Okay, y'all know the drill.

[Skewbrow]

Hmm. Wonder whether Hannelore could arrange that stealthcraft to give Marten a ride?

[Pilchard123]

Gordon?

[Bluesummers]

I think going with Tai will initially elicit some comments about him "finally having a nice, artsy girl"...heh.

Gordon?

He'd be shellshocked by the time they got there. Also, Spiders can't drive. They can't reach the pedals.

...Unless he was giving driving instructions to Marten, while riding atop his cranium. 

[Method of Madness]

Hmm. Wonder whether Hannelore could arrange that stealthcraft to give Marten a ride?

I was wondering that myself, actually. Hanners wasn't allowed to talk about it at the party, but she might convince her mom to allow Marten to use it.

[Loki]

Her mom? I thought it was one of her space-dads devices.

Anyway, I still think Marten is going to use the Rumba as a hoverboard.

Edit: Roomba.

[Sidhekin]

He's going to be the hoverboard.

[Loki]

In Marten's case, it would probably be a hover-doormat 

[Method of Madness]

Her mom? I thought it was one of her space-dads devices.

Nope.

[Pilchard123]

A group of us at college spent about six months discussing how to make a working hoverboard. Mind you, this is the same group of people that spent a day arguing about which building on the campus would be best to capture in a zombie apocalypse. We got it down to either languages/economics because it was tall and had balconies for watching from or the sciences/computing block because of the potential for improvised weaponry.

[pwhodges]

Her mom? I thought it was one of her space-dads devices.

Nope.

Good catch!  I'd missed that detail.

[Madmartigan]

Oh god, Emily at a same sex marriage ceremony would be righteous!

I can just imagine the pranks/weird shit she'd pull on Marten.  Oh man, she'd be a treat to take anywhere to introduce to people.  Would be like talking to a living breather alien.

Please let it be Emily!

(Wish Hanners had gone.  Can get enough of her and poor ole' Marty chillin).

[DSL]

Wishful prediction: Hannerdad has by now gotten the first working model of the Star Trek human fax machine matter transporter. Hanners will persuade him to use it to get Marten to the church on time and there will be a mishap of the type that split Capt. Horatio Horndog into his two aspects -- the wolf and the doormat.

Except in Marten's case, no one will notice anything different.

[Near Lurker]

Also, Marten drinks milk from a glass?  I thought that fad died out a decade ago... how the hell is he so skinny?

[Soulsynger]

Voted waffles. Those suckers are WAY more aerodynamic than any of the listed persons and also can be used as a floatation device.

[Method of Madness]

Drinking milk is a fad?

Milk is my favourite bourbon.

Waffles, because he could probably find truckers to hitch with from waffle house to waffle house all the way to Vermont

Do they have Waffle Houses in New England? I thought it was mostly a southern thing.

Teach me to make a waffle joke without checking first.

Looks like they go as far north as Pennsylvania.

[Method of Madness]

IHOP serves waffles.

[K1dmor]

 New Comic Strip! 

 And......guess who's gonna be his date?   

 Yay!
 

It is a good thing that I had this planned from the start because it was also the #1 most requested thing I got about this story!

 Marigold had a chance too, but i guess that's not how it's gonna be.

 And, since i couldn't see Claire in the clothes of "Awkward Zone", the fancy dress is something that i really want to see  .

[Near Lurker]

So, who didn't call this?

[ysth]

I was rooting for Hanners and Station still, but resigned to it.

I tripped the Flattr popup 3 times trying to click the forum link; is that intentional, you think?

[mustang6172]

Looks like somebody's getting shipped.

[Method of Madness]

Shipped as in delivered, yes.

[tdm88]

Claire is very cute in this. Sometimes you just want an excuse to buy a fancy dress 

[Oglokoog]

Yeah, pretty sure she's been looking for one for a while.

[ElvisRevenge]

Claire seems into it.

AND SO AM I RAISE THE ANCHOR LOWER THE SAILS SET A COURSE FOR LOOOOOOOVE

[MillionDollar Belt Sander]

Wait,  Jeph bowed to pressure from his fans?   

He's going to kill her off in some horrible way, isn't he?   


She gets run over by a bus on the way back from COD, and everyone is beside themselves with grief... except for Emily who is pissed because her banana-smoothy was destroyed by a careless EMT.

[Is it cold in here?]

There is a special kind of awkwardness that comes from being dressed up when everyone else is casual.

[foolsguinea]

Blah. I'm sick of Claire already. I wanted Marten to go with Hanners. (Or Dora, so we can throw in some ex-drama.)

[HiFranc]

I get the impression that Claire would get along with Dora.

[Carl-E]

Oh god yes, I can see it now, both of them jumping up and down, holding hands and squee-ing 'cause they're going to a wedding...

[pwhodges]

Wait,  Jeph bowed to pressure from his fans?   

Where did you get that from - the fact that he told us the opposite?

Nah. She's gonna meet someone at the wedding and run off with him. I'll miss her.

@Comic:
Wow... first time my expectations and the story matched. oO

Guys. Give it a rest. Some people just don't see the author comment between all the advertising.

In case that's levelled at pwhodges...
The opposite of "bowed to pressure from fans" would be "had it planned from the start"... So, none of the above.

Either way...
You're very quick to level nasty accusations...

Edited for clarity

[cesariojpn]

Pot calling the kettle black.

Perhaps I was being silly, yes?  I can read just fine. 

[Is it cold in here?]

I think we all know from experience how little weight Jeph gives to fan input when making creative decisions.

What better way to develop a character than to throw her into an unfamiliar situation?

[cesariojpn]

I think we all know from experience how little weight Jeph gives to fan input when making creative decisions.

A Fandom Nod is at best debatable.

[ZoeB]

He's going to kill her off in some horrible way, isn't he?   

Please no. Please. I've lost too many trans friends that way. Yes, it would be plausible, realistic even, but not really in QC's style - any more than Momo getting set on by Fanatics and put in a crusher, then melted to slag.

Man, I hope we're not steering for Cerebus syndrome.

[ZoeB]

Yeah, pretty sure she's been looking for one for a while.

She strikes me as the kind of gal who might like to wear a wedding dress one day too. Not everyone's like that, but in her heart of hearts, maybe.

In the meantime, yes, formal attending-wedding attire! She has the figure for it too. Probably wants a hairdo, maybe a makeover... you see she probably didn't get to attend a prom, or do any of the other teenage girl stuff. She's got some making-up to do.

Marigold probably didn't either, but she might not miss it. Not too much. Or wouldn't admit it to herself.

Bury Your Gays is probably more relevant, though substitute 'trans' for 'gays' of course.

[PixelMoose]

Am I the only one that wanted Padma to miraculously return and go as his date?

[Spriteling]

Aw man, I really wanted him to go with Hanners.

[pwhodges]

Y'know, this isn't really what I'd call a "date" - going to his father's wedding has a rather different focus.
