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.
