So Clinton's mom is the leader of the Boros Guild?
Cosmo has the face of an ant eater o3o
collar?
It's in there, somewhere...
Also: best name ever
I can see the family resemblance (in awkwardness)
Honestly, I'm impressed she managed to censor herself before she called him a hunk.
cosmo makes everything better 🥰
Not aurelia's cooking
aurelia, say "thank you Cosmo" for saving you from an awkward situation.
Wow, what a name for her!. Really leaning into that roman theme. Named for the mother of the first roman emperor, lets hope the name has no foreshadowing.
Well, the Ides of March isn't (aren't?) far off…
Thanks Jeph, a lovely name for a lovely lady!
I see that Claire and Clinton come by their complete lack of chill honestly
Aurelia Augustus, great-niece of infamous (and deceased) gold mogul Auric Goldfinger and no-one has ever formally cleared her father of being involved in his uncle's attempt to nuke Fort Knox. There is a reason why Steve is in Northampton.
Aurelia is a known appreciator of college-age jock types, perhaps that's what she didn't expect? 🤔
i fully expect her next words were going to be the effect of hunk/hottie. 90% sure I am straight and I Would at least give Eliot a chance...
Also, Cosmo and Hercules should be friends.
No one has ever called Elliot an Aurelia before, and he's not sure how he feels about it.
POINTY BOI!
Elliot and Aurelia need to become an item ASAP.
Alright, someone get the horny bat and give Aurelia here a bonk.
...you know, I just realized that someone who wasn't familiar with that meme would interpret "bonk" differently.
COSMO: "This one is mine. I'm keeping him." This whole arc would demand that the Augustus matriarch get a name. This is as good as any and I'm sort of surprised her name didn't start with 'C'.
It is a good sign that Clinton Mom isn't salivating. Yet.
Right now, she's far too busy feeling horribly embarrassed.
I love this page for many reasons. Also, the ad provider for the QC webpage is serving a browser hijacking pretending to be tech support again.
I never see those any more, thanks to AdBlock. :)
congrats Jeph. you actually got me to join on Patreon in order to see the next comic. well done.
BIG BOI HOLD BIG DOGGO LIKE BABY IM CRY
STOP MAKING ELLIOT CUTER No, wait. The other thing. Keep on making him cuter!
Yes!
While everyone assumes she is named for Roman emperors or whatnot, as the resident car guy, I’m going to assume she was named for the Lancia Aurelia, built from 1950 to 1958. The B20 coupe and B24 spyder and convertible (worth over a million US$ these days) are especially sexy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancia_Aurelia
Beautiful car! Nevertheless, I assume she is named after Julius Caesar's mom.
so clearly they get their panicky, desperate flailing and run-on sentences from their mother
Elliot + animals = awwwwwwwwwww
We were waiting to get my borzoi pup Jaspar (@jaspar_borzoi) when Cosmo was introduced in the strip and my heart sings a bit every time she shows up.
I'll say it again, MAKE COSMO THE NEW PROTAGONIST
Cosmo was the real protagonist all along. Everything prior to Cosmo was simply prologue.
Clinton better move quick before his mom takes his man
HAIL COSMO
All the love to Cosmo!
Maybe put a collar on Cosmo before you put a bell on the collar?
There is a collar it's just hidden under ALL the fluff.
Cosmo loves cinnamon rolls.
Such a... Hunk? Obvious himbo? Tall glass of water? Giant man who is obviously a bottom? Gorgeous man who I probably shouldn't sleep with because my son is interested in him?
The last one. :)
okay everybody let's place bets, everybody. Did Clinton forget to come out to his mother/ is Aurelia (sick name reveal btw) tendency to "hook up" with college-age guys who look like Elliot showing up and this is just "oh what the heck he's hot"/ or boring answer is this just her reacting to his height.
Oh man, I feel like it could be #1 AND #2! Hahah good point about Aurelia and college age boys
Cosmo likes him, so he gets to stay. That's how it works.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree in the Augustus house.
Clinton holding Cosmo is the cutest thing <3
Wouldn't the kicker be that Clinton and Claire have a Ceaser in the family line. Double points if it was their dad!
Such happy. Much wag. Cosmo approves!!
Eeeeeeeeeeee
Ninja Dog.
Helicopter tail , engage!
Aww sweet puppy! <3
Dogs are good.
Love Claire’s graduation picture
Pretty recent, like when she got her B.A.?
Oh i wish to hold the long doge
She's named like a roman emperor and has a thing for guys built like greek gods. And after pulling on the emergency brake, has mostly salvaged this train wreck of an introduction. Good on ya miss Augustus.
Umm, do affairs with Greek Gods ever end well? Asking for a friend.
How much do you want to bet that Willow is the actual delivery person?
Still rooting for the triumphant return of Pizza Girl...
the other day when elliot and yay were talking things over, i was like 'wouldn't it be funny if clinton's mom meets elliot and they fall for each other? cuz hijinks would ensue...' commence hijinks.
no
Now, just what was she going to say she hadn’t expected when she cut herself off?
Hunka hunka burning cinnamon roll?
You realize you're at a certain age when you're crushing on the characters mom....
For me it was the school nurse in Megatokyo.
is her middle name "Borealis" ?
I would die for cosmo
Your comment reminds me of one by Gomez Addams: I would kill for you! I would DIE for you! (Either way, what bliss!)
Aurelia Augustus. Jeph. Did you really have to go for the Absolutely Awesome Alliteration.
Technically assonance. Which isn't a word that means someone making a reply like this, as much as it seems cognate to it.
Is she actually an immortal Roman Empress or something?
She is now! ;-)
Someone's parents had a thing for ancient Rome! (Or maybe just Latin I guess)
The family name "Augustus", also a throw back to ancient Rome. And Aurelius means "golden".
lookit that tail go 🤩
Now we know! Another name added to the shipping logs!
The dog likes him. That's always a good sign!
Like Cosmo wasn't going to like him, how absurd.
Cosmo!!
There is a A LOT of Clair (Claire? Clare? I cant recall specific spelling) in this post and I A P P R O V E
I see the clear relation to Clair. XD
IKR!
Cosmo!
Even pointy dogs love our cinnamon roll.
Clinton has dibs, Aurelia!
Just what I was thinking,.... too bad this is a family feel good strip,.....
Cosmo has never been safer.
Hi Aurelia!
