He's trying to be helpful and drum up some business for Faye. :)
OldGoat:
This is the first time I've felt genuinely sorry for poor Clinton. Having Pintsize attached to your right arm, even for just one frame, is cruel and unusual. Gods, what if the poor bastard needs to scratch and doesn't remember who's there?

--- Quote from: BenRG on 11 Jul 2017, 02:18 ---Not necessarily that weight training is necessary. I just think that Bubbles finds it enjoyable.

She used to be in the military (we're never told which branch) and bonded with her unit. I think she is used to spottting people while they lift, especially foolish young guys trying to lift more than they should.

It sounded like an infantry unit, and one that did black-ops stuff, so maybe Special (Operations) Forces?
Since Bubbles probably has the buoyancy of a large piece of lead - she doesn't appear to be using any chemical reactions that use the oxygen in the ambient air as an oxidant for power-generation (if she did, she wouldn't have to recharge, but would need to top up her fuel reservoir), so she probably doesn't have lungs, or other large, air-filled cavities - I'm guessing that she wouldn't be suited for service with the (Force Recon) Marines or Navy (SEALS) - that service is risky enough for beings that float naturally. So my money would be on the Army.
Another clue might be that Bubbles made it sound like only she was disabled by an EMP during the ambush of her unit, which would point to an outfit that primarily relies on low-tech equipment, i.e. not motorized infantry or similar. More like a unit that would specialize on "old-fashioned" infantry soldiering.
MrNumbers:
In my head, Faye isn't charging $20 for the removal, but for having to take Pintsize back from him.
In which case, she should be charging Pintsize.

--- Quote from: St.Clair on 10 Jul 2017, 22:32 ---... honestly, is there an actual sign on Clinton saying TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME(*), or is that just the impression he seems to give everyone?
* I would also accept "SHAKE ME DOWN FOR MONEY". Like, I'm wondering if he ever got to eat his own lunch in twelve years of school.

He has become the comic's official abuse monkey since Marten started dating Claire. It's just not as funny watching a couple in a loving, stable relationship as it is watching some helpless mess in a series of wacky hijinx.

Oh god, so it's the fucking Whedon Effect?
wait, no, we can't make that call until one of them (probably Claire) gets gratuitously offed/fridged.
