WCDT Strips 3431-3435 (6th to 10th March 2017)
neurocase:
The "softening" of Brun's character by giving her more interesting idiosyncracies like a fondness for dog puns and clocks has made me far more tolerant of her character, but I still find the strips centralizing around her very uninteresting., and not particularly compelling. Am I the only one?
Maybe it's just because I can't stand Renee.
BenRG:
IMO, it is nothing to do with Brun (and Renee) and everything to do with the fact that I think Jeph has been struggling to find a direction in which to take the strip after Faye's post-Angus breakdown and its consequences. Only in the Faye & Bubbles arc has he found something that really works. More or less everything else has the feel of throwing plots and character quirks at the wall to see which one sticks.
Personally, I find Brun cute and interesting (especially in the unique way she sometimes sees the characters - seeing familiar things through new eyes is always an interesting experience). However, there is a risk in turning her into a 'joke' character or deciding not to progress her because of the easy humour inherent in her current living situation.
gopher:
Clocks, weak puns and Renee, oh dear. Still, tomorrow is another strip.
Zog:
I really like Brun but her puns embarrass me.
Akima:
What kind of incense do horses like to eat?
