He Drinks A Lot Of Milk

Elf Sternberg

GOMAD, "Gallon of Milk a Day." A common way to get lots of protein in you when building muscle. Elliot's, um, big, right?

Obvious reply: "So is property Melon."

If Melon were to show up in my house my response would be simple... I'd give her a cup of hot tea. Assam.

If I'm reading the coloring/shading properly, he hasn't turned any lights on, either.

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

Melon, at least, just *appears*, locked door or no.

Am Queue

Does no one in that apartment building lock their doors??????

TMN

Am I the only one who thought at first that Melon wasn't wearing any pants?

Tim Williams

Eliot is so polite, he doesn't even drink out of the carton in his own apartment..what a guy!

Esca Makes

also i appreciate that he uses a glass, instead of stereotypical guy who lives along who drinks it out of the carton.

Esca Makes

Does "drinks a lot of milk" imply more than one glass at a time? Because otherwise I'm very confused as to why you would bring the carton to the couch with you. Wouldn't you just pour a glass at the fridge and put it back?

She'll tunnel right into your heart! And basement.

Everett Bradshaw

I miss Raven so much.

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

Noting the bookshelf. It would be interesting to know what Elliot reads.

Ben Russell-Gough

I don't think that Melon managed 'socially appropriate' this time.

Socially appropriate greeting, Elliot...

Dean Reilly

All of the QC characters are human simulations running in a giant virtual environment and Melon is the avatar of the godlike AI running the program. Calling her best friend 'Roko Basilisk' is sophisticated godlike AI humour.

Patrick Jackson

"He Drinks A Lot Of Milk" That explains why he's such a beefcake :-)

Ben Russell-Gough

Also Clinton/Brun/Elliott triangle or 'V'.

bruitist

So, on the current list of who we're waiting to get together, we have: Faye/Bubbles Clinton/Brun Clinton/Elliot Elliot/Brun Roko/Clinton Roko/Bread Melon/Her own apartment Did I miss anyone?

Dean Reilly

I figured that the neck was too small for a guitar. Maybe it's a banjo?

Ben Russell-Gough

Most landlords don't like people decorating the exterior of the doors.

Ariel Rosenfeld

Were door decorations banned in the building for some reason?

gatherer818

Yes, hugs... And maybe cuddles. I bet he makes an amazing big spoon.

Ben Russell-Gough

Objectively-agreed definitions are another abstract concept.

Ben Russell-Gough

You pick up so much about Elliott from this strip. You can see his ukulele leaning against the side of his couch, he has a lot of books in the cabinet and he has a record player, meaning he's into older music. Of course, this potentially changes the whole triangle with Clinton and Roko - After all, she's obviously a neighbour and Elliott might even know her. And, of course, Melon might feel the need to tell him about Roko's fascination with bread!

Bagge

I love his complete lack of surprise. Quick, Melon. Ask if HE wants you to rub bread on him.

Dylan T

Melon, honey, do you know what "abstract" means?

Brent Catherman

That was rude of you Melon. Elliot isn't having a good night and no time for your antics. Now make it up to him by hooking him up with your friend.

Grace Kieser

Or those subroutines got lost when she was installed in that body

Grace Kieser

Well, it is a small college town, after all

Ian MacLean

I'm calling a Melon / Raven breakthrough in physics / philosophy.

TMN

Feels like Melon is to QC what Harley Quinn was to the Batman universe. Talk about a breakout character!

Nicholas Lopez

Melon, no!

Kyle Major

God dammit melon <3

Shawn K. Younkin

I love how everyone just accepts that a mild Melon could appear at anytime and are super chill about it.

Luzahn

Why would anyone ever kick Melon out of anywhere?

*Claireface intensifies*

Ami

ELLIOT BETTER CALL SOME SECURITY

kaitou

Maybe they're imaginary numbers. (That would make addresses complex.)

JPMK! {verb}

A computer that is able to percieve numbers as abstract concepts and not recognize them....that's some next level computing right there.

JD

Melon is definitely my favorite character and I want to see her interact with everyone in the QC universe.

David Hall

Headcanon: everyone in the QC universe knows Melon, but nobody can remember when they met.

Matt

just like when Hanners used to suddenly be in Marten's apartment

Rich Holmes

Tunnel in the ba... wait.

Kenneth Carlile

I love how this is a common enough occurrence that he just takes it in stride...

Andrew

So Elliot and Roko live in the same building? INTERESTING.

Andrew

Everyone sets their door codes the same so she doesn’t smash all the doors open.

How did she get in?

Rich Holmes

Stick to the basement tunnels, they're less confusing

Gary Walker

Poor Elliot.

Holly Nelson

Nope.

Flounder

:( *offers hugs to Elliott*

Kenneth Carlile

Can I ship Elliot and Melon? Just because?

Will Weaver

Melon needs to stick to using tunnels.
