There it is.
In German, there's the expression "ins Fettnäpfchen treten", meaning literally "to step into a (small) tub of grease". The proverbial foot in mouth. Well done, Renée.
Also, good for you Roko.
There's a Roko-/Robo-bakery pun somewhere. Specialty? Baked good in the likeness of lizards.
BenRG:
New Comic Up!
Okay, now maybe the shipper in me is reading too much into stuff. However, I'm wondering if Elliott has a crush on Roko. It suddenly occurs to me that he wants to spend more time with her and really, really wants to persuade her to do so, if I'm interpreting panel 4 correctly. Of course, anything that lets Roko be around bread and the master of making the bread she loves so much is okay by her! I'm sort of waiting for the critical point where Elliott realises that Roko is into the bread and not him or, alternately, Roko starts wondering if it is just the bread for her any more!
However, for me, the main point of this strip is Renee. Can anyone imagine Faye reacting like Renee does here during most of the run of the strip? She has awareness of her own Foot-In-Mouth Syndrome and it's a cause of some frustration to her. I kind of empathise with her here because it sometimes takes me two or three attempts to parse things that I don't want in my speech out of my speech, which is why I seem hesitant to some people.
FWIW, I really don't know if, in panel 2, Roko is annoyed with Renee or more confused about her behaviour.
traroth:
Roko is fully living out her fantasy.
brasca:
It's all well and good that Roko can apprentice at the bakery, but I thought the point of getting a second job was her charity work doesn't pay much so she needed to find addtional income.
Strangely enough I'm actually sympathizing with Renee. She can be insensitive from time to time, but this seems like an honest enough faux pas. Is there any way to say something upbeat to someone who's chassis was crushed, but replaced a few days later?
JoeCovenant:
But...
But...
But...
If Roko can turn down her sensitivity... Then her sensitivity shouldn't be a problem?
(Looks like those who were clamouring for an Elliot/Roko hook-up might be on tenterhooks at the moment!)
Interesting times.
