How My Brain Works

Stephen Smoogen

Thanks for having a character like this who is very realistic and not Sherlock Holmes or a villain

If it sounds awesome a shirt with Brun's face in the second panel by itself would be pretty handy at cons so people will have a hint to where (seemingly) unrelated remarks come from.

I love Brun. I do the same thing all the time.

Sean

But what unit of mass?

Same, Brun.

Brun in "Hey gang I has a technical!" mode is freaking ADORABLE (3rd frame)

Auros Harman

Yeah, that's what I was going to ask. I'm guessing it's kg, since it's pretty common to quote densities in either kg per m^3 or g per cm^3.

What unit is that, nothing per cubic meter?

Matthew Foweraker

Ah, the good ol' brain wiki-walk. I know it well.

As someone who was diagnosed with Aspergers as a kid, I can relate to Brun quite a bit. She seems to have a lot of similar traits to someone with high-functioning autism. From an inability to instinctively "get" social cues to her uncannily good knack with numbers and an "obsession" with something technical. Mine's computers, I've known at least one person who's the same way about trains. For Brun, it seems to be clocks. I have no clue if you intentionally wrote her to be an Aspie, but she's certainly an entertaining figure, and someone I'll never tire of seeing :) Keep it up!

My brain does that too. I have an old friend who would ask which stepa got me from the convo topic to what I said. heh.

David Paul

Brun, I would totally hang out and talk astrophysics with you :)

TMN

Awwww, Brun! You were using dog jokes as a way to relate to humans socially! I want to hug you but I would ask permission first and you probably wouldn't get anything out of it.

Carl Fink

Talk to former science teacher me, and Brun would instinctively get the one-upmanship answer: "Yes."

Andrew

My god, it's full of stars!

Kajsa Anderson

My brain works something like that, too. Also, great job on Brun's blush in the last frame.

Littleshiro-kun

I totally can think like this. XD

The SI unit would be the implicitly understood one in astrophysics. The SI unit for density is kg / m³. So yes, kg is understood from the dialogue (although that makes "per cubic meter" a little misplaced, admittedly).

Also, this is how my wikipedia searches go.

It's Dina, but not restricted to dinosaurs as a subject matter for conversational tangents.

Gary Walker

I'm basically always thinking about degenerate matters.

Adam Friedlander

"Dense as a neutronium dumpling" is one of my favorite oddball insults. (From Dan of Dan's Data.)

Max D S

Just about any conversation can refer back to stardust...

James Cash

Missing a "kg" in Brun's dialogue? Not saying what unit per cubic meter
