WCDT Strips 3946-3950 (25th February - 1st March 2019)
TRenn:
Despite qualifying as a Trope Codifier for "Cloudcookoolander," it's rather sweet that Melon not only realizes that Roko is feeling a bit "off," she obviously wants to help. Somehow. Most likely, any improvement in Roko's mood will be totally by accident, but improvement is improvement.
DaiJB:
"Melon must never team up with Emily" :laugh:
And I still think Emily had something to do with Melon's programming... :-D
edit: Oh, by the way, I put "Other" in the poll again (force of habit):
Brun and Renee find two possible apartments -
The first is ideally situated, roomy, no noisy neighbours, reasonable rent...
And the other is over a clock store...
Now, which one will they end up with? :-D
Tova:
No Melon can walk into the same apartment twice
Because it's not the same apartment
And she's not the same Melon.
Like wow.
Anyway, call me boring, but I suspect that they will find an apartment and move into it.
There will be separate shenanigans.
Honestly, I don't see the supposedly obvious benefits of them being in the same building as other cast members. They could be in the same street or the same suburb, and I don't see how that would change any of the kinds of stories we've been seeing.
BenRG:
So, we're off on a new mini-arc! I'm not surprised as the art in the last panel of yesterday' strip does, in retrospect, feel a lot like a fade-out.
Today's comic has some classic Melon and her only tangential connection to observational reality as well as literal-mindedness turned up to eleven. It also has a very sweet example of how Melon is desperately trying to help Roko, as difficult as that is at the moment. She's even helping a little, given Roko's smile in panel 5.
The cause for hope? Roko 'doesn't know' how she feels at the moment. That's a lot better than just feeling bad, out of place and disconnected. The bad sign? She's over-focussing on that feeling of disconnection. I've said this before but I really think that she shouldn't be hiding away.
--- Quote from: Milayna on 25 Feb 2019, 19:33 ---Now I wonder if Brun's going to ask Clinton to fill her in on his "deep Clinton lore". Not even to do with relationships, it's just polite to reciprocate, otherwise it's just a one-sided conversation. (Though it would be interesting to see how she feels about his lore, too).

BRUN: "You held a lit firework? That sounds dumb."
CLINTON: "Can't argue with you there!"

It's just a literary device for Jeph - he doesn't have to write them to where the domestic action is going to be because they're already there. But for us, I agree, no discernible difference.
Edit - I hate it when I notice typos nine hours later.
