Akima:
There is nothing wrong with a tight pair of Budgie Smugglers! It's unAustralian for a guy to wear baggy trunks, unless he's surfing.
AngryCallCenterAgent:
Jeph? Methinks you forgot to color Clinton's cyborg hand. And I suppose it's only me because I just realized (I'm slow) that Claire and Clinton must be suffering from a very mild case of that anti-aging disorder (not sure what it's named at the moment, again I'm slow).

It's mostly obscured but still there - you can see his right wrist, sort of gray-white with a seam separating it from the rest of his body, tucked under his left arm.
...and I'm imagining Dan Aykroyd pointing this out on a zoomed image on a paranormal mysteries TV show. My brain's pretty weird this early in the morning. Weirder.

Quite; brief-style swimming trunks have always been the norm in my mind, with baggy shorts being more of a style item. I have been bemused by the occasional disparaging remarks in the comic and this forum (and PJ) about wearing "Speedos". Speedo is just a brand, of course, and I wouldn't use the word to indicate the style of trunks (though I guess it's no different from my use of Hoover for vacuum cleaner), nor would I think it odd for Marten (or Clinton) to have a pair.

It's a bit older than that, I think: the conflict between arranged marriages and romance (with the latter presented in a positive light against the former) has been a key plot point in many European plays as far back as the 17th century.
Anyway, about today's comic, there's something that puzzles me: Who the hell brought Clinton?
Only Claire makes sense as an answer, but given what we've seen of their relationship, it doesn't make much sense. Unless their relationship is much more complex than we've been shown yet?
