OTOH, none of them have shown any indication they are not interested in being poly, either.
Emperor Norton:
The thing is, Elliot has clearly shown a negative interest in it, as with all the romantic interests he has had in the comic, he has always seen other possible romantic partners of his attraction as competition (granted, he also tends to not see himself as up to the competition either). That isn't the mindset of a poly person.
bhtooefr:
Here's a question: does someone have to be poly themselves to be happy in a consensually poly relationship?
Granted, jealousy will sink a poly relationship - and I don't think Elliot would be happy - but I'm someone who's monoromantic/monoamorous to a fault... yet I've come to the realization that given the right circumstances, I wouldn't have any problem if a partner was seeing someone else, as long as she's open about it with both me and her other partner(s), they're respectful to her, and I'm not treated as a third wheel or a "side-dick".
Thrillho:
You just described an exact scenario where it is fine. A common issue with poly is trying to make sure it's 'even' but that just isn't how it works. There's nothing wrong with being okay with your partner having other partners when you don't want any.
KevxD:
The transformation of Clint from an annoying dweeb to an interesting, relatable character is very impressive.
