Renee, the proper answer to Elliot's barb is "Yes, I got invited to *the best kind of parties*." Seriously, ain't no life like the social nerd life.
So glad to see its not a self driving van in that particular stub... Thats the universe I want to be in.
Is this the first time we've seen Elliot *not* nervous around a crush? o.O
Elliot can snark. I like it.
Balanced, as all things should be. Brunos.
In spite of his athletic build and obvious regimen (he mentions "leg day" at least once), Elliot never struck me as a "jock".
"Jocks" are rather diverse, and often overlap with other cliques in sometimes surprising ways. For example, one of my favorite fellow D&D players was also a football player.
Typo in that last panel -- cinammon instead of cinnamon.
Also in strip 4197 (the second time)
And suddenly my high school life makes an appearance... shudder...
Brun, obviously, was popular with the clock people
The clock clique?
The middle seat means you get the stick-shift in the knees. When a girl is there the driver is sometimes provided with an opportunity to touch their thigh... occasionally whether it was his intention or not!
it's a moving truck, there's high chances the stick shift is build into the steering column~
Oh I get the Renee-Brun dynamic now, the "popular girl+dowdy girlfriend" one. Except the dowdy girl never cared about popularity and the popular girl is still deluding herself with it.
*obligatory band camp reference*
Apparently, literature camp was lit.
I didn't even get invited to nerd parties.
Hey, don’t knock being nerd popular. It’s more fun than being “popular-popular.”
+1 for goth
Brun side eye...
followed by rolling eyes. Brun had no clique.
I can see him like taking weight training but never playing in any competitive sports.
Maybe it's because I identify with him a little too much, but I can see him playing one season of football and getting out because he didn't like the violence and conflict.
Hell, I'm nerd popular now. Lucky nerds become engineers.
I didnt even get invited to nerd parties >.> at least until college
Damn, Elliot! Serving some harshbrowns!
Nerd parties were the best.
He ain't wrong. Just Sassy Sauce(tm) rubbing off on him!
I love the spicy cinnamon 😄 also I love nerd parties
Jeph, would you please consider for Halloween this year (or perhaps during Comic-con): QC Characters in Alice Grove cosplay? Elliot is making me think of Mr. Church a little here.
Mr Churchill making an Elliott-blush. That’s hilarious!
Nerd popular must be nice. I wasn't even nerd popular in high school.
I aspired to be nerd popular.
Nerd popular is always fun!
I mean, it was jock or tuba player.
I was never comfortable sitting in the middle seat, especially the back middle seat. Seat belts fasteners are uncomfortable.
Someone dumped a bit extra cinnamon in the roll this morning. <3
That is the least innocent face Elliot has ever made
Oh Elliot.
Ah yes good old nerd popularity
I love Brun's contented face in panel 1.
I was never invited to parties... Not even LAN parties. I had to make those myself.
can't believe a large boy was a jock
How wasn’t he a jock would be my question.
