   I have to wonder how related is the concept of stripping to that of coping with depression. Both are acts of exposure that paradoxically conceal. Baring her body is a shield for Bruno’s soul, even if she doesn’t acknowledge it. Going out with friends is a social act that is a shield for intense spiritual and emotional isolation. Sticking your tongue out at the teacher while her back is turned. There’s a frisson of danger here, in all these instances. Danger is a very effective counter to the deadening of depression and social isolation, if, of course, hazardous.

   Who knows if anyone will see this comment since the strip was put up over a year ago (only discovered Bruno recently and have been powering through the entire comic), but one thing this whole Bruno-as-a-stripper story line has made me realize is that I don’t really care if a person chooses to be a stripper, but I HEAVILY judge the patrons. I’m curious to see if that aspect ever gets explored in the comic?
