Original Commentary

Amazing how Brisbane has grown as a person throughout the comic. At the start of You Say it First (much less Unlike Minerva) he wouldn't have dared to ignore Kimberly like that. Whether it's a good idea or not remains to be seen - Terrence

Modern Commentary
Is Kimberly overreacting to a weird noise?

Yeah, maybe a little. Is Brisbane blithely disregarding her feelings because he's confident that he can make things work, despite having absolutely no idea what he's doing?

Definitely. - Terrence
