Looks like it's Marten's turn to clean the blood off the floor.

If Clinton gets outta there with anything less than a black eye and a limp, it's gonna be a miracle.

" It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. "

My future wife drove off a would-be rapist almost a foot taller than she was, armed with nothing but a bottle of laundry detergent.

Faye's been working out.

Clinton's in trouble.

I'm surprised nobody's pointed out that now we know for certain he has a human arm, and only his hand is metal (although it looks like there's some sort of switch on his wrist).

And said arm appears to have the same thickness as my 11 year old's.

Although as far as we know, it could be made of adamantium (and covered in skin).

I think the bit in his wrist is a charging point.

Would be a nice change of pace to have Marten go "No Faye, I've got this" and then actually deal effectively with Clinton, with Faye and Hanners looking on wide-eyed in disbelief. But I don't see his "skinny wimpy indie-boy" status being changed that dramatically anytime soon, if ever.

Either Faye or Hanners herself is gonna end up dealing with Clinton. Never Marten.

I thought it was where the hand attaches to the arm. Charging kinda makes more sense though.

Faye and Marten (and Hanners if she can deal with the touching and the blood) should team-hit Clinton. As somebody once said: "If the fight is fair, you're doing it wrong."

Been reading Questionable Content for the past two years or so. Clinton is like the first character I can relate to mainly because he's the biggest loser and it seems like everyone hates him. If something bad happens to him, I will stop reading this comic. I'm really tired of bad things happening to characters I can relate to.

OK, one last wildass guess before Jeph starts drawing: Hanners takes care of business with no bloodshed. Marten and Faye gain new respect for their upstairs friend.

themacnut · « **Reply #216 on:** 20 Apr 2011, 22:11 »

Clinton's not that bad a guy, he just has no concept of proper social boundaries. He needs some social...readjustment, which he's on the verge of getting, in a rather violent manner. But as others have pointed out, thumping him may not be enough to educate him-he'll just be wondering why people are doing random violence to him for no apparent reason and conclude that everyone else is crazy. Probably nothing less than the object of his obsession herself giving him a proper talking to (read: shouting at) will suffice.

Let's see if Hanners is up to the job...

You beat me to it!

I like this scenario - it could, handled with Jeph's usual skill and creativity, be a really comforting, healing moment, after that painful period not so long ago. . .

The core cast reuniting to set some creep straight and reaffirm their abiding friendship... it brings a happy tear to my eye ...

Goddammit, stop complaining about the fans that obsess over Hannelore and then making her so dang moe!

That was a fine twist though, making Clinton so sympathetic. He's still creepy though, given he had a day to make this revelation before getting to the coffeeshop, but better while tied to a chair than while watching Faye dig his grave to bury him alive. Plus, he really needs to lose the caught-in-a-windstorm look.

Also, we have our line of the week, I believe.

Clinton is the master of pathos.

I wish I could have a metal hand and mastery over pathos. Though I'd use my powers for good, rather than stalking. Like strangling criminals with my metal grip, then giving impassioned pleas to a jury for release.

Ya know... hypothetically

Sympathy is a fair response, but you can see why his actions aren't acceptable, right? Jeph isn't as mean as us and there probably won't be as much face-stomping as some of us would like (or pretend we'd like), but he's a stalker and can't expect a hero's welcome.

NOOOOOOOO. Wouldn't work. She probably spent her childhood surrounded by that kind of guy; the fact that she's hanging out with her current friends shows a lot of personal growth, and to step back into her dad's world would be a total regression.

(I realise you were probably partly joking, I'm just pre-empting shippers here!)

Also, don't untie him, he needs to learn.

Definitely not enough sleep; murderin' annoying /creepy/stupid customers has been a running joke at CoD basically since Faye first showed up.

Besides, wouldn't it have been worse if she'd said they "hardly ever let [her] murder anyone (any more)?"

Or if Hannerdad is anything like Ms. Chatham, then i'd predict something like:
"Hmm, i've never noticed that little numeric display over there. Uh oh, why did it start a countdown? Ohhh sh-----"

Though it seems that Clinton did realize, how creepy he actually was (or at least it seems so). So, despite the creepiness/overzealousness of the interview incident & faux pas with the picture, in some weird way.. D'aaaaawwwww

I find it a pleasant change of pace that Marten is the one doing the yelling in this instance. While Faye is the one using the threat of violence, unmistakably bad cop, Marten is a more neutral variant who is still willing to slip Faye off her leash at any moment.

Too bad Hanners is such a softie and Marten's a softie for our little moe mascot. Anyway, progress, of sorts!
