WCDT: 2801-2805 (29th September - 3rd October) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
Aimless:
The lip thing woulda been cool but seeing as how Hanners & Marigold often don't have lips either I think it might be more a face/style thing rather than foreshadowing.
Also :D :D :D kiss damn you! The tension is unbearable!

I can't recall the exact comic.

You mean this hairdresser?
Looks different, but that's who I immediately thought she was, too :psyduck:
(Either that or she's actually Ms Frizzle)

Regarding the whole intern thing - I think it could be possible that Marten had subconcious feelings for Claire before and he rationalized him not wanting to start anything with Emily by the intern thing.
At least that's what my subconcious would most likely do...
Also - lurker no more.
Yay!

That mismatch in life experience can cause serious issues down the road.

While one can't automatically assume that what's true in this universe is true in the QC one... do you realise how outrageously rare having supportive parents is for girls like her? (Hint : average age of homeless trans children is 12 1/2, many, many get kicked out)
That she has family support (parents, brother ) possibly accounts for her relatively good mental health. Though I see an anxiety attack looming... if one doesn't happen now, I'd say they're gone.
If I was that age, woke up without having a chance to clean up, came downstairs to see Mum and prospective first boyfriend ever chatting it up after a night when I ended up in his arms.... anxious doesn't even begin to describe it. We're talking fullblown PANIC here.
I didn't see this coming. Jeph, you magnificent bastard.

The life experience ... that comes with overcoming challenges, adapting to changing circumstances, and changing and growing in the process ?
The life experience that a young transitioning graduate student is not supposed to have?
Nope, can't really see that one being much of a problem ...
(Having been both a grad student and late bird out of the nest myself - I don't think either compares to transitioning)
bhtooefr:
I should also clarify (:claireface: ify? I'm sorry...) that I'm not saying that Claire has less life experience, but rather that hers is different. However, in the independent living sense, she does have less experience than Marten, and that could cause issues. She and Marten may well be able to work through them just fine (and she'll have quite a lot of experience coping with other major changes, as you pointed out), but there could be some conflict set up by that.
That's all I was saying.
