WCDT Strips 3491 to 3495 (29 May to 2 June 2017)
BenRG:
I'm wondering if the next seven or so strips will be just Clinton and Brun struggling to get onto the same wavelength on various matters. There may even be a running gag about Brun not understanding the various indirect ways Clinton asks her out on a date. I've thought for a while that Jeph intends to use the character of Brun to poke fun at the legacy social conventions of dating, personal interaction and relationships that are so old and ingrained that no-one is even entirely sure anymore where they came from and for what reason.
If I had to make a guess, I would take an early indicator that I'm right about the direction Jeph is taking this would be Brun asking Clinton if Claire is still trying to manage his romantic life.

One of the admins at the forum where I "advise" is autistic. She has exactly the attitude you are disliking there. She was one of the originators of the forum thirteen years ago, so my belief that she is not suitable to have any kind of mod powers cuts no ice.
(click to show/hide)Sadly, two days ago she used it to justify permanently banning the forum's fourth most prolific poster, whose guts (to put it directly) she hates. I am not the only person who is really, really furious. (click to show/hide)Oh, and she did this by explicitly dumping all the procedures set up to ensure fairness in moderation by another mod, training to be a lawyer, who died last month and so can no longer object.

There's a fair few other words about whose current meaning is considerably at odds with their derivation.

S'okay, he took no pride in it.

That's not a dog joke either. I'm a cheetah.
