SMS LOL

Now that got weird fast

onitake

I think he said he's only a bouncer one or two nights a week.

Morgan

I was having a horrible day and seeing this made me squuuueeeee audibly

That was a wonderful chat conversation. Go Hercules!!

Wild Card

Hercules no.

Hugh Eckert

Is Elliot Canadian?

Tim Eldred

This is basically me and my current love interest. Our texting habits are strange and amusing.

Terra the Lioness

I am totally Clinton with the woman I'm seeing.

Derrik Pates

I am in this comic.

Daniel Blom Paulsen

Elliot is literally me when I was still early stages with my partner XD

Rat Mann

I text from computer most of the time and get cat input

Diana

This is going well

Nicolas Demers

I'd imagine he's messaging on a laptop rather than a phone to get that kind of input from a hungry kitty.

Solomon Garland

Hmm...Elliot must be SMSing from a laptop/desktop, or has an external keyboard for his phone or tablet. Cat paws tend to register as a double-fingered tap on touch surfaces, so this kind of cat typing is pretty much impossible on a modern smartphone. My all time favorite bit of cat typing was when I searched for a pharmacy's phone number, and when I got back in the room from calling them (I tend to pace when I have to do a real call), I found "klllllllr4465tttyyyy4444444444" in the search bar after the name of the pharmacy. I'm still not certain if Stella was trying to tell me about how she escaped a 'killer kitty' or if she was the killer. This was in the first month after my family adopted her, which made it more creepy.

Flirting goes.... fine?

Bagge

This is going great!

Lisa

Clinton and Elliot are both having a time of it aren't they. Hercules is best boy.

Onedavewreckingcrew

It occurs to me that bouncing at a bar plus having a baking job could be really difficult for having friends (or partners) who have a 9-5...

Natalie Wagner

All that was found of Elliott were a few shards of gnawed bone, stripped of all their flesh, and a thoroughly chewed phone.

Summer Sudbrink

Yeah, I worry about that and hope someone else can give Elliot a swift kick soon.

Richard Riley

Does Elliot use VoiceToText of some sort? Also, totally busted on the <3 Emoji

MiaKitty

Clinton while being totally new to the idea that he is actually bi is simultaneously going to have to completely manage Elliot's emotions for him and it looks like it is going to be a lot.

Clifton Royston

Elliot bought his phone second hand from Steven Wright. It has no backspace.

Elliot replies "I also like cats <3

Paxxie

Strong queer energy from Elliot. I'm so here for it.

Poor Clinton

Allison Hastings

Yay is monitoring this exchange and screenshotting all of Hercules' texts.

Summer Sudbrink

/s?

Fuzzy Logik

Maybe a Poly?

Chuck Dee

There was a recent xkcd about why SMS will never die

gatherer818

Really sad that the Brun and Elliot ship is sinking

Evan

I can't tell if Elliot tried to make an excuse for cry typing, if Hercules is trying to swat the phone out of his hand, or if Elliot is flinching as he types because he doesn't want to put the phone down! It's probably none of those things.

Kriss Pang

Does Elliot is bottom?

Carin Maja Brooks

Clinton is an iPhone and Elliot is an Android.. actually that checks out

I would never have guessed that Elliot was a bottom

Carin Maja Brooks

And after that Steve eating cereal?

Suzanne Soy

Next comic is just four panels of Elliot trying to wrestle his phone away from Hercules.

Auros Harman

(Elliott totally meant the heart)

Morgyn

Kitty of the week in every keyboard smashers' poll!

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!! With Elliot and Renee living in the same town I am SHOCKED they have destroyed it yet from their combined awkward clumsiness.

Shawn K. Younkin

They have SMS in the future??? Yes, of course they do, it will be around FOREVER. Also, that's relationship progress, I guess.

Andrew Mitchell

YAY Clinton making a move! WOOHOO!

I have never felt a truer statement. I AM hurcules!!

Tell a frien, what does the rocket ship mean? Hmmmm?

Ngl the assumed keysmash in panel 2 raised my heart rate significantly

Jane the Inscrutable

It's all possible!

"Should.. I call someone?"

oh that FACE

Tamara Macadam

🚀🚀🚀

Joanna

That happened to my mom once when she was looking at a post on Facebook. The cat walked on the keyboard and commented with a bunch of random stuff. People were convinced my mom was trolling but she was mortified and had me help her delete it.

Celine Chamberlin

I think this ship is making progress? Lmao

Aditya Rameshan

Ok, consider me a convert from a die-hard Brun/Clinton shipper.

My cat is also named Hercules

The Shadow's Lair

Glad to see these might make some progress. Elliot IS a cinnamon bun, isn't he? Maybe bring Hercules to work and have him give Clinton the once over?

Michael Boettger

Soooo glad to see this thread being picked up again. Can't wait to see what's next!

Jeffrey Anderson

Hercules, Hercules, Hercules!

Michael

WHY AM I BOTH OF THESE BOYS RIGHT NOW

Emmu Lah

Okay now I REALLY related to Elliot: typos, awkward/accidental flirting, emoji use, cats disrupting my lifestyle because they're mad about a diet

A.A. aka Double

Well bless my soul, Herc was on a roll.

Terry Parry

OMG Dying

David F

Shhh, no one saw me do it. 😆🤣😂

Haunted Hermit

At least he didn't assume they could hangout while Elliot was working.

Michael

Elliott, you have to send him a picture of Hercules now. It is the law

Fart Captor

Hercules demands snacc

Herc damn it

R L

Anybody else on mobile try to tap the texts like they were screenshots?
