| Over the years, Clint has tried to be involved in Josh's life to some degree, but this is usually in vain. He has attempted to bond with him over shared interests such as [[objects:The Lathe|woodworking]], but Josh is unappreciative and uninterested in these attempts. | Over the years, Clint has tried to be involved in Josh's life to some degree, but this is usually in vain.

| | One of the more famed and often discussed activities is **Clintervention**, which, as the name implies, consists of Clint intervening, often either saving Josh from trouble, or preventing him from getting into more trouble. As it mostly happens behind the scenes, the actual confirmed clinterventions aren't that common, but anything that seems out of ordinary, when the boy begins to act strange, is often credited to Clint intervening. How tight is the leash around Josh's dog collar is a subject of endless debates, just like how good of a father Clint really has been over the years. |

| | Clint does photo montage art, which he posts on his website, [[http://www.clintsaunders.com/|clintsaunders.com]]. While his art can be viewed as somewhat well-executed in terms of the application of the tools he uses, conceptually his art is extremely on the nose with its messaging, significantly taking away from the quality of his work as a whole. This directness often lacks the subtlety that separates profound commentary from heavy-handed preaching, leaving the audience little room for personal interpretation or engagement. |

| | Thematically, his art primarily displays his inner turmoil, isolation, and feelings of being trapped. These themes are consistently made unequivocally clear across the majority of his work. He uses physical constraint and mildly torturous poses as a crude metaphor for these feelings. While the source of these feelings can't be perfectly ascertained, as not much of Clint's personal life is known outside of his involvement in the Cobraverse, it seems fairly likely that a lot of these feelings relate to his strained relationship with Josh. |
| | |
| | Much of Clint's work also displays his pride in his own body. Clint is in good shape and apparently quite proud of that fact, and while that isn't exactly negative in its own right, when combined with his on the nose messaging, it comes across as self-absorbed and a little uncanny. The frequent inclusion of his physique can distract from the intended themes, making it seem more self-congratulatory than an artistic choice that serves the narrative or conceptual depth of his works. |

| | Clint's work has a generally repetitive nature. Many of his compositions revolve around similar motifs and iconography, such as masks, ladders, simple otherworldly creatures, and surreal landscapes. While these elements might have been powerful in isolation, their overuse renders them predictable and diminishes their impact. His work is generally considered pretty amusing by fans of the Cobraverse, but its novelty wears thin quickly. |
