--- Quote from: Near Lurker on 25 Jul 2016, 01:08 ---Now that I look at it, Clinton's coat seems stranger to me than Claire's. My winter coat has the same size as most of my shirts on the label, and it extends well past my hips. Plus, that hat - I don't think I've ever seen an American wear one of those hats.
--- End quote ---
Those hats tend to be more popular in the midwest, but with the popularity of Fargo it might be more trendy to wear one these days. Of course it's a practical hat in places that can get very cold and Clinton is a practical man.
Nice way to bond, but I don't think these two can agree on matching tattoos.

IDK
They both seem like they'd like whatever their universe's equivalent of 'The Legend of Zelda' is. So maybe that games equivalent of the triforce?

--- Quote from: swapna on 26 Jul 2016, 02:09 ---Re: Yesterday's comic: Yah, Claire has learnt nothing- didn't we just talk about pushing people, especially Clinton, into decisions? But ha-ha it's Claire so it's cute.
--- End quote ---
The attitude towards Claire in this thread is unsettling to me. Clinton has shown himself to be braver than he used to be, he is well within his rights to say no.
--- End quote ---
Where as some people can find the Author/fans view that Claire is so super cool she can do no wrong a little wearing to. People can have different opinions yet no-body is wrong.
snubnose:
I do NOT like todays comic.
But its a great comment on the current state of the world - with gun rampages even in Japan.

Well if the body isnt wrong, can the mind be wrong ?

I have no issue with people not liking Claire. I have no issue with people not liking any character in the comic, because they're all fictional. I also don't think Claire is faultless, and Jeph clearly doesn't either. My point wasn't even about that, my point was about how I find it bizarre how seemingly personally offended people were that Claire booked the appointment, again because they're fictional.
There's a common thread in WCDTs of this personal offense being taken over character actions and it's just not something I've ever understood.
--- Quote from: oddtail on 26 Jul 2016, 03:31 ---I see where you're coming from, but making an appointment, with the possibility of cancelling, without consulting Clinton *before* making the appointment seems, to me, a bit presumptous.
--- End quote ---
Yes, it does.
--- Quote ---The decision should be made together with him. Yes, he can say "no", but he could always say no, even if she sprung this at him at the last second. Wouldn't make it 100% right. Making the arrangements before checking for his OK seems pushy.
--- End quote ---
Sure, but also very common among a lot of people. Also, Clinton seems at worst mildly irritated by it and again actually into the idea. Can we not let Clinton make his own choices about how he feels?
--- Quote ---People in the thread may be overreacting, possibly, but I think Claire did not, in fact, completely learn her lesson here. She's not doing anything atrocious, but she still doesn't think to ask ahead of time what Clinton thinks of the idea.
--- End quote ---
Also possible. Pobody's nerfect after all.
--- Quote ---(granted, I'm not very objective here, because I've had anxiety attacks (or whatever those were) upon being informed less than three days in advance that I was going to a friggin' cinema. To get a tattoo, I'd need at least a month or two to get comfortable with the idea, and another month or so to decide on a design. Clinton is clearly not as screwed up as I am, and he *has* been shown to get a tattoo on a whim, basically. But I... guess even a normal person would ideally want to think it through for a few days at least, right? And to be fair, Clinton's USUAL deal seems to be to mull over things for a while, he's not very spontaneous. So I still think Claire seems awfully pushy, given that she knows that about her brother)
--- End quote ---
I also suffer from anxiety so I get that completely, but then, the character in the comic is not you or I. I'd also say Claire would be justified in not really knowing what her brother wants given how mercurial he's been lately. Yeah, he's a mulling things over kinda guy... Except for that night he got his hair cut and a tattoo just because Emily said so. Does Clinton even know Clinton?
--- Quote ---As a side note, I'm a bit surprised that Claire could set an appointment on such short notice. Must be an US thing... my wife, when she did her first tattoo, booked the appointment months and months in advance, because the tattoo artist was fully booked (always is, apparently) at least three months in advance at all times. Granted, that particular artist, from what I gather, is very popular and has a great reputation, so it's probably unusual. Still, a few days? Huh.
--- End quote ---
Jeph has shitloads of tattoos so probably knows more than either of us, but in my very limited experience I would say having the appointment booked that short notice suggests this is one shitty tattoo artist.
TinPenguin:
Interesting that Clinton started out in the comic as someone who wasn't good at respecting other people's boundaries, but from recent events clearly HAS learned his lesson (with a little help from his friends Mister Hose and Little Miss Electrode).
