--- Quote from: chaospersonified on 06 Apr 2015, 07:40 ---It's alarming how many different sets of glasses Clinton would seem to have. He's got the round ones, a pair of oval frames on the table in front of him in today's comic, and the rectangles he had on in the last comic.

I think the "oval frames" are supposed to be the round ones seen at an angle. They are on top of the dresser until the last frame, when they are on his face, so it's clearly the same pair.

It seems you are correct. In the interest of continuing my line of thinking, though, he still might have the original frames he wore when he first appeared, which wasn't that long in-comic, I don't think. I don't have the timeline in front of me, but even with how quickly my vision disintegrated, I kept my old pair around for a few months, at least! I've still got a pair from a full year ago, so if we assume Clinton is similar, (I know we can't but I like to imagine him an eye-wear hoarding nerd) then where does this third pair fit in, with the RECTANGLES?
HOW FAR BACK DOES HIS COLLECTION STRETCH?

One pair for reading, one pair for writing, one for out of doors, one for looking at you over the top of, and a fifth pair for looking for the other four on the frequent occasions when they're lost.

I almost always get two pairs when I need new glasses, one for work and one for formal occasions. And I tend to keep the old pairs for emergencies, each of my cars has a pair in the glove box, a pair is in my nightstand, one is in the garage (that one I attached some LEDs to, so I can see while I'm under a car), and there's a couple pairs "somewhere" that will just show up randomly.
Zebediah:
The new glasses are easily explained: One of the functions of Clinton's robot hand is that it can scavenge metal and glass from the surrounding environment and use them to fashion a new pair of glasses whenever needed.[/headcanon]
Gladstone:
Uh-oh.

I dunno about any of you, but I'm getting a definitive Hangover vibe. With a side order of Something About Mary and Something Wild.
