WCDT strips 3861-3865 (29th October to 2nd November 2018)
BenRG:
I have to say that I'm genuinely 'meh' about today's strip. It's one of those jokes that probably was hilarious in Jeph's head when he wrote it but it just doesn't translate very well into the comics medium. It feels a bit like Jeph is trying to pad out this storyline because he doesn't want to get too quickly to either the Claire Deprogramming Session (when she's finally convinced to relax occasionally instead of being permanently afraid of her chances) or the moment when Claire triggers something happening in the Clinton/Brun/Elliott triangle.
Really, the only thing that raised a smile was when I thought to myself that maybe Elliott should put less sugar and caffeine in that type of loaf but even that was a 'shrug and grunt' quip.
So, on to tomorrow.

It was filler. All this is filler, at a guess.
You try to get a strip up a day and that's a goddamn miracle, but sometimes you want to stall for time while you work out your next move. This definitely feels like "Meeting the deadline" writing.
I mean, if it's not, genuine apologies to Jeph but... sometimes you need to have a few weeks like this after long major-arcs not for the sake of pacing, but for the sake of planning.

Not sure if you're joking, but "And this is to go even further beyond" is a quote from the english dub of Dragon Ball Z. BNHA/MHA is "Go beyond! Plus Ultra!"
To everyone who feels Claire is being 'entitled'. Monday: Relatively civil conversation with Clinton, Tuesday: Civil Conversation with Brun, Wednesday: Catty comment about Brun and Clinton being distracting, today: Brun and Clinton are yelling in a public space.
