Also, one bad sign for the long-term future of the ship, even if it makes it out of port...
Claire's still living at home. Odds are, she's never lived on her own before, and never quite had the responsibility that comes with that.
That mismatch in life experience can cause serious issues down the road.

They can now talk about what happened last night with each other in a more sober light. Without a lot of waffling back and forth on what they think, or getting ham-handed advice from friends.

Pancaking, not waffling. Spathe Ham optional. No syrup - May had an accident with it.

Plausible, but doesn't quite fit Marten's explanation: "Your mom invited me over".
Claire's mother obviously knows about Marten - Claire couldn't possibly have stayed away for a night at Marten's dad's wedding without her knowing about it, and very likely met Marten before or after that trip. I guess she knew who Claire was with the previous night too.

That makes sense. Knowing Jeph, it might be the only sensible explanation we get, so I'll buy it!

--- Quote from: CompSarge on 01 Oct 2014, 17:39 ---Part of me wonders if a small part of Marten's needing to process the events of the night have to do with a certain sentiment he expressed in the past. I know Jeph's matured as both a writer and a person since all that time ago, but Marten's had considerably less in-comic time to reach the same level of maturity.

Gods, I forgot how long winded this comic used to be. I was honestly getting tired reading all that, lol

JJ said this afternoon tonights strip was a narrative stretch, but liked it too much not to do it. Worried me a bit, and it certainly IS a stretch. But it had good shock value and we just skipped a week of Marten contemplating things.
The ship train moves forward! Choo choo!
