The problem when authoritative figures (parents, teachers, bosses, etc) no longer have authority, is that the relationship between power and powerless has already been established and gotten used to. In this case, I’m not sure who’s more blind to the change, Bruno or her dad.

if the last two strips seemed out of place…. they were. I grabbed the files from the wrong folder. So… back to our regularly scheduled program: Bruno readying to go to New Orleans.
I think a lot of Bruno is about the inner struggle to stand up to outside pressures. I think she is perhaps being a tad rude and insensitive here, but I agree with where she stands. She is an adult, and he is trying to tell her what to do. it might be wise to listen to him, but he has no authority.
Meh. Who knows. :)
Do as I say and not as I do is an argument which can’t stand up against much pressure. And Bruno is FULL of pressure.
At least her Dad realizes that authority won’t work and is attempting to negotiate.
It’s funny what we tell ourselves to get through the day.
