But What Does It MEAN

Oh yeah! forgot about the Yay angle.

Technoir

Well, it was enough income Yay started setting up shell companies and stuff to hide it...

David Howe

for when you need a dab of milk?

David Howe

it's like that because she has the ability to overcome great fear

Ashe C. Addams

I love this so much

SC

In the alternate universe where AI persons are all over the place, perhaps Apple color codes differently. I wonder if texts from AI brains have squared corners?

Mad Marie

I'm confused about why it's Claire's phone that is using the (iOS code for non-Apple device) green color for her own text's bubble.

Constantine Hannaher

holy crap. Claire's mom is my mom. or at least they share a texting style. & my mom is like twice Aurelia's age.

Joe

Tru' nuff, but I'm still betting it's something about Mommy Milker stuff.

Technoir

On the contrary, those are Apple emoji. E.g. compare the penguin https://emojipedia.org/penguin/ or the teapot https://emojipedia.org/teapot/

Jan Szejko

She doesn't have to get that far to live comfortably / do it full time, when you consider that Marigold has two full time employees and enough left over to give a ton to charity.

Kyle Rudy

She is absolutely my favorite character.

Kyle Rudy

I too watched Nightmare Before Christmas for Halloween. "Interesting reaction! But what does it MEAN!?" Bravo, sir. Perfect for the Halloween drop.

Jeremy Tighe

does this mean claire's an android user? :)

pretty sure it means Claire's mom has gone full-time Mommy Milker Famous, and is approaching Marigold level of increasing wealth.

Yes, they're part of the unicode standard for emojis

They’re part of the Unicode standard!🦏🦥🦔🦧🐌

Jackson Bockus

"the animal ones. Is that stuff real?" Yes. They're available on an iPhone at least. Not sure if other brand phones have those, too, or not.

FuryoftheStars

Nom de pot in more than one sense of the word...

David Howe

This is the only online comic I have to regularly extract and enlarge to see the tiny little images and puns. I thought I was following the emojis till all the animal ones. Is that stuff real?

jimbo

When we don't know where it's been? I shall think not...

Leak

This is the exact amount of emoji that my mom uses when she's texting me 😂

I hope she doesn't expect Claire to keep this a secret from Marten? (it doesn't sound like he's invited to dinner too)

Lucas Werkmeister

We are seeing the characters being gradually divided into two camps: those who know about Marigold, and those who know about Aurelia. Is war on the horizon? Who will be the last to know?

Mad Marie

The ninjas put it there when you weren’t looking!

Mad Marie

ah, parents

Lucas Werkmeister

I love Aurelia so

Fart Captor

Watch our Claire! That many emoji's? She's about to invite you to a multilevel marketing scheme 'Babe' 😂

Kurist Zero

I see what you did there

Bagge

No, no, I think those emoys convey the situation pretty well

Bagge

She's really milking the suspense here.

Simon Green

Marten has three, we have been told.

Captain Button

I like how teh shirt is a consistent staple wardrobe. I must procure one for myself at some point.

David Martelli

Maybe it's her way of cleverly hinting at the truth without coming right out and saying it. Or maybe she's just high af

Nicolas Demers

hardly anyone knows about that, do they?

I hope she’s not too upset after she’s told. Because there’s no use crying over spilled milkmaids. :D

Summer Sudbrink

ANYONE WANNA NOM MY 'POT'?

Yelling Bird

WTF spellcheck... there's no need for an apostrophe in Ninjas....

Absynthe

Yay is the Ninja... Ninja's are mammals! https://everything2.com/title/Ninjas+are+mammals

Absynthe

What animal would Yay be?

Drazi

I forget, does Claire know what marigold has been doing for money lately?

Captain Button

More like "spill the milk"

Czarzhan

INDEED --N

Nobilis Reed (personal)

Mom is going to spill the beans to daughter? :)

Joseph Bonnar

Every animal except the relevant one -- could that mean she joined a group of people who livestream as different animals? Or she herself is playing other animals? Or she just couldn't find a cow emoji?🐮

Bill Marcum

Aurelia is right, Claire is wrong, that metaphor/emoji deployment is on point.

Diptych

But does he know about Yay?

Michael Boettger

Clinton already knows.

Kate Cole

Zero chill

doorbender

Mooooo

SpookyPenguin

Either she'll reveal her online activities to Claire (and possibly Marten and Clinton) or she'll introduce her new "friend". Either way, there will be a dramatic loss of chill.

Michael Boettger

Anyone else getting some big Ina energy from those texts? Just me....Ok....

Anthony Gaglianese

nom de pot

Tamara Macadam

Next time I get a vague text from someone I'm going to use that scale.

Ted Van Roekel

💯👍 accurate 🎯🎯🎯🎅

Magic Chopstick Games

It's right there after the French flag -- you just can't see it because it's a ninja and hiding.

Brooks Moses

'Now imagine that all of the pots have four boobs 💯🤡🤑💫💅🌄'

Dean Reilly

And thus is born the next vTuber Collective.

Buck Caldwell

emomji

Ting

Every animal emoji except the one that's relevant.

Bill Silvia

I still don't get the ninja emoji

K C

Moo phi moo. Milk it milk it milk it

Mr. Ifrit

That's perfect mom-emoji usage Claire!

cookiecryptid

Nom de pot lmao

Ting
