204 – Looks
Poor Clementine. You didn’t think it would be that easy, did you?
I feel like I’m probably gonna say that a lot this chapter.
So it seems like contacts do exist in the Frivoverse after all… Did anybody figure out this would be Clementine’s secret weapon?

Oh. Clemmy. Keep trying.
That is weird, the lack of glasses on Clem is the very first thing I noticed.
That’s because we READ the comic. The people who live it aren’t as observant.
Change blindness strikes again.
I’m not even reading EGS and it still strikes.
That’s because there is a good deal of truth behind the concept of change blindness.
It’s not like Dan invented the term.
Daniel here. Noticed the pose in the 2nd panel, worked out it was different cause it was a confident pose, then the confidence in the 1st & 3rd panels too, THEN the lack of glasses…
Screwball just noticed the pose in the 2nd panel…
I’m figuring wearing contacts in the Frivoverse is kind of like wearing a really bad toupee. Everyone noticed, but they’re being too polite to mention it.
The fact Clem’s eyes resemble Little Orphan Annie’s in the last panel doesn’t help.

Oh gosh everyone’s expressions in that last panel are absolutely precious
In so many different little ways
Panel 2’s 3/4 perspective makes Clem’s torso look bizarrely blocky though
The thick waist?
I fixed it…
I only notices that she wears chokers but not with the contacts :(
She wore one before, you know!
Contacts… Booooooo!!!
What I notice is a Borderlands shirt.
Noooo Clem where’s your glasses!? She’s so much cuter with glasses.
Contacts boring, glasses good!
Amen.
Ha! I guess it’s because I wear glasses.
The first thing I noticed was the short sleeves.
The second was the confidence.
But the missing glasses, well, okay.
Dez – Earlier you said that you’d like to try something more risqué…
How about as a vote incentive?
It wouldn’t affect the comic storyline.
Only your real fans would see it.
It would drive your vote totals up.
Waaaay up…
Poor Clem, what will you do? Are you desperate enough to take off your headphones? I think that will get you Marie’s attention. For about 30 seconds.
Also, I just noticed this chapter is titled “Vision”. Looks like we’re gonna get a whole lot more changes.
OMG, Clem without glasses kinda feels weird. Like…. I was not expecting this. She is still adorable though!
It’s like she’s a bit indecent, like she’s not dressed properly…
She’s so unsettling that way.
I like it for a change of pace.
I hadn’t expected this would be her secret weapon. But it’s clearly not as effective as she’d hoped. Nor as effective at getting her noticed as Plasma Mongoose’s suggestion would have been.
To paraphrase Ryoko Asakura, “Who are you? And where is Clementine?”
Wait. She’s wearing contacts?
What has the world come to?
A girl without glasses in the Frivoverse? What madness is this? Gaia?
I know, right?
What are you talkin’ about? Nothing changed at all.
I’m onto you, Clemuminati.
I can only think of one appropriate response to this strip….AWWWWWWW.
It’s always funny to see you comment since you ended up with my girlfriend’s face as your avatar…
No kidding? Huh, that’s cool.
I’m pretty sure it’s not related, but Clem’s shirt sorta reminds me of Overwatch.
Looks more like Borderlands’ vault symbol. And by that I mean it looks exactly like the vault symbol.
Oh yeah, THAT’S where I remember it, now. It’s been ages since I’ve played a Borderlands game (2013, to be exact, according to Steam).
It “sorta” reminds you of the wrong game. XD
That’s, indeed, the Borderlands logo.
Wait a minute… Clem, why the heck are you STILL keeping yourself apart from them? Do you physically not fit on that couch? Because that’s the only excuse you’ve got.
That’s the Clem way.
Come to think of it… I do that too when I’m really scared of people suddenly not liking me. (Which is often…)
Some folks out there are extremely uncomfortable when in physical contact with other people. It’s not a germophobe thing or physical discomfort, it’s a simple psychological unease with being touched or even in close proximity. Takes a lot of trust to overcome. I don’t know if Clem deals with this one, but she’s showing most of the signs. We’ll see what Dez says.
Wait, her secret plan to get senpai to notice her involves NOT wearing glasses? Hodgecockle!
Well, it does set her apart from all but one of the women in the Frivoverse.
Borderlands shirt. Win!
