Any specific kind?
I sort of lumped them all together.

Anpan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anpan) is probably my favorite. Melonpan is pretty good, too. I haven't had monkey-bread in forever and might need to go out and buy some if I can find any.

Comic's up.

The Burrito Vendors' lines in panel 4 pretty much completely sum up their respective personalities. I vote we name the two on the left Ugh and OMG, at least until we find out their real names.

Something has to snap at this point. Elliot seems on the verge of a meltdown given that Clinton can't even touch him without triggering a strong reaction at this point!

The Burrito Vendors' lines in panel 4 pretty much completely sum up their respective personalities. I vote we name the two on the left Ugh and OMG, at least until we find out their real names.

Actually, I think that we can name them after the three Greek fates. Bubbly biogirl is Clotho (the Spinner, of ships in this case), Yesmini is Lachesis (the Allotter, of stylish shopping) and misanthropic synthgirl is Atropos (the Inflexible... in being disgusted). Bonus if Jeph has Yay run into them and uses those names.

He pretty much already did, (https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4334) unless I'm totally misinterpreting that comic (entirely possible). It's past the stage of "thinking about it" and more into the realm of self-acceptance.

Most of Jeph's comics are open to interpretation :) I saw that one more as Clinton establishing that he was attracted to Elliot, but that doesn't necessarily lead to wanting to date him. Hence the 'hanging out' that they did when Elliot was working.

Agree to disagree on this? My interpretation was definitely "something Clinton wants to happen" rather than "a hypothetical possibility."

I do like how this resets them back to equal, as opposed to Elliott being obviously too good or mature for Clinton.

So, the guy who doesn't perceive boundaries until it is far too late and a guy who freaks out at the merest hint that he's made a misstep. Jeph really, really should have thought a lot more about whether these guys were plausibly compatible before arbitrarily pairing them up.

That said, I do like the idea of seeing Elliot's reaction to Mrs A and Cosmo. I wonder if Cosmo will dislike him because he smells of cats on a canine-only detectable level? Or whether, as seems to be the case in the real world, Cosmo will be overjoyed to meet Hercules's human?

Yes, deep breaths Elliot! Go and talk to Hanners - she probably has a spare paper bag you can use  :-D

Of course she does. She has whole boxes of them. What, you think that she'd ever use one more than once? That would be terribly unhygienic!

True, however, they are also both open minded, willing to admit mistakes, willing to work on themselves, and very much working on growing and being a better themselves.
They are very much alike in that journey, which can create a feeling of kinship.

If they establish trust and practice open communication - which they have already been working on - I do see this working actually.
Upside, they will both get quite a bit of practice on working on their weak spots. They definitely would run into some boulders, especially in the beginning.
But in my experience, even if you are relatively bad at reading people, you can become quite attuned to your partner, and pick up their signals way sooner.
And in reverse, even if you are bad at sharing things, the level of trust you develop with your partner makes that it's much easier with them to share your boundaries.

I'm speaking somewhat from experience here, I can be a bit obtuse at moments, my partner doesn't open up quickly.
But by being supportive of him speaking up, always listening when he does, and occasionally checking in if everything is okay, that is totally compensated. I mean, I can really really work.

Elliot, please start getting help for anxiety asap! Your future self will thank you - I speak from experience.

Also thank god someone in the comic has finally floated the idea that Elliot's anxiety might benefit from professional help! I've been hoping one of his friends would do so for ages and ages.

I didn't really understand what anxiety was (in a mental health context) until I was in my mid-late twenties. I often wish I'd known earlier (and got help earlier) as looking back I can see ways in which anxiety was affecting my life from as young as primary school age. Better late than never I guess, but still... a diagnosis and help as a child - or even as a teenager - would have saved me so much pain over the first 3 decades of my life. So I may have shouted at the comic along the lines of "please just go get therapy already / please tell Elliot he'd benefit from getting therapy already" a couple of times these past few years.  :psyduck:

Something about this whole Elliot/Clinton thing has never sat right with me.

I'm feeling for Elliot, as Clinton just seems to be strolling through this, when I can only see him as "Geoff" from the BBC Series Monkey Dust:
A wannabe cottager, who can never quite go through with it, and finally, when he does, decides he doesn't like it, and just wants to cuddle.
And I don't see Elliot as being non-sexual. (but hey, who knows!?)


Cant find the last one, but this is indicative of Geoff as a whole.

Errrh - afaics, it's perfectly possible for neurotypical folk to acquire an anxiety disorder? But now wiki tells me that OCD counts as neurodivergent on its own?

Makes little difference to me personally, bcs of the ADHD that kept the OCD company (I don't think I meet the clinical definition of OCD any more. The ADD otoh ...), but I've always thought of neurodivergence as conditions acquired during early brain development?

Clinton is Faye's roommate's brother.  Clinton is the reason Elliot would be seeking help for anxiety.  Depending on how cautious Corrine is, it might be enough to say no.

It’s not. At least, not exclusively. It is well suited to desserts of course.

Just as an example, the current trend towards brioche burger buns.

Edit: In case you (traroth) are labouring under the misapprehension that brioche is cake because of the common English rendering of the famous phrase, “ Qu'ils mangent de la brioche” — let them eat cake — that’s a mistranslation. Brioche is a bread.

Okay, I think that I'm in trouble here. I can't actually retain today's strip. Beyond the ladies' names (how long I remember those is up for debate) literally nothing happened. I mean, in honesty, there are parallels to the introduction of three three library assistants, two of whom became short-lived primary characters before Jeph started running out of things to do with them but...

I think that everything about this strip, most importantly that Willow is obviously going to be a deus ex machina to corral Clinton into going the direction the author wants him to go in even though every strip so far really doesn't support that it is in-character, just confirms to me that the Clintelliot ship isn't for me. Literally, the only recent strip that I've liked was Brun, Dan and Renee's appearance. Before that, it was the bit with May at Union Robotics. Literally this entire continuing arc is a turn-off for me.

I think that I may have decided. Let's see what Thursday and Friday's strips are like first.

Unfortunately, she's more likely to be an author mouthpiece there to explain to Clinton why it's okay for him to be in a relationship with Elliot despite his misgivings and nerves. This means that she is invested in a certain degree of authority by the nature of her purpose. Clinton and, possibly, Elliot will respond to her appropriately, no matter how bizarre it would be from an in-universe perspective.

I wouldn't be so harsh as to tell her to fuck off. But yes, in a sane world Clinton's reaction should be something to the tune of "I appreciate your concern, but this is my business and I don't want to talk to a stranger about this".

Which is of course why it won't happen.

Over on the salty subreddit, someone suggested that she's a redo of Marigold for the emerging Secret Bakery core cast (aka 'Core Cast v.2'). Specifically: White plus-size female with glasses, poor-to-non-existent social filter, yaoi addiction and a robot friend who is basically her own missing psychological half (the cynical sceptic to her enthusiastic optimist in this case). I have no idea how accurate that might be but it did make me raise my eyebrows and admit that it sounds plausible.

Hmmm, I don't know. If Jeph wanted Clinton and Elliot to be in a relationship that badly, he would've done that years ago. At the moment, every time they seem to be getting close, something happens to screw it up. I'm getting the feeling that Jeph has different plans for these two.

Edit: also, Willow reminds me of someone but I can’t figure out who exactly… anyone else having that kind of deja vu?

Over on the salty subreddit, someone suggested that she's a redo of Marigold for the emerging Secret Bakery core cast (aka 'Core Cast v.2'). Specifically: White plus-size female with glasses, poor-to-non-existent social filter, yaoi addiction and a robot friend who is basically her own missing psychological half (the cynical sceptic to her enthusiastic optimist in this case). I have no idea how accurate that might be but it did make me raise my eyebrows and admit that it sounds plausible.

Except with an outgoing personality instead of social anxiety.

When I first saw today's strip on Patreon yesterday, it annoyed me. I really thought that Jeph had literally put out an exposition page with Willow as the face of a text-to-speech app. On second reading (yes, this morning is only my second reading; the first and Jeph's really vicious "I hate my readership" tweet yesterday made me that mad), I can see that it's somewhat more subtle than that. I still think that this is just Jeph, having given up making Clinton go for a  relationship with Elliot in any way that seems in-character, has decided to insert a deus ex machina to persuade him to do so. However, I will grant that he succeeds in giving Willow some extra dimensions.

Most specifically, the dimension he gave her is that she's giving Clinton really mixed messages. I wonder if she's aware that her behaviour could be viewed as flirty to the point where she is more interested in Clinton than she is in Clinton being cute with Elliot. We'll see.

Anyone else get the feeling that Clinton is going to end up going out with Willow?

That would be a very unexpected but interesting twist. However, IMO, Jeph is so committed to Clintelliot  to annoy the part of his readership that he dislikes that he might ignore a more plausible and interesting alternative.

Once again, we'll see.

I'm surprised to see "brioche" in a poll about bread...

My vote would go to Kartoffelbrot, but it's not available in the poll. The topic of bread always make emerge my german roots. German bread with french cheese and wine...

'Other' should be one of the options.

As I understand it, brioche is a dessert bread.

It’s not. At least, not exclusively. It is well suited to desserts of course.

Just as an example, the current trend towards brioche burger buns.

Edit: In case you (traroth) are labouring under the misapprehension that brioche is cake because of the common English rendering of the famous phrase, “ Qu'ils mangent de la brioche” — let them eat cake — that’s a mistranslation. Brioche is a bread.

You know I'm french, right?

I agree, yes, Jeph does often have the tendency to state his opinion strongly and without filters. I disagree with your interpretation of the tweets: it felt less "all my readers are idiots and I don't care about them" and more "people, this is MY comic."

Also, take a moment to look at things from his point of view. He's spent seventeen years cultivating this passion project, learning to draw and write well nearly from the ground up. He quit his day job, risking his own comfort to focus on this comic full-time. He's built a beautiful, complete universe, incredible and relatable characters, and engaging storylines. He is known almost exclusively for his work on this specific comic. He spends hundreds of hours a year on it. He's created a paradise for thousands of readers over seventeen freaking years, which is literally longer than I've been alive. And then, everywhere he looks, in places he didn't create and has no influence in, there's hundreds of people telling him he's doing it wrong.

None of this is directed at you. I don't necessarily agree with how he put it. All I'm saying is, I kind of understand why he said what he did.

I'm not on Twitter, and thus I haven't read the tweet in question. All I know is that I love this comic, and if some of the storylines resonate less with me than others... That's just the way it is. Art cannot always please everyone, anytime. It's highly subjective and colored by own opinions and life experiences.

Personally, I still ship Elliot and Clinton. I think they could be good together, as long as they keep talking and are willing to take the other person into consideration. That said, I can also see why some of the other comic readers are bothered by it. So actually, either outcome would be fine with me. If Clinton and Elliot talk/think about it a bit more and then decide that pursuing the relationship isn't for them: great! That would be some nice character development too.

No, seriously though, I would imagine that cosmetic surgeons would be under the same ethics as other surgeons. For example, in many jurisdictions, removing a healthy limb is considered illegal despite informed consent from the patient. Its why many surgeons refuse to entertain the concept of cosmetic amputation.

If there is no need to remove a healthy limb, there's no ethical reason to do so.

Two things struck me about this strip but only re-reading. Firstly, in panel 1, the position of Clinton and Willow's hands makes it possible to make the interpretation that they were sort-of-unconsciously about to hold hands. Now, I don't think that's the case but it does suggest that my subconscious is a Clintillow shipper. Given that this is literally only the third strip in which the two characters have directly interacted, it might mean that I have a problem here.

Secondly, yeah, I'm guessing that the two girls and the duck apparently wearing a bandanna are a reference to either another webcomic or a really obscure art-house animé. I really don't need to know more apart from that.

I think,that, if nothing else, Clinton has met a woman who is as socially awkward as he is. Really, Willow's behaviour reflects his own behaviour when he was on a date with Emily. She's desperately trying to fill the air of her awkwardness and nervousness with words. Any words, no matter how inane it seems. I'm wondering if her anger is panel 4 is to cover over: "Ohmigod, he's seen through me! He knows I'm a phony who doesn't really know anything!"

So, they're going to Union Robotics? I wonder why? I mean Clinton is a former customer and knows Faye and Bubbles personally through the vector of all of them knowing Claire but they're hardly what I would expect to be casual social connections. If Jeph plans to have Bubbles preach to Clinton about accepting your inner truth or something, I might skip the week. I really don't like it when he has his characters deliver Author Tracts, especially characters that I like. However, optimistically, Faye will open the week by pointing at Willow and essentially yelling: "Hey, Nerd! Is that your new girlfriend?" and basically everything spirals outwards into ever greater chaos from there on.

Clinton says why he's going to Union Robotics.  He wants to talk to Sam (or, if she's not there, Faye and Bubbles) about sprays and how that fits with what he's studying at college.  Willow's going because she's tagging along with Clinton.

Hopefully Clinton will be more sensitive about "Hi I am an academic and I am here to learn about an anthropological* phenomenon" than Amanda's girlfriend (Evie?) was with Bubs.  He's come a long way from the awkward dork who showed up to talk to Marten about his relationship with Pintsize and went Creepy Fanboy on Hannelore.

For example, in many jurisdictions, removing a healthy limb is considered illegal despite informed consent from the patient. Its why many surgeons refuse to entertain the concept of cosmetic amputation.
I'm not sure whether it can be described as cosmetic, but amputation of healthy limbs has been performed in the UK (https://www.theguardian.com/science/neurophilosophy/2012/may/30/1), for example, without apparent legal consequences. I suspect that many surgeons might be reluctant to deal with issues of such a serious psychological nature.
Quote
If there is no need to remove a healthy limb, there's no ethical reason to do so.
"Need" is a slippery notion. The surgical procedures involved in gender reassignment (or confirmation, if you prefer) routinely involve removal of healthy body parts, for example, and I would not describe that as unethical. The poor performance, relative to natural limbs, of our present state of the art in prosthetics is another factor. The ethics of limb replacement could be regarded differently if prosthetics of superior performance were developed as in science fiction like Ghost in the Shell.

They are popular Vtubers Gawr Gura, And Oozora Subaru from the hololive company. Seems like Jeff has "fallen down the rabbit hole."

But are they chasing a cool duck or a wild goose?

Ah, my recently acquired specialist subject.  It is very definitely a Duck they are chasing, the hat is a dead giveaway.
The second person is Gwar Gura, a shaaark and one of the english hololive members, one that had a particularly meteoric rise in popularity.
Oh and to further explain other references,
Jeph has fallen down the rabbit hole-peko.
Red Scare is referencing Usada Pekora, another japanese hololive member and a rabbit.
Highlights involve her minecraft traps, unique laugh, brutal Get Over It mindgame with Noel, and crossing two language barriers to play minecraft in english with Moona, an indonesian vtuber. Many people have fallen down the rabbit rabbithole.

Honestly, this leads to an interesting thought. If Vtubers are people operating anime style computer generated avatars...and Clinton already has a prosthetic hand...has anyone put a human mind into a robot body?

Or sharing an experience.

I had to scroll back up to read this again because I thought this said 'sharting.' I might be a bit tired.

Or these are just the QC fora, so such a thing would be expected.

Welcome, new person!

I find myself unconvinced that Elliott and Clinton are compatible. Not that a relationship would be doomed, but it would require a lot of personal growth from both.

To be fair, this is true of every relationship.

I suspect someone on Station is working on human hybrot (https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrot) technology. We've got people working on it IRL. Granted, there hasn't been much recent news on the mater since the research team started back in 2013, so that's totally nothing to worry about. [insert nervous laughter]

I'm actually increasingly optimistic, because we have seen plenty of personal growth from them both in the last 10-15 strips.
