--- 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.

Any change is bound to please some and displease others.
In this case, I think a different focus was necessary to avoid a rut of "good thing happens to Marten" followed by "bad thing happens to Marten" ad infinitum.
It's also good, I think, for Jeph to have a few ongoing stories up his sleeve to choose from when inspiration strikes.

It's also a good way of using story ideas on a similar, but less defined character to avoid conflicts with previously established history.

I think it's the echoing thing some autists do.

I know you didn't mean anything by it, but as an autistic person, I find "autist" kind of an insensitive term.

Given Brun's traits, it's not out of the question for her to have memorized Clinton's # back at the motel before the note melted. But it's just as likely # sharing happened between panels 2 and 3.
The typography of the text message exchange is really good. Sans serif font, strict kerning and lines, orthagonal boxes, and overlaid color coded arrows. Very contrast with regular speech balloons. Does a real good job of showing SMS in comic form. It's harder to see in mobile web, didn't appreciate it until I saw it on the big screen.

Yeah, it's weird to be reduced to a diagnosis. It's an aspect of a person, but not the entire person, so I think the adjective "autistic" is preferrable over the substantive "autist". "An autistic person" instead of "an autist".

British English dictionaries do not even recognise the word "Autist".
