Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: Baphomet on 11 Mar 2018, 21:44 ---Ha ha, yes. Those short people. They sure are comically undesirable. That joke never gets old!
It's funny, I'd imagine that if Jeph had written "YOU'RE LATE! ALSO FATTER THAN I'D LIKE!" everyone would be up in arms, despite the fact that an individual can change their weight but can't really change their height.

That, too, would have been a "Roko has absurd prejudices" joke. Absurdity is funny, prejudice is not.

I occasionally process the things I read in an unusual order, and it happened with this strip. Instead of equating Clinton with the "handsome stranger" Roko predicted would catch her, I saw Clinton (a) calling Roku "ma'am," (b) being told he was late by Roku, and (c) wearing clothing similar in colouration and style to Roku's uniform, and immediately jumped to the conclusion that Clinton had somehow joined the police force since we saw him last.
I mean, it wouldn't be the first time we saw Clinton in an unexpected situation; I was starting to suspect we were getting another "how did Clinton get here?" flashback story before I finally fully processed the strip and realized my mistake.
The unfortunate thing is that, no matter where Jeph goes with the story now, I don't know if it can compete with the crazy ride I thought we were in for for a moment there.

Me too, I think it's cause his clothes are quite dark but I was also thinking "Huh, Clinton's a cop now?" and had to double check.

C'mon shippers, y'all know Clinton is getting none of that; he never does, and likely never will. There'll just be the usual wacky hijinks, involving Clinton maybe getting close, but then circumstances or his own dweebness will torpedo his chances and he'll end up home alone as usual.
Clinton's going to be one of those people who watches others hook up while he simply can't. And will never be able to figure out why.

I don't know about that. Karma is a silly idea, except in personal relations. If you are a right guy long enough, it begins to show on you, and if someone looking for a right guy happens along, they pick up on it. There is no guarantee that someone will come along who wants a right guy bad enough to overlook dweebishness, and if they do, it isn't really karma, but if they do, there you are getting some.
The first rule of helping is that you can't do it with the intent of getting some, though, so it is unlikely that anything will happen here. I don't think the officer has herself anywhere near organized enough to initiate anything. She seems to be somewhere in the early stages of unfocused polymorphous perversity.
