Based on various comments Brun has made in the past, I've been under the impression that she doesn't really have much/any personal experience with intimate relationships.

So I think Brun is mostly likely basing her attempt to work out if she finds Clinton attractive on what she has interpreted from Renee's approach to things. Since Renee has a lot of casual flings, I can easily see Brun observing that and thinking that's what it means to be attracted to someone.

See also Brun generalising from Renee's behaviour previously in the comic here: https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4237

Perhaps we'll get a future comic where Brun tells Renee about this conversation with Clinton and Renee tries to explain that attraction isn't just wanting to have sex with someone. It can be, but attraction also shows itself in other ways too.

Editted to add:

Personally, I've been getting bit of an ace-spectrum vibe from Brun for quite a while now. Maybe I'm projecting but this latest comic certainly doesn't dispel my earlier impression.

BenRG:
I think that this was a very obvious outcome in one variation or another. It makes sense that Brun just simply isn't wired up to think of Elliot or Clinton in this way.

In any case, some might recall that, about 6 months ago, Jeph publicaly announced on Twitter that he'd arbitrarily decided to add a new queer couple to QC on the grounds that someone had emailed him out of the blue to complain about the number of queer couples in the strip. Elliot and Clinton were then slightly rewritten to make this happen and Millie was turned into a romantic foil for Brun to get her out of the way. It's his strip, I guess.

I mean, it's been my impression that Brun is aromantic and possibly asexual ever since Renee had to walk her through the possibility that her morning in the park with Millifeulle could have been interpreted as a date (something that obviously surprised her).

I've said before that I think that Brun has no real idea of what a healthy romantic/intimate relationship is like due to a lack of good examples.

This is very interesting - I don't use Twitter so I missed that. I don't suppose you have a link? I'm curious about exactly what Jeph said.

I think you're mixing up how Renee responded to Brun telling her about the walk with Faye and Bubbles talking to Millefeuille about it. As I recall it, Renee just said "hmmm" or something like that and I'm pretty sure Brun still doesn't know that that walk might have been interpreted as a date.

snubnose:
After todays comic I have very serious doubts Brun is even able to ever have a relationship. If the criterion to decide if you want a relationship with somebody is thinking if you like the idea of having sex with them then, well, thats really not how you decide to have a relationship.

Heck I imagine thats not even how some people decide if they want a one night stand. I know nobody like that and thus cant ask them, but from what I understand about such people, they too decide based on the question if they like that person, or not.

I mean if you're not attracted to a person at all, sure, thats certainly not going to work out. But if you're attracte to a person and cannot stand them, well then that wont work out either.

And if you're not that attracted to them but get to know and like them, well they usually get more attractive to you. Theres definitely the case of two people meeting who cant stand each other at first and in the end they start a relationship.

Todays comic really reminds me of a hilarious posting of an asexual on the deviantart forum - deviantart is full autists and also quite a lot of asexuals - in which they described how they wrote a romance story as a teenager. He or she (I dont know that persons gender) really wrote their loverpair would stay together because they liked how their partners primary sexual organ looked like. ROTFL.



About that poll. I only know of Halloween from Hollywood movies, specifically tv shows. Until now I didnt even knew such a thing as Halloween music existed. Those tv shows havent mentioned that.

I only had children at my doorstep wanting candy once. And that was muslim children, and they knew so little about Halloween that they didnt wear costumes. And they have already been very annoyed state because everybody else didnt have candy for them either.

Oh, and about that. Hollywood also keeps telling everybody we Germans have the Oktoberfest. WE DONT.

Bavaria is that part of Germany thats north of Austria, and has Munich in its middle. THEY have the Oktoberfest. Since I'm not from Bavaria, I know as much about the Oktoberfest as about Halloween. And quite frankly it sounds very dull.

Gyrre:
So this poll-related electroswing mix was in my suggested videos. Looks like there's a bit of a tour through the decades.
The only one I haven't liked so far was what was done with Thriller. Admittedly, there's a few songs in here that don't fit the theme.
