Honestly speaking, it isn't so much that she is being a bitch. Marten's mom is no different then any other. He's single right now, and c'mon... Every parent gets grand baby urges... As a dominatrix, she's naturally inclined to be a bit more aggressive then other women, to boot.
Is it cold in here?:
She seems to have been a bit of a paradox as a mother. She was considerate and nurturing enough to invent and knit the Worry Hat, for example.
Redball:
As the child approaches adolescence, it's the parent's role to mortify the kid thoroughly and often. Years later, I offer my 40-year-old daughter raspberry mer-lot, just out of habit. I don't think she bothers to roll her eyes.
rmo:
I have nothing against Claire's whole 'special circumstances,' its interesting to see writers go to new locales and experiment with different types of characters. However I have 2 problems.
1. (personal) I disliked Claire's character from the start. She's really annoying and ditzy. So much so all comedic value is drained out of her. This is a personal beef, and it's jephs artistic judgement, but I have the feeling she's the karmic balance for the awesome that is tai.
2. Hannelore getting sick was weak. Hanners is a great character who keeps getting phased out, now that she's coming out of her shell I want to see the fun kept can have with her stumbling into normality.
I personally can see where Martin mom can be wierd and annoying at times, but I feel like Clair being in that comic is nowhere near as funny if it was Hanners. I'm still going to read this comic like its made of meth, but I think that Claire is a blunder.
Method of Madness:
Marten's mom has already met Hanners. Also, if anyone did that to Hanners, I don't think she'd handle it very well. Also, regarding the change...is Marten anywhere close to being ready to having kids (assuming he ever wants them)?
