On a separate note, Brun was kind of interesting once as a newly introduced quirky unknown quantity, but as we have gotten to know her.... she's honestly really not all that interesting as a character. She's just a convenient bag of Aspie behavioral tics that others play off of. I get that she has her challenges but if her response to Elliot's semi-infatuated, hovering behavior is utterly disinterested obliviousness where is that supposed to go as a story dynamic?

Some of us like having a character we can relate that's a human instead of another robot or alien character.

St.Clair:
I suspected it might be something like this.

You can't relate at all to the AI characters?

awkwardness:
...is it too early to nominate Arthur as the best new character in the strip in 2020? He's a great addition and a nice counter to Beeps and Rokko

BenRG:
Somehow Beepatrice having been the person running the show up to now explains so much. Most importantly, it explains how Arthur got to be employee of the months for eight or nine months in a row. I mean - Can you see her risking offending someone by making a choice? She probably just cut-and-pasted the previous email and hoped that no-one would notice!

Something tells me that taking over this organisation would be a bit of a nightmare. From what I've seen of Beeps so far, just about everything must have been left on 'hold' whilst she has a panic attack over it!


--- Quote from: DashaBlade on 25 Feb 2020, 18:40 ---Okay. I'm going to wild guess that the little guy is either named Arthur Nelson, or Nelson Arthur. Because with the newest comic, that's the same little guy, isn't it?
--- End quote ---

It is, to the point where I think we can safely retcon all mentions of 'Nelson' to mean Arthur. Jeph either decided to change the name or has totally forgotten that he ever named the character 'Nelson'. I wonder if any of the few contacts whom he listens to has mentioned this to him yet?

P.S.:
Something I forgot to mention: The thing is? I suspect that Beepatrice's role is as outlined in panel 3. She's going to be Roko's conscience. She's the one who is going to stop Roko's thundering sense of mission from steamrolling over everyone and everything and making enemies where they don't need to be.
