The othering and exoticising of other races is a recurring issue discussed in depth in another thread, frequently. I was simply trying to sidestep one small micro part of that.

It was a suggestion, not an order. I only do mod things when using mod voice. Not sure if that applies to anyone else. Might put it in my signature.

It wasn't the criticism that I was commenting on, it was the way it was carried out. Quoting someone, modifying the quote, and failing to highlight the fact is disrespectful, in my opinion. I've done it once in the past, and was rightly called out for it.

What I'm wondering is, what happened to the skirt she was wearing

At least, I thought it was a skirt.  There's nothing between that comic and this to tell any differently. 


Another interesting note: If you go through from her first appearance to now, those eyebrows have gotten progressively thicker on a per-comic basis. 

It's really quite impressive!

w/r/t language, yes English has more vowels than most, but I think that its complicated consonant clusters are its real challenge.

I mean, what other language has words (indeed, single syllables!) like "twelfths"?  The vowel isn't the problem there for second-language speakers. The unvoiced 'th' is odd enough by itself, but you can get used to it; it's not all that peculiar.  Sandwiching it between an 'L', 'F' and 'S' - that's bizarre. 

The fact that its spelling and pronunciation are only casual acquaintances is a difficulty, but mostly a product of the fact that it's among the first languages where the ideas of standardized spelling and widespread literacy caught on, and the pronunciation of words has since drifted away from  fixed spellings that actually made sense at the time.  That 'gh' in night for example is left over from a voiced guttural (descended from German unvoiced 'ch' ) that isn't part of the language any more.

FWIW - That is what is referred to as "Head-can(n)on" in here, and I've seen more detailed canons, and ... much "looser cannons" than those BenRG generally puts on the upper deck. (What I was unhappy with, I've already said, and I've also said I generally enjoy Ben firing a "broadside", so YMMV)



Personally, I've found it conducive to my mental health to try and regard the speculation in here as a form of "collective emergent performance art" ...  :wink:

This IS, after all, the WCDT - usually just one step removed from alt-canon (and-, if it were not for the moderation, slash-fic) - it's tempting to groan about other people's "mental mortar", while forgetting the "Howitzer weighing down on your own skull" ...

O I know I was just messin' around.

Jeph may spell it 'Brun', but what Brünnhilde is saying is 'Brün'.  Clinton would have no trouble with 'Brun'.
Instead he tries to make it 'Broon'.

Excellent catch! 

I still think that the crease from behind in the first panel I referenced looks more like what would happen with a snug skirt than with jeans, but yeah, you got it.

Interesting theory, but she wrote her name down as 'Brun' in the last comic.  :-P

Maybe, but Brün and Broon are pretty distant sounds. Wouldn't Clinton have pronounced it "Brin"or something in that case?

We still don't know for sure if Brun's troubles originated with a childhood trauma. What we do know is that Clinton has just suffered a serious trauma! Mrs A may take a lover if she wishes but I bet Clinton would have preferred if he hadn't been a man his own age that he knows from college!

I think that Clinton is deep in 'hiding in a corner, rocking back and forth whilst sucking your thumb' territory here! :laugh: Poor Chad probably has no clue! I wonder if Mrs A will come clean or if she'll... er... 'distract' him? :wink:

Of course, I'm assuming that he doesn't know. If I'm wrong, then Clinton may have worse to come. Will he need to call him 'Dad' eventually? :-o

Yeah, what iwdy said.

OK, I guess it's only semi-related to the comic, but I'll ask.

This might be my general weirdness, but I am always utterly baffled by the reaction, which seems to happen both in fiction and as a reaction of fans of fiction. The idea that seeing/thinking/talking about parents having sex is extremely uncomfortable. The phrase "brain bleach" is used more often than not.

I mean, I understand the part that we are wired not to be attracted to our parents. Therefore, the idea of a parent having sex is not, well, sexy to us ourselves. But at the same time, I don't understand why I would be particularly weirded out by the fact that my parents have had sex. I'm kinda a key piece of evidence that it had to have happened at some point =P no, I do not think about it actively and the thought would probably be somewhat awkward, and granted, I've never walked in on my parents having sex or anything. But I don't think I would be particularly traumatized by this. Probably not as a child and certainly not as a teenager/adult.

In this case, it's not even the reaction Clinton is having. His response makes perfect sense to me. But the ubiquity of "eww eww eww parents HAVING SEX" is utterly incomprehensible to me.

I mean, isn't it kind of narrow-minded to be weirded out by something just because it is not appealing to us on a personal level? The "parents having sex" reaction, despite it clearly being a different reason, kinda reminds me of people who seem to be homophobic mainly because they don't personally enjoy the thought of same-sex couples doin' it*. With, in some cases, a measure of ageism thrown in, due to one's parents' relative age?

Again, personal sexy thoughts and aesthetic appeal aside, I'm not sure why parents/family being sexually active would be a reason to freak out to any large extent. Is it because people don't think of their own parents (or other close family) as persons with a sex drive? Is it because we're supposed to react this way for some reason?

Help me out here, people.


* So I find the phrase "doin' it" amusing. So sue me.

It isn't 'parent having sex' that's the problem. It's 'Mom having sex with a guy my age who I know personally' that seems to be the real problem. He'll never be able to talk to Chad in CompSci... or even look at him... ever again without this traitorous part of his hind-brain making him imagine him and his mother doing... things. It's not a recipe for ease of mind.

The issue for Clinton isn't that his mom is sexually active - it's that her paramour is younger than he is.

It isn't 'parent having sex' that's the problem. It's 'Mom having sex with a guy my age who I know personally' that seems to be the real problem. He'll never be able to talk to Chad in CompSci... or even look at him... ever again without this traitorous part of his hind-brain making him imagine him and his mother doing... things. It's not a recipe for ease of mind.

Yeah, in this case I get it, that's why I said it was only semi-related to the comic. I did mention that Clinton's reaction was pretty much normal.

The trope of "parents are having sex, child is weirded out/panics/has a BSOD" seems to be extremely common, though, and that's what I was referring to.

There are things Man was not meant to know.

They include who their parents booty calls are, or that your age group is within their, shall we say, target demographic.

This guy reminds me of Captain Awesome, what with the gregariousness, manliness, and body comfort.

For all those concerned about the clock: don't be alarmed.
Why, does the discussion tick you off? :claireface:

The othering and exoticising of other races is a recurring issue discussed in depth in another thread, frequently. I was simply trying to sidestep one small micro part of that.
I figured that was your assumption, which is why I endeavored to point out that in context what was being called strange (jokingly) was English, not Central Asian languages.

People are worried about the clock. 
It's in the hotel safe. 
I shall continue to nitpick, because there's no indication that they pass a safe in that entrance scene where she also doesn't have the clock.

The issue for Clinton isn't that his mom is sexually active - it's that her paramour is younger than he is.
Well, there's no indication of that being the case. They're clearly peers, but younger people tutor slightly older peers all the time in college, depending on what order they took their classes in.

That is of course, the correct answer, both logically and according to Occam's Razor. As such, it has no place here.

Oh, and since I forgot to mention - I can't put my finger on exactly why, but Chad seems like such a chill dude, I think he's my favourite side character in the entire comic now =D I hope we get to see more of him.

Not in that way.

Although...

Remember, folks, this is finding this out on the same day he got rejected himself.

Damn.

Also the bar he was in burned down, and he helped a very distraught Brun find a place for the night. I think that would be slightly more in the front of his mind.

Same reason I also don't get why people think Brun had some sort of childhood trauma or autism that caused her reaction -- she suffered huge trauma today, her house burned down. That by itself would be enough to cause this sort of reaction for many people. It was probably her bar too, since no sort of boss or owner figure showed up to assist.

Found him. It´s the guy from the computer store:

http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3132

Or maybe not? He looks a bit different. Hmm...

TM

This is definitely not the same Chad as the one at the computer store. Besides the obvious physical differences, the store clerk was "Fucking Chad, man" and this one is "Chad the fucking man."

Some sort of reaction, certainly, but her reaction in particular was unusual enough to spark speculation.

Sparking speculation, silly sometimes, satisfies some.

And Clinton's day ends as it began. With terrible embarrassment.

I think I love Chad. He was so utterly delighted and unashamed to see Clinton. I really got the impression he would have been happy if Clinton had come inside for a cup of coffee and nice chat. Thoughts of "Darn, a third wheel on my romantic evening" obviously never crossed his mind.
