Not Even A Weekend Shift

early comic because the whole city just lost power wooo
I figured the dress code was only for certain nights, like only on Tuesday and Sundays. Or maybe this is casual Friday?

Maybe Faye did him a proper covering and he unwrapped it from coming in the front door to sitting down?

I don’t think you want to know, although if you’re willing to spend 19 bucks on a pitcher of beer then maybe you wouldn’t care.

I'm more interested in what is in the "Nachos"...

What's with the $19 pitchers?

Maybe Jack is the other dude at the bar - he’s adept at sitting, using his phone, paying for drinks and putting on his hoodie. If that’s not a jack of all trades, what is?

Good luck with the power outage issue! I hope you guys are back up soon!

It's an ordinary bar stool with a hoodie thrown across it as a sort of makeshift cushion. Jeph has put on his hoodie in panel 5 but you can't see the stool as Brun is in the way in that panel and panel 6.

So, the guy sitting next to Clin-ton in panels 2, 3, and 4 is sitting on something. What is he sitting on? Is that a Duffel Bag? Does the duffel bag suddenly disappear in panel 5?
Brad Knowles

But Brun isn't a Jack. She would be a "Jane of all Trades".
Brad Knowles

I'm still trying to interpret Elliott in panel 1. Is he disappointed that Clinton is here to see Brun too? Or does he already know how difficult trying to interact with her this evening is likely to be?
Ben Russell-Gough

From what we know about synthetics, it wouldn't likely be more than an annoyance for him if she did. However, no, I suspect that several minutes passed between those two panels.
Ben Russell-Gough
2018-03-14 06:58:46 +0000 UTC
Sure, but 7 of them are about clocks so it's not THAT big a deal for her.
Bagge

What's impressive is Brun has 8 conversations going on, 1 word at a time.

or a flesh-toned one of those opera gloves that goes up to the armpit

It would seem the Drunken Revelation abandoned it's old time dress code or maybe this is their casual night.
And Brun is stronger than she looks if she can support an intoxicated AI. O'Malley is no Bubble's, but he probably has a more heavy duty chassis than the average AI.

There must be time travelers mucking around in his past. His hand keeps switching back and forth between real and prosthetic

I think it's a glove. Made from human skin. ("It rubs the lotion on its skin...")

Clinton regrew his hand! It's a nor'easter miracle!
2018-03-14 03:40:11 +0000 UTC
Maybe Clinton has a leather glove the same tone as his flesh? I'd believe that.... Probably...
neriek
2018-03-14 03:05:46 +0000 UTC
He did move, to somewhere in Canada. Perhaps close to MA?
2018-03-14 03:01:01 +0000 UTC
Hmm. Both hands flesh-colored again. Does that covering have chameleon-like color changing qualities?

oh dang i thought that was elliot sitting next to clinton, but since he wasn't they should

I'm glad Brun was hired there; the last I knew she was still out of work.
2018-03-14 00:49:28 +0000 UTC
Everything is CRUSHED!
We must now ship cRuSheD!
2018-03-14 00:48:36 +0000 UTC
Poor Elliot, wanting to talk to Clinton who he may or may not have a crush on just to be brushed aside by Clinton looking for Brun who he may or may not have a crush on to be brushed aside by her steadfast bartending including the harpoon that she may or may not have a crush on

Clinton's hand seems to be back to flesh-tone.

Has Shebly ever made an in-canon appearance? I think that would be cool.

did... did she harpoon Officer Fakestache?

Wait, isn't removing the riffraff Elliot's job?

Wow. Congratulations for fitting a long, complex story into a few words! I am Intrgued :) Good luck with the power. I hope you're warm enough

I think I've said this before, but as an amputee, I always appreciate seeing Clinton. The fact that his disability exists and is just quietly dealt with by technology is encouraging and refreshing. Too often, the person becomes a hero for just living their life. We're people, just like everyone else...just a little more complicated (and robotic).

Reason for harpoon: "Good evening sir. You have now had a half-dozen expensive cocktails without settling your tab. The shift manager sent me and my harpoon over to encourage you to make some payment before ordering your next round."
Ben Russell-Gough
2018-03-13 22:37:33 +0000 UTC
But why does she have the harpoon? Maybe a page on Bruns night?
2018-03-13 22:31:33 +0000 UTC
It’s Brun, the character who is basically a female me! Also, hi Jeph, where’s Shelby?
Will Weaver
2018-03-13 22:28:27 +0000 UTC
Also, shouldn't he have a power outlet tat on the same arm? Or did he have that removed?
Czarzhan
2018-03-13 22:27:59 +0000 UTC
Okay, this is my favourite Brun moment... Well, probably ever. Seriously, it has everything that I like about her as a character: Her work ethic, her complete willingness to do whatever it takes and her supreme organisational skill that lets her spread a sentence out over several minutes!

His prosthetic needs a touch up.

Is that Jeph sitting next to Clinton?
