The Riddle Of Stella Artois

Explaining by expounding, exposing, and exposition.

It's all about perspective, yes?

Jeffrey Nonken

Cutest nods since Bubbles "Indeed, it is ... like fuck." from #3255 (perhaps my favorite panel in all of QC).

Matt Grayson

"Expolained"? :)

James Redekop

Claire will regret her choice when she opens her exam paper to find that all of the questions are about dog puns.

Dean Reilly

Nod Nod I can almost see their tails wagging in unison is too cuuute And then Brun brings up dog puns as if on cue

Maybe Claire’s middle name is Sonya?

Well, at least we now know how it is Brun got so good with a harpoon! It was a starting aptitude requirement! I've got the feeling that Brun is trying to be helpful to Claire but isn't too sure exactly what to say. Her first impulse, to say: "Don't get the answers wrong." seems inadequate for some reason. BTW - Claire and Brun's smiles in panel 2 are literally the cutest thing I've seen in this strip for a while! Also, maybe I'm reading too much into this but I think it's significant that Brun sees Claire as being "Clinton's Sister". It's as if Clinton is a significant thing in her mind, isn't it?

Ben Russell-Gough

How would he answer "What is best in life" ?

And so begin The Adventures of Brunan the Bartenderian and Red Claireya

Was that a harpoon, or a hardy-har-poon?

It's much like explaining, only it involves hitting with poles. Maybe not so nice, come to think of it.

Clifton Royston

I'm dubious about the amount of actual studying that Claire's going to be able to get done.

Am Queue

Claire doesn't even need a harpoon for her exam

Bagge

I bet Brun came from a family of merchant marines.

Miyaa

I'm as concerned as I am amused.

Mordaeus

Here comes Brun with some much-needed perspective.

Celine Chamberlin

Expolained sounds nice

Yay Brun! I think it's best to appear enthusiastic. 😍

Denise Webber

As opposed to Conan the Librarian?
