WCDT Strips 3411 to 3415 (6th to 10th February 2017)
BenRG:
Friday's strip had the feeling to me of an arc ending. Jeph may choose to continue on with epilogue strips but I think that he has the chance to start something new. What could it be though?
I'd like to move the focus back to Martin and his friends and family, specifically how he is doing with a surrogate baby sister and a man who seems very likely to be Dad #3. There hasn't been much interaction between Jim and Martin and I think that having the two normal ones in the bunch having some time off to talk about normal stuff might actually be interesting and funny. Especially if it is the shared dread of what Veronica, Claire and Sam may be up to on their "Ladies' Day Out".

Voted 'Other' as I expect we'll check back in with Coffee of Doom. Plus, we can have Bubbles smelling tea, which I find oddly adorable.
WareWolf:
Even though I'd like to see more about the Squid and how they deal with CW, I too expect a new arc beginning Monday.
I hope it's not more Brun and Renee.
jheartney:
Brun, Faye and Bubbles are all now unemployed and in job hunt mode. Waiting for them to get discouraged and decide to start a robot repair clinic together.
I think we've seen the last of both CW and Creepybot, at least for a while. Creepybot will go on the back burner with the offhand reference to "Gary" as a piece of unexplained backstory, and CW may end up being mentioned but not shown when Punchbot comes into the new robot repair clinic and spills the beans about things going down the toilet at the skate park.
Morituri:
I like Brun. So far though, this most recent incarnation of Renee annoys me. I don't think I had any problems with her back when it was just post-breakup with Marten & Dora. She seemed cool when Marten met her and Padma and Elliot for the first time when he went to the Secret Bakery. But the Renee we've seen since Brun was introduced has been overbearing, vaguely hapless, banal, and seems like she's only bluffing that she even knows what's going on most of the time. She's so lost and seems bewildered so much that it's hard to even imagine her managing the secret bakery. For a while I didn't even think it was the same character, because the two incarnations don't seem to have the same personality. Art evolution aside, I don't think they even look much alike.
And she's utterly banal because there's nothing she's interested in. She'd be more credible or interesting or likeable as a character if, I don't know, maybe she was obsessing about the effect of different varieties of yeast on bread rolls and the possibility of making sourdough donuts or something, or had a youtube channel where she does movie reviews, or even something simple like being a big fan of roller derby. Something just to make her not so damn bland.
