Now I want to know how Clint lost his hand.
Fireworks accident, I believe.
... Okay I laughed out loud. Not quietly either. I can't say I expected the last panel. It feels organic as hell though. Definitely been a Brun and just brought up things that made people react like Clint.
Conversations with Brun are like that: you gotta be careful what you ask, because they will go in unexpected directions. On the other hand, it's not really rejection if she's not interested in any guys at all.
It isn't a rejection if its simple fact. Many outside of the comics routinely have trouble with the concept.
I’m kind of curious, Jeph: what is your internal voice for Brun? Like, how her voice sounds to you. I tend to read her with a deep voice, and I’m curious how close I am.
I've lost female friends because I didn't try something and they didn't want to just be friends. That shit's frustrating. -_-
You know, these two strips raised my opinion of Clinton by quite a bit. It takes a classy fellow to be able to take rejection like this on the chin and keep things friendly.
I love that Brun's perspective is that masturbation is not ubiquitous and in fact may be something Clinton and others are not familiar with yet. 'Try it, you might like it!' :)
Brun is best girl. She's so oblivious and I love it.
I love Brun's smile as much as I love Brun's grin. That is all.
You know, the whole community of QC patrons is pretty awesome. I love reading the comments almost as much as I love reading the comic (and seriously, who loves comments sections of anything these days?!).
I've said it before, the access cost to participate really *really* cuts down on the assholery, and for me that alone is well worth the price of admission. The only real alternative to get a decent comment section is heavy and frequent moderation. And hats off to the people that can handle that task, but I sure wouldn't be able to stand the toxicity that eventually creeps in, for long.
I guess he's trying to gauge her feelings about Elliot too. I guess this uncomplicates their situation, at least
Probably the one ace person here who’s not getting the ace vibe just yet. Brun is very literal and just because she isn’t sexually attracted to anyone right now, doesn’t mean that she doesn’t experience it. I’ve known plenty of allo/non-ace folks that are like her. Sure, she could be demi or ace but I’ll wait for more evidence to make a call.
Yeah, "right now" is not the same as "in general". I'm not attracted to any specific person right now, but that's cause I'm still getting over my last breakup, and also I haven't met anyone I could be attracted to because of the c-plague, not because of being ace (quite the opposite really).
This entire conversation was more than Clinton bargained for
Love it. Brun's social interactions are definitely on the artistic spectrum!
Think you typo'd there bud
Asexual Brun. I like it.
Don't jump to conclusions. Brün is very literal so there is a literalist loophole, he didn't ask about women or robots/corporeal AIs. It certainly seemed like she might have been headed to a romantic place with the new robot in the building some time ago.
I'm Still shipping yalliot get Clinton in there too im down.
I love that Brun has no filter!
I hate that, but people are what they are and shouldn't change to suit me. That level of no filter would make me uncomfortable super super fast.
Laughed out loud for real at the caption
Refers to this, which also has best Claire face ever. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2305
No, no Clinton. This conversation is just getting more interesting
This week is Asexual Awareness week! If that’s where this is going...excellent timing! 💜🖤🤍
Personally, I'm holding out for more of a hint that Brun is a fellow Aro. It's nice to see someone say "yeah, I like sexytime, but I'm not really *attracted* to anyone."
Can confirm.
This is why I always read the comments before commenting myself, so I don’t end up saying exactly the same thing as someone else, except one hour later.
That was dingdanged hilarious
I know people are talkin' about Millefuille but I love Ace/Aro Brun.
Agreed. Pretty sure is Brun was gay, she would know. Seems clear to me she's ace/aro and just hasn't really ever given sex much thought at all, hence why she had to stop and think about it when Clinton brought the subject up.
I love Brun so much right now.
My headcanon is that Jeph originally planned on a het Clinton/Brun ship, then decided to make everyone involved gay after one too many homophobes sent him angry emails. Looking forward to seeing Brun/Millefuille in the next arc haha
Not to be too on the nose, but this is as opportune a moment to mention that it's been a while since we got a nsfw, patron exclusive, bonus comic.
Indeed it has, I agree!
Brun is almost as inappropriate as I am. ALMOST. I is STILL the KING. :)
Oh lord. Typed in that last sentence and triggered an ear worm, Mojo Nixon singing "Elvis".
Ahahaha love the title
Never change, Brun. Never.
Ace representation!
QC, living up to its title finally...
It's done so before. Pretty much anything with Pint Sized, and there was a page with a nude Claire....
And as far as the tag at the bottom of the page, Claire already covered that bit of info.
To save someone else the trouble of looking it up: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2281
It's funnier when you consider that Clinton has been desperate to use the bathroom for this entire conversation.
"busting to know" currently outweighing "busting to go", i guess
YES, officially stating a character as ace. Now for Brun to just find out that you can be ace but also zedromantic, the concept of QPRs/squishes/zucchinis. Also, yay, ace rep that acknowledges that we can enjoy masturbation
Is Brun ace or just not into guys? She may just like women!
This may be a stupid question, because obviously who doesn't enjoy feeling pleasure, but do asexual people generally feel the urge to masturbate?
Some do; some don't. (Not everyone finds it pleasurable, for one thing.)
Interestingly specific wording on Clinton's part, there.
Right? Wouldn't he say anyone rather than guy? WTH, Jeph?
It IS a lot of fun!
I'm told I should relate to other humans by sharing a personal anecdote.
Yay, I love to see ace spectrum characters! Thank you!
Who's here to start the "Canon ace!" chant?
*bangs clipboard* ACE ACE ACE
BRUN.
No guys, but what about a female AI?
A female AI with an AWESOME butt.
YES BRUN YES
Well, that answers THAT.
Beat me to it!
