    To me it looks like they are, and always have been, about the same height.

    Good image of them together, about the same height.

    Also, from before Jeph started drawing Clinton as an androgynous 15-year-old.

    It is one thing to suspend your disbelief. It is another thing entirely to hang it by the neck until dead.

    Verisimilitude -- n, the appearance or semblance of truth, likelihood, or probability.

    The concern is not realism in speculative fiction, but rather the sense that a setting or story could be real, fostered by internal consistency and coherence.

    Yeah, Clinton's overall visual design definitely seems... different. Not just the makeover aspects.

    I mean, no webcomic ever manages to keep character design totally consistent, but it's a little concerning that Clinton seems to be drawn in a much more... waifish sort of way right as he's getting shipped with another guy. Hmm.

    Considering Jeph changes how his characters look every like 100 strips, I wouldn't read too much into it

    Didnt he start looking kinda bishounen when he was trying to date emily? Like dora and hanners were both acknowledging he was inexplicably handsome?

    I think that was just supposed to be an acknowledgement of the self-confidence and improved bearing he got from the experience, although he probably also stopped being drawn with his entire face leading into one super sharp angular nose around then.

    Also, he has been framed against Elliot a lot recently, and therefore has to be proportioned smaller the rest of the frame in the past week?

    Clearly you haven't played enough of the Civilisation games - you start out with spearmen and within 2 or 3 hours you have space shuttles, so she's definitely on the right path.

    Meh, your kink only "harm" is that it wastes food (unless you find some human whose fetish is to eat the bread you previously used), but then again unless there's a food shortage around that's basically the most minor of minor issues.

    Still, yeah, fetishes in general are the kind of thing that you don't need to share with everyone else, or at least not with the general public. It's good not to be ashamed of them, but there's a difference between not being ashamed and oversharing it with whoever is near.

    Also even if you aren't ashamed of it, there's a good chance that by telling other people who never asked about it, you make them extremely uncomfortable.

    I kind of hope that this little quirk of Roko's pays off at some point. QC has always gone out of its way to be supportive of LGBT+ and neurodivergent characters and depict them with respect and humanity, but making someone's fetish into a punchline feels somewhat off-brand.

    I don't think Wraith meant the individual punchline of this one strip. More that having someone have such a wacky fetish is using the idea of kinks and treating it with not-all-that-much dignity. There's certainly threads of it -- the entire bread-fetish arc was initiated with a terrible date between Roko and Pintsize that was solidly not-serious and something of a throwback wacky hijinks arc. That said, Jeph has pretty much taken the somewhat ridiculous initial premise and treated it faithfully and seriously as a metaphor for real-world paraphilias. If we can treat rainbow-hued robots as metaphors for minorities, or one robot's inability to accept a new body as hers as metaphor for body dysmorphia, then Roko's journey on this topic seem actually really on-brand.

    And so far the theme seems to be nobody but her cares. Which is honestly how it should be treated. Aside from your romantic partner, and barring it being something illegal and harmful, why should anyone care if you like to have butterscotch pudding thrown at your chest while no less than 7 but no more than 13 hamsters in their exercise balls roam the room?

    Maybe the hamsters have something to say about the situation.

    Considering balloons are a whole major fetish thing, I don't really see Roko's thing for bread being quite a blow to the dignity of the kink community.

    Granted, a cursory check of a major kink site finds no genuine results for people into bread sexually (though there are groups playing off its homophonous relation to another kink and making jokes based on that). But I don't think there are many kinky people out there who are so up their own butts about it that they'd be upset at Roko liking bread as her fetish of all things.

    If you're thinking of who I'm thinking of with the Wonder Bread, I think that's more of a fetish about rich upper middle class status. Somehow deforestation got mixed in there too.

    Huh. I always thought Jeph chose bread as a sensory experience that readers would be familiar with, that has a lot of non-sexual connotations, as a demonstration of something robots would experience differently to humans. (And for some reason I always thought it was the smell of bread rather than the actual tangible object. Think I'm getting mixed up with Bubbles' tea thing.) So the idea of a robot having a bread fetish was supposed to be out of the ordinary in an "AI vs humans" kind of way, but also kind of logical?

    I am mildly surprised to hear that it is actually not-so-much-of-a-thing with humans though. (Or at least not as documented by the Interwebs.) Maybe all the other associations crowd out that one.
    I'm pretty much the opposite of concise. If I fail to get to the point, please ask me and I'm happy to (attempt to) clarify.

    Yup, I think Brun's autism was a similar case. BTW, those strips have some seriously weird behaviour by Claire, unless she was just very uninformed. Anyway, I don't think that there was supposed to be something deeper behind the bread.

    That sounds like a very disingenuous interpretation of Renee's explanation for saying what she said.
