Elliot Matthew Gordon[1] is an employee at The Secret Bakery. He was one of the first characters introduced at the bakery.
Biography[]
Elliot works for Jim at The Secret Bakery. It was also mentioned in passing by Wil that he may also be a part-time bouncer at The Horrible Revelation.[2] This is confirmed in comic #2937.
He was in love with Padma, a former employee of The Secret Bakery.[3] Unfortunately, the feeling wasn't mutual.[4] He later develops a crush on Brun,[5] however he does not immediately find out whether or not she returns the feelings.[6] Brun eventually tells Elliot that she is not attracted to him, and they agree to remain friends.[7] His coworker Renee finds him attractive[8][9], but it doesn't seem as though any romantic relationship will form. After she confessed to finding him attractive, they returned to platonic friend mode.[10][11] He later reveals to Renee that he is bisexual and attracted to Clinton.[12]
During Clinton's visit to The Horrible Revelation,[13] a misunderstanding about deodorant led to an awkward moment between Elliot, Brun, and Clinton.[14]
Elliot confessed his feelings to Clinton, and Clinton visited The Horrible Revelation for drinks during one of Elliot's shifts.[15]
Personality[]
Hugging with Clinton Augustus and Brun
Demeanor[]
Elliot appeared to be rather mopey when first introduced.[16] It was later determined it was a case of "unrequited love". He also has a slight problem with "quietly looming".[17] Elliot tends to over-apologize in an autonomic process.[18] When Yay tries to intimidate Elliot, he compliments them saying that they were almost scary, much to Yay's chagrin.[19] When talking to someone that he's attracted to, Elliot can become very awkward.[20] He admits that he's afraid to talk to people he's attracted to because it might ruin friendships.[7]
Hobbies[]
He likes hiking,[21] but that may because Padma enjoys hiking. During a conversation with Hannelore and Marten, he stated that he likes to go fishing.[22] He also works out, though he neglects leg day, which results in his less than killer bubble butt.[23]
He takes care of a cat, named Hercules.[24]
Elliot likes "the part of baseball where you drink beer and eat hot dogs."[25]
Appearance[]
Elliot is one of the tallest characters in the strip, more so than both Wil and Sven, and second only to Bubbles[26]. This is exceptionally evident in comic #2021 when he is stood next to Marten. Marten does find him physically intimidating.[27]
