To be fair, Elliot actually responded in kind. In my experience, that's generally a sign that he's not going to run away.
While I'm commenting, I should probably just make an open apology to anyone who has helped me come to that conclusion, especially those who put the 'generally' part in that conclusion.
To all of you, I'm deeply sorry. That said, I know me. It will happen again, regardless of how sorry I am. I'm very sorry about that.

You seem to have missed the possibility that Emily made Clinton's shirt. That feels like it's probably closer to QC canon than your suggestions.
Some Ed
2021-03-13 04:32:05 +0000 UTC
Somehow, given Jeph, I think we're probably going to continue not seeing any testicles. To be fair, there's a higher chance of seeing testicles here than if we were reading El Goonish Shive right now. We'd also be a lot less likely to be seeing complaints from Yelling Bird.
Some Ed
2021-03-13 04:30:32 +0000 UTC
I feel it's probably important to assert that whether or not one noticed that Clinton's wearing a shirt Emily apparently made is not properly diagnostic in terms of strokes.
I mean, technically, Wednesday is closer to right than wrong, but it's not a definitely one way or the other. People are change-blind, and depending on where one has a stroke, it could have absolutely no effect on ones vision or visual recognition. It's also theoretically possible for a stroke to happen such that it has massive effects on vision and causes one to see all sorts of things.

Alright, what are the current theories on Clinton's colour shift shirt?
Is it signs that Jeff has finally embraced Q? Is Clinton really Two people who can swap places, teleport like, and one has fetched one of Elliot's shirts to wear? Is the shirt really a Yay?
There Must be a secret code! But will we ever know it?

maybe it's one of those things like the blue/black or gold/cream dress.

They had sex between the third and fourth panels and Clinton put on the wrong shirt. Then they had sex again between the fourth and fifth panels.

There's just such a strong connection Clinton's shirt changed to match Elliot's
2021-03-11 15:10:24 +0000 UTC
I noticed that immediately too and nearly had a stroke myself
2021-03-11 14:35:17 +0000 UTC
Nah no stroke. I see it too (or maybe we're both having a stroke)
2021-03-11 14:15:48 +0000 UTC
Am I having a stroke or did Clinton's shirt change colour?
Scott Kenney
2021-03-11 14:01:50 +0000 UTC
Yeah, but it's those differences that give Clinton and Elliott a spark. Also, this comic shows C & E's chemistry nicely.
Matt Pedone
2021-03-11 13:41:45 +0000 UTC
Look, Elliott, it’s great you follow the works of Dr. Kelly Weinersmith, but are you sure these are subjects for polite company? Even if I have to admit your interlocutors started them.
Comics Ladybird
2021-03-11 13:24:26 +0000 UTC
So, in the first panel Clinton is still talking about his mom?
Also, this once again proves that Aurelia is a better match for Elliott - she probably doesn't know a lot of "internet things" and is happy about it.
Evgeniy Semyonov
2021-03-11 12:49:36 +0000 UTC
Clinton... What the hell? Literally: What? The? Hell? I mean, to discuss tapeworms before eating?!?
Elliot, just run away.
Elliot should hang out with Hanelore. They could talk about wholesome things and never learn about internet-things

The part of me that believes in finding your one is bumping up against my wanting to watch a cougar consume its prey and possibly be lost herself in finding someone she could have for good.

Both Elliot and Roko are interested in Clinton. And bread, albeit not in quite the same way. Clinton's interested in both Roko and Elliot. I'm shipping a yeasty threesome.

Scrolled through all 100+ comments to make an original one: Clinton wants Elliott so bad he willed himself into shirt harmony briefly

Did Clinton borrow Claire's shorts or something?
Daniel S

I was gonna mention Clinton's shirt changing colors in panel 3. But maybe in the QC universe fabrics can change colors like a mood ring. I mean, they have robots..
2021-03-11 03:41:27 +0000 UTC
I always figured it was George Clinton, and the amount of chill he has turned out to be ironic at best.
Mad Marie
2021-03-11 03:41:01 +0000 UTC
I should have seen this before. Clinton is named after William Jefferson Clinton. That isn't directly related to this strip, it is just something I realized.

2021-03-11 03:33:09 +0000 UTC
I wonder if he's wearing a "mood shirt"
2021-03-11 03:28:00 +0000 UTC
Hey: anyone else notice that Elliot’s pants are a different color in the first panel?
Mad Marie
2021-03-11 03:26:43 +0000 UTC
Once I was on a date at a restaurant where the dishes were listed on the menu under the headings FISH /POULTRY / MEAT, and my date gets a sour look on his face, and says, “first intermediate host, second intermediate host, definitive host — no wonder you’re a vegetarian.”

2021-03-11 03:01:17 +0000 UTC
Elliot is correct. I know a lot of internet things and could just as easily live a full life without this burden. I'm terrified my daughter will make the same explorations because she is, after all, her father's daughter.
