I've never experienced the traumatic loss of a hand, but if I did, and if I was able to replace it with a prosthetic hand on the technological level of the QC-verse, then I might actually consider poking mild fun at myself and my condition with a somewhat-lighthearted tattoo showing off that I was a "cyborg." Maybe. Obviously I can't really know for sure, but I can guess. But Clinton isn't as casually easygoing as I imagine myself to be. Sure, he's not ashamed of his injury, and he's definitely not shy about displaying his cybernetic replacement, but one thing Clinton is definitely NOT, is casually-lighthearted about it. He's proud of his hand and somewhat confrontational about it (as demonstrated by his refusal to wear a flesh covering), but a jokey tattoo completely destroys that image. He is going to regret this for a long, long time.
This comic actually hurts to read.
(Edit: And I know I joked about his getting a tattoo earlier this week and in the last thread, but seeing it play out in the comic has changed my mind, and I'm not very happy with the direction this storyline went.)
jwhouk:
Whatever website it was that gave him dating advice needs to be taken down.
I think he'd have a pretty good case against them, myself.

--- Quote from: Truec on 08 Apr 2015, 20:37 ---I don't wanna be that guy who says mean things about single parent families, I'm sure Mrs. Augustus did the best job she could with her kids and was a wonderful mother.
That said, we have here an example of a young man who DESPERATELY could have used a strong adult male role model in his formative years.

Because only men who were raised by single mothers have ever gotten tattoos to impress women?

And no fathers have ever raised their kids wrong or given bad advice!

Nah, one of these would fit his personality better:
Ya know, 'cause he can be a bit of a knob sometimes...
Aziraphale:
Poor bastard.
I like seeing another side to Clinton; he's coming across as a more nuanced and sympathetic character in these last several strips. Hopefully Jeph does the same with Emily. She isn't unsympathetic, but she's been awfully one-note.
