Clinton Blows It

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

Sleepy John

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

MercuryBuddha

Patsy Cline but worse!

Jeff Solomon

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

Grace Kieser

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

The World Famous Chocomerican

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

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

Andy McNamara

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.

Kriss Pang

... 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 😅😅

Solomon Garland

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

William Karr

This is legitimately one of the funniest Clinton comics lmao

cakecake

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

Mark

oh no Clinton.

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

David Warren

"Sips tea."

Jim

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

Raven Razor

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

Cleo Schmitz

Drunks. Huh...

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

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

Stephen Wells

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

Bagge

God dammit, Clinton! /facepalm

Ian Wolfe

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

darklion

Those quotation marks are doing some serious heavy lifting here

Pejo

god damnit...

Kherbellos

Siiiiiiiiiiigh.

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

Evgeniy Semyonov

God. Dammit.

EnterTheHero

You dumbass Clinton 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Lee B.

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.

LuckyMag7

nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Dkrewe

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.

Krista Elliott

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.

Khodi_K

Clinton you’re being a putz.

Julia Allen-Hesse

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

Mari San

oh

wound

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

fluffy

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.

Captain Button

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

KHawk

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

SpookyPenguin

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.)

Captain Button

I understood that reference!

gatherer818

Clinton why are you like this

Brent

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.

Ahhh I can't. I CAN'T

CalmWeaver27

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.

James Roy

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

Chelsea

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

Czarzhan

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! :)

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

JD

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.

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

JD

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

Remy!

Hoooo boy....

Chuck Dee

YIKES BIKES

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

Yuu Yi

He was just trying to help...

Solomon Garland

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

Daniel S

CLINTON NO!!!!

dragonkittyrawr

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

Jason Wotzko

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

Scott Gosnell

CLINTON NO

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

Just Jupiter (Chelsea)

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.

Aleks

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

Shawn K. Younkin

Aww yeah Clinton incel arc begins NAO.

xamaryllix

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

Brian

☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

Cal

CLINTON NO

Nicholas Lopez

And Clinton _continues_ to make an ass of himself.

awgiedawgie

Coming up next, six week of unrelated dog adventure.

Cley Faye

We have a new reining champion of self sabotage.

Maria E.

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

Tim Keating

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.

JD

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.

Michael Boettger

Wtf, Clinton?

Paul Higdon

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

Technoir

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

Matthew Van Gangelen

Oh Clinton so not what should have happened.

Tina Pegar

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.

Rat

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.

Andrew L Butula

?

JD

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

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

Katrina Urmson

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

Matthew Van Gangelen

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

Michael Boettger

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

Dylan T

*flips table over* FUUUUUUUUCK!

drone r0m-3

Wow wow wow, oh no.

lilibat

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

Absynthe

And Clinton is so proud of himself right now.

Populuxe

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.

Matt Grayson

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

Erin Moriarty

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

Mark Thomas

Aww, Clinton, honey, no. Poor Elliot.

Runhildr Zaetl

Claire might actually kill him.

schmod

WELP.

Samantha Yeaman

Clinton gods damn it.

R L

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

Spoogle McGee

:<

Alex Kosnett

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

Zeph

Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

RaptorShadow

Trying to remember if Martin was ever this bad right now

Alcaria Swain

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

Miyaa

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.

Celine Chamberlin

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 😖

ClinDUMB

William Hanna

I was a young stupid 20-something once. Now I'm an old 20-something and.... Fuck, Clinton. Why you gotta be so self-destructive?

Alcaria Swain

Well that was the fastest crash and burn I think I've seen in this comic. Good show.

Jon

YES CLINTON YES

Bacon Lord

i don't like this.

runrin

OH HECK OH NO

Kurt Lewis

Baby no, what is you doing

Alex

Oh no

Julian Leventhal Hicks

Hooboy, I can just feel the social blunder from here.

Terry Parry

Click, boom.

Max D S

...well shit.

Topher and Brooke

ABORT, CLINTON. ABORT.

Jackie Horn

DAMN IT CLINTON

Will Weaver

Danny’d that right up

Magic Chopstick Games

Clinton.

Jono Hayward

Tamara Macadam
