WCDT Strips 3211 to 3215 (2nd to 6th May 2016)
neurocase:
This doesn't even come close to redemption for me. The fact that she's been featured in so many strips makes me fear we're going to be stuck with this completely unappealing character for a while.
"Sorry I threatened you with a bladed weapon, purely for the crime of having a bad day. Have another thing that you don't even want."
That's some special kind of shitty apology.

Agreed. I don't see where Jeph is going with this. The next comic, logically, should be Clinton out waiting for the bus, and this was just some character development for Clinton*.
But my gut says that the next comic will be Her and Clinton, overhead shot, Clinton looking down a glass of water with a lemon wedge as she has her arms resting against the table, asking why he's trying to get a bus, and leading down for a conversation.
jheartney:
I love the "You imagined that" remark. I'm a sucker for meta jokes.
I think I'll be disappointed if Clinton ends up involved with the bartender, though. Too much meet cute to that. Maybe he'll use this experience to be less of a doormat for women he's interested in.
Tova:
I wonder if she is just a throwaway character as well, but like most other characters in this strip, I imagine people will view her more sympathetically if they get to know her more.

Yeah, but was he drinking a cocktail with a little umbrella in your head canon? :mrgreen:

--- Quote from: mustang6172 on 03 May 2016, 18:35 ---I didn't think the shotgun was overkill. I thought the fact that it was a pump-action was overkill. The smaller size of a break-action seems more useful in the confined settings of a bar.
--- End quote ---
While I think its best to move on, this is going to be the last thing I say about the comic, I imagine that the distinct sound of a shotgun being pumped would be more of an effective threat to end any quarrel in the bar rather than firing it. Its a sound that makes people take notice, you hear it and you are going to stop what you're doing.

My dad says there's three sounds that bypass any logical reasoning centers and go straight to the hindbrain: a shotgun shell being racked, a Doberman/Rottweiler/similar growling, and a soft rattle in the wilderness. I've seen two of the three in action. Never heard a shotgun.
