Nib Nab 4 - Brutus and Clovis
🕑 Added 2020-02-10 22:04:16 +0000 UTCNibbly gets away with more clothes, suggested by Storymaker2!
Some people do wonder if Brutus is simply putting on an act. But I would assure them, he is not. The dumb guy being secretly smarter than he lets on is a common trope, and in some ways, Brutus is more intelligent than he seems in specific skills, but he is simply not very clever. His brain looks at things as he sees it, and rarely questions the world around him unless someone else prompts him to do so first.
He's big and dumb, but he's happy, and exceptionally loyal. He would defend Clovis (or his "sister") with his life without thinking about it.

It's times like this where I REALLY have to wonder just What do characters like Clovis and Natani sound like to be utterly Gender neutral outside their direct Visual body appearance.

Can he speak English? I thought he only speak Keidran.
Doctor Disaster
Brutus may be a clueless idiot. But he's OUR clueless idiot.
Nathani
I’m getting Mrs. Doubtfire vibes from this. I love it!
The_Nitpick
Huh that's weird. Clovis is in full color but Tom left Brutus and the rest of the scene in grayscale. :V

Every drawing that has had Brutus and “Clovis' sister” together, he's always blushed. It's pretty clear that Brutus is attracted to her, but with her supposed relation to The Boss, Brutus would NEVER act on the attraction without very explicit consent, as well as permission from The Boss. Because he's a good boi. 🐺

Brutus is really lucky he's so handsome, cause poor boy is dense as a lead brick lol

Squirrels are mischievous and cunning, never trust the squirrel.
LupusK
Hekk Brutus is so adorable.
Dmitry Shvalev
why would nib need all those clothes?
Red Skull
I would say yes but my common sense screams NO
Beastking1945
Nibs strikes again.

It could be the same principle with Kronk and the whole Principle Amzy is Yzma thing. That took him to the very end of series to finally catch on.
poijn23
you would think that brutus must now that clovis is his boss from her smell, since he is a wolf.... so brutus either isn't a very bright cookie or he knows she is his boss and just play along with his boss antic beacuse he is a good boi. btw brutus is blushing a little.......

"Dibs on the clothes!" The nesting need is strong in that one. / (Sythe) "I did nothing!"
Randy Healon
Brutus's innocents is actually kind of adorable
JokerA249
Wait... Did Nibbly take their clothes while they were wearing them? Brutus only knows Clovis with his clothes on and he thought that Clovis was himself until he turned around. Plus Brutus was without clothes as well. If she did manage to do that... Pickpocket 100

Brutus: Oh, okay. That’s good to hear. Clovis: Yes, yes it is. (idiot)

So Clovis is in Brutus's room, obviously. Or Brutus is in Clovis's room. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I like how happy Brutus looks to see "Clovis' sister" - Maybe it's out of sheer loyalty, but that blush makes me think he's enamored with "the sister" either because she's hot or looks like the Boss.
Cirian
I love Brutus. He's such an adorable doofus~
ThirdKind
Just get it over and bang already
Joseph Flynn
I sense many future shenanigans involving Clovis's "sister" and Brutus. Love these characters so much :)
Kieroni
The "dumb guy is actually smart" can be a fun trope, but I prefer Brutus as a big lovable guy who just isn't super sharp.
Avil Torm
Would love to see Brutus searching for something for clovis's sister to wear and happens upon that Maid outfit from back on August 3 2018.

I really hope that it becomes a plot point in the main story for Clovis to be somewhat reformed by the affection for Brutus engendered by his sheer innocence.
steelabjur
Let me just say, looks like Brutus likes what he sees in the second part.
GravTempest
I hope this gets chosen for coloring. Its just that funny and cute. :D
Brian Roy
It's worth considering that *we* know Clovis' secret. Brutus has no idea, and probably doesn't even think it's possible. Put yourself in his place. You don't have to be particularly simple to believe Clovis' "obvious" lie if you discount the truth from the beginning.
Sythe would go ‘nuts’. ( yeah I said it)
Benji Fox
He's a good boy, not that bright but he's a good boy. X3
Ordithus
Genuinely adorable evil characters! That height difference is something else.<br>Next in the series, Nibs can't nab Kat and Flora.
Kubulai
Against all odds, they're frickin' adorable together.
Estragon
That is one busy squirrel. (Bicycle repairman! But how?!)
MoppyPuppy
So Brutus has a dog brain with the ability to speak English, that's cool.
Estragon
Agreed
DCTunnell
I love Brutus...can I just adopt him? I would give him many belly rubs!
Kyle Kowalchuk
Clovis does not deserve Brutus!!!!!
Drago Whooves
I bet he knows but plays dumb so Clovis can save face

And as a reference from the same anime: “what a haul, what a haul!”
hippiewerewolf
Brutus is a good boy.
Thisguy
... He’s dumber than Akane Tendo...

Love this duo
Gorratsol
Nibbly is making a nest out of all those clothes. I wonder... did someone got her pregnant? xD
MaximArrtist
Man, even a rock would be smarter than him XD.
Roughlandin
You are disgusting (but he do, tho).
McClaw
So maybe Cloviss falls prey to Tiresias' observation (that women enjoy sex 9-10 times more than men)?
Mimeo
They really have the most unique "relationship" and I absolutely adore it!
Roughlandin
Also! As discussed in the stream chat on Sunday, my current headcanon is that "Clovis' sister" is named Cloviss. The single extra "S" is enough to convince Brutus they're not the same person. After the events of the comic, Cloviss gives up on evil schemes and trying to become male again and settles down with Brutus; convincing him that Clovis died tragically just out of frame and left all of his inheritance to her. Brutus misses his boss terribly, but his new bosswife is so oddly familiar that it helps him forget some. In fact, other than the gender thing, sometimes it feels like the boss never left at all!
Roughlandin
Hrrrnngh! You are dumb as a box of rocks with only one rock in it, but I forgive you, you big beautiful stupid boi!
Vicroc4
Hah. Brutus is so wonderfully oblivious.
dankm3m3r
no doubt we need a colored version of this
coredumperror

Renn
Oh Brutus, you are such a lovable idiot.
