As Clevin gets softer and rounder, Patrick gets harder and sharper. Soon they will reveal their true forms - Patrick is actually Cleaver, Clevin is actually the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

Calling it now, Patrick will say that Alison and him bang or something stupid. Clevin will brush his cheek making him turn into Clevin and then he will cry, and go make pasta. Alison will come back and asking where patrick is, and clevin will say he left.

Depending on how milquetoast this may go, I might check out after a few more updates.

it was amusing to catch the ride of the comic going downhill fast and Goons slowly realizing it, but the clown show's gotta tell a few jokes to keep the thing rolling

So I guess on this page Alison explained to Clevin what happened while he was gone? That was...not conveyed well at all. All they had to do was have Clevin ask "What's going on?" when he comes back. Then we would naturally assume that Alison answered him in the cut away panel.

At least it's confirmed that Clevin is a soft boy parody and not meant to be taken seriously, because what the gently caress is he doing patting a complete stranger on the hand like a child.

Panel 5, Menace's hair. Or rather, the flood fill in the back that didn't get erased in favor of the lazy gradient background. :allears:

Remember how I said the last page had acceptable and human dialogue? Panel 4 kills that streak. Who opens up with the usual "I don't know what you're going thru" line with comforting hand pats to another guy? Who pats a complete strangers hand to console them after finding them passed out in their girlfriends apartment not moments after you left? Am I to believe that Clevin is so understanding and non confrontational and supportive that he'll just try and console some strange disheveled homeless looking guy who is lying on his girlfriend's bed.

Yes, his first instinct when he saw a passed out stranger in his girlfriend's bed was to get a pack of ice and tend to him. Clevin is life.

Clevin will cure patricks brain bad poo poo and resolve all conflict. Then he will make tea and pasta and feral will eat with them.

The word balloon placement is real bad in panel 2 intersecting with Clevin's white shirt.

Also Patrick in this scene just seems like an entirely different character than in any scene beforehand.

Some times the best way to save a web comic is to take it out back and shoot it. Or spend several years making a bad sprite comic instead.

Clevins origin story is having the biodynamic power of being extremely impressionable. When he was young someone unwittingly gave him the honest advice that you should always be mindful of other peoples feelings and experiences, not knowing what kind of monster this well-meaning act would end up unleashing....Cut to twenty years later, and here's Clevin who now begins a request to pass the salt at the dinner table with a four minute speech on how he acknowledges the passers right to self determination and that they totally have no obligation to perform the labor of handing him the salt shaker, it's just that if they do feel ready to give it to him he would appreciate and enjoy but really, it's no big deal, no pressure, it's all good either way.

It would still be controversial, but coming from someone capable of drawing distinctive and memorable characters, it would have been at least somewhat understandable.
