Give A Fig

The guy I started dating at a summer job had gotten a Blue Apron trial kit but couldn't cook. I cooked it for him, and that started our relationship

Carin Maja Brooks

Why did i read panel 4 in Gronk's voice?

Marc Tabor

Elliot in panel 4 is how I feel when I try dating.

Josh Moberly

Go Elliot !!!!

Saibh

Simmer 500ml of ruby port until it's reduced by 50%. Add 50g of white sugar, stir. Should now be a moderate syrup. Add 100g each of raspberries, halved strawberries, and blackberries. Simmer until fruit is softened. Serve over sponge cake with good quality vanilla bean ice cream. Also goes great over waffles, pound cake, pancakes, etc, but angel food soaks it in better.

Ted Van Roekel

sure as heck would work on me

Grumpy Bird

Anyone else nodding along because they've done this, and succeeded in landing their beloved with mad cooking skillz?

Ruth Merriam

Did Elliot borrow Renee's apron or something? Seems like it's barely longer than his shirt.

It may be incontrovertible evidence, but it's certainly not a flattering way to talk about it.

Some Ed

I'd ship a fresh frozen loaf of pre-sliced sourdough for an autographed printout or something.

Daryl Sawyer

Lmao, boy do I know that feel.

Daryl Sawyer

Penem et circenses

Ace

see the thing that makes me happy about this is that this is the first incontrovertible sign Clinton has given Elliot that he is *actually* potentially interested, and that he wasn't just being polite when he said "I'm thinking about it"! I hope Elliot picks up on it.

Danielle Church

Sly Elliot is sly ... Briefly

Sorastro

The best kind of surprise 'bun in the oven' to come across while dating.

I am convinced there's a penis/panis joke in here somewhere ...

Daniel Blom Paulsen

Elliot makes me think of the large owner of the General Store/Sauna from Frozen.

"I have the low ground! You cannot not defeat me now!"

Stephen Wells

In actual chemistry we call it "steric hindrance" :)

Stephen Wells

I LOL'd ... 🤣

Martin Trebuch

Elliot secretly does pro wrestling under the moniker of Stone Ground.

Stephen Wells

Their chemistry is awkwardness! :-)

*Another* bread-based attraction? ....Starting to wonder about you Jeph... :-)

David Pipes

Its already Valley of the Penis at this rate

Da Nargh!!

Just kiss?

Todd Ellner

I simply would like these dummies to kiss please

KHawk

❤️ The ship is sailing!!! *heavy breathing*

Jimmy Thorsell

Glad Clinton thinks about potential relationships like math feels relatable

Bacon Lord

What hiding spot? She's sitting at one of the tables, eating bread like a good customer. It's not her fault that Clinton completely failed to see her there.

Some Ed

Smooth Operatorrrrrrrrr.....

MikeT

*Finishes strip* Never mind, we are back to our usual business

Bagge

Wow. Eliot is suave.

Bagge

Good lord it's like they're trying to out-bottom each other.

Daniel S

His weighing/calculating of the pro's and con's of a relationship with Elliot

Paul Britt

Just the process of making a decision, weighing the pros and cons. Doing the "math." Clinton is basically saying that despite trying to walk it back, Elliot's semi-joking come on was actually pretty convincing.

David Jackson

Clinton be like, “shit, you right”

EnterTheHero

Personal calculus? What does that mean?

Brent

Same.

William Cole

We see what you did there.

William Cole

Hrm... Toss a Fig to your Clinton? Kinda fits in.

Karvil

NOW KISS

Will Weaver

We’re at the point when Claire pops out from her hiding spot and scream “Kiss already you dolts!”

Miyaa

This has happened to me too, and I am still baking for both of them.

Bruce

I love their expressions in the last panel. So very typical of them.

Hugh Eckert

Ah yes the gay panic I love to see.

dstayton

I once got a girlfriend based in part on my baking skills.

Jeph in the third panel you forgot to draw Clinton's thought bubble of Clinton and Elliot saying "I do" at their wedding

Somebody Else

Never thought i would see Elliot make the 😏 face

I am the captian now

Nah, he acts a lot like me when I'm hot for someone, and I already know I'm gay.

Ace

I mean... I'd let him bake for me for the rest of my life.

John Fiala

Elliot in panel two is extremely sex guy.

Gary Walker

And Roko will be incredibly jealous!

awgiedawgie

Roko, fig loaf and bread egg. Crumbs everywhere!

Dean Reilly

Is this Faye/Bubbles 2.0? If so, awesome!

Andrea Andrew

In Maya Rudolph voice “they’re gonna have sex on a bed made of bread, y’all!”

James C

You laugh at his bread skills, but I'm here to say, if you provide me with top quality Sourdough or Pugliese on regular basis then I'm willing to date you.

Bartley J Drood

NOW TRY THE DATE BREAD uwu

Magic Chopstick Games

Honestly I just don't think Clinton is attracted to Elliot. He might be open to an Achillean relationship, but he isn't flirting, seems oblivious, and isn't at all enthusiastic. Elliot deserves better.

The World Famous Chocomerican

Definitely worth factoring in.

The World Famous Chocomerican

***BABY***

Tamara Macadam

The aftermath of the inevitable threesome with Roko is going to be hilariously uncomfortable.

Simon Green

Once the hook is taken, it is important to pull gently to set it, and NOT immediately yank and rip it out! Patience, Elliot, patience.

BobC

Too bad him and Roko don't seem to line up that way.

Fuzzy Logik

I love Elliot <3

Onyx

CUTE LOVE IT

dirtknight

so domestic. adorable

runrin

Just kiss already!

Daniel Burnett

Not necessarily giving up, just expanding beyond…

Hedgie

So that's what it takes to get Forward Elliot: get him excited about bread

Nicolas Demers

Must be amazing bread to have him considering giving up on women

Yahsho Jinn

"Hmmmm... I'm not sure I'm bi, but that's some damn good bread!"

Grace Kieser

Basilisk is steaming in the corner watching this interaction

LorettaYoungSilks

I almost did a spittake reading this, why is Elliot so relatable. I really hope these two work out, their dynamic is just perfect

Because even jaded old sinners like me remember being that innocent, and love it.

Ted Van Roekel

Some very good Elliot faces in this one

Peter Jensen

SOMEONE HIT HIS RESET BUTTON!!!!!!

Jackie Horn

Said Conan, gesturing with a dagger.

Ted Van Roekel

Good Lord! Why do I blush at Elliot blushing?!

Smoooooth. Honestly, it WAS pretty smooth, Elliot of course had a freak out. Just chill Elliot and trust Clinton.

Shawn K. Younkin

:3

Fart Captor

"Through his stomach" indeed.

Meghan

Clinton is clearly piecing together what we've all known for awhile.

Jason

A confession from Elliot. And Clinton is thinking seriously about this. After all this drama, they are going the best couple. Assuming things, that is.

Michael Boettger

Smooth

Christy Brown

Yeah, but that means that Clinton would have to test taste all of Elliot’s experiments and ‘breads of the week’. And we know that there are some he doesn’t like. Or maybe that’s good, because Elliot would know that Clinton is being honest.

Thisguy

Clinton's like: "The man makes a good case"

He was high on compliments, he had no idea what he was doing.

Michael

These idiots (fond sigh).

Edward Clayton Andrews

Ugh it hurts me how much I want this to happen.

Yesss! If Elliot still wants to hit on Clinton, that means we are a go right!?

SingingTurtles

Elliot! You big soft-boy. Ya too dang thristy for your own good.

Randi Hart

Panel 4 Elliot is me every time I say anything to somebody I am potentially interested in

Cody Renton

Come on! He’s a catch! TAKE THE PLUNGE!

Morgan Bauman

I like saucy elliott

Corpus Callosum

Ship has finished boarding, setting sail!

thefinaldegree

Nice
