"I am reminded at this point of a fellow I used to know whose name was Henry, only to give you an idea of what an individualist he was, he spelt it H-E-N-3-R-Y. The 3 was silent, you see."

Kugai:
Given that Bubbles is a Combat Model, I would have been very surprised had she not heard Dora's comment in Panel 2. It should be interesting to see if she follows up on that.
Welcome to Dora's World Faye Now you know what else she uses the Broom Closet for ;D
Buggman:
--- Quote from: BenRG on 30 Mar 2017, 08:23 ---This fits into a theory that I have that Clinton has an occasional habit of stretching out some sounds and syllable gaps when he's talking. Thus, 'Brun' becomes 'Broon' and 'Clinton' becomes 'Clinnn-tonnn' (yes, I think Emily was imitating his own way of saying his name).

Maybe he has a pronounced native Massachusetts accent?
Btw, help me out here: Why is mis-sexualizing a straight person (as Dora is clearly doing to Faye) NOT a horrible faux pas? Faye has never demonstrated the least interest in the ladies, and Dora knows it.
Kugai:
Its just Dora teasing Faye like she usually does, and Faye's comfortable enough and well used to Dora's humor to recognise it for what it is. As for Faye being attracted to Bubbles, I think Bubbles herself is going to confront Faye about that going by her reaction in Panel 1.
Whether or not it goes that way or just remains a friendship? Ultimately, that depends on which way Jeph jumps in this storyline. He has stated in the past that in QC World such relationships (Human/AI) are not unheard of 'Off Screen', but he also said he'd probably never write one as Canon.
That could change though depending on what Jeph decides to do now or in the future.
Tova:
This ongoing conversation about how people can choose the pronunciation of their name is all very well and good, but Clinton's effort is more or less how you pronounce Brunhilde, albeit lengthened.

Btunhilde is *not* pronounced the way Clibton pronounced it.
