Loaded the thread, took a shower, came back, read it, saw the post before this and typed "Yet." Hit "post" and this was already there. Well played, boss.
Throg:
If the overall arc isn't towards Claire getting or confessing a crush on Marten, and the ensuing complications, I'll eat my hat.
And no this doesn't count as shipping, I could care less. I'm basing this on that doodle Jeph did of Claire, months and months ago, when he was trying to figure out "who she was", and he put in this caption "I have PLAAAAANS for her" and she was looking up and saying "I don't like the sound of that."

He is gay, and thus inaccessible. Plus, Anderson Cooper hair.

Anderson Cooper hair. Can't tell you how many females I've met who think Anderson is like some greek god. Ridiculous.
And yea..Martendad does have insanely more confidence than his hapless son.
ZoeB:
Now she knows what Marten is going to look like when he's older... and approves... who knows?
Of course Marten, poor guy, gets a say in this.
I have to keep telling myself "it's only a comic strip!"

I'll certainly agree with the second part. But I think I might say the first too.
I can see Claire committing a few faux pas as well. You see, hormones, well, puberty comes a little late for us, and like 15 years olds, we may not be very adept at handling it and concealing initial reactions.
If you think that's funny in a gal in her early 20s, it can be even more so in a gal in her late 40s. Maybe not so much for others (who may not notice it), but certainly for her.
The day I found out I'd acquired a sexual orientation, my reaction to one of my students (a member of the Uni athletics team, freshly showered, in singlet and jeans) in with his project team for some after-hours tuition in front of a whiteboard was, well, yes, like Claire to Marten's dad. And even more inappropriate. I think I hid it better though. I hope I did!!!! Concentrating on the system model took supreme willpower, all I wanted to do was stare and repeat "OMG...OMG.." Seriously yummy... but I was 47, old enough to be his mother, and worse, he was a student. So I did my job, rather than appreciating the sight and smell of him.
I doubt he or the other members of his team noticed though - he must be used to gals reacting to him like that.
Anyway, I can totally believe Claire could be caught off balance by her hormones like that.

--- End quote ---
I was just thinking about that, actually, especially if Henry reserved the room for Marten.

Ready, and hoping for it.
Why, because it will end this week off nicely, and would make a nice birthday present.

What, Marten sleeping on the couch, the day his dad got married?
