with housing assistance, from a place I had applied for initially in January. I got told to re-apply in April because that's when they'd know how many people they need, and I interviewed with them (twice) in May. And it was one I had given up on because I hadn't heard back in so long.
It was kind of hard to leave my current job and move everything that fast. But compared to the alternative of how close I was to being homeless I'm definitely glad it worked out that way.

I didn't even know it was referencing another strip until I came here and saw people complaining about it. I just thought it was mentioning something that happened off camera, the details of which were unimportant to the humor of the joke. It was the reaction to the invisible incident that mattered.

This!
Plus, when I read print comics, which I pay for, the characters will refer to events in other titles. If I want to be a completist or am sufficiently intrigued, I can go buy the other issues.
I'm not sure why or how a free, long-running web comic would be any different. To the best of my knowledge, this is how Patreon works. For example, the PNWS podcast series have character crossovers and in universe documents that are only accessible to Patreon subscribers. That world-building isn't part of the creative labor they're willing to provide for free. Why should they?
Is it cold in here?:

May be just me projecting.

The robot fight club doesn't seem to have anyone in charge of public relations.

Brun do public relations? I'm not sure she's got the...temperament for that kind of job. She'd do better opening her own bar.

Brun doing public relations was the funniest job I could think of for her.
