Clinton and Claire are not twins.
Claire is 24 and Clinton is 21.
Is it cold in here?:

I'm going to scrutinize your body and point out all the imperfections I didn't even notice before!" Which is not to say I don't think there's value in going back through the comic, but I think Claire's words more than her appearance are better foreshadowing.
I loved this comic. Panel 5, in particular. So much said without dialogue! I may have squeed.

Well said!
BobTheApple, welcome.
EDIT: Yes about over-analysis. New people, please know that we always think too hard about things and look too hard for details.
Also, we're used to discovering foreshadowing when we look back after something interesting happens. The Talk had several hints leading up to it, ditto the Faye/Sven affair.

None taken. Forums have horrible failure modes and are hard to get right.
Thank you for respectfully explaining things (yes, including the lack of obligation to explain things!).
Welcome to you and the other two new people!
Fluke:
Just popping in to add that Jeph just said Claire was MtF on his stream for those who have been theorizing :)
The lip theory is a neat one.
Near Lurker:
Why is it in general that men aren't drawn with lips, anyway? Sometimes it's that lips are only drawn when someone's wearing lipstick, but often women are drawn with faint lips even when they aren't supposed to be wearing lipstick, whereas men have none except on the rare occasions they do. Lips can be pretty obvious; I remember being struck by how much mine stood out when I took off my moustache.
But seriously, I kind of hope Jeph didn't intend that. All this looking for tells is awful.
