Nah, it'll be four panels of Yelling Bird stuffing Crunchos into his cloaica.

NOOOOOO *deep breath* OOOOOOO!

Oh crap, you're right! :psyduck:

Which almost certainly means nothing's going to happen in the car, because there's not a good position for a cliffhanger - especially because it's coming off of the wedding arc, which means Jeph's almost certainly going to focus on other characters/arcs.

There's about three variations of one way that I could see him doing the return trip.

All three ways involve him focusing on another storyline for a couple days - Monday and Tuesday, Monday and Wednesday, and Tuesday and Wednesday, most likely, are the three ways. Then, the first of the remaining three days is a conversation in the car, the second is Marten and Claire talking about their past love lives (but mostly just Claire's side being shown, because we've already seen Marten's side - this could serve as massive character development for Claire, too), and Friday would be Marten deciding to become assertive, in a reversal of 564, as the cliffhanger.

If that doesn't happen, I think the return trip won't even be shown - not even showing awkward silence - and other story lines will be shown. And, I don't think that will happen, for the record. #1, Marten hasn't been shown as particularly romantically interested in Claire at all, #2, I don't think Jeph's taking the story in that direction, and #3, Marten's already said in-comic that he considers it unethical to date one of the interns (meaning that it'd have to be Claire making the advance in Friday's comic, and given that #564 already DID that...)

That's what I'm almost certain will happen.

I can't help but think of the Faye-Angus alley conversation strip.

She can be Jimbo's muse

I picture that going about this well.
