I love Brun! :-D
Looking forward to Brun & Renee being goofs week. Did Brun research how to be a good roommate I wonder? (Love that - it's totally the sort of thing I would do).
And I also love how Renee responds here - she catches herself part way through and switches tack to give Brun a very clear/direct response instead of what she was originally going to say. As someone who quite often struggles with understanding when to taking things literally (or not), I really appreciate seeing Renee do this for her friend's sake.

This comment bothers me because it implies that having ethnic/fluffy/natural hair is a sign of being unkept or lacking access to a salon. It’s pretty rude.

i am sorry you are bothered. i'd like to think it is obvious that was not the intended message. notStanley read it correctly (see above). i suppose i could have written "Brun has covid hair today" but it did not occur to me.
coincidentally, i'm a bit bothered that you assumed that my was implication and that it was rude. i would appreciate a good faith reading of what is posted here (by everyone, not just me). the nature of the interaction in these WCDT threads is overwhelmingly one of light-hearted humor so i think that the context highlights the intention.
that said, that no names have been called speaks to the maturity and civility of this forum. congrats to all of us.
I'm pretty sure with how time passes in the comic it's still like 2007 over there so I find that unlikely, she probably still has futile hope about Obama and shit

It's an alternate universe, though. Who knows what year it is there?
Does it count if my first association was the music video for the Jonas Brothers cover of it that played on Disney Channel back in, like, 2006?I'm pretty sure with how time passes in the comic it's still like 2007 over there so I find that unlikely, she probably still has futile hope about Obama and shit

Well, not much has changed, but I'm told they live underwater now.
Perhaps your great-great-great granddaughter could help us out with a calendar?

I included Sam on my superhero team because the supervillain is, of course, Chaos Loaf. Only the demon's creator can bring it to justice.

"Comedy is tragedy plus time"
Looks like Brun's hair might be long enough for a ponytail. I'd bet that would look silly though (there's no way to control this much floof).
It occurs to me that the secret of Brun's success is that she followed the instructions precisely. So precisely that you'd think that she wrote them herself. Of course, in Brun's mind, what else are you supposed to do? If nothing else, she has skills that, should the owner of The Horrible Revelation need a new short order chef, he's got one!
I just love panel 2. Brun is so happy that Renee liked her food! That level of success means the world to her!
Huh... More indication that Brun may be ace and possibly also aro. Yes, Millie is a friend and she enjoyed their 'lunch date', but she feels no particular urgency to contact her. I wonder if Jeph is planning to take this somewhere?
This recipe allows substituting distance for time, but a finer palate would disagree."Comedy is tragedy plus time"As I understand it, it takes approximately 21 years for that.

Out in the park, where she can meet Rupert again.
Why is Brun doing the dishes? Back when I was living in Happy Valley, our rule was always "Them as don't cook, cleans up!"Wouldnt that mean people fight over who gets to cook ?
Here's a prediction: [...]I dont see it. Jeph's stories are usually more realistic than that. Even the Sven-Faye relationship had a dedicated pre- and postdevelopment. She was drunk, they had "the talk" before, Sven had been quite nice for some time to her, Sven used "THE LOOK" on her.

Well I dont know how others see that, but personally I'd much rather cook than clean up.

Honestly, middle school was worse.
Granted, most of the shitness in high school ended in sophmore year after a failed attempt to shove me in a locker. The two guys couldn't get it closed thanks to my broad shoulders. And they both ran off pretty damn quick when I pushed the locker open.
EDIT: Nearly all the bullying I received throughout middle and high school (grades 6 through 12) was verbal. Apart from the locker incident, there were three shoving matches that almost got me expelled from middle school, and paper footballs aimed at my head by cowards.
some Dans, meanwhile, just double-down and get worse.
EDIT: also, there's no guarantee that his insides are as nice as his outside. Could be that the class just has two Dans who are "cool" now.
So let me just say that, in my experience, high school sucks. If I had to do it all over again, I'd have started advanced placement classes in preschool so I could go from eighth grade straight to college. However, given the unalterable fact that high school sucks, I'd like to add that if you're lucky enough to have a good friend and a family that cares, it doesn't have to suck quite as much. Otherwise, my advice is: stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience prove you wrong; remember, when the emperor looks naked, the emperor is naked; the truth and a lie are not 'sort of the same thing'; and there is no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza. Thank you."
Next comic, he just goes 'Eh, whatever.'
That reminds me of the time when I tried to get pizza out of the oven at the end of a long, trying day, and the oven door imploded. No more oven, no more pizza, and no take out at that time.

Do not understand the prohibitions against a physical response to a psychological attack. It does not matter what form of attack, there are no rules in self-defense. Rules are for a sporting event, not survival.
Comic!Brief tangent:
I love Renee's eyebrows in this comic, they're very expressive. Hopefully Renee manages to keep her feet out of her mouth during the coffee date (can we call it a date?).
Public schools and bullying :-P
Grade school, beatings and some name calling :cry:
Middle school, psychological warfare is in its infancy and physical interactions simmer down to intimidation with the occasional shoving :-\
High school, psychological and social warfare become the modes operand and is refined during this period. :? Physical violence was almost nonexistent due to proximity to a law enforcement hub. :police:
Conclusion: Public schools suck
And school faculty have had to deal with generation after generation of terrible parents who think their hellspawn are perfect little angels.
I was bullied, teased and an outcast in Catholic school as much as in public school.
I love Renee's eyebrows in this comic, they're very expressive. Hopefully Renee manages to keep her feet out of her mouth during the coffee date (can we call it a date?).Yeah, me too. We don't need to see Renee's actual sms conversation with Dan because Jeph's done such a great job of telling the story through Renee's facial expressions. It's a great shift from (presumably) "apologizing for her earlier foot in mouth moment and offering to buy him a coffee to make up for it" through to "pleasant surprise that he's happy to meet her for coffee" and then back to "feeling insecure about her likely inability to keep her foot out of her mouth tomorrow"
So, anyone want to predict how Renee and Dan's little catch-up coffee morning will go? I'm expecting chaotic shenanigans including Elliot being a well-meaning but ultimately unwelcome 'big brother', Clinton misunderstanding and getting jealous of an entirely-illusiory Elliot/Renee romantic relationship and Renee continually blundering with her tongue and ending up virtually in tears because she thinks she's ruined the whole thing. This will lead to either:I honestly don't think that it can go any way except well. That first text was pretty much rock bottom. If he's still down for coffee, he must be willing to take a lot of abuse.What are your predictions and ideas?
- Dan deciding he's best off not being involved in this slow-motion train wreck of a social circle OR
- "You know, Renee, I always liked your dry, sarcastic ways! I look forward to finding out a bit about the lady underneath the spikes!"

Catholic school in the '90s was pretty much my idea of purgatory at best. From what friends of mine who went to the local public high school (and either dropped-out or went on to some form of Independent Study) told me, that would have been hell.
Teens are monsters.:-(

Is there an implied "most?"
Definitely. I would agree that most teens are horrible. But it's an unfair generalization to say we all are. I do my best not to be like that, and I have plenty of kind friends who aren't like that.Teens are monsters.:-(
Is there an implied "most?"
Some are merely impulsive, hormonal idiots.
Thankfully, aside from the mandatory religion classes, actual instruction was focused in facts. The one I went to was also big in to community work, and surprisingly, there was a rainbow flag up in one Spanish teacher's classroom. It still sucked, though. Teens are monsters.I spent my freshman year of college at SNU. Chapel was not only mandatory, but if you missed more than 3, you actually got put on academic probation. Did I mention being 10+ minutes late w/o a note from a faculty member counted as being absent?
As far as single-sex schools go, I have seen some studies that show them as being beneficial for girls.

It's a general rule of mine that, because most persons are terrible, I should seek out only the ones that aren't (or are the least) terrible. I've met only one person of the thousands I've ever met that maybe isn't terrible.Definitely. I would agree that most teens are horrible. But it's an unfair generalization to say we all are.

Between years spent working in the service industry, and even longer following politics, it's safe to say that by now I'm a misanthrope with a very low view of humanity in general.
