It's Them

I think these three have trackers place on people they like ship and have an app to keep track of all of them 😋🥰

I mean, in a healthy place two men would be able to touch like that in a non-romantic context as well. But in the place we are, it's so meaningful to do that, and that makes this scene special.

Yonatan Zunger

Ah, but isn't your point that this moment _shouldn't_ be romance, because men should be able to touch each other from time to time? A point I don't disagree with BTW, although I'm not likely to be the first to break the taboos...

Nathaniel Tagg

Claire, sitting straight up: "I SENSE A DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE"

Daniel Farnitano

Is this a Final Fantasy IV reference

YourKingMob

KNOCK OFF THE WILL-THEY/WON'T-THEY BULLSHIT! MY BALLS ARE BLUER THAN ELLIOT'S!

Yelling Bird

I am ready and willing to subscribe to the THEM vs BROS D&D podcast.

Cass

Clinton: "And then I realised I could barely hold him with both hands, and-". Claire: *dies*.

Stephen Wells

I want them in some kind of social group that takes six people. Board game club? D&D group? Bowling league? Minigolf championship? Hockey Team? Volleyball? Something...

GrumpyBot would eat them.

Mark

wow. Jeph's world is like (original) Star Trek, a universe of perfect unself-conscious racial diversity!

jimbo

"Now, zoom in on the hands."

darklion

For me it's Steve at Scoops Ahoy.

Thought: we live in a culture where masculinity is so heavily policed that two men holding hands is just Not Something That Happens without it "seeming gay." A fact which leaves men so often starved for touch. That makes this moment of contact so much more powerful and intimate - for Clinton to take Elliot's hand like that is really meaningful, it's a step he took without thinking because he was so focused on the moment, and all the more genuine for it. Queer romance at its best. I love this. :)

Yonatan Zunger

It's enough to send anyone's heart into overdrive! So Sweet!

David Perez

I would guess she has some kind of affection for her compatriots 'cuz she seems to hang out with them all the time (that we've observed, anyway)...

Douglas E. Smith

This was enough to send my little gay heart into overdrive

JD

Is it tsundere if you're never deredere?

Seth Aaron Hershman has they she pronouns

I love tsundere AI lady so much...:)

Douglas E. Smith

THEM need to gather with the BROS

Rebecca

I cannot hear or read the phrase hello ladies without immediately hearing Val Venus's music in my head

I'm completely on board this ship and will haul up the anchor myself if I have to. I thought the last time we had a hand grab like that it was Faye and Sven, but it was actually Claire and Marten, so...

Daniel S

I want to see this entire arc strictly from their point of view

Bagge

Clinton is still holding Eliot's hand :-)

Somebody Else

That's just their mind-fogging powers.

Captain Button

I knew they were bound to make an appearance.

JD

How long have they been around Northampton? And do any of them know Tai?

Michael Boettger

They remind me of the Bros, who have a similarly unerring instinct for those Bro Moments

Solomon Garland

I feel like Them are the in universe version of the Fates, but maybe that's a reach? Either way, they are truly adorable for always being in the right place for witnessing sweet awkward moments.

Katrina Urmson

I am so delighted by this whole strip

Thomas Halpin

The Bros are for tomorrow's comic

Errol Lobo

Gotta give them a hand. In every sense of the word.

BobC

BRO BRO BRO BRO!

Spacey02111

I can't wait until someone fixes up THEM with The Bros.

Carl Fink

He's not a officially disaster bi until he's singlehandedly forced a Waffle House to close.

schmod

THEY

Joel Bateman

Elliot, in addition to baking bread, apparently is a supplier of lampshades.

Daryl Sawyer

jeph do u want one of your subs to die from being too gay answer quickly

Kurt Lewis

Grumpy Robot Lady needs to learn how to experience joy.

Hambone

The ladies are a big improvement on the bros.

Them? But they don't look like giant ants...

Hugh Eckert

They work at the place Clinton and Elliott had lunch. Sorry, I don't have the strip number

Julie Chan

Ah, the life of a professional witness. :)

Czarzhan

I really need to know who these girls are, if they’re going to be side characters, and if they’re dating each other.

Andrea Andrew

Bad memory fan needs a reminder: who is them?

(heart emoji goes here i'm HERE FOR THIS)

Hajnal Endot

gaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Hajnal Endot

🤣😂😂

Andrew Mitchell

I guess we'll find out if this week's storyline features a rain of frog.

Autographedcat

yay! too socially awkward, but if they just shut up and touch each other, everything will be okay... they will end up making out (or more) by the end of the day.

runrin

I felt such a rush watching Clinton grab Elliot's hand 😍😍 the romantic build up has been super adorable

cakecake

EEEEEEEEEE!

BROS BROS BROS BROS

Scott Vogel

But is it "The Them"? (Sorry too much of a Gaiman fan to miss this one...)

I am loving this storyline to pieces.

Lessthan

This is too realistic a representation of chaotic queer and I love it

Erin Moriarty

BROS BROS BROS BROS!!!!!!!!

Jackie Horn

The bros of the modern era?

I LOVE THEM

Mandy Hoskins

Or true love. Or both!

Ted Van Roekel

First things first: Who do we ship them with?

Joseph Bonnar

Man, Elliot would be so embarrassed if he knew we were here every time too.

Alex Kosnett

What horrific cataclysm will occur if they ever meet Chad, Brad, and Thad?

Captain Button

Panel #3. On the threshold of a revelation: Elliot embarrassed, Clinton processing.

Michael Boettger

I want that twink obliterated.

Just Jupiter (Chelsea)

I relate way too hard to Elliot in this strip ...

Daniel Blom Paulsen

One day Them will meet the Bros and a mighty battle will occur.

Colin McBride

We're gonna need to know all about these three people, thank you very much.

Celine Chamberlin

Careful lads, the humidity in a bakery can effect the bread.

Spoogle McGee

Elliott archetypal disaster bi. <3

lilibat

Grumpy robot lady gets grumpier every time she runs into these dorks!

Grace Kieser

I demand boy kisses

Daniel Burnett

The shippers have come to see the ship!
