Renee Tries
Comments (49)
People like Elliot (relative to Rene) are why I feel like one of the most profound insights into human sexuality can be found in a line from Kindergarten Cop: "Boys have a penis; girls have a vagina." I mean, come on. Men and women are going to be attracted to each other. That doesn't mean they can't be friends. That doesn't mean it's a tragedy if their feelings don't coincide. That doesn't mean that men are creeps and women are sluts. Sexual tension is a given in any male/female relationship, regardless of what society says is appropriate (because genetics and memetics are two entirely different information sets), and it's up to us to use our *brains* to decide when to act upon it, and when not to.
First of all: some girls have penises, some boys have vaginas. Second of all: I have friends who are male and friends who are female and even some non-binary friends, too! I am female and pansexual. I'm not attracted to the majority of my friends, whether sexually or romantically. Sexual tension is absolutely not a given. There was nothing profound in anything you stated. It was actually pretty shallow.
Renee: "Both of us know bla bla" Elliot: internal monologue: "WAIT WHAT?!"
In all honesty, If Elliott doesn't know already, he's the least perceptive person in the Universe, after this: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3441
Elliot/ Renee then Clinton/Elliot then Brun/Elliot dont @ me 😤
I was once in a relationship where I occupied some approximation to Elliot's role, and my partner was a reasonable facsimile of Renee. I agree with her in the next strip that it would be a Bad Idea.
probably best to say "i'm attracted to you," at some point in the past, rather than leading with "we both know i'm attracted to you, right?" renee
Part of me kind of thinks Renee would be better for Elliot than Brun. Then again, I also think Clinton and Emily would be a good couple to explore again, so what do I know?
That chest touch lol
I wonder how much too long it was :D
I am 100% like Elliot in this strip and I don't know if that's good, bad, or indifferent.
This is the best story arc. Thank you so much for this tasty food!!
"only Eliot has shown interest in more than one other character," 😆🤣
Sorry to stifle poly ships, but only Eliot has shown interest in more than one other character, neither of which have shown romantical interest in him. This strip is more about Renee letting slip HER interest in Eliot. It remains to be seen, of course, if Eliot can reciprocate that.
If Brun and Clinton (and Renee for that matter) each ended up with Elliot and only Elliot, it would still be poly
I don't see Clinton being into guys. I just don't. I do think he would let him down easy tho.
"Always figured I was straight but I guess if I met the right dude, why not, right?" - Clinton Augustus, comic #3710. Followed by accidentally flirting with Elliot. -Again-.
The Polycule train has arrived...
as far as I can tell, Renee doesn't really do "not-weird"
If Renee could have just held off on the big puppy eyes, she might have passed off the hand on the tum. The combo, however...
You go girl! You gotta swing or you can't hit!
Jeph, if they all don't realize the love potential here on their own soon, I think you gotta foursome to.
At least she stopped talking about ankles. Was getting a little hot and bothered there.
YES! COULD THE SHIP BE ON THE HORIZON?!? COULD WE BE SEEING THE START OF A POLY SHIP ON QUESTIONABLE CONTENT!! I NEED TO KNOW!!!
Patience, grasshopper. All will be revealed in time. :)
I don't get Brun and Eliot, he admires her but doesn't talk to her socially really on any level. Clinton and her text and have fun socially. Clinton seems to take a genuine interest in things that interest Brun and he finds out these things by talking to her. Eliot just watches from afar and gets tid bits from Renee. Coming from a person that is very much an Eliot himself, Clinton is definitely trying a bit harder in the right ways to develop something with her.
I was going to use Brad the sourdough starter as an example of Elliot bonding with Brun, but then remembered that that was him bonding with *Roko* instead... https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3961
ALL ABOARD THE SHIP
If this doesn't end in a polytriad I am going to be so disappointed.
i sense poly stuff coming. its really all this comic is missing.
I'd love to see it. If that's the way this goes then I trust Jeph to do it justice.
Eliot's threshold of weird is the smallest of anyone in this comic. He's OK with the harpoon, but not with the friendship.
Probably cause she took the chance for an ab feel
Renee is the driver in this bad Mario Party love game between her, Elliot, Brun, & Clinton. We’re talking like Mario Party 10 bad.
Oh, look, it's me. Though with less actual progress. It's official, Renee is my spirit animal.
Okay, while there is definitely a part of me that would Love the Brun / Eliot / Clinton trio relationship, it's hard to imagine Brun jumping into the deepest part of the ocean, when she regularly forgets her snorkel. I'm just saying a three way relationship is based on communicating. Is that Brun"s strongest trait?
I'm autistic and autistic people can navigate and communicate in poly relationships. Brun has shown ability to navigate and communicate just fine.
Just a tad. A smidgen on the weird side.
Roko might explode thinking of a cinnamon roll.
Roko might like Elliot. He has been declared both a cinnamon roll and a muffin. He's certainly pastry at this point.
At times like this, Renee can be very trying.
Renee is such a sweet half-considerate jerk friend, I love her
At least her hand was appropriately placed...
Jeph, can we have a spin off comic of Elliot just Ellioting through things in the most precious way?
I second this idea.
Poor Renee. It's good that Elliot is such a sweetie. But she just keeps putting her foot in it. (Remember the bakery?)
Something stirs....
Also, Renee is adorable. Everyone's been loving on Eliot so much, let's not forget how much a good, caring, and wonderful friend Renee is.
Progress?
