Subjective Taste
I see you, Brun

This is off topic, but does anyone have a link to the guest comic Jeph ran years ago that was a silent, black and white line drawing comic that told the story of Wozzeck using QC characters? I've been trying to find it and can find no reference to it. I think there might have even been a poster of it at some point.
When i was a cheap-ass student in college, and broke, after a party (after which there was nearly always a six-pack left of some crappy beer someone had brought, but ignored as they drank our Good Beer) we would make Beer Bread. If you keep cheap staples around the house, like flour, you can whip up some Beer Bread anytime. It's better with the Good Beer, but you can make it with any kind. Would be hilarious if Brun - who likes bread products and worked in a bar - has that one special gift - Beer Bread.
FYI <a href="http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/beer-bread-73440" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/beer-bread-73440</a> just a few ingredients - self-rising flour, sugar, butter, 1 12 oz can of beer. TIP: SIFT THE FLOOR to make the 3cup measure. I also added garlic and herbs. Sometimes grated cheese if i had any. I used brown sugar. Or honey if that's all i had. Try it regular recipe first, then experiment
I've never actually tried soda bread (weird I know as I'm like 70% Irish/Scots Irish)... Is it really that bad?
It is much better fresh out of the oven and still warm. It does not retain moisture so well as a yeast bread, and it gets stale quickly. On the other hand, you can whomp up a fresh batch any time, because it is quick and easy.

Haha, I forgot that Elliot knows she has a bread fetish, which actually makes this 10x cuter somehow bc look at how innocent Clinton is.
You know what would drive Roko absolutely meltinecstacy wild? Real true potato bread. Fragrant, as tender-grained as angel food cake, as warm as a grandmothers cuddle.
Brun in that last panel gives me life.
I've been looking at panel 1 again and meditating on how ironic it is that ELLIOT of all people is thinking of others as 'cute when they're naive'.
Panel 1 is probably the cutest thing ever imo
Okay, so any desire to try soda bread just evaporated along with Clinton's enthusiasm. It's interesting that Clinton has noticed that there is something weird going on vis Roko and bread but is still assuming that what she said to him a few dozen strips back about feeding birds is factual. I'm not sure if that makes him naive or polite! Of course, Elliott knows the reality and I get the feeling that he's genuinely conflicted about whether he should tell Clinton! Finally, I see that Brun is desperately working towards winning the 'cutie of the week' award!
Silly Clinton, soda bread's for rubbing on your butt, not for eating! Right, Roko?
Looks like he may have just figured that out on his own!
So, what is the lock of Clinton's hair called? And has anyone noticed it doing that before? I mean, it almost seems sentient there in panel #4....
Oh, I just figured it out -- it must be called "Clintlock". ;)
Better sell this one, Clinton
Clinton lying to spare Elliot's feelings is adorable. Elliot letting Clinton think she's really feeding the birds is adorable. Clinton and Elliot are adorable. Now that the Faybles ship has launched, we are in construction of a new ship... Taking name suggestions. I'm leaning toward Elton 😛
I want Brunelton. Not sure if Jeph is going to go that far off the social norms highway, though...
Must be a dry kind of bread.
...and bees?

Got a non-FB link for that?
Typo in tag line? "You could JUT ask, Brun."
Soda bread is def not for everyone
In the Upper Midwest it's called pop bread
Is it called coke bread in the South?
Poor Elliot.
At least now he knows that Clinton can suppress his gag reflex really good (yes, I'm going to burn in hell for this joke).
Brun really looking thirsty...er, hungry in that last frame.
That's her 'Indiana Jones is trying to fool the pressure plate' expression.
I love the hair wilt. Lol.
Basilik's bread fetish is my favorite developing storyline after faye and bubbles.
I love that Jeph still draws visual gags like it's 2003 and we're going to make them into LiveJournal userpics. I also love that these comments immediately became Soda Bread Opinion Central. (I'll have your soda bread, dear, I love it!)
Yes, love me that soda bread...
Gay couple or riot
Soda bread can be reeeealy dry if it’s not totally perfect. And also when it’s totally perfect. Definitely plays well with butter.
Oh yeah, raw soda bread is just....bleh....you gotta have some jam or butter to put on that stuff
EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP BEING SO CUTE
That first panel tho, the way Elliot's looking at Clinton like he's a naive little marshmallow. It's too cute.
