--- Quote from: Tova on 14 Mar 2018, 18:36 ---I am equally sure, Jakk Frost, that displaying common courtesy to officers of the law will not lead to "stop and frisk" laws. Telling someone your name is not a capitulation of your rights, and if you think it is, you must be a lot of fun at parties. Freedom to withhold your name is also freedom to give it if you so choose.

If you have genuine cause to believe that handing over your name will disadvantage you or injure you in some way, then of course you should stand up for your rights.

Unfortunately it's not a simple matter. Some cops really are just trying to help and protect folks, and some are there solely to get a power trip. And that's only part of it from what I understand. I'm sure some other forumite can articulate the issue in a nuanced manner and in greater depth.

Please do elaborate on how giving attitude to a cop on a power trip will produce a good outcome. I'm genuinely all ears.

BenRG:
I just want to go on the record that this is my favourite Brun-featuring strip to date. It reminds us of all the good things about her - Her work ethic, her unflappable approach to reality and her amazing organisational ability that lets her stretch a single sentence out over 10 or more minutes with it still being comprehensible.

I really love Clinton's reaction to it all. He's just sitting back and watching the show in a way that mixes puzzlement and amazement. Whether or not he is attracted to Brun, he surely can't help but be interested in watching her go!

--- End quote ---

No, if you look at Clinton's glass, he has had a refill between Brun walking by with her harpoon and her dragging a passed-out O'Malley to the door, so several minutes have passed. I'm thinking that, after panel 5 we had something like this happen in another part of the bar: "Good evening, patron. We have noticed that you have enjoyed six expensive cocktails without settling the tab. The manager has send me and my harpoon over to encourage you to settle up before you order another round."

Zebediah:
Shouldn’t Elliot, as the security guy, be the one handling O’Malley?

Or maybe he’s busy dealing with the half-dozen other drunk robots in the place...

SpanielBear:
It's a shame Clinton didn't try to talk to the tall handsome stranger who was sitting next to him. I bet that would have been a fascinating discussion!  :lol:

ckridge:
This is a very good strip. It reveals Brun's character without exposition, entirely by showing her in action, and it is funny. Also, Jeph has a knack for drawing unconventionally pretty women pretty. This educates one's eye for when one meets them out in the world and thereby makes the whole world more beautiful.

I think that Brun mostly shows them the harpoon and explains its use, like a torturer showing a heretic the instruments. It is a fair warning, and when Elliot sees the harpoon going by he knows there is a developing situation. It's always good if the belligerent drunk sees the bouncer as someone who might save him from this crazy bar back.
