Brun stays over and Elliot misunderstands what happens...NEXT. haha
"cookies" - Brun's eyes go BOING.
Not just the eyes, but cherry blossoms also fall.
Mom's a stoner.
WE HAVE A WINNER
Personally, I do my best baking between 1 and 3 AM...
She was making cookies to fuel epic rocking. Simple.
Dammit, Now *I* want cookies, too! :'(
I think that a better way for Clinton to have asked that question would have been: "Do I want to know why you were baking cookies at 1am?"
I'm sure they're supposed to be wrinkles, but it looks like Clinton's mum has a moustache.
I'm wondering if her over-bite is more pronounced than Clinton and Claire's and that's the mark of her upper mandible pressing against her top lip.
Brun knows how best to eat cookies. Always take 2, since 1 will never be enough, you don’t know if you’ll be offered more, and you have 2 hands so why not.
I mostly bake my cookies post or around midnight. You get fresh, chewey cookies in the morning!
Brun in panel 3: "Did she say 'cookies'?" She was making cookies at 1am because her mom sense told her that Clinton would be by with a girl who, but for a little denial, could be his girlfriend. Time for some patented Mrs A interference!
why wouldnt she be making cookies at 1am. When do you make cookies, clinton?
Dammit! You beat me to it! AND you made it better!
Am I the only one who thinks that Clinton and Claire's mom looks way too much like Clair? Add to that never seeing a dad, and I'm starting to suspect cloning. Think about it, complications in her first attempt to artificially sculpt a Y-chromosome result in Claire's Gender dysphoria. A lesson learned and a few more years research, and voila! we get Clinton. (I'm pretty sure the Nerdity and Social awkwardness they both share to varying degrees comes from somewhere further up on mom's Chromosome chart)
That is way too much thinking on your part, but it would make an awesome story arc...
Clinton? Would you prefer your mother be engaged in other activities if you visit her unexpectedly at night?
Why would you NOT bake cookies at 1 am??!
Granted, I'm odd, but more than half of the cookies I bake, I start at least after midnight. I find it is a good use of my time when the insomnia has clearly kicked in.
I'm baking some fine green butter cookies.
Clinton's mom is one of my favorite side characters because of all awesome stuff she's doing every time she shows up.
How did Clinton reach the door-knocker all the way from the bottom of the steps? I MUST KNOW!
Mrs A's Mom Sense told her that Clinton was on the way with a girl that he needed to impress without knowing it. She knew instinctively when he arrived at the door. She's Supermom!
Also, the path to a person's heart runs through their stomach. Might be doubly true in Brun's case (because she has two; the normal one, and a separate one for dessert.)
The way to Brun's heart is through rare and elaborate clocks and it seems like Mrs A has that covered!
If night baking takes place, someone is either a) drunk; b) high; or c) both.
You forgot d) moms
I’m chocoholic. The “Dad stop stealing my chocolate!” Kind of chocoholic. I want chocolate so bad right now. But it’s 5 o’grandfather clock here and I have 2 long hours till I can buy some.
I am a diabetic. Chocolate chip cookies are currently my favorite food. I am forced to spend the rest of my life seeking vengeance on Jeph for this comic making me think about them.
Peggy, that's the hoodie under her jacket.
Why is Brun's jacket a different color in the last panel?
It looks like that was what was under her outer jacket.
We don't know what was going on before Clinton and Brun arrived. Making cookies is a great way to recover from bass guitar practice and bonking.
Midnight cookies: She knows because she has the weirding way.
For years I dealt with my insomnia by teaching myself how to bake. Past midnight baking is the best.
I need to know where this is going right now.
Japan, evidently.
Yeah, he's had "too much beers tonight", alright. ;)
Jeph -- if that's not an intentional slip, then I would definitely leave it in. That is totally the kind of language faux pas that I might make, under those circumstances.
Ms. Augustus is the best mom. At least, when she isn’t sleeping with Clinton’s ex-roommates.
Just be glad you didn't walk in on her with a classmate again, Clinton
Who do you think the cookies were for?
Have a 🍪
By the time you eat this cookie you'll feel right as rain.
Clinton's mum is the best.
I love how Brun asks for permission before looking at the clock.
Well it's rude to just go and stare at someone's clock. I'm sure she's learned that by now.
I’ve baked a night cookie or two, in my life.
I wish I had thought of night cookies earlier in my life.... ;(
