I was concerned about Elliot not saying anything in the second to last panel, but sometimes it's difficult to think of a response to someone rambling about how not cute but cute you are.

It's not exactly a huge revelation to say this, but saying "you too" is sort of a bad habit. Not because wishing someone something good that they've wished you is bad. It can be perfectly sincere and good and all that. The reason I say it's a bad habit is that all it takes is one part of the statement not being applicable to you for EVERYTHING TO GO WRONG.

Granted, it's a super easy habit to get into and it's usually fine, so whatever. It's fine. Everything's fine.

Also, Elliot *is* cute and huggable, so there's clearly no issue here.
