Clinton Blows It

Sober Clinton is a passable human being, but Drunk Clinton is a five-level jerk.
Or, more to the point, fails to blow it..... XD
I'm hoping we get some assertiveness from Elliot that woos Clinton somewhat.
Ya know, I've been rooting for Elliot/Clinton, but maybe Elliot deserves better 🙃
There he is! There's the Clinton I remember!
... Can someone with a normal grasp of social skills understand why this is Really Bad rather than just like... too casual a way to mention it? I've been trying to figure out why this counts as blowing it since the comic was posted 😅😅
I can't say I have a good grasp, but I think Elliot was attracted to her and Clinton should really let him down gently rather than shatter his dreams like this! Just seems vaguely tactless.
This is legitimately one of the funniest Clinton comics lmao
oh no Clinton.
*head desk* Clinton... idiot...
"Sips tea."
The look on Elliot's face actually *scares* me. CLINTON, RUN
I very much doubt that he'd hurt him, but it is still a disturbing one even if just so out of character.
Drunks. Huh...
Why are you hurting the cinnamon roll like this, Jeph. Have you no sense of decency?
Some people get beer goggles, some people get a beer megaphone.
I'm gonna go with... It's great! Glad that's sorted out. Now kiss.
God dammit, Clinton! /facepalm
i see, the liquid courage was courage to be an ass
He passed liquid courage three beers ago and is deep into liquid ass territory, now!
Once again we see why this bar is named Horrible Revelation.
God. Dammit.
You dumbass Clinton 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Go home Clinton you're drunk. Here's hoping Elliot recognizes drank too much due to nerves stupid. Clinton just doesn't have social skills appropriate for the situation and drank too much.
nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Clinton. No. You dumbass. You're hurting Elliot by telling him Brun isn't interested in him. AND you're hurting Elliot by demonstrating very clearly that Brun is your first choice. You DOUBLE-HURT ELLIOT, YOU SHITWEASEL.
Nooo, don't hurt Elliot and especially don't double-hurt him?!
Seeellllfffff Deesssttrrruuccttiioon for two pages now. Oh Clinton. You drank cause you were afraid. Looked for an "out" on your feelings by chasing down other feelings, and then you just run your mouth to complete the destruction.
Those quotation marks are doing some serious heavy lifting here
Clinton you’re being a putz.
Dude yikes.... Clinton is so rude he deserves to be rejected by Elliot right here and there and make ammends afterwards
Well, on the plus side, Clinton's about to not need to worry about whether he wants to actually hook up with Elliot.
God I'm nd and I'm not this insensitively stupid, how *does* Clinton manage to do it??
Clinton, when someone turns you down, there is only one bit of information there, that they aren't interested. You have to assume that anything else is just polite social lies intended to spare your feelings. Don't pass it on, don't try to change to fit it, and don't wait for them to break up with their Canadian grilfriend. They aren't interested in you. This is the only thing you have learned. Accept it and move on. Yeah it sucks, and yeah it is hard to deal with, but that's the world we live in. (Yes, Brun might not be the type to do that, but if you were good at reading people you wouldn't be in this situation.)
Clinton why are you like this
I'mma just curl into a little ball. This is hard.
Ahhh I can't. I CAN'T
I have this image where Clinton is a plane and just flies into a mountain over and over again NYEEEEEEER BOOM. NYEEEEEEER BOOM. NYEEEEEEER BOOM.
Patsy Cline but worse!
Wow, this is so painful to watch. Bad moves, Clinton
In Clinton's defense, he's drunker than he thinks he is.
but legit, is this due to Clinton’s nerves or his overall obliviousness? or a little of both?
Some of it may be that he is clueless and believed all the bullshit society hands out about being honest and open and assuming other people are too.
Please tell me this is some kind of....April Fools in late October thing that I've never heard of. No no no no no no no. No. No. Ugh, Clinton.
Tomorrow Clinton wakes up from a horrible nightmare. Day after we see who he is in bed with and things get even worse.
this night was meant to end in Elliot and Clinton kissing god dammit
I can’t actually see what he did wrong here. He’s not told Brun Elliots keen on her, nor has he said anything about Elliots attraction to him. And if Elliot is allowed to have a crush on two people at once it’s gonna be a little bit fucked if he gets mad at Clinton for expressing his interest in Brun and getting shot down. Legit only wrong thing I can see here is Clinton telling Elliot what Brun said, and even that I’m confused by, was he supposed to keep it to himself and watch Elliot crash and burn like he did? Someone please help, I’m an innocent autistic guy who can’t figure this out TwT
I think it's that he's supposed to be on this "hang out" with Elliot and he instead is pursuing someone else. Elliot seems mostly okay with it, but it can't feel good that Clinton is more interested in someone else. And also maybe Elliot is thinking about how he's waiting to hear about how Clinton feels about him, not how Brun feels? That's my best guess! :)
Hoooo boy....
YIKES BIKES
Clinton can write a book on how to eat shoes by now, jeeze
He was just trying to help...
ABORT, ABORT, WHERE IS THE EJECT LEVER I WANT OFF THIS RIDE
CLINTON NO!!!!
Clinton, I want you to stay away from my large son from now on.
CLINTON NO
Jeph nukes all the ships. Next week, Dora and Tai breakup. Then bubbles and Faye. By end of year, everyone will be single again.
If this were Oglaf, there'd be a resulting chance of a greater polycule or sexy fun times?
I'm not sure if I'm more upset that Clinton is spotlighting Elliot's attraction to Brun being one-sided, or that he's lampshading that Elliot's attraction to Clinton is honestly also one-sided.
oh
Bwhahahahah!!! Claire and Clinton are masters at "helping".
Aww yeah Clinton incel arc begins NAO.
☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
CLINTON NO
And Clinton _continues_ to make an ass of himself.
Coming up next, six week of unrelated dog adventure.
To be honest I would prefer unrelated dog adventure (tm) to the ensuing awkwardness of Elliot and Clinton
We have a new reining champion of self sabotage.
And now, Jeph cuts to a story about library science for three weeks.
Everyone was saying that Clinton was blowing it yesterday, but I defended him. I was wrong. I hope he immediately realizes what he did and is able to salvage the night by apologizing, but it's not looking good.
Wtf, Clinton?
He could have just said " Ran into Brun downstairs and had a nice chat. Um, after I peed." But he had to go and wound Eliot.
wound
Clinton, you dolt. You were already somewhat unlikeable, now you're just an asshole.
Oh Clinton so not what should have happened.
On the one hand, yeah, apparently bitter, drunken Clinton thinks "tact" is a thing you use to hang posters. On the other he did save Elliot a really awkward conversation.
every page this week I have gone "wow Clinton is making terrible decisions, at least he can't make any worse ones." and each day I am surprised to find he can in fact make worse decisions.
Awwwwwwwww Clinton..... >_<;;
The look on Eliot's face is heartbreaking. I'm ascribing this to alcohol. But Clinton, you're a jerk.
I'm impressed he could fit both feet in his mouth and still talk so coherently.
*flips table over* FUUUUUUUUCK!
Three beers, two brain cells, and not a single fucking clue. (Not that I haven't done shit like that myself...)
And Clinton is so proud of himself right now.
Ayup. Pretty much as expected. Doesn't make it easier to take, though. If'n you don't got empathy, no amount of training will really help.
Sometimes I wish I could make the characters from this series read the comic. He needs to learn from Marten's mistakes 🤣🤣
Aww, Clinton, honey, no. Poor Elliot.
Claire might actually kill him.
I’m rooting for a combination murder-by-Claire and withering glare from Bubbles
WELP.
Clinton gods damn it.
Maybe give him a robot foot he can shove in his mouth.
His figurative foot is already so deep in his mouth he's practically choking on it...
Jeph why are you hurting me I need joy in my life right now
WHY IS HURTING ELLIOT like this?!!!!! I just thought he'd blow it by being too drunk.
:<
Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Next week: Steve makes waffles while Patreon fans buy out pitchforks & harpoons against Clinton.
Clinton just shouldn't go on dates, sort of dates, or maybe even talk to people at all. It might be best to just skip right ahead to the sexy times stuff. You know, for the greater good and all that.
I saw the comic title in the Patreon notification and didn’t even have to open the comic to know this was gonna hurt like hell 😖
Well people were predicting something like this yesterday. Though the sheer scale of it...
ClinDUMB
I was a young stupid 20-something once. Now I'm an old 20-something and.... Fuck, Clinton. Why you gotta be so self-destructive?
YES CLINTON YES
?
Well that was the fastest crash and burn I think I've seen in this comic. Good show.
i don't like this.
OH HECK OH NO
Baby no, what is you doing
Oh no
Hooboy, I can just feel the social blunder from here.
Click, boom.
...well shit.
ABORT, CLINTON. ABORT.
It’s too late, he’s already been born.
DAMN IT CLINTON
Trying to remember if Martin was ever this bad right now
Danny’d that right up
I understood that reference!
Clinton.
FUCK
noooooo clinton
