This is pretty much exactly how the first conversation that my husband and I had when we weren't around other friends went. Coming up on 20 years.

Kajsa Anderson

Actually, Claire is a couple years older.

Michael Boettger

They are identical twins, are they not?

I'm not ashamed to admit I have a crush on Clinton

Fabio Neves

Is it my imagination, or is Clinton looking more and more like Claire? Reyn mentioned the teeth, and we've seen the teeth on her, especially when she's talking with Marten.

Michael Boettger

He should publish under pen name "Jimbo".

Daryl Sawyer

If Jeph's reading, little typo in the last panel, should be "against". ;)

Giselle Gauthier

Jeph has given Clinton the cute front-teeth, just like he did when he was warming up Marigold and Claire for relationships. Call me crazy but it's a trend I keep seeing. :3

Reyn Goldfur

Also confirm. :)

Kurt Larson

Am I even in the first fifty people to point out the typo in the last panel? :D

Kurt Larson

am flirtatious nerd, can confirm

Ace

This is *serious* nerd flirting. Getting really excited about your date’s specific nerdery and finding parallels is totally expressing interest in spending a lot of “quality” time together.

Bruce Steinberg

AGREED

Anna Armstrong

MOAR FLIRTS PLZ

Anna Armstrong

This is a pretty standard geek/nerd date if it helps. Infodumping as vulnerability.

Quinn

Not so much as a flirt, Goddammit. :(

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

I need this ship to sail more than any other ship I have shipped in my life. XD

Now the Clinton Cuteness Factor is at like, 13. We're reaching levels previously unknown to science.

Oh my god, Clinton's hair is so cute

Luzahn

It's a VERY deep V cut, like past the nipples deep.

A.A. aka Double

Prussia made me think it was more of a EUIV ref, maybe there's some weird "Europa Kings" series that's a mashup in the QC-niverse.

What did you think of Children of Butts? It was better than Butt Messiah, anyway.

Mark

I can’t help but notice the pick up sign... are they both in the pickup line😜

Jade Stephan

Well, if Eliot talks about a Stellaris-analogue or a magic-analogue the journey into him being my spirit animal will be truly complete

Jade Stephan

The expanse (of butts) is good, but God-Emperor of Butts is still unrivaled.

Evgeniy Semyonov

I love listening to friends nerd out about stuff they're really into, and this is so cute.

Thomas Halpin

I read "shipbuilding tech", and I thought : "Ha, more like 'ship building tech, amirite?" :D

lazymagpie

Jeph, I desperately want to give you money to read your space opera lesbian romance.

Alan

Obligatory "and don't forget the giant moons of Uranus" joke.

Simon Green

I love the CK2 reference from Elliot

Carin Maja Brooks

I miss Alice Grove.

Tim Keating

SEDNA! Alice Grove character cited in QC!!!!!!

Lightsabr2

I was reading this and just going "f**k, Clinton is hella cute here" 😍

thefinaldegree

I'm impressed that Clinton is willing to wear such a low cut shirt. That's got a plunging neckline like a skydiver.

William Taylor

Fair concern

Bagge

I'll be so happy if this works out!

Todd Chaikin

Prussia is formable in CK so it may show up from time to time...

Hteph

Twiddled the "a" and the "g" (looks like he went to the same typing school I went to).

kaitou

Sounds more like CK, The “marry for alliance’ is more explicite there, but Jeph may have a bit of artistic license (or Elliot may RP a bit).

Hteph

lol, Elliot appears to be playing a fictional game that combines elements of CK2 (marriage NAPs) with EU4 (Prussia).

Daryl Sawyer

Except Prussia? Can they show up before EU4?

Daryl Sawyer

Yes. At the bar they were talking about their mutual affection for Brun, and Elliot brought up that there's also a guy he's interested in.

Daryl Sawyer

Sadly no. But I'd point out there is a fanfic thread towards the top of the panel. So if someone would like to take a shot, and if Jeph has no objections.....

Michael Boettger

Ok, did anyone else google if that was a real book series? Just me?

Final panel, Clinton has two "a"s in a row in against, but otherwise this is something I have been waiting almost 1k strips for? So hype.

Alis

she's rich, she's beautiful, she's got huge...planets.

SpookyPenguin

I’m more a Hearts of Iron 4 fan than a Crusader Kings 2 fan ... but, as far as nerd cred goes, it checks out. CK2 has a great Asoiaf mod too, it’s amazing.

Colin

Yeah, it's his right hand, and that was prosthetic in the previous comic.

Tim Eldred

Love the CKII reference but is this a real series of books? If so awesome.

I think Clinton's hand in panel 2 is supposed to be his prosthetic hand no?

Also this marks the 6th comic since we saw May. Time goes so slow in the QCverse.

Matthew Van Gangelen

welp, they're perfect for each other.

runrin

Came for the butts, stayed for the CK2 Let's Play

Alex Thompson

Woo, we Crusader Kings now :D

Just some Fish

I did, but found nothing.

Has it been mentioned in story that Clinton knows he’s bi?

Matthew Van Gangelen

I noticed that too. I was actually wondering if it was supposed to be an accent; "aag-inst" sounds a bit ol timey western to me.

Andrew Mitchell

I see that Alice Grove reference...

TomcatsRevenge

Crusader kings 2 or if you can wait a month Crusader kings 3 from paradox is literally that exact game

Destry Soule

Is it EU4 or CK2? either way, love it!

Kirollos Stadion

Oh God he plays CK2 I love him so mutch more!

Destry Soule

Now I want to play a strategy game featuring dynastic politics, dammit.

Dean Reilly

Anyone else google to see if those books were a thing?

Adam Daw

But would they be as good as a Hot Gulp?

Sean Kinlin

Aaginst sb against. Don’t know if you can fix that before posting or not, jeph.

Lyman Green

What supporter level do I need to be to get access to these books, @Jeph?

Drazi

Just to mention - there's a typo in the last panel - the word "against" has letters transposed.

Sean Kinlin

Just realized. I hope Elliot’s video game budget will be fine when Crusaders King 3 releases in September.

Miyaa

I could go for some COLD DRINKS right now

DVW

Well, the scattered disc is an actual part of the solar system., so....

Michael Boettger

Oh my God Clinton is so cute. Please let this story stay cute and happy.

these two are freaking adorable and omgosh your art is so good Jeph!!

Finley

When my friends and I share RPG stories.

Douglas E. Smith

I absolutely love seeing Elliot's geek side showing, it's utterly adorable and I ship these two so hard.

Samantha Yeaman

Are these actual books, or only in the QCverse?

Raphael Bressel

Do they have to go to the wall to defend against the Oort Federation?

Miyaa

When nerds share their fandoms!

Michael Boettger

YOU MADE CLINTON CUTER
