Of Course He Is

If you look back through previous comics, Jeph has always used little effects like this here and there, additionally, if that was to happen, it wouldn't be anime, it'd be a manga

"I am indeed." story of my life.

Hey, it's okay Elliot is freaking out. I did the first time, too... and it wasn't even a gay Make-outs.

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

Yes, of course it hurts when buds are breaking

Elliott has a strong "hiding mind-numbing dread behind a smile" game. He would fit Augustus family very well.

Evgeniy Semyonov

It took me a second to realise that they weren't Them.

Mark

A chart for only 3 data points seems slightly excessive, though.

Mark

I really hope there is no self-sabotage. I've seen that way too often in MeatSpace...

MiaKitty

Wait... Brun has a *chart*? Actually, when you think about it, she's the sort of person who would need a visual guide to keep track of all this stuff. I wonder if Elliot is psyching himself up to self-sabotage in the mistaken belief that it is in some way suave or attractive?

Ben Russell-Gough

Elliot == me

Onyx

yo, hold up is that a reference to the chart made by @peter_ravn on Twitter? cuz i feel like it could at least be a reference to the first incarnation.

Absentia

I dig the sparkles but I am worried that it's another small step along the road to QC going full anime. I suspect a lot of readers will enjoy that but I've never found an anime I like and so I'm worried about that future.

Andrew Mitchell

I love the three of them being all lined up in the first panel: "Hello, we are the greek choir for today. Please tell us the latest drama"

Bagge

THE FREAKING OUT IS WHAT TURNS ME ON!

Yelling Bird

...while eating cereal

So, Sven and Steve walk into a bar...

BobC

I'm old enough to remember when it was all about indie music references.

Reyn Goldfur

You naive little cinnamon roll... This is merely an interlude to let readers think things have gone back to normal for a strip or two before Mommymilker420 x Burger Oni x Lul Beef sweep in unannounced to flow up everything. This is the calm in the eye of the hurricane before the other wall hits XD

Mark Thomas

I'm old enough to remember when the comic was all about robots

Rich Holmes

oh honey

Tamara Macadam

I'm waiting for the cartoon to devolve back to them. After Pintsize destroys the planet.

Joseph Bonnar

I like how Shitty Dan fits in so well with Renee and Brun, like he’s the third part of the trio they didn’t know existed until he showed up.

Populuxe

I think EVERYBODY loves Shitty Dan.

Joseph Bonnar

I once had try explain the history of the relationship between myself, my partner, my then-boyfriend, his lesbian ex-wife, their girlfriend, the ex-wife's new wife, and the ex-wife's new wife's husband. Unfortunately, I had no chart-making materials available in the pub, so I had to use table-top condiments as stand-ins for those involved. That was before my partner got my boyfriend hired in her department at the telco...

James Redekop

I believe some fans actually did make a chart about this, so I'm just assuming that Brun's looks more or less like it.

C-Cubed

I am shocked, shocked that you abandoned the V-tuber theme that served you so well for so long. The comic is RUINED FOREVER!

Captain Button

I remember when your comic was about Marten and Pint-size!

Robert Spremulli

This story needs more May. There, I said it.

Andrea Andrew

Of course Brun made a chart to show Hot Dan... XD XD

Shawn K. Younkin

AAAAA LOOK AT HOW HAPPY OUR BOY IS

Joel Bateman

Brun strikes me as a person who makes a lot of charts.

Ace of Hearts

It's so nice to see Elliot sparkling!! About time he gets some (sparkles)...

Tom Cavnar

Wow. I never related as hard to Elliot as I do here - the one time in my life I experienced the 'butterflies in my stomach' sensation was also coupled with freaking tf out. 8D

Sero

Good, good. Enough of the drama at the Augustus household. Although it was awfully entertaining.

Michael Boettger

I love that we're all still calling him Shitty Dan. I feel like the name totes needs to stick around as ironic now.

Amy ☣

no wholesome, only udders

Kurt Lewis

I was just thinking that I wanted to see more of Hot Dan

Elliot continues to be a mood

dirtknight

I had a feeling that the comic would cut to him being happy today. Side note, I really hope Shitty Dan sticks around.

JD

Shitty Dan!

YEAH, SHITTY DAN IS STILL AROUND

Jackie Horn

Elliot is me this week

Hope
