It seems like every time Clinton talks to Brun, the conversation suddenly takes a dark turn.

I am absolutely here for the clock madness. I need all of it.

Al Hunt

When I bought my house, it was owned by the person Brun is describing. Luckily, they took their time. On quiet nights, I still hear ticking.

Brun is, in her own way, among Jeph's more interesting characters. Those last few panels bring to mind Alice (of Alice Grove, natch).

Gary Walker

Pop into Hippie Stuff. They have a clean toilet and also incense and shit.

Chris Gallaty

We have 2 clocks in one room, the seconds take turns going in and out of phase as one is slightly faster than the other one. I can imagine enough of them would get.... interesting.

Ok. Brun, sometimes you scare me, even WITHOUT the harpoon.

I think you mean the collector starts "tok-ing" back. Talk, tok. I'll go now...

Clifton Royston

The last panel makes me think of 'Midnight by the Morphy Watch', though that's more chess-focused than clock-focused.

Buck Caldwell

One of my biggest pet peeves is clocks with second hands that don't land on a tickmark when they tock. I had jury duty a couple of years ago and the clock's second hand kept persistently landing about 2/3 of the way from one tick to the next, every single tock, both on the downswing and the upswing. I felt like I needed medicating by the end of the day.

Mine never lands on the tockmark when it ticks. You decide which is worse.

JEPH STOP MAKING ME FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR CHARACTERS FFS

Sally Fields

hey, if you haven't already check out "theif of time" by (GNU) Terry Pratchett. Characters are very similar to Brun

Dylan T

Brun do you...know this from experience?

Bagge

That's a real concern

Ian Wolfe

All those out-of-sync ticks really will drive you insane, though. Makes my skin crawl just thinking about it.

Evgeniy Semyonov

Looks like someone's been playing Sunless Skies. The whole Royal Horological Office is about something like last panel... and then it gets worse. Much worse.

Thomas Boys

Collecting clocks eventually sends you a little cuckoo?

Lasphy

I can't help but think of Jeremy, the Completely Sane clockmaker from Terry Pratchett's Thief of Time

Dean Reilly

Get a big enough collection of anything and it ends up owning you, not the other way around.

Dennis Watson

My grandmother collected clocks. Lots of them, ticking, ticking. The top of the hour could be pretty intense, especially at 11 and 12. I think this is spot on.

"that way lies madness" is why i'm a patreon

Maurice Kessler

That was a cautionary shoutout to collectors everywhere. I'm thinking right now of old guys with garages full of action figures.

Brad Knowles

That's only if the clocks tick. If you use electronic clocks and keep them all in sync with NTP, you're fine. ;)
