Nib Nab 4 - Brutus and Clovis

Nibbly 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.

Nib Nab 4 - Brutus and Clovis

Comments

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.

Ardenx Delvou

Can he speak English? I thought he only speak Keidran.

JackAttack61107

Brutus may be a clueless idiot. But he's OUR clueless idiot.

Doctor Disaster

I’m getting Mrs. Doubtfire vibes from this. I love it!

Nathani

Huh that's weird. Clovis is in full color but Tom left Brutus and the rest of the scene in grayscale. :V

The_Nitpick

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. 🐺

Travis9x

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

Darkwolf

Squirrels are mischievous and cunning, never trust the squirrel.

LupusK

Hekk Brutus is so adorable.

LupusK

why would nib need all those clothes?

Dmitry Shvalev

I would say yes but my common sense screams NO

Red Skull

Nibs strikes again.

Beastking1945

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.

WhiteGlint211

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!"

Torbjörn Larsson

Brutus's innocents is actually kind of adorable

Randy Healon

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

JokerA249

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

SCD

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.

Customaera

I love Brutus. He's such an adorable doofus~

Cirian

Just get it over and bang already

ThirdKind

I sense many future shenanigans involving Clovis's "sister" and Brutus. Love these characters so much :)

Joseph Flynn

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.

Kieroni

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.

Avil Torm

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.

AetherSprite224

Let me just say, looks like Brutus likes what he sees in the second part.

steelabjur

I hope this gets chosen for coloring. Its just that funny and cute. :D

GravTempest

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.

Brian Roy

Sythe would go ‘nuts’. ( yeah I said it)

He's a good boy, not that bright but he's a good boy. X3

Benji Fox

Genuinely adorable evil characters! That height difference is something else.<br>Next in the series, Nibs can't nab Kat and Flora.

Ordithus

Against all odds, they're frickin' adorable together.

Kubulai

That is one busy squirrel. (Bicycle repairman! But how?!)

Estragon

So Brutus has a dog brain with the ability to speak English, that's cool.

MoppyPuppy

Agreed

Estragon

I love Brutus...can I just adopt him? I would give him many belly rubs!

DCTunnell

Clovis does not deserve Brutus!!!!!

Kyle Kowalchuk

I bet he knows but plays dumb so Clovis can save face

Drago Whooves

And as a reference from the same anime: “what a haul, what a haul!”

Thisguy

Brutus is a good boy.

hippiewerewolf

... He’s dumber than Akane Tendo...

Thisguy

Love this duo

Sharpshooter

Nibbly is making a nest out of all those clothes. I wonder... did someone got her pregnant? xD

Gorratsol

Man, even a rock would be smarter than him XD.

MaximArrtist

You are disgusting (but he do, tho).

Roughlandin

So maybe Cloviss falls prey to Tiresias' observation (that women enjoy sex 9-10 times more than men)?

McClaw

They really have the most unique "relationship" and I absolutely adore it!

Mimeo

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!

Roughlandin

Hah. Brutus is so wonderfully oblivious.

Vicroc4

no doubt we need a colored version of this

dankm3m3r

Hahaha, this is hilarious and cute!

coredumperror

Oh Brutus, you are such a lovable idiot.

Renn

Alternate working title: “Brutus Butt”

VGR

My god, Brutus is just amazing. Brutus is indeed the best boi.

DiDiDi-X

Brutus might not have the brains, but he’s got DAT ASS

Q
