Since the invention of the word fuck, there have only been five times when the word was rated the most defining, the most fitting. This one left them all behind
Hahahahaha! Well played. Maybe Bruce isn’t totally happy with his relationship though? Or maybe he’s one of those unfortunate souls who doesn’t know when he’s flirting?
Well, I read it as this just being the way he acts all the time, and it’s only interpreted as flirting by Cleo because she’s desperate (by her admission.) I’m only mentioning this because it’s interesting sociolinguistically what exactly constitutes “flirting” since none of the discussions between these two really looks like flirting to me.
now I’m gonna look for papers on flirting…
Exclusive or semi-exclusive closeness? He seems particularly interested in Cleo when he’s around her no matter who else is there, and she’s obviously attracted in him, so he should know the way he’s acting will encourage that attraction unless he’s oblivious to his own flirtatiousness. I think that says something good about him, but it also has the potential to really mess up friendships..
“…unless he’s oblivious to his own flirtatiousness.” That’s specifically what I’m talking about, yes, but in the context of it not really being flirting from all perspectives.
I had a longer post written up but it doesn’t really matter. It’ll likely be wrapped up soon enough. Suffice it to say, I’d like more story lines that end in hilarious disappointments.
I do this comic for free, but if you like it and have a little extra to throw my way, I'd very much appreciate it.

Poor Ben. He means well, but that usually leads to something hilariously awkward happening.

We need more Ben-on-Ben comedy action. With Ben2 ironically playing the straight man.

Nikki’s the totallylikekewl girl our Bobwhite trio love to hate!
