Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT Strips 3296 to 3300 (29 August - 02 September 2016)

Yeah, phone calls make me anxious too. Indeed, verbal communication and face-to-face interaction make me anxious but that's because I'm something of an introvert. Texting has... well, it depersonalises communication somewhat. It somewhat reduces the social anxiety of it and let's you focus on information transmission.
What's cute about this strip is the way Brun and Clinton turn out to have similar hang-ups. I think that Renee would feel a lot less worried about Brun if she knew just how socially awkward Clinton is!
Panel 1 makes me wonder that Brun is going to feel obliged to at least look into taking up curling because she owns a curling jacket. Either that or she'll throw away the jacket because she doesn't want to take up curling!

I don't think so. There may be some strip-to-strip variations but you can shrug that off as just being how Jeph chose to draw her hair on that day.
--- Quote from: Ever.Green434 on 29 Aug 2016, 18:56 ---This has been mentioned in a few other places, but I wonder what you guys think; is Jeph refocusing the comic on Clinton and Brun and Faye? Do you think it's a good idea? No 'this is how it would work', or long debates. But I wonder what other's think.

I've thought that Jeph has been trying to refocus the strip for a while (in retrospect, he has been since as far back as when he introduced Bubbles). Is it a good idea? Well, nothing in art can stay static and endure. You have to be continually attempt to change and move forwards. In a narrative sense, I think that he decided that he just doesn't have much to say about Marten or Dora anymore so he's moved on to tell different stories. This always happens with long-running titles.
Y:
So did she recover the phone number that was destroyed in the shower or did they just exchange numbers?
oeoek:
Another phone-simularity!
As for the shift of focus in Questionable content; I like it a lot. Several interesting storylines are lurking in the wings (Faye-Miss Bubbles and Brun-Clinton of course, but there is also the -granted not very dramatic but very entertaining- growing -so sorry for the pun- friendship between Momo and Sam, May's development, Miss Augustus' cougaring and of course Veronica and Jim's new household).

I presume they just did it - it would be a boring panel to include.
Brun pokes her phone with her forefinger, like I do. But I thought that the serious texters of the modern generation use their thumbs like my grandchildren do. How do you text?
explicit:
I just had to get used to these new phones. I've had the same phone for 7 years and it had a keyboard. I miss my keyboard.
