Uh, you ever had a black eye, dude?
It has to develop. It's not an instant thing where you get up from having your face punched in and your eye's already black. Give it a few minutes. We only saw the instantaneous aftermath in this comic

--- End quote ---
Okay, let's be real, Clinton is much smaller and weaker than Emily.

--- Quote from: hedgie on 12 Apr 2015, 19:39 ---Why do I think that Elliott's method of "educating" such a person would be making him sit down and listen to a lecture about proper behaviour until he *wished* to just get beaten-up?
--- End quote ---
Exactly what I was thinking. From anyone else that'd be a threat; Elliott probably meant it quite literally.

Elliot is awesome. He's the chillest and best-adjusted character of the whole cast (with possible competition from Maurice).
The incident in this comic reminds me of something that happened to me last week-end in a night-club. A guy headbutted me. Accidentally, on the dance-floor. He apologized, we laughed about it, I gently poked fun at him over the accident each time we crossed paths, and we laughed some more. Fun times. My left cheek-bone is still a bit sore from the impact, I noticed it two hours ago, and it made me chuckle from the memories. Clin-ton's blunder was even milder. Some people seem to really look for pretexts to be jerks.
On the other hand, about three years ago, I've come very close to punching a guy in the face, in that same night-club: despite my repeated and more and more angry warnings that I didn't find it funny at all, he kept on touching my hair each time he got the occasion. On the sixth or seventh time, I finally punched him - on the shoulder. I couldn't mobilize enough aggressivity to punch him in the face. He apparently got the message, because he left me alone after that. I half-regret that I didn't actually punch him in the face, since it was what I warned him against on his penultimate assault. On the other hand, I regret more to have let things escalate instead of just going for a bouncer to warn that idiot to stop assaulting me.

--- Quote from: Dark Matter on 12 Apr 2015, 23:15 ---Elliot's so helpful, offering free interpersonal behavior lessons like that.
--- End quote ---
He and Momo could open a charm school.
He had some good advice for Marten once, come to think of it.
--- End quote ---
You mean "You ought to expect better of people. It encourages you to be a better person yourself." for example? It fits so well my current mental state and aspirations that I immediately thought of it when Elliot reappeared in today's comic. I think I'll put it in my sig.
By the way, I'm still shipping Elliot and Lt. Potter.

--- Quote from: Neko_Ali on 13 Apr 2015, 07:45 ---I don't think it's the Horrible Revelation. I mean it could be, we haven't seen a lot of the inside of the bar. It just seems that Punchy Bro wouldn't be the sort who would hang out there. I could see Clinton going, maybe. Elliott could have changed bars, or works part time in a couple of them. If it is indeed the same Elliott. And really, I could totally see him working at the Revelation... And defusing fights by giving people a stern talking to.

We have enough interior shots of the Horrible Revelation to establish they aren't there, unless they demolished the next door building to put in a window and did some redecorating:

Though it does have a pool table that comes and goes:

I wonder if the Date Bar could be the other end of the bar from http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1182, which is a closer match, except for the ceiling. Either way I think Elliot is off duty and he's bouncing pro bono to help out Clinton, who is clearly of Elliot's tribe in the romance department and flailing in every sense of the term.
Fake Edit: Not sure if this phenomenon exists in NoHo, but in my college town if students wander into a townie bar they could pretty easily get a swat or thrown out for a fairly minor bar foul.

--- End quote ---
I don't see Elliot doing that either. He always seemed like a pretty good guy.
