Is it cold in here?:
Ms. Reed has alluded to having memory problems about that time of her life. No good reason to think she was serious, though.
CrowFairy:
Is it just me, or does everyone's eyebrows in this strip seem... misplaced? Their expressions seem a bit off from what they're actually saying. Mostly, they look more angry than makes sense to me.

I think MartenMom does in fact mean Black Flag.

I'm across the pond, and quite a few people I know also use the up/down terminology. I've said on more than one occasion that I'm going "up to Florida," even though I live north of there. "Up" seems to be the term that I use for anywhere that isn't my hometown. I even say I'm going "back down to Tennessee" when I'm heading up from Florida. I'm a lot more conscious of this phrasing these days because I randomly realized one day that it sounded rather odd.

I think you kind of hit what bothered me about this one. Something about the MartenFolks' faces makes me feel like they look sort of bitter thinking about that day, but from the dialogue I feel like they're just reminiscing how silly that particular event was. But maybe I'm just fooling myself and they totally aren't too thrilled thinking about it.
And yeah, Marten just looks angry. I'm not sure I could drop that phrase around my parents, so that probably doesn't help me see it otherwise. :laugh:
I am excited to see Henry and Veronica interacting though! I really wanted a glimpse as to what sort of dynamic the two of them may have had when they were still together.
Bluesummers:
I sincerely hope that there won't be a Veronica/Maurice rift anytime soon...that would be UGGLY. (As ugly as Ugg boots).

Another fail of the Google god. Perhaps I need to upgrade my sacrifices.

IQC = isn't it obvious?
