the expanse (of butts)

I'm not ashamed to admit I have a crush on Clinton
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.
They are identical twins, are they not?
If Jeph's reading, little typo in the last panel, should be "against". ;)
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
Am I even in the first fifty people to point out the typo in the last panel? :D
MOAR FLIRTS PLZ
Not so much as a flirt, Goddammit. :(
This is a pretty standard geek/nerd date if it helps. Infodumping as vulnerability.
I need this ship to sail more than any other ship I have shipped in my life. XD
AGREED
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
I can’t help but notice the pick up sign... are they both in the pickup line😜
Well, if Eliot talks about a Stellaris-analogue or a magic-analogue the journey into him being my spirit animal will be truly complete
The expanse (of butts) is good, but God-Emperor of Butts is still unrivaled.
What did you think of Children of Butts? It was better than Butt Messiah, anyway.
I love listening to friends nerd out about stuff they're really into, and this is so cute.
I read "shipbuilding tech", and I thought : "Ha, more like 'ship building tech, amirite?" :D
Jeph, I desperately want to give you money to read your space opera lesbian romance.
He should publish under pen name "Jimbo".
I love the CK2 reference from Elliot
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.
SEDNA! Alice Grove character cited in QC!!!!!!
I miss Alice Grove.
I'm impressed that Clinton is willing to wear such a low cut shirt. That's got a plunging neckline like a skydiver.
It's a VERY deep V cut, like past the nipples deep.
Fair concern
I'll be so happy if this works out!
lol, Elliot appears to be playing a fictional game that combines elements of CK2 (marriage NAPs) with EU4 (Prussia).
Prussia is formable in CK so it may show up from time to time...
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.
Twiddled the "a" and the "g" (looks like he went to the same typing school I went to).
she's rich, she's beautiful, she's got huge...planets.
Obligatory "and don't forget the giant moons of Uranus" joke.
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.
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?
Yeah, it's his right hand, and that was prosthetic in the previous comic.
Also this marks the 6th comic since we saw May. Time goes so slow in the QCverse.
welp, they're perfect for each other.
Came for the butts, stayed for the CK2 Let's Play
Woo, we Crusader Kings now :D
Except Prussia? Can they show up before EU4?
Has it been mentioned in story that Clinton knows he’s bi?
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.
I see that Alice Grove reference...
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).
Is it EU4 or CK2? either way, love it!
Oh God he plays CK2 I love him so mutch more!
Now I want to play a strategy game featuring dynastic politics, dammit.
Crusader kings 2 or if you can wait a month Crusader kings 3 from paradox is literally that exact game
Anyone else google to see if those books were a thing?
I did, but found nothing.
Aaginst sb against. Don’t know if you can fix that before posting or not, jeph.
What supporter level do I need to be to get access to these books, @Jeph?
Just to mention - there's a typo in the last panel - the word "against" has letters transposed.
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.
Just realized. I hope Elliot’s video game budget will be fine when Crusaders King 3 releases in September.
I could go for some COLD DRINKS right now
But would they be as good as a Hot Gulp?
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!!
When my friends and I share RPG stories.
I absolutely love seeing Elliot's geek side showing, it's utterly adorable and I ship these two so hard.
Are these actual books, or only in the QCverse?
Well, the scattered disc is an actual part of the solar system., so....
Do they have to go to the wall to defend against the Oort Federation?
When nerds share their fandoms!
