Huzzah for Elliott!    :-D
(Hmmm....I wonder if this is sneaky foreshadowing for Padma making a brief return appearance,
I wish this would happen too. But hope deferred maketh the heart sick . . .

I really don't see that Padma returning would have any kind of impact right now. At most there would be a brief moment of confusion and jealousy if she showed up and immediately went for the lip lock with Marten in front of Claire. But I don't see that happening, and I don't see anything less than that would make drama at all. (or maybe a 'So, it's been a year Marten.. would you like to see your child', which Jeph wouldn't do) Marten has moved on, he's not really been seen as the kind of person who secretly pines after someone or goes behind the person he's dating back. And he's very happy with Claire. So Padma showing up would likely at the most tender an awkward explanation of 'um well.. I'm glad to see you again and all, but I'm kind of dating a co-worker now....'

I don't think it's the Horrible Revelation. I mean it could be, we haven't seen a lot of the inside of the bar.
We have enough interior shots of the Horrible Revelation to establish they aren't there, unless they demolished the next door building to put in a window and did some redecorating:

oh I dunno..  the wall colors are the same, we just haven't seen enough interior wall to see the weird art yet,

plus, Elliott's shirt does say SECURITY, which I think is a bigger hint than any cues we should take from background comparison analysis

Wow- that's one douchebag of a dude. Who hits a guy just for THAT? Then raises his fist to a WOMAN?

Okay, let's be real, Clinton is much smaller and weaker than Emily.

I dunno metal hands could make getting hit worse than it might otherwise be. I mean he has built in metal knuckles

Two problems with that;

1) Clinton's clearly not the fighting type. Not only is he too small and weak for it, but he can't take a punch either.

2) That metal hand could legally qualify as a deadly weapon precisely because of the damage it could do. Clinton hits someone with it, he'd better be gone before the cops arrive or he's most likely going directly to jail.

With those two points in mind, Clinton's best move after being hit is to fall down, stay down and hope his aggressor isn't into kicking someone when they're down. Or that someone else is nearby to rescue him, which worked this time.

Wow, an actual conversation between Clinton and Emily instead of a Shame Montage.  Although the jury's still out on that black eye and the boots, so don't get too complacent.

(Also, friendly reminder that he's going to regret that tattoo.  But I suspect I'm the only one here who thinks so...)

No drunk bubbles.

And he seems almost relaxed now. Almost like he is just being himself right now. His body language seems to say the same. Maybe there's still hope :D

Still no title on the last strip.

Before this altercation, I had gotten the idea in my head that Clinton was actually a scrappy fighter from having to protect his sister over the years. It probably came from the cottage arc when Clinton aggressively took the coffee from Marten as if he was expecting something to go bad. The age gap and a dozen other signs should've disabused me of that notion, but there it is.

Ell-iott is almost as fun to pronounce weird as Clin-tonn is

Plus I *think* he's the only character taller than Emily. I think his height is defined as "tall enough to loom awkwardly over any other characters in the frame"

Elliott and Ira Gamagori should hang out.

Well, this has been going better than I expected. I'd thought Clinton would do some horribly off-putting thing that would make Emily ditch him in disgust. Instead, they seem to be bonding over his makeover and the bar incident. He could still blow it, I suppose, but I'm hoping not.

There's still some mayhem to come; the black eye conceivably could have come from the punch, or it might be still to come from the bully returning to take revenge now they are out of the bar. I'm inclined to think the boots are Clinton's pre-existing footwear, and all that'll happen is he's going to pull up his pant legs for some reason. Maybe as part of a fight with the bully since Elliot is out of the picture?

(Also, friendly reminder that he's going to regret that tattoo.  But I suspect I'm the only one here who thinks so...)

I'm thinking the boots and black eye are related. He gets something he's not used to walking in, trips over his own feet (or over Emily's feet going in for a kiss) and gets the black eye by hitting something on the way down.

Which reminds me of the time I got a nosebleed after a particularly clumsy kiss...  :laugh:

If he stays as relaxed as he is in this frame, I think the night isn't going to end up that badly (or at least will end up turning out better than he thinks given all that's gone down). I could see him being glum and dejected and being completely surprised when Emily asks if/when they're going out again.

After seeing the last week + of the date I'm kinda thinking that after Clinton sends Claire a pic he will say he had the most awesome night ever. Or something to that effect. Because it seems to me the more of the "awful" things that happen to him the more he seems to be able to loosen up and actually enjoy the date.

In the  archive list the title is "Clinton's Bizarre Adventure"

Yeah, that's what it was before he edited it.

Which of course means this is Clinton in 40 years.

Not all decisions made rashly are regretted. It all depends on the long term. If say Clinton and Emily do end up together he could see it as a fond reminder of the beginning of a life changing adventure, actually he could see it that way regardless of his future relationship status.

I dunno, it still feels out of character for Clinton and contrary to how he views his prosthetic.  He takes great pride in having a cybernetic limb, and a power outlet tattoo seems much too jokey/irreverent, and I hate to think that one date with a pretty girl is going to change that about him.

Still, there's been so much back-and-forth between ordinary date stuff and Big Mistakes that I'm getting whiplash, and despite the last panel of #2931 it's hard to tell just how this date is going to end, or how Clinton will feel about it when it does.  I just feel like erasing all of Clinton's mistakes with one peck on the cheek will completely cheapen the experience.  But maybe I'm being too cynical about all this.



(And I'm going to stomp my little feet until someone agrees with me on this.)

I checked back to the first cartoon after the time skip, and his black shoes didn't have as much detail at the front that the boots do, but that might be a distance-detail thing.  Also, chicken smells like fish.

Okay, let's be real, Clinton is much smaller and weaker than Emily.
Hah- well possibly, though Emily's still skinny as a beanpole, and would blow over in a stiff breeze- she's the exact same width Clinton is in the most-recent strip. Neither of them is built for fighting- also she's practically sticking her chin out and asking to be hit in that last panel- not the proper stance of a fighter. If the guy actually followed through with his punch, she'd be in trouble (especially if he doesn't stop at the one).

Well, at least he can joke about it... Or maybe he's being serious! Perhaps inscrutability of seriousness is another thing that they have in common. Still, it's a good sign that the initial desperate nervousness has died away. Maybe Clinton's sense of the ridiculous has taken over?

We still have to find out about the rest. I wonder if there i s one more dare awaiting Clinton tonight and, with it, lost shoes? Riding wheelie bins down a hill and into an ornamental pond in the park maybe?

I don't think it's the Horrible Revelation. I mean it could be, we haven't seen a lot of the inside of the bar. It just seems that Punchy Bro wouldn't be the sort who would hang out there. I could see Clinton going, maybe. Elliott could have changed bars, or works part time in a couple of them. If it is indeed the same Elliott. And really, I could totally see him working at the Revelation... And defusing fights by giving people a stern talking to.

We have enough interior shots of the Horrible Revelation to establish they aren't there, unless they demolished the next door building to put in a window and did some redecorating:
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1650
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1464
Though it does have a pool table that comes and goes:
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1429

I wonder if the Date Bar could be the other end of the bar from http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1182, which is a closer match, except for the ceiling.  Either way I think Elliot is off duty and he's bouncing pro bono to help out Clinton, who is clearly of Elliot's tribe in the romance department and flailing in every sense of the term. 

Fake Edit:  Not sure if this phenomenon exists in NoHo, but in my college town if students wander into a townie bar they could pretty easily get a swat or thrown out for a fairly minor bar foul.

It looks like a view from behind the bar of the front door, which I think is simply a perspective we've not yet seen.

I'm not convinced he's off duty... his shirt seems to say "SECURITY."

Sorry for the late response. Also, my ability to post from my phone sucks.

I dunno, it still feels out of character for Clinton and contrary to how he views his prosthetic.  He takes great pride in having a cybernetic limb, and a power outlet tattoo seems much too jokey/irreverent, and I hate to think that one date with a pretty girl is going to change that about him.

Still, there's been so much back-and-forth between ordinary date stuff and Big Mistakes that I'm getting whiplash, and despite the last panel of #2931 it's hard to tell just how this date is going to end, or how Clinton will feel about it when it does.  I just feel like erasing all of Clinton's mistakes with one peck on the cheek will completely cheapen the experience.  But maybe I'm being too cynical about all this.



(And I'm going to stomp my little feet until someone agrees with me on this.)
I actually see him as likely to go in for a "touch-up" at a later date and modifying it such that he comes back out of the tattoo parlor with a proud mechanical-themed sleeve, with the outlet edited to the extent that it's no longer recognizable as such, but rather is split into being one mechanical component here, another mechanical component there.

After that, he'd probably be a-ok with it on all levels. Except for the faces he made in pain at the tattoo artist while it was being done.

A Prediction:
Clinton's black-eye is self inflicted. I'm guessing that he's going to crash into the flagpole whilst running for some reason. I've done something similar whilst distracted; my glasses survived but my dignity didn't and I got a nice shiner for my troubles.

To me, the great unanswered mystery is the boots and the fact that Clinton's trousers seem to have changed from formal to jeans.

You've got to love a comic that throws in a Tyco Brahe reference. I'm sure Clinton knows all about him.  :claireface:

Well if we're going to go for historical references to prosthetic noses, we may as well have jokes almost as old.

Emily is fascinated with robotics and AI in general, which bodes well for a potential relationship with Clinton. However, there are still a few things from last week's revelation that need explaining:
  • The black eye
  • Clinton's boots
  • Where is Emily?
  • How did the date go? Admittedly, Clinton looked rather disappointed, but that may be due to misinterpreting Emily's strange ways. Emily's idea of a goodbye is a quick smooch, and then running away.
I think there is still hope, but we need to be patient a few days more.

After seeing the last week + of the date I'm kinda thinking that after Clinton sends Claire a pic he will say he had the most awesome night ever. Or something to that effect. Because it seems to me the more of the "awful" things that happen to him the more he seems to be able to loosen up and actually enjoy the date.

Calling it now. The picture he takes is of a smiling Emily.

Or perhaps after all that's happened, Emily decides she doesn't want a second date, because Clinton is too weird.  :psyduck:

A part of me is expecting the last picture in this arc to be similar to the publicity still from When Harry Met Sally. A wide-eyed Clinton lying in bed, whilst a blissfully smiling Emily is hugging him to her (although their height differential would give the picture a slightly comedic feel).

That aside, I'm calling it now that this arc will continue into next week in order to explain the boots and black eye. I'm thinking we'll see the rest of Claire's call to Clinton on Wednesday next week.

I'm for that, if only because this "tragic comedy" date is helping to offset the candy coated saccharin that was the Martin/Claire date.

Clinton is wearing different trousers and footwear while saying "Let me send you a picture" Therefore at some stage inthe evening he took off the old ones. This is usually a sign that a date is going very well indeed . . . . but I bet there is some other explanation!

I'm not sure he does change pants. I'm seeing black/dark gray pants and suspenders in both the "let me send you a picture" frame, and all subsequent comics.

The boots are definitely different, though. So we have those and the black eye yet to come (and Emily's absence, though I fear that this is directly related to the black eye).
