WCDT Strips 3326-3330 (10th to 14th October 2016)

BenRG:
Just something that occurred to me last week: It was in the 1300s and 1400s strips (including the drink-sledding) when Northampton was last under a blanket of snow. Now, in strip 3325, the snow has returned. So, in the past 1900 or so strips of the past full in-universe year, what was the most significant to you (in either story terms, character terms or just personal enjoyment)?

As for me? I've got to say that it has been the increasing focus on AIs and their unique society and viewpoints (especially shown through May, Momo and Bubbles). However, I'd have to say that it was a near-run decision for me.

The second slot for me is The Space Station Arc, which was pretty much the highpoint of Hannelore's character arc where we see just how far she's come and just how much she has healed. The third is  is occupied by Claireten (a relationship that is plotted out as such a normal relationship in comedic story that it becomes a testament to inclusivity).

Onto the possible direction of this week's strip: I'm seeing an Elliot/Brun date in the near future, probably played for laughs about the whole mad social song-and-dance of human romantic interest. However, that's further along. I'm expecting more cute Elliot stuttering and stumbling and poor Brun just not getting it. Let's face it; can anyone blame her for being confused?

FWIW, I think it is likely that Renee will end up losing her temper and ordering them to go out with each other, if only to get it out of Elliot's system so he can function again!

Is it cold in here?:
One major story was The Pugnacious Peach confronting herself and moving forward.

Clubman8:
Brun is directly supportive of Elliot's job. This is always a good sign.

brasca:
Hopefully, there will be an opening at the Horrible Revelation, but if it's only part time then Brun will have to find a second job to get enough income to afford an apartment. 

BenRG:
So, on top of everything else, Elliot seems to be the context-specific equivalent of an UFC fighter? Or maybe even a gladiator? I'm wondering what insights he might have into the mindset of the robot fighters at the arena?

It seems strangely obvious in hindsight that bouncers and bar owners in the surreality of the QC universe would make a regulated sport out of bar brawls. It's clear that Brun knows all about it and is impressed that Elliot made the regionals! Someone needs to tell us where The Horrible Revelation placed that year! Maybe Brun will tell Elliot's boss that she wants to work there because she wants to be in a winning team in the future?

Meanwhile, poor Renee is just coming to terms with the fact that the universe is irreparably weird. I suspect that she's going to leave Elliot and Brun in peace in their strange parallel bar staff universe.
