It's Hercules

Mark

"If there were one principle that we could be said to stand for, it's that the sanctity of the mind must never be violated. Not even for benevolent reasons." does not seem consistent with manipulating these two into a relationship at all, let alone "4 teh lulz". https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3923

Adam Koslin

From wholesome squee-itude to "honk honk, clown-boy." I just got brain-whiplash.

Richard Muir

Agreed. She's too smart to get in the way.

Grace Kieser

He is a wizard when it comes to setting ships to sail! He's had a decade to perfect his craft, and it only gets better with each one!

Aleks

Out of curiousity, I went back to check. A thousand comics ago is when Melons butt fell off. Seems fitting.

Richard Muir

It looks kind of like a fingerprint

Richard Muir

Yay, finally they kiss! We've been waiting, what, 1000 comics for this moment? #WorthIt

Kuragari

I think they were only made aware by Elliot's description. I don't think they had a vested interest beforehand. I don't think that it's really being implied. Yay can be vicious but I don't think they're malevolent or even willing to interfere on that level unless approached. Especially after trying to integrate themselves into this group more.

Joe

the advantage of mass computational resources & advanced data science.

Joe

oh, for fuck's sake is about right!! I was worried you were going to drag it out another day, Jeph.

Kuragari

And now for implied butt stuff! XD

OldGoat

In the earliest strips Marten's boss was gay, and so is his dad (and his dad's husband).

marcus erronius

Oooh, time for a Slipshine? :-) ... oh wait, wrong comic

Laurie Voss

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY (not the person, the expression)

Bruce Steinberg

Aurelia is in the basement practicing on the bass. She’s realized there was subtext and wants to avoid falling into adult content tropes!

Bruce Steinberg

I don’t get the sense that Yay arranged anything. Elliot had already talked to them about Clinton and Yay made the same sort of guesses that anyone would do when a friend tells them they are interested in someone. Yay is just very, very, *very* good at guessing.

Ben Russell-Gough

As with everything to do with Yay, they will be keeping that a secret, thank you.

Ben Russell-Gough

Even the implication that Yay somehow arranged this makes my hackles rise.

OldGoat

Looks like Clinton is has moved through his squick. Yelling Bird and Pintsize chanting together: "Dick stuff! Dick stuff!"

Mooster

So am I the only one wondering if Hercules actually said that, and Yay can speak cat, or if she was just cute-talking to Hercules?

..... Does zero chill plus zero chill somehow equal chill? ....and how long till Aurelia removes it again....

Summer Sudbrink

Multipurpose: Yay!

Jason Li

...Has Clinton been blushing so hard he’s started to bruise...?

Mark

We haven't had a booty dance for a while.

Stephen Wells

I think "free will" originates as a theological attempt to say that sin isn't God's fault... it's not even a particularly relevant concept in real life, and it generates some truly terrible philosophy.

Matt Pedone

FINALLY (also, more squeeing).

Stephen Wells

ALSO THAT BUT THE OTHER WAY AROUND

Mark

Doesn't seem likely that he has, does it?

Mark

Or possibly just a know-it-all :-)

Mark

I was thinking more like Bubbles and Faye, even if that was closer to mutual realisation, to wit- "FRIGGIN FINALLY"

Cass

I hope Jeph has good things to show us about being in a relationship with someone who suffers from serious anxiety.

Carrie

Blushing even more is what it is.💝🏳️‍🌈💖

Elliot's not a guy where Clinton has to make the first move. Elliot's a guy where Clinton has to make ALL the moves.

I am the captian now

Just like Marigold and Dale ❤

Veronica VanCleave-Seeley

This was what I needed today. <3 FINALLY! <3

Will Weaver

I love that “FINALLY!” appears to be a sound effect, as if it were the readers all shouting out in unison.

Stephen Wells

...now genuinely wondering if Elliot has ever actually kissed anyone before, at all.

Lucas Werkmeister

"writing Elliot is easy, all I have to do is remember an embarrassing thing that happened to me" https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4378

Lucas Werkmeister

wow, so rude of Elliot to force Clinton to stand halfway up from the bed so he could reach him ^^

Conrad

Squeeee!!!!!!!! So cute!!

Bollthorn

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.....

Jeffrey Anderson

Yippee!!!

Darnel D Cooper

Sven and May next please?

Absentia

once again, Yay proves that they are the smartest character in the comic. also, oh... i can't WAIT to see what twitter is like tomorrow when this page goes live...

Gaz

YEA! KISSSSSSS!

SpookyPenguin

"oh for fuck's sake Elliot" could be a winning t-shirt design.

4487 comics and we finally get some boy on boy! Yaoi baby!!!

Ami

YESSSSS!

Jimmy Thorsell

squeee!!!! 💕

Bagge

Yay is a shipper! I knew it

Merelyflowers

Aaaaaw! But what's with the weird spot on Clinton's face in panels 2 and 3?

Dora Dodson

Same. ><

Emma Humphries

Yay, no spoilers about the illusion of free will, okay?

EnterTheHero

*dies of squee*

(And if it wasn't clear, I don't think that's a BAD thing, I just don't see it depicted in media often.)

As a bottom dating a bottom, it's REALLY hard to combat inertia. I'd kinda love to see a relationship where the sex kinda fizzles out but the love and commitment remains, because as a bottom who mostly dates bottoms... that tends to be what happens when two bottoms get together.

SingingTurtles

Aaaah Clinnton I'm so proud of you!!!

Sarah Schnell

James and Carrie: my thought exactly! ^_^

Sarah Schnell

Carrie and James: my thought exactly! ^_^

Am Queue

Maybe. Also, yes, but where? o.O O.o <.< >.> >>>>>>>D?

Reyn Goldfur

While 3 would be an interesting and under-represented topic, I don't know if muddying up this happy little gay romance would be better or worse from a reader's perspective. I expect there to be a lot of little stumbles as Clinton navigates his new feelings, but I want this ship to sail dangit.

Vik M.

*inhales*-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO

Photon

Or something else...

Daniel S

Congratulations, Elliot, you out-bottomed the other bottom!

Daniel S

Hercules, they're bisexuals!

James C

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! 🥰

Carrie

Eeeeeeeeeee🥰💖🏳️‍🌈😁💝

Kyle Major

Hot

Pete Hanson

I love this. It reminds me so much of that first time I kissed a man. Everything changed that day.

Nash Wolfe

MY LOOOOOOOOVE HAS COME AROUND (makes me think of this, sorry Ella! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB3NPNM4xgo )

Tim Eldred

As a straight male, I'm super happy to see this finally come to fruition. You see all that panic in Elliot's eyes turn to HELL YEAH? You see that look on Clinton's face as he seals the deal? That right there is good, wholesome shit.

SilverbackRon

Oh, there will be lots of butthurt Homophobes complaining, but I take no joy in reading their crap. Hopefully most of them have moved on to webcomics that are more fitting to their tastes by now. I mean, QC has never been shy about it's strong support and depiction of LGBTQ+ characters and storylines. So most of the negativity that we will see will mostly be trolls.

Sero

I knew this page would either come with squees of delight (smooching) or screams of frustration (no smooching) - both of which could probably be heard 'round the world. Pretty happy it was the former, though ♥ Now I hunker down and wait 'til next page and hope it leads to some more making out (given Clinton and Elliot's awkwardness, I won't be surprised if something ruins the moment though, pfffffft).

Gary Walker

Not going to lie, I'm happy to see a ship come into port here, but the real joy is going to be all of the butthurt homophobes writing Jeph "more in sorrow than in anger/your strip used to be funny" screeds when this goes up tomorrow.

The Secret Sponsor

As much as I'm happy for them, I can't help but feel like something is going to go horribly wrong. In the worst case scenario, either: 1.) Mom is going to ruin the moment. 2.) Clinton is going to ruin the moment. 3.) The concept of Romantic Orientation Vs. Sexual Orientation making a surprise appearance and ruining the moment (though leaving the door open to discussing a topic that doesn't necessarily come up too often and could be interesting to explore). But then again, everything could go fine.

That Blair Guy

I was betting today would be the start of Steve-eating-cereal week.

Mad Marie

Also, is Elliot going to get a plug tattoo? I totally support that.

Streb

Oy, Yay, no statistical voyeurism! But nah seriously this is sweet and adorable. All of the yes.

Anthony Gaglianese

Also... Elliot in panel 2 is such a fucking feeling, it's not even a joke. I have screwed up so many dates and relationships from those words, only they were repeating in my head.

Spacey02111

RESOLUTION!!!!!! And now cue the scene cut to if I had to guess Roko or Melon

Mad Marie

Are we going to get another Clinton “Yeah Baby!” pose like after the Emily date?

Anthony Gaglianese

Not going to lie, when I saw the notification pop up and the title of the strip, I had a momentary flash of throwing my phone in frustration. I am very glad I didn't. Well played, Sir. Also: ABOUT DAMMED TIME! Brun should be randomly and inexplicably blushing right about now as well.

Forgettable

YES!

John Fiala

YAY!

Raven Razor

FUCK YES

AT LAAAAAAST

Kiterie Aine

It’s not that hard, cats are simple if fickle beings.

Vic or Vyxter

WHEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

why do i feel like someone used my constant everyday anxiety as the basis for elliot's entire being?

Ted Van Roekel

TOOT TOOT!

Thomas Halpin

Yay! Also, Yay!

Nascha Morrison

THANK YOU

Yelling Bird

IT'S ABOUT GODDAMN TIME!

Sean Kinlin

I was thinking of it as the kissing version of "Fatality!"

David Jackson

🚢🚢🚢

Andrew L Butula

Nah, they need to at least make an occasional attempt at being spooky.

Connor Wilson

Speaking as a Canadian, that would not be much of a loss. Tim's hasn't been good in years.

Andy Kailhofer

Yay!

Dean Reilly

Yay should probably wait a few minutes before sending them a congratulatory text, though.

I MADE AN INHUMAN NOISE!!! now can elliot pls go to therapy for his anxiety while also going on cute dates with clinton???

Gamera

Is your break them up I will blow up my local Tim Hortons

Alacrity Fitzhugh

... or is the "dirty" yet to come?

Ted Van Roekel

*Deep happy breath* FINALLY.

Nice

Tali

I needed this this week

Tamara Macadam

FINALLY

Antonio E Gonzalez

FINALLY: the sound effect of two people overflowing with romantic tension kissing

Joseph Bonnar

KITTY! (I want everybody here to know that if I am killed by a ferocious tiger that my last words would be: "Here, kitty Kitty Kitty"

Krista Elliott

My god, Clinton's character arc has been epic.

Joseph Ascanio

SQUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Myles Watkins

YAAAAAAAAAAAS

Alex Kosnett

It must have powerful reproductive success to outweigh the other costs...

Scott Vogel

YEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss!

Nicolas Demers

FINALLY

D. Athanasi

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee...*gasps*EEEEEEEEEE...

Krista Elliott

And Claire has completely evaporated, leaving a very puzzled Marten.

Dave, Duke of Fridges

God bless that you didn't do us dirty jeph

Grace Kieser

Wow! The Agustus lack of chill has finally proven useful!

Valraven

*queer content sigh*

Dylan T

YEAHHHH GOOD SHIT

Michael

I get the feeling he always is having a good day.

Ali

Somehow Elliott became even more adorable

Livy N

*content queer sigh*

Miyaa

It’ll be Aurelia and she’ll be having Raisin Bran, tyvm.

*SQUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

*spontaneous confetti and cheering*

Dylan T

I think that falls under Basilisk's rule of Yay not using using their powers for evil

Matt Grayson

I’d assumed she was watching through neutrino imaging, but humans are simple enough to model. Unlike cats.

Lucas Werkmeister

I saw the comic’s title in my inbox and my heart PLUNGED but YES THEY SMOOCH

Griffon

THANK WHATEVER DEITY

Spoogle McGee

You're right, some weird compression going on here.

Ace

YESSSSSSSSSS

Panic Blitz

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Peter McDevitt

so what kind of cereal will we see Steve eating tomorrow?

Alex Kosnett

That whistle always gets me.

Miyaa

Yay speaks Feline?! (Okay, yay also for Clinton & Elliot!)

Michael Boettger

Is Yay really that good? Maybe Faye and Bubbles should head to a casino with them, and solve their cash flow issues.

Danya Michael

Somewhere Renee's head is exploding and she doesn't know why.

Jackie Horn

I just let loose a victory cry fit for a viking. YEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

AKOD

FINALLY! xD

Diptych

Hercules is having a good day.

Samantha Yeaman

I can almost hear a studio audience applauding for the third panel.

Michael

Good on you Clinton for taking the lead.

dylan

Nice. Clinton’s kinda got a big gray smudge on him though.

Hope

Pump it into my VEINS

Kurt Lewis

*deep breath* LET'S. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Jackson Mccreery
