Adam: I've never wanted a tattoo, Clayton. There's nothing I'd want on my body for the rest of my life.
Clayton: I just thought you could get a coffee cup with swirling steam and the words "Fully leaded" or something.
Adam: Go on.
Semantically speaking, shouldn’t that read “Go on…”, or maybe even “Go on?” giving the impression that Adam is interested in the topic and wants Clayton to continue. By using a period at the end of the sentence, Adam could just as well be telling Clayton to leave the room as in “Go on, get out of here you wacky kid”.
It’s official, I have way too much time on my hands.
In the original 2014 Copyright issue of this strip, someone noted in the comments that Clayton’s tattoo suggestion resembles – remarkably (double entendre intended) – the Java logo.

“Go on” doesn’t always guarantee a “yes”.
