So Clinton's middle-aged mom gets more play than her son, and this is revealed not long after one of the women he's interested in just walks home without him. Yep, the stereotype of the more-or-less likable loser is being set up quite nicely for this guy.
I don't think that the mere fact that his mother happens to be getting laid when he's not makes him a "loser."
Sometimes I get the impression that the comic and forums are in a constant state of amazement at the revelation that "old" people have sex.
It's not just that Clinton's mom is getting laid while he's not. It's that she's getting laid with men around her son's age while said son can barely get non-related women to even talk to him. And in this latest comic we learn that even his sister has had more fun experiences than him. Not to mention she has a boyfriend.
Okay, this is irritating me, so I'm just going to try and unpack it.
"... she's getting laid with men around her son's age"
Good on her?
"... can barely get non-related women to even talk to him"
This is not true. It's true that he's nervous around women he's attracted to, but there are plenty of examples of women talking to him in the strip, so I have no idea how you can claim this with a straight face, except that you're exaggerating to try and justify calling someone a loser (which is kind of shitty to begin with).
"even his sister has had more fun experiences than him"
What do you mean by "
even his sister"? What are you saying? "
Even Claire has had more fun, what a terrible loser Clinton must be." That doesn't say a lot for your opinion of Claire, I guess.
But go ahead, continue to characterise anyone who hasn't had sex by a certain age when those around them have as losers. That will make all of the late bloomers on the forums feel very welcome.
