Now, be fair – while these things "aren't there" in the comic, they've certainly "been here" in the forum.

I don't blame anyone who reads the forum for holding the idea that we're getting "let's explore gender issues" with Claire.

(The comic has handled it in a nice, calm way, rather low tone perhaps.  The forum was, for a while, a train crash, and could easily revert to that form.)

It was very busy, but remarkably far from a train crash, I'd say.

jwhouk:
I did actually have a slight fear of what would happen if Marten did ask Claire to join him at his dad's wedding.

ZoeB:
If this was real-life rather than QC.... Claire goes with Marten, recognises Maurice as her father* (who she rather despises). He doesn't recognise her though, as he's unaware of her transition.

But such improbabilities only happen in reality, they're far too implausible to use in a comic strip.

So I'm going for.... Sven. Outside chance, Marigold.

* - or father's ex-boyfriend...

I've just seen her be the same snarky, tightly-wound character she was when she was introduced with no new plot interest in her gender identity.

I was going to say almost exactly this - yes, the forum did see a lot of discussion on the subject and in fact it's ongoing in the DISCUSS section, but Jeph can't really be held accountable for how much we talk about certain topics.

That said, I'd like to see Momo going with Marten. I think it'd be an interesting window into the way QC world handles anthroPCs - for example, I wonder how airport security screening works when you are full of the things that the scans find suspicious?
