--- Quote from: Half Empty Coffee Cup on 25 Sep 2014, 18:45 ---By this point, they're a thing, right? Right? 'Cause Marten would have to be miiiiiighty drunk to do this and not see it as him pursuing (with much success so far) a relationship. Or we're still at the bar and the past few strips have all been taking place inside Claire's head after Faye's instigation. But that's a cheap trick, and I don't think that's going on.
--- End quote ---
Not so fast. There is plenty of room for complications.
* Drunk Marten is happy and relaxed, and is giving his friend Claire a head and back rub, without any sexual intentions.
* Sober Claire just loves to get a head and back rub. But her flushing indicates she might think of this as Marten seducing her.Afterwards, Marten will think nothing of it, and continue to treat Claire as before. Claire, however, will be deeply frustrated, particularly if Marten starts dating Emily. Catfights will happen at the library.

This comic and the previous one give me all kind of warmsies, but some comments here leave me perplexed and vaguely annoyed. This is just scratching and cuddling between friends, folks. Why assume it bears any flirtatious content?
Two months ago I was invited for a weekend-long party at a gîte to celebrate a couple of friends' five years of marriage. The first night, I spent over an hour massaging a woman. She was one of the few people I didn't know beforehand at that party. I massaged her feet, her ankles, her shanks, her knees, her thighs, her neck, her shoulders, her back. My hands were just itching for providing some comfort, and she was the first woman in years to let me. She thanked me several times over the weekend, saying she hadn't felt so relaxed in forever. But there was nothing flirtatious in that, now was there?
Method of Madness:
Maybe? Also...what are "shanks"?

Marten's last line to me really rules out it being a misunderstanding. If it's a fakeout it has to all be a dream.
