Poor Elliot.
And now Clinton will probably piss himself... :evil:

Are we sure Clinton actually really wants to be with Brun? I mean yeah he thinks she's attractive but at this point, I think he just wants to pee. Also, we know that Clinton thought Brun liked Elliot (during the arc where he goes to the bar and Elliot accidentally crushes his hand) but does he actually think Elliot wants Brun? Would he even consider that he's taking her away from Elliot?

Clinton has just sat watching Brun work for an hour or so in return for five words out of her. He wants to be with Brun.
Clinton has reason to believe that Elliot has a crush on Brun: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3496, and the next few.

About the whole drunk thing: I would get really stupid when drunk, but not uninhibited. Alcohol doesn't give me the Dunning-Kruger effect, where my stupidity takes the form of baseless self-confidence. I get slow and anxious: "Please, don't take the reading. Put flowers on Algernon's grave for me."
Speed, now . . . Were I ever to have taken speed, I might have found that it makes me smarter and more able, but not nearly as smart and able as I think, and not nearly smart and able enough to outweigh the accompanying bad-tempered obsessiveness. Luckily, speed is illegal, so that never happened.

I just wish that Elliot would snap to and figure out that Renee is a perfectly good woman and likes him. Pointless suffering is pointless.

Good woman? When Angus broke up with Renee, Marigold and Momo started singing “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead”.
ckridge:
Renee is remarkably like Faye. Angus likes them verbally abusive, and brings it out in them. Faye, I need hardly point out, serves as the unattainable desirable women in this strip, as Helen of Troy, as Deirdre of the Sorrows, despite having no respect for others' boundaries, violently defended boundaries of her own, an unreliable temper, and conveniently placed social blind spots. She is, withal, a good woman. The good ones are never easy, except sometimes in the vulgar colloquial sense.
There are damned few easy women in this strip. Dora is racked by insecurity. Hannelore is as mad as cheese and can't be touched. Brun is a very fine specimen of whatever the hell it is she is, but you have to work that out as you go. Claire is helpy, shy, and awkward. Marigold is only just learning to be social. Tai is about the only exception I can think of, and she is not so much easy as a very experienced, competent girlfriend.
In general, QC is a comedy of bad manners. People rush about madly like dogs in a dog park, periodically slam into each other, sniff, wag, apologize, make up, and go back to barreling around madly again. There is a lot more good-heartedness than good manners in this strip. Renee is no exception.
