Sober Clinton is a passable human being, but Drunk Clinton is a five-level jerk.

MercuryBuddha

Or, more to the point, fails to blow it..... XD

Jeff Solomon

Patsy Cline but worse!

Grace Kieser

He passed liquid courage three beers ago and is deep into liquid ass territory, now!

The World Famous Chocomerican

I'm hoping we get some assertiveness from Elliot that woos Clinton somewhat.

Ya know, I've been rooting for Elliot/Clinton, but maybe Elliot deserves better 🙃

Andy McNamara

There he is! There's the Clinton I remember!

Kriss Pang

I can't say I have a good grasp, but I think Elliot was attracted to her and Clinton should really let him down gently rather than shatter his dreams like this! Just seems vaguely tactless.

Solomon Garland

... Can someone with a normal grasp of social skills understand why this is Really Bad rather than just like... too casual a way to mention it? I've been trying to figure out why this counts as blowing it since the comic was posted 😅😅

William Karr

Clinton: WHO WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND?!? I’ve never seen anyone self destruct so fast before...

cakecake

This is legitimately one of the funniest Clinton comics lmao

Mark

I very much doubt that he'd hurt him, but it is still a disturbing one even if just so out of character.

oh no Clinton.

David Warren

*head desk* Clinton... idiot...

Jim

"Sips tea."

Raven Razor

The look on Elliot's face actually *scares* me. CLINTON, RUN

Cleo Schmitz

Nooo, don't hurt Elliot and especially don't double-hurt him?!

Drunks. Huh...

Why are you hurting the cinnamon roll like this, Jeph. Have you no sense of decency?

Stephen Wells

Some people get beer goggles, some people get a beer megaphone.

Bagge

I'm gonna go with... It's great! Glad that's sorted out. Now kiss.

Ian Wolfe

God dammit, Clinton! /facepalm

darklion

i see, the liquid courage was courage to be an ass

Pejo

Those quotation marks are doing some serious heavy lifting here

Kherbellos

god damnit...

Siiiiiiiiiiigh.

Evgeniy Semyonov

Once again we see why this bar is named Horrible Revelation.

EnterTheHero

God. Dammit.

Lee B.

You dumbass Clinton 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

LuckyMag7

Go home Clinton you're drunk. Here's hoping Elliot recognizes drank too much due to nerves stupid. Clinton just doesn't have social skills appropriate for the situation and drank too much.

Dkrewe

nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Krista Elliott

Clinton. No. You dumbass. You're hurting Elliot by telling him Brun isn't interested in him. AND you're hurting Elliot by demonstrating very clearly that Brun is your first choice. You DOUBLE-HURT ELLIOT, YOU SHITWEASEL.

Khodi_K

Seeellllfffff Deesssttrrruuccttiioon for two pages now. Oh Clinton. You drank cause you were afraid. Looked for an "out" on your feelings by chasing down other feelings, and then you just run your mouth to complete the destruction.

Julia Allen-Hesse

Clinton you’re being a putz.

Mari San

Dude yikes.... Clinton is so rude he deserves to be rejected by Elliot right here and there and make ammends afterwards

wound

Well, on the plus side, Clinton's about to not need to worry about whether he wants to actually hook up with Elliot.

Captain Button

Some of it may be that he is clueless and believed all the bullshit society hands out about being honest and open and assuming other people are too.

Captain Button

Tomorrow Clinton wakes up from a horrible nightmare. Day after we see who he is in bed with and things get even worse.

KHawk

I’m rooting for a combination murder-by-Claire and withering glare from Bubbles

SpookyPenguin

God I'm nd and I'm not this insensitively stupid, how *does* Clinton manage to do it??

Captain Button

Clinton, when someone turns you down, there is only one bit of information there, that they aren't interested. You have to assume that anything else is just polite social lies intended to spare your feelings. Don't pass it on, don't try to change to fit it, and don't wait for them to break up with their Canadian grilfriend. They aren't interested in you. This is the only thing you have learned. Accept it and move on. Yeah it sucks, and yeah it is hard to deal with, but that's the world we live in. (Yes, Brun might not be the type to do that, but if you were good at reading people you wouldn't be in this situation.)

gatherer818

I understood that reference!

Brent

Clinton why are you like this

WHY IS HURTING ELLIOT like this?!!!!! I just thought he'd blow it by being too drunk.

I'mma just curl into a little ball. This is hard.

CalmWeaver27

Ahhh I can't. I CAN'T

James Roy

I have this image where Clinton is a plane and just flies into a mountain over and over again NYEEEEEEER BOOM. NYEEEEEEER BOOM. NYEEEEEEER BOOM.

Chelsea

Wow, this is so painful to watch. Bad moves, Clinton

Czarzhan

In Clinton's defense, he's drunker than he thinks he is.

I think it's that he's supposed to be on this "hang out" with Elliot and he instead is pursuing someone else. Elliot seems mostly okay with it, but it can't feel good that Clinton is more interested in someone else. And also maybe Elliot is thinking about how he's waiting to hear about how Clinton feels about him, not how Brun feels? That's my best guess! :)

JD

but legit, is this due to Clinton’s nerves or his overall obliviousness? or a little of both?

Please tell me this is some kind of....April Fools in late October thing that I've never heard of. No no no no no no no. No. No. Ugh, Clinton.

JD

this night was meant to end in Elliot and Clinton kissing god dammit

Remy!

I can’t actually see what he did wrong here. He’s not told Brun Elliots keen on her, nor has he said anything about Elliots attraction to him. And if Elliot is allowed to have a crush on two people at once it’s gonna be a little bit fucked if he gets mad at Clinton for expressing his interest in Brun and getting shot down. Legit only wrong thing I can see here is Clinton telling Elliot what Brun said, and even that I’m confused by, was he supposed to keep it to himself and watch Elliot crash and burn like he did? Someone please help, I’m an innocent autistic guy who can’t figure this out TwT

Chuck Dee

Hoooo boy....

YIKES BIKES

Yuu Yi

Clinton can write a book on how to eat shoes by now, jeeze

Solomon Garland

He was just trying to help...

Daniel S

ABORT, ABORT, WHERE IS THE EJECT LEVER I WANT OFF THIS RIDE

dragonkittyrawr

CLINTON NO!!!!

Jason Wotzko

If this were Oglaf, there'd be a resulting chance of a greater polycule or sexy fun times?

Scott Gosnell

Clinton, I want you to stay away from my large son from now on.

CLINTON NO

Just Jupiter (Chelsea)

Jeph nukes all the ships. Next week, Dora and Tai breakup. Then bubbles and Faye. By end of year, everyone will be single again.

Aleks

I'm not sure if I'm more upset that Clinton is spotlighting Elliot's attraction to Brun being one-sided, or that he's lampshading that Elliot's attraction to Clinton is honestly also one-sided.

Shawn K. Younkin

Bwhahahahah!!! Claire and Clinton are masters at "helping".

xamaryllix

Aww yeah Clinton incel arc begins NAO.

Brian

To be honest I would prefer unrelated dog adventure (tm) to the ensuing awkwardness of Elliot and Clinton

Cal

☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

Nicholas Lopez

CLINTON NO

awgiedawgie

And Clinton _continues_ to make an ass of himself.

Cley Faye

Coming up next, six week of unrelated dog adventure.

Maria E.

We have a new reining champion of self sabotage.

Tim Keating

And now, Jeph cuts to a story about library science for three weeks.

JD

Everyone was saying that Clinton was blowing it yesterday, but I defended him. I was wrong. I hope he immediately realizes what he did and is able to salvage the night by apologizing, but it's not looking good.

Michael Boettger

He could have just said " Ran into Brun downstairs and had a nice chat. Um, after I peed." But he had to go and wound Eliot.

Paul Higdon

Wtf, Clinton?

Technoir

Clinton, you dolt. You were already somewhat unlikeable, now you're just an asshole.

Matthew Van Gangelen

Well people were predicting something like this yesterday. Though the sheer scale of it...

Tina Pegar

Oh Clinton so not what should have happened.

Rat

every page this week I have gone "wow Clinton is making terrible decisions, at least he can't make any worse ones." and each day I am surprised to find he can in fact make worse decisions.

Andrew L Butula

On the one hand, yeah, apparently bitter, drunken Clinton thinks "tact" is a thing you use to hang posters. On the other he did save Elliot a really awkward conversation.

JD

Clinton are you tryna make EVERYONE not attracted to you???

Katrina Urmson

Awwwwwwwww Clinton..... >_<;;

Matthew Van Gangelen

It’s too late, he’s already been born.

Michael Boettger

The look on Eliot's face is heartbreaking. I'm ascribing this to alcohol. But Clinton, you're a jerk.

Dylan T

I'm impressed he could fit both feet in his mouth and still talk so coherently.

drone r0m-3

*flips table over* FUUUUUUUUCK!

lilibat

Wow wow wow, oh no.

Absynthe

Three beers, two brain cells, and not a single fucking clue. (Not that I haven't done shit like that myself...)

Populuxe

And Clinton is so proud of himself right now.

Matt Grayson

Ayup. Pretty much as expected. Doesn't make it easier to take, though. If'n you don't got empathy, no amount of training will really help.

Erin Moriarty

Sometimes I wish I could make the characters from this series read the comic. He needs to learn from Marten's mistakes 🤣🤣

Mark Thomas

His figurative foot is already so deep in his mouth he's practically choking on it...

Runhildr Zaetl

Aww, Clinton, honey, no. Poor Elliot.

schmod

Claire might actually kill him.

Samantha Yeaman

WELP.

R L

Clinton gods damn it.

Spoogle McGee

Maybe give him a robot foot he can shove in his mouth.

Alex Kosnett

Zeph

Jeph why are you hurting me I need joy in my life right now

RaptorShadow

Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Alcaria Swain

Trying to remember if Martin was ever this bad right now

Miyaa

Next week: Steve makes waffles while Patreon fans buy out pitchforks & harpoons against Clinton.

Celine Chamberlin

Clinton just shouldn't go on dates, sort of dates, or maybe even talk to people at all. It might be best to just skip right ahead to the sexy times stuff. You know, for the greater good and all that.

I saw the comic title in the Patreon notification and didn’t even have to open the comic to know this was gonna hurt like hell 😖
