We will probably be following the trail of Clinton and Claire at the start of the week, heading to the CoD to talk tattoos. We know that Brun is also wandering around town looking for work and doing things. It would not be terribly odd for her to run into the pair of them out walking or at the CoD. Queue up Claire making inappropriate comments and trying to play match maker between the two of them. Bonus points for Emily's reaction if it happens at the coffee shop. Double bonus points if Renee shows up part way though, with a flustered Clinton is arguing with Claire while Brun looks on impassively.
They could reinvent the milk bar.
Butts always ensue.That reminds me, where is Pintsize and what is he up to now?
Or maybe there's some sort of unknowable universal force (initials jj) forcing her back toward Clinton.
my favorite coffee place recently added a beer cooler full of 22-oz bombers of locally-crafted beer-ish goodness to add profit to their already late hours. I think it's a trend that Dora should take advantage of if the *Hampton licensing people are pretty chill
Even at places that serve alcohol, there *are* limits. At my local pub, one of the waitresses was fired for drinking *too much* on the job and showing up intoxicated.[1] In general, though, drinking at work there has gotten to the point where the owners have severely cracked-down on the amount that employees can drink on shift.
[1]A pity that she decided to stop contacting people she had worked with there… she still has my copy of Watchmen.
Actually serving mixed drinks would require a liquor license, which is very expensive. Even selling the liquor separately would probably not be worth it. Being a BYO (bring your own) establishment might not require a license, though.A motorcycle club across the street plays music horribly and loudly and it's BYOB but I'm almost certain they sell it under the table. The owner has connections in the city so they skirt the rules and it pisses me off. If BYOB requires a license I'll get them shut down.
edges and her breakageI know these words but not in this context.
Hairs can break?
It would seem he's doing cameos in other comics (http://www.samandfuzzy.com/2245) (middle of panel 4).Butts always ensue.That reminds me, where is Pintsize and what is he up to now?
Last we saw was him lamenting over his online dating posts.
What I mean is...hair bends. How can you tell when it's broken? I realize that sounds like a profoundly stupid question, but...I can't really fathom how a strand breaks.Hairs can break?
Yes? I mean... the strands aren't objects of infinite tensile strength...

I'm still really confused but I have a feeling this isn't the place to teach me about hair. Thanks for everyone's effort though.
Dunno how the law is where you are, but around here you have this choice; you can either work at a place that serves alcohol, or drink at a place that serves alcohol, but not both. (or at least, not during work hours)
If any employee at a place that serves alcohol EVER drinks on the job, they get fired immediately by anyone who wants to keep their license.
Can't blame Clinton for getting annoyed by all this. He's gradually learned not to be creepy and now he's being encouraged to do something that will undoubtedly get Renee's red flags waving.
Two things.
FFS Claire, stop manipulating and controlling your brother.
Secondly, the ear mod things look ridiculous in her.
I'm confused now too. You're a mammal. You should know about hair."You're a human, Jack. Can you build me a small intestine?"
:psyduck:
Nothing says your not a weird stalker type like running down the street afer the other person.
Still, I hope he catches up with her
And Renee doesn't Karate Chop him
I have it. I have a lot of it. Enough to not notice when some of it...breaks, I guess? That just seems like a weird word to use for hair.
In this case at least, Clinton can't get mad at Claire because he knows she's ultimately right. Sometimes you just have to make sure loose ends are tied off because, frankly, not doing so will torment you. Besides, I doubt that Brun will be that far away! His reaction in panel 2 proves that he desperately does want to talk to her again.Can't blame Clinton for getting annoyed by all this. He's gradually learned not to be creepy and now he's being encouraged to do something that will undoubtedly get Renee's red flags waving.
I'm pretty sure that this is the point. I'm starting to expect a devastating dry Brun exposition where she explains to Renee that she's actually doing all the things that she's accusing Clinton of doing.
If one of the pieces had disappeared without me noticing, and the other piece was hidden among many other identical tiny things...how would I notice?I have it. I have a lot of it. Enough to not notice when some of it...breaks, I guess? That just seems like a weird word to use for hair.
If something important to you is now unintentionally in two pieces, what word would you use?

At this point, it's sitcom disease.Two things.You just had a character arc about this! Literally this!

I take it that you've never had long hair.
This will bring up one of the most interesting points in dating.
The difference between Romantic and Creepy is 99.9% in how the other person feels about you.
Think about it.
Clinton detaches his hand and sets it off in hunting mode (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1911). He runs down the street behind it, screaming at his 'escaped' hand....

1. The only business name shown is "Sexytowne." Adult accessories? Soft core paperbacks? Swimwear?
Thoughts on today's comic:

Wouldn't get too discouraged Clinton. It's more bad happenstance than rejection.

It's hardly creepy to try to catch up to someone you know to say hi.But someone who, as far as you know, has the ability to contact you but has chosen not to?

Is anyone here a Curling pundit?
2. Why are there no AI's on the street? There's apparently enough AI's in town to support the fighting rink, but the only ones we've ever seen out and about are in the cast.

or the universe giving him time to rein in the creepy. Despite what movies tell us, people do not like being stalked/followed/chased after.

A quick check has to me that Northampton has a population of just under 28,500. In today's comic we see 14 people besides Clinton on one very short section of street. 14 people would make up around 1/2000th of the population of the city and therefore no where near an accurate representation of the demographics of the city.
Likewise, the AI we have seen in the comic do not constitute an accurate representation of the AI demographics in Northampton. Bubbles, Punchbot and the other AI seem to be housed in specifically designed combat chassis. Meanwhile you have the likes of Corpsewitch who seem to embody the 50s/Robots film aesthetic with the stick thin arms. We have the Pintsize style AI, the small companion-types who presumably worked in a limited area such as an apartment.
Also, just because we don't see any AI in frame, doesn't mean they aren't there. We know that a great number of AnthroPCs reside in the Northampton area as evidenced by the party from when Marten and Faye moved into their current apartment, not to mention Winslow and Momo are and were a large tablet model and chibi model respectively. One can assume from that the a sizeable proportion of the AI population could still be running around in their original chassis, weaving in and out of the legs of the people on the streets.
Oh Clinton. Brun handled that pretty well, at least.
It's been a short enough time that a lack of contact so far hardly indicates a decision to never do so.It's hardly creepy to try to catch up to someone you know to say hi.But someone who, as far as you know, has the ability to contact you but has chosen not to?
I don't know. Brun has shown a tendency for similar question, ones where the other party is missing the entire context, so it might just be okay with her.
Still, it seems a little aggressive.

Can't blame him for being a little jumpy. So far everything is playing out like a rom-com and that's not how real life works.
It's actually better this way. Renee isn't around to interfere.
Lol Clinton needs to get his finger out of her face; his body language is pretty disproportionately aggressive.

I wonder, though, if Brun is even aware of it, let alone fazed by it.
That's the lovely thing about Brun; I really can't imagine her dissembling or shying away from anything in the name of 'being polite'. To her, 'being polite' is probably similar to 'lying' and I suspect that this is simply something that she is not psychologically able to do. The question is whether Clinton is personally psychologically able to deal with someone whose default mode of expression is so devastatingly direct!
Special guest stars in this comic that I can identify: Shelby the Dog, Probably Jeph (on the other end of the lead) and David M Willis standing on the opposite side of Brun from Clinton. The white-haired lady also looks like a portrait from life; anyone recognise her?

"Omelette du fromage"Like, maybe, four people are gonna get that reference but as Nobel Prize acceptance speeches go, that was probably the best.
