Is it cold in here?:
Welcome, latest new people!
Some things you should know in advance: first, QC is a comic about people doing stupid things. Claire is smarter than the average character but remember that if she does something stupid it won't be an attack on trans people in general.
The other thing, closely related, is that Jeph has done a widely praised good job at making Claire an individual, and not The Trans Character. Anything she says or does is just her and not a Message.
Hybris:
I guess I don't see the how the whole Clare\Marten is such a popular idea, though that might be because I see Clare as a poorly built character more for Sesame Street shock value with her being trans (Yes I am aware of the admins post about this but this is still my opinion on the character) then as a serious long time 2 second line character like Raven or PenPen. Now is she as bad in all respects as Emily is? No not close.
I'm putting money on this being a dream and Clare waking up nuzzling Pintsize who out of habit is being half way decent for reasons unknown.
davedig:
First time posting as well, well, second, and yeah yesterday's comic and today's made me super happy. I think I started reading a good while ago, back when Marigold kissed Angus and started lurking around here when Claire opened up to Marin. I sent Jeff a good email of support for that for making her a character first before revealing that part of her backstory.
Very much hoping this isn't a dream, I mean whatever happens happens as long as tese two comics are real.
FunkyTuba:
Hybris, you registered a _long_ time ago... way before me... which makes me dis-inclined to blow you off the way I usually would blow off someone who says "well that's just my opinion" and doesn't back it up.
If you've been reading this comic since you registered in 2005, you have seen lots and lots of characters built and rolled out over the years.
I'm curious what is it about this character that you consider "poorly-built" as contrasted to another character that has received similar amounts of screen time that you consider "well-built".

I'm guessing you are referring to the character called Marten in a comic drawn by someone called Jeph.
Since you must have read the correct forms to know the names, it shouldn't be hard to reproduce them correctly. Yes, we care about spelling people's names right here, as a matter of politeness and respect.
