Sven/May evolved respectfully over time. Just, you know for small values of time.

Jax

Spoiler: It was Melon.

Jax

Someone stole Steve's cereal. I demand a 50+ page arc about it.

David Durant

Or just Steve eating cereal from now to doomsday :-D

Michael Boettger

One of the advantages of having such a big cast, is that Jeph can pursue so many story lines. After we reach a point in the Elliot/Clinton arc, he can move the scene to the AI rights foundation, adding to Roko, and her struggle with dysphoria, the evolving relationship with Yay, and Melon's antics. From there, perhaps to CoD. Or Union Robotics, Or the apartment. He can fine tune his stories to tell the stories he wants to tell.

Lee B.

They are so damned cute.

Carin Maja Brooks

Cosmo: no, Elliott is your bear

... dammit, my eyeballs tripped. For a moment I read "stiffie" ...

David Durant

In Glorious 2D!

RadiusUlna

Completely agree about Sven/May!

Bruce Steinberg

I think there was quite a lot of respectfulness in the Sven/May relationship. While the two of them may have been more focused crazy sexy times than other characters, they were also upfront and kind with each other. (I sorta hope after some time the awkwardness around Sven’s over generous donation will fade and the two crazy kids will get back together!)

William Karr

Next up, Steve and Melon eating cereal...

Doug DeJulio

That would be a different kind of merch. Maybe a collaboration with Bad Dragon.

J.E. Melton

A strap-on Pintsize attachment? Huh?

at0m

Same

Some Ed

Yes, like the Sven/May relationship. Oh, wait. That said, the Sven/May relationship was fitting for those characters, and these two fit more with a respectful romantic relationship.

Some Ed

No! Jeph needs to continue working on this stuff. I'm pretty sure a lot of people will be really upset if they don't see Elliot and Clinton smooch this year.

Esca Makes

Baking lessons sounds like a great date idea.

Jax

No pintsize with strap on attachment?

Kuragari

Eyyyyy!

Doug DeJulio

I was going to say, if you ever do merch, a plush Elliot doll ("figure!") would be a sure seller... but I think he'd actually work better as a custom "Stretch Armstrong" doll for some reason. Not sure why.

Patreon isn't an airport: departures don't need to be announced. Just a Pro tip for ya bud👍

um...bye?

Leak

Well, he's no Big Clive - but then again there's also less of a chance he'd suddenly start taking Clinton's hand to bits...

Leak

@Aaron Schulz: I heard eating cereal is in high fashion this time of the year...

Kattandra

he might be mighty enough though

OldGoat

It's Jeph's comic and Jeph's yarn. If you don't like how he writes it, write your own.

Don't let the door hit ya where Ellicott-Chatham split ya.

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

While I squee with joy at the idea, Elliot isn't fuzzy enough to be classified "Bear."

Love the "leaving patreon" "threat" like jeph so desperately needs your support in particular to do the art he wants to do

Miyaa

“Posthuman Mystical” sounds like the title of a future Deathmøle song.

MercuryBuddha

^ This

Nash Wolfe

Oh look, it's a lesser Culus Inscribitur (or Entitledus Assholus.) Passive aggressive, threatens to unsub if they don't get exactly what they, personally want. 6/10 could Culus harder.

Aaron Schulz

Do you think its likely in the middle of the story he is currently telling he would switch characters? Of course you don't, you just wanted to make it sound like you had a reasonable complaint, which you do not.

John Ridley

I think Clinton's bear is sitting next to him.

Daniel Blom Paulsen

The current storyline is about Clinton and Elliot. If those are not the characters you're interested in, that's totally fine, but it's an ensemble cast; different characters will be in focus at different times - that's been a staple of the comic for years, and one of the things many people appreciate about it. Also, Jeph has been slowly building up to the Clinton/Elliot storyline for a long time, and a lot of people are finally getting the pay-off they've been waiting for; again, if that's not your cup of tea, that's totally fine, but please respect that it is for a lot of other people. Passive-aggressive "I'm leaving!" comments are never constructive.

Wow, another comic about Clinton. Surprise. What's up with Brun/Millie? Haven't seen Bubbles in a month. One more and I'm off Patreon. I'll wait for my disappointment on the site that hasn't been working....

Alan Wiggs

Yes please, let the vibrations of the singularity propel consciousness to the next phase

Dean Reilly

I realise that I'm swimming against the stream here, but I'd like to see a Patreon bonus strip about Cindee-21's posthuman mystical beliefs.

Jeffrey Anderson

Uh, I think this is the Friday strip. We see them a day early.

RadiusUlna

I really love that Jeph always writes very thoughtful, respectful romantic relationships that evolve naturally over time especially when one or more of the involved parties feels nervous/insecure. Marten/Claire was/is very good, and I’m sure this will be no different.

Ben Russell-Gough

I said it last week but Cosmo has already decided: Elliot is HER big human and she isn't about to let anyone else muscle in on her claim!

Bagge

COSMO!

Lisa

Where do you get the impression that he's pushing himself to be into Elliot? He did that whole thought experiment with Claire where he practically blew a fuse just from thinking about an intimate hug, and then he was like "oh shit I guess I'm into Elliot and now have to figure out what to do about that."

Daniel Rydberg

What base is that???

Shane Wegner

Despite how hard most people are rooting for boy on boy action, thus far I felt like Clinton is more straight than bi, despite wanting to be into Elliot. But maybe I’m wrong about that and he is bi. Or maybe he’ll make an honest attempt and realize it’s not quite for him, disappointing many but making things bittersweet like IRL often is.

pieps

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TOO. Er, the bear part. Not the deliciously awkward beating around the bush. I promise.

David Barr

Of course Jeph is saving the big, um, climax for the Friday strip...

Shaun

They stop the dough from rising?

Shane Wegner

Cosmo is a girl dog!

MikeT

Cosblocked

That will get 'em!

Joseph Bonnar

POINTI BOI!

Joseph Bonnar

Cosmo is CUTER!

They’re so fucking awkward it’s cute

Nah - this is just right to lighten the mood! SMOOCHES ARE NEXT!!

Lisa

While I was hoping for a smooch today, this awkward avoidance of eye-contact is so much more in-character that it feels right to wait. Also I love that they're prioritizing communication and checking in with each other as the first step. They've already used their Good Communication Skills to work through a hurdle that could have been a deal-breaker (that being Clinton's faux-pas at the bar). I'm looking forward to a healthy relationship full of respectful negotiation and thoughtfulness.

Alex

This feels like we’re about to get cutover to another plot line for awhile 😬

Miyaa

Someone has been playing the new DLC to the Outer Worlds I see. (Parvati & Ellie best companions.)

KCkittysnores

🙄

Sleepy John

Cosmo thinks they should take it easy. Petting a dog is an excellent way to reduce tension, especially if the dog is cute and holding a stuffie to you.

Yeah, she went to apologize, of course...

Sean Kinlin

Or maybe Billie Eilish will show up.

Populuxe

Aurelia is outside the door eavesdropping, isn’t she?

R. Francis Smith

I love my dogs but they are severe, uh, bake blockers

Anthony Gaglianese

For the adorable awkwardness to be complete, we now need for the smooching to ALMOST begin and Aurelia to barge in to apologise for her misunderstanding of the sub-text previously, only to completely kill the mood and back out of the door slowly. I feel confident in this happening, we know Jeph well enough by now. And if I'm wrong, we get smoochin, anyway. There is no way to lose in this scenario.

C-Cubed

Cosmo, you're adorable, but shoo we're almost there

Scott Vogel

This is going exactly how I thought it would.

Griffon

WE HAVE REACHED THE SITTING-ON-THE-BED STAGE

If you cut away to some other plot before they smooch, so help me god I'm going to REALLY whine about it.

Tamara Macadam

this *is* the friday comic

Sierra G

FRIDAY COMIC KISS

Thomas Halpin

Official freckleblush inspector here, on behalf of Sublight Contracting and the Rizzo corporation. These freckleblushes seem to be in good order, but I may require more. For quality batch-testing purposes only.

Reyn Goldfur

Could be worse. Let me say from experience, there are a few places you do NOT want a cold nose being pressed up against while you're trying to get your mack on.

Dylan T

You left the door open! You invited shenanigans upon yourselves! FOOLS

SpookyPenguin

you're doing it wrong

Yelling Bird

GODDAMMIT! MY BALLS LOOK LIKE VIOLET-FUCKING-BEAUREGARDE!

Hugh Eckert

"An-ti-ci-pa-tion... an-ti-ci-pay-yay-shun..."

Hugh Eckert

COSMO.

Niskara

Dogs are amazing at ruining the mood. It's like one of their specialties

Mad Marie

I am reminded of all those Heinz Ketchup ads celebrating how slowly it flows from the bottle.

Richard Muir

And now Aurelia will come in looking for Cosmo. Sigh. Get smootchin', fellas!

Brooks Moses

Yes this. So much this.

Jason Zions

Cosmo cockblock.

Lessthan

I am a little obsessed with this story line 😋

They should make jeph lead director on every cult classic cancelled after one season TV show given his skill with cliff hangers

Ian Wolfe

I love you Cosmo, but if you touch my teddy bear, I will END you.

Ted Van Roekel

This is the positive cute I needed today.

Todd Chaikin

Yes, Aurelia eating cereal will be the new Steve eating cereal

Alex Kosnett

The latter, I think. Gradients are difficult to compress!

Max D S

COSMO YOU'RE DELAYING SMOOCHES!

fusorx

Twunk vibes

drone r0m-3

Hand holding?! So lewd!

Miyaa

Next week… Aurelia eating cereal for breakfast after grilling a country ham (bone in slice of ham) for Cosmo.

Certified Nerd

Query: does Clinton have freckles when he blushes, or am I seeing a weird image compression artifact?

Jackie Horn

NOW HOLD HANDS

Darnel D Cooper

Lot of convo going on. A lot of women I knew in the before time, (before marriage), would have already been in my lap,.... the kiss would have been a day ago.
