WCDT strips 3951-3955 (4th to 8th March 2019)
BenRG:
Someone on the Subreddit said that Brun's paternal wisdom in panels 3 and 4 sound like something Daria would say. That's when I realised that I have had Tracey Grandstaff's voice for Daria as my mental voice for Brun for some time. Given that I've never seen a full episode of Daria and am literally going off of a dozen or so meme clips, that's an impressive achievement on Ms Grandstaff's part!
I also note that Brun is wearing Daria's colours in her flashback, so I'm wondering if she was Jeph's inspiration for the character on some level.

I never watched Daria but I've seen the character a few times on Beavis and Butthead.

I'm another who couldn't be arsed to attend any high school reunions. Or any reunions at all.

--- Quote from: Tova on 03 Mar 2019, 23:45 ---As true as Jeph's line about bully-enablers rings, and as satisfying as the idea of uttering that one line that silences your bullies may feel, in my experience, that line would have either been laughed off or would have motivated a doubling of whatever bullying prompted it.

Brun's zinger reminds me of this from the character "Aaron Altman" in Broadcast News:
--- Quote ---(Aaron, the class valedictorian, is being beat up after delivering his commencement address, which was highly critical of his classmates)
Aaron: Go ahead Steven, take your last licks. But this will heal. What I知 going to say never will. It値l scar you forever. Ready? Here it is. You値l never make more than $19,000 a year. Ha ha ha!
Steven: Take him.
Aaron: Okay, how about this? You池e never gonna leave South Boston and I知 gonna see the whole damn world. You値l never know the pleasure of writing a priceless sentence. Or having an original thought. Think about it!
Steven: $19,000. Not bad!

Anyone else notice the incredibly early-2000s trousers in panel 2? :')
