...what? He looks kinda chunky to me. I mean, I'm sure he's got plenty of muscle underneath, but it seems pretty clear it's not all muscle.

I'm a stocky 5'5" (65cm) and 226 lbs (~102.5 kg), so the estimate feels like it lines up to me.
Any tall guys with broad shoulders want to weigh in this?

Let's put it this way. I'm a big guy. Never been tiny, 6 foot 2, little bit taller with my boots on. I still wear t-shirts and jeans that I used to wear when I was in high school. Center for the Football team back then. Now, Security Director for an R&D plant, hanging out at biker bars and gatherings when I'm not at work. Most people guess me around 210, or 220 pounds when the topic comes up and then don't believe me when I tell them 340. It actually won me quite a bit of money at one party. No one believing me, me drunk enough to ignore my self-esteem issues and start taking bets, then sending one of the guys to get the shipping scale out of the warehouse lol.
It really depends on your build and frame. I know a LOT of big guys. Some of them look good, carry it well, while someone else who's same weight and has it filling out different areas? Not so much.
Elliot on the other hand, tall and looks like he's got a little bit of padding to him, but it might be the way he carries himself. Most of the times in the comic, when I remember seeing him, he's got that forward lean to his neck and shoulders, not a full slouch but someone that's not comfortable with himself. Then when it comes to "business mode" back get's straighter, shoulders wider and suddenly you feel much taller then before. I might be projecting though. There's far too many similarities that I see with Elliot the more he's in the comic. :-\

Elliot has framed his problem as a lack of courage, which is to my mind the correct way of looking at it. The old division of labor is that men got physical and verbal courage, and women got emotional courage, leaving everyone crippled. Elliot lacks emotional courage.

Clinton: Harem Anime Protagonist. Now we just need to find out that his dad is Space King and that he and Claire have super powers.

I just hope that this doesn't go the way of Naruto, with Elliott, Brun, Roko and Emily (and possibly even the tattooed waitress) fighting behind his back for 'Clinton-kun's' attention only to snap apart and try to appear happy and harmonious whenever he looks towards the noise.
ckridge:
I really like this strip. It is both funny and bitterly ironic, with Clinton giving Elliot just what he wants in a form in which it is of no use to him.
The chance of a polyamorous relationship has dropped sharply, since both Clinton and Elliot are treating Elliot's crushing on both Brun and the unnamed cute guy as a dilemma, a choice between incompatible alternatives. If that's the way they think of it, they think of it that way.
There hasn't been a sexual or romantic relationship between men in this strip yet, though we have a relationship between women and one between a cis guy and a trans woman. This is the usual order of events. Many people are far less comfortable at seeing physical affection between two men than between almost any other possible two people.
I have no idea whether Clinton can or will return Elliot's affections, but I don't think he would be shocked by them. Because Clinton is a dweebish, repressed, middle-class white guy, we tend to forget that he is also the fiercely protective younger brother of a trans woman. He is situated so as to be disposed to think well of sexual minorities.
Elliot's expressions and gestures are very fetching. His nose has been broken at some point. You almost never see a guy whose nose has been broken pressing both hands to his heart.
