Shogouki:
Sorry I didn't mean to derail the thread... :oops:
WAYF:
Uh, as far as I can tell, he changed the punchline because he felt that Claire being trans* could be interpreted as being the joke. Which was not his intention, but there you go.
Also, for what it's worth, Mrs. Reed was really kinda depressed in the original, which did NOT match up well with her facial expression (which remains unchanged).
I kinda like this version better anyway.
K1dmor:
Claire looks so cute in this strip (and like a defenseless puppy in the first panel).
Also...

I agree, but I'm still glad I read the original version as well. Even if it's no longer "canon", it says quite a bit about Marten's mother.
One thing that got to me today was that Marten always seems unprepared for his mother's explosive ways of embarassing him. Does that mean it is a fairly recent thing? As in, before the timeline of the comic, I mean.
