Old news at this point but Marten and Eliot seem to have similar tastes? First they both liked Padma and now the Augustus siblings, who look pretty similar. Idk what my point is but this stuff cute as hell
Elliot is Himbo Marten
I laughed a lot at the last panel. XD
Not sure if this topic’s been raised, but does Clinton’s hand have a vibrate function?
Depending on how the hand is designed, you might just need a FIRMware update.
I'd just like to say EEEEEeeeeeEEEEEEEeeee. Thank you.
hahaha she might as well have shouted ''go fuck boys'' XD Aurelia is best mom <3
So, Aurelia has just worked out that Clinton and Elliot have gone upstairs to have sex. It will be interesting to see how her cool handles that!
I don't think Clinton actually lives with his Mom anymore, which would make that extremely unlikely in my mind. Actually, the fact that it's his parents house makes that extremely unlikely in my mind period -- people tend not to flaunt their sexuality at home. Leftover teenage hangups.
If Elliott comes down stairs kind of wide eyed and mumbling something about "that's like a damned baguette!" we'll know something happened.
“What’s up, Aurelia? You never come for poker night” “That’s odd, because this isn’t the first time in my expistence that I have chosen to exercise basic decorum”
And remember, subtext is just an anagram for buttsex!
OMG IT IS!!! HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE O_O
Aurelia is the most adorable mom.
Downstairs, Aurelia gets it. Upstairs, Clinton also gets it.
Well, you win the internet today :-D
In tomorrow's strip, Clinton is showing Elliot his Magic: the Gathering cards.
Scandalous!
Yeesh. Poor girl, you gotta feel bad for her.
Somewhere, Steve just poured a bowl of cereal
We're definitely getting a Steve strip tomorrow.
If awkwardness could be converted to electricity, Augustus family could've easily moved humanity up a notch on a Kardashev scale.
subtext is just buttsex with the letters mixed up
I thought this a silly comment... Until I realized, it's true! We must spread the word.
Jeph quit trolling us
So how will Aurelia react? Will she over-correct? Will she go hide? Will she combine them somehow? Will Clinton just get a text that she "had to leave because the groceries she ordered for tomorrow are currently on fire, and it'll be all night so they should let themselves out because she won't be back tonight?"
I adore the walking disastertastrophe that is Aurelia 😂
disastrophe!
Oh my. The blushing is so cute!
I, for one, am looking forward to Clinton harnessing his AI message board aggression to dom our soft boy!
Inviting him up to his room, eh? :3
Love it LMAO
I love Aurelia, she's absolute chaos
And the lightbulb turns on, Aurelia
I see in the first panel where Claire gets it from
That is an aspect of Claire that we haven't seen in quite a while!
Next thought: “Oh no I turned Clinton’s room into a BDSM room”

Now we get a 30 comic mini-arc featuring Marigold, Dale, and Momo discussing anime. In QC, a watched ship never sails...
And we’d LIKE it. We’d be all, MOMO! MARIGOLD! We missed you so much!
SO CLOSE
Is it just me or is some of the coloring a bit different since switching to the new workflow? Clinton's red cheeks in this one & the previous one, the delivery bag before that... The gradient has speckles in it.
When Elliott gets around to teaching Clinton how to bake, I'll be very disappointed if it's not along the lines of the pottery scene in Ghost.
The Health Inspector will not approve.
Aurelia has gotten rid of all that stuff and the room has been turned into a well-stocked pastry kitchen.
Wait, are they gonna kiss up there? Is that what's happening?
but what if Aurelia got rid of Clinton's stuff whatever will they do then
"Well, Eliot, that stuff's gone, but here's something I've had since I was a kid" [unzips pants]
Hey Jeph, I just want to say congrats on hitting 12,000 patrons! I've been following the comic for about 10 years and I'm really happy that there's other people who are just as proud of you as I am. Keep up the good work, you goddamned beautiful bastard!
I am definitely in the "NOW KISS" boat. But I'm also just really interested to see which direction things go from here even if no smooching happens (yet). I've been very curious if Clinton will need to take things slowly since he's never been interested in a guy before and this is new to him. (We don't even know if he's had much experience with girls either, lol.) It's been somehow refreshing to see this unfold and I can't even put my finger on why..? Edit: gonna lmao if after musing all that, things escalated as fast as Faye and Bubbles.
I feel like a lot of things I've read seem to focus on lesbian couples instead of gay men, maybe that's why?
One of the things I love about this strip is that I can read it with the headcanon that Aurelia's "he's such a nice boy" comment and smile is a clear indication that she's aware of the feelings between Clinton and Eliot (especially given that she said exactly the same thing about Marten when Claire brought him home), and that the only thing that she was unaware of was just that the conversation about baking had subtext. And I really love that characterization.
They gunna do the do?
WHAT DID I SAY LAST TIME
I love that he’s gotten twinkier over the years 😂
I know, right? Think of the uptight douchewad who freaked out Hanners. Our boy has evolved. (We can probably thank Brun for some of that emotional growth.)
Picking up subtext on sonar, Captain...
SUBTEXT LEADS TO BUTTSEX!
Love you dude
Right, so I had to re-read a bunch of earlier strips because it's not clear that Aurelia is completely unaware that Clinton and Eliot are into each other. Hope that helps out anyone else who was a bit lost as to this and the previous strip.
I'm not entirely sure she is. I think she might just have been unaware of the subtexts that that context adds to the conversation!
She's so adorable, omg
What's the paetron tier for them to make out in Clinton's room?
*pulls out wallet*
Finally. I was afraid that maybe Claire would have to more than gently tap her mom with a clue by four.
Claire is many things. Subtle is not one of them.
10$ says they kiss up there.
From your wallet to god's ears
I don’t understand, what was the subtext? The fact that “in” and “ass” are bold?
I'm reading it as Clinton's response vis a vis how he'd be interested in exploring baking (courtesy of last page) clicked; relationship subtext, not friendship subtext. The In Ass would be tooooooooo on point IMHO, but then again 🤷
I care more about this relationship than anything in the world right now.
Aurelia to reconciling her mood with the actual atmosphere is going to kill us all.
horse; meet finish line.
Lmao
The blushing is INTENSE
They're both going to pass out from lack of blood if they don't stop!
Better shut the door Clinton.
I wouldn't mind if they left it cracked enough for the next comic...
That penny dropped like an anvil off the roof.
My thoughts immediately went to Faye’s internal tetris for some reason 😂
I love her so much. ❤️
OOH, IT’S HAPPENING NOW
I think the only thing left is if Claire squees after Aurelia tells her about this.
Hmmmm...She's said that before, hasn't she?
That someone's a nice boy? She has! https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2809
Gosh, she's on the ball!
Subtle. Real subtle. 😉
