I suspect that Jeph is keeping quiet about just what Brun's condition is deliberately, so that people who are like her can identify with her and people who aren't don't feel that someone has misrepresented them. This is mere speculation on my part, but it seems like a sensible sort of thing to do. Seems to me that Brun already has a protective friend: Renee. They play off of each other well, because Renee is in full possession of all the social perceptions and skills that Brun lacks. Renee is just about as graceless, forthright, and direct as Brun, but from impatience, not from having a social blind spot. I like them and the way they are together.

That spelling error in yesterday's comic didn't get fixed. "Thst".

I'm not sure Jeph has ever said it specifically, but I've assumed for a while that Brun is on the autism spectrum. High functioning, but her trouble reading people, difficulty with change and her obsession with the order of timekeeping devices sort of point that way. I'm not sure she could afford an Anthro, but she could use one. May isn't technically Dale's. She's plenty rough, but I think she'd be protective of Brun.

I was hearing the emphasis on every syllable

Scott Kenney

I seem to recall that she works as a bar-back at the Horrible Revelation.

Dean Reilly

Has Brun found another job yet, or is she still doing side-jobs at the bakery, for which she was getting first dibs at the 'second day stale' section?

There once was a girl surfing couch, Who's roomie had become a grouch. There's no time to waste, You must make great haste, Your harpoon just gave me an ouch!

BobC

Be direct!

Bagge

Or an AnthroPC?

Captain Button

sounds like she wants a roomate

Kyle Major

Oh, she got the full name. Someone's about to get a stern talking to.

Brun is a human who the AIs are secretly rooting for: If a HUMAN can't grok human culture, it's okay if an AI can't.

Czarzhan

Is Brun secretly an AI who has yet to grasp social norms?

Mordaeus

Brun is cute in every panel

Elliott.

Brian

I know a good building with lots of interesting tennants.

Buck Caldwell

So IMO there's no way Jeph is going to have Brun living on her own. So which other cast member is she going to live with? Emily?

Andrew Mitchell

I love these two so much.

Nicholas Lopez

She should be like the other poor college grads in a terrible economy and get a job as a barista.

Brian

"I don't mind begging. You always say yes." I love this quote so much.

Rob McBobson

Brun is a cute in panel 4.

Vanestus

I identify with Brun so hard here

Thomas Halpin

Time for Brun to go apartment hunting!

JD

Brun is like a college graduate. Not ready to live in the real world.
