I'm traveling and forgot to title this one! But I will be home tomorrow and will title it then. Thank you for your support.

Anyone else wants to roll up Emmett in a blanket burrito and surround them with snacks and popcorn?
Wow, this was posted at a much higher resolution than usual.
I wonder why the strip up on the main site is the May-Dale-Marigold one from a couple of weeks ago, not this one.
Are we all just going to ignore Emmett's mom in panel one saying "I've never seen the goatse hands used like that..."? I mean what the heck?
Yeah... what the hell is she a professor OF, anyway?
🫂
This reminds me of a cartoon that can be found by googling "bobby hill bart simpson chris griffin".
Looked it up and WOW. That was a feels trip
I love how Jeph includes such a wide range of relationships. If only RL were more tolerant of such things.
I really like your name. That reminds me that I need to read the Requiem For A Ruler of Worlds series again...
I love how you approach these sensitive topics.
OMG, that convo in P4 is sooooo like my GF and her (then) teenage daughter: "Can you make me mac and cheese?" "You know how to do it" "Yeah, but I can't do the cheese sauce as well as you." Edit: For clarity, this is boxed mac and cheese they were discussing.
To be fair, making the béchamel/cheese sauce right is more challenging than you think.
Makes me miss my mom. The more people you meet, the more you realize how rare good moms can be.
Emmett is a good bean. That's all. I like them.
Now, I think you’re a good friend for worrying about Sam in this way Emmett, but in your place I’d reach the conclusion that Jim’s got Sam covered with Veronica these days (and with Faye and Bubbles, to an extent). Indeed, I have no doubt that Veronica does her best as a stepmom, and she’s already established as a Good Mom.
Veronica is a good mom.
But Sam's NEW mom makes cookies. just sayin'
Uh
This is so touching. Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna go curl up in a ball on the floor and cry for the rest of the day, because I was not prepared for *feelings*
1. FEEELS. 2. the Professor of the internet seems to work with memes. 3. MORE FEELS 4. Should she really use the microwave unsupervised?
2. And I see why she said the internet's bad for your brain 4. They. But I mean, Emmet's old enough, right?
Thank you for another wonderful and wholesome comic. I've been freeloading for too long and you deserve all the support for what you do. It's the only comic I couldn't do without.
The feels.

goddammit no
BECKY WHAT
On topic: Emmets mom is the goat on parenting. she's the one in the monster movie where the monster charges, she casually kicks the umbrella stand in front of it, picks up the child and exits the house,..... (sound of the monster hitting the closed-door back first as mom puts the kid on her back, kicks it up to 3 quarter speed, pulls out her phone, and calls 911.)
Bach tip on grilled cheese: Waffle Iron and potato bread,....
*writes furiously*

Untitled Goatse Strip?
Perfection

"Emmett has hands"
We still have no direct evidence for hands plural
Just now noticing the takodachi on the shirt 10/10 Jeph
Stuff that Mom makes tastes better. Everything from toast on up. It's a founding principle of the universe.
1. I have problems making a grilled cheese sandwich without burning the kitchen let alone popcorn. 2. I don’t like popcorn. Even the tri-split Topsy popcorn barrels with buttered, cheese, & caramel popcorn. (The metal barrels make great wastebaskets tho.)
The trick with grilled cheese is to cook on medium to medium-low. It takes a little longer, but your chances of burnage go down significantly!
Proposed title "Mom and pop"
eh. too corny.
Rob Sheridan's goatse awareness campaign is leaking over
Mom food always tastes better.
I salute your username.
d'awwwww
Goatseeing with Eyes Unclouded
“Sokath, his eyes uncovered!”
The professor is working hard on meme studies
"Thank you for your support." - Well, I think you already *have* titled it.
The request for popcorn makes this so realistic as well as so sweet.
Title: Goatse Popcorn And no, you can't un-see that mental image.
NO!
Ffs I googled "goatse hands" like a moron and now THAT'S in my search history.
So glad someone fell for that, and admitted it. ♥️
New title, Good mom’s make popcorn and know memes.
Also, I didn't notice it earlier, but I love that they look alike.
It's interesting how Jeph keeps things varied. The Augustus family and Emmett's are near-identical in facial features. OTOH, Dora and Sven look very different (and Dora explains it in an early strip). I seem to remember that Faye and her sister are also very different, but we haven't seen the sib for so long that I've forgotten her name.
And let's set Sam's mom and Emmet's dad. Could get a virtual whirlpool of dysfunction.
Yay has a satellite they can drop on the two of them!
They're not wrong. Popcorn does taste better when mom makes it.
Same is true when she makes your sandwiches and cuts them diagonally. It's just better.
Emmet and Elliot can never be allowed to meet. The world wouldn't be ready for that level of purity.
So… do we know if Elliot has a last name? Couldn’t find the answer on the cast page or tvtropes. Just wanted to make sure Elliot & Emmett aren’t related.
Dang, I need to make popcorn now.
Sam is going to wind up with 2 moms, isn't she?
Not sure if Veronica and Jim will get married or not. I certainly hope they do.
Popcorn is always better when someone else makes it
I'm not allowed to make popcorn unless it's air-pop, I always think it's still popping and burn it. :(
You adorable goon Emmett. Also, it looks like you got some trauma there. Do we know about Emmett's other parent?
WHAT ARE THE GOATSE HANDS DOING?!
I is concerned
Emmett is telling the truth there.
Indeed, popcorn is always better when a parent makes it.
The 'it's a good thing your dad got divorced and got custody' talk is always hard.
😭
