Daniel Burnett

Dammit I was hoping the title meant something else

Mister Cletus

I get that reference. #chekhovsgun

Bonnie Fiddis

But now he will have to run back to Clinton’s to have a shower right?

Morgan Bauman

I absolutely believe this is the only in-character choice for Elliot but ELLIOT WHY.

Douglas E. Smith

Oh, the narrative cruelty! and the smell...

Joel Bateman

I'm unsubscribe from u now Jeph. U toyed with my heart 4 the last time. :cccccc

Lord Crusade

I know this comment will be feeding the troll, but still: DAMMIT JACQUES, YOU SON OF A BITCH!

GregD

Come on! You barely gave us a tease! You made Clinton super cute and everything! We demand something to squee over!

Jareth Fullbringer

...welp...I dont know what's worse..the fact that I have to wait even longer for Elliot to admit his feelings to Clinton.........or the fact that Elliot's mouth was open when that skunk sprayed him

Andrew

Must be friends with Roko’s Racoon.

If he doesn't go back to Clinton's for a steamy shower scene, I hate you.

Joseph Bonnar

And JEPH admits it! I can't even stop laughing.

I DEMAND INSTANT GRATIFICATION UGH

Wolfger

This reminds me of the movie Yes Man. That's what you get for not saying "yes," Elliot.

Sandrock

Elliot you were supposed to get sprayed with Clinton so we could get a shared bath scene Q_Q

Cley Faye

Haha, Closure. In a webcomics. That's a thing I stopped looking after for a long time :D

A.A. aka Double

Looking forward to more blushing in roughly 836 strips!

Trolling your fans!

Agnes

fuck, that was some FORESHADOWING

Tara Cook

Guess he'll have to go back for help and a shower. 😏

Forgettable

You, sir, are evil. LET THE CUTE DORKS KISS ALREADY!

4233: The Stinkiest Recovery Elliot knocks on Clinton's door asking to use his tub and some tomato juice. Clinton's empathy is smooth and asks for Elliot take off those stinky clothes and get in the bath tub. Elliot is in the tub, cheeks flushed at being completely disrobed and waiting for the tomato cans, calls out that he's strong enough to open them without a can opener. He questions if this sounded like a brag but the words were already spoken. Clinton reveals the dark family secret and squeezes tomato juice out of his hair. ALL THE AUGUSTUS FAMILY ARE AFFLICTED BY PERPETUALLY TOMATO JUICE DRENCHED HAIR. Elliot facepalms, realizing, HE COULD HAVE HAD A V8!

A.A. aka Double

Okay, after thinking about it more, I'm now hoping he returns to Clinton's place to take that bath. Fingers crossed, let's keep the ship afloat!

DAMN YOU WILLIS! I mean Jeph!

As much as I was hoping for a different outcome, this is absolutely fine and hillarious to me

Edward Clayton Andrews

If they put David and Jeph in a line up and asked, now which cartoonist was it that gave you soul ache? I couldn't choose one.

godDAMMIT, JEPH. AAAAAAAUGH

Curse you Jeph!

SpookyPenguin

"come in and see the dog", well that's a new spin on a cup of coffee!

Valraven

still better than the constantly denied closure in LFG... Probably because even without closure, we're getting actual character development.

Dylan T

GODS DAMN IT JEPH

Geo (Overand)

Well, I liked him before, now now I think Elliot *stinks.* (;

Chekhov’s skunk is too damn funny

FFS, Jeph. We're 4,000 strips into this mess and everybody still acts like they don't have a fucking clue. I''m legit done. This shit makes CRFH and MegaTokyo look positively brisk by comparison.

awgiedawgie

Hey, nobody forced you to come here. And nobody's going to stop you from leaving.

jeph you sadist.

Thomas Halpin

I experience discomfort when I write this kind of stuff for fictional characters. A friend told me that she doesn't. I don't know if you suffer with us, or are unaffected by the suffering you create, but either way, I'm here for more of all of these characters and their dumb brains sabotaging them.

Bagge

CLINTON TO THE RESCUE!!!

Matthew Van Gangelen

You would have thought a jock could run faster than that.

Wood

You're LATE, skunk !

Everyone is bitching about no "closure". Me, a country boy, am just tickled that Jeph made sure to put the skunk stomping in. Skunks try to do everything to not have to use their assblaster. It takes them forever to fully reload.

A sheep

NO, THAT'S NOT THE HOT LOAD WE WANTED, JEFF

OldGoat

Having lived out in the boondocks and having at that same time owned an exceedingly bone-headed labrador retriever, I am fully qualified to say that tomato juice doesn't work any better than anything else for cutting skunk stink. The dumbshit didn't get it with porcupines, either.

David Pipes

I was thinking that myself, having been chased by more than one in the dark. Well done for verisimilitude! (Although I admit to consequence curiousity if the Invisible Emu crosses its path...)

Joseph Bonnar

You will NEVER convince me that Renee didn't train that skunk and release it, while hiding in the bushes. NEVER!

Anonymous

Everyone still pullin for this, meanwhile I'm still on the SS Clinton-Brun

Some Ed

You clearly haven't been around skunks much. As someone who has been up close and personal and not gotten sprayed (one time out of five), let me assure you running fast is not how you avoid getting sprayed. Well, unless you consider the possibility of having someone else run fast, which I'm pretty sure is entirely how I managed to luck out that time. Except I still had to be around my brother for the next few days while he stank like, well, a skunk sprayed him, so it wasn't a clear win.

Some Ed

Of course we can't. I learned decades ago that you can never convince the real perpetrator that their chosen patsy was innocent. ;)

Thomas Boys

....so you're joining the all rest of us tomorrow to see how it plays out? ;)

BobC

Jeph reads the comments. I mean, we knew he lurked, and very, very rarely replied, but even more rare is responding in a comic. Is this a first? I suspect not, but can't think of a prior example. Unless, of course, it's purely a coincidence.

KapsLocked

Oh no Elliot you should run back to his house for tomato juice.....

awgiedawgie

That's interesting, because I've talked to a number of people who swear that tomato juice is the best thing for cutting the stench. Although if your dog happens to be white, it looks a bit silly to have your dog walk around with pink fur for the next few weeks (yes, my neighbour actually had that happen after using tomato juice on their dog).

awgiedawgie

I suspect that it's coincidence, since the story is written well in advance of the comics being posted. What, exactly, are you referring to?

Anonymous

I was on my bike one night, and saw what I thought was a black cat in my way, so I swerved to avoid it, and noticed the stripe on its back as it darted in front of me again, so I had to serve another time. I think that it was too terrified to spray me, the poor thing.

Kayisacat

*shakes fist*

Elliot... Turned down the chance to hang out with his crush AND pet a dog. He really is a himbo.
