Well, we don't know of any other jobs that Claire does outside of interning in the library (which may even be unpaid, because unpaid internships are a thing in the US) and grad student-related duties. Basically, I don't think she has the income sources to pay for herself.

(I also suspect that everything's being paid for by her father, but that they're otherwise estranged. Claire is literally violently opposed to anything like what he did.)

But, yes, I don't seriously believe what I've postulated in my previous post.

hedgie:
She could easily have a fellowship, or various other forms of professional student income.  But if she gets along with her mum, and it saves money, why the hell not?  (totally OT).  I once knew a professor who originally came from Mexico.  He was actually heartbroken when his son moved out at 18, since he figured that the kid would stay until he was 25 or so.  But since his son came up in American culture, he followed the US cultural "norm" of leaving around the age of majority.

Barmymoo:
I wish I got on well enough with my parents to live with them still; I frequently desperately miss my mum and I think I'd benefit from having them around more, especially when like today I'm not feeling well. Unfortunately this is outweighed by how much I need to live alone - not just away from my family but away from anyone. I haven't tried living with them since I started on my sanity pills; it might make a difference but at this point I can't see myself moving back in. That doesn't mean that I'm any more ready for a serious relationship than I would be if I were at home, though! Basically I don't think the two are necessarily linked.

Mr. Doctor:
I dont get why some are talking about logic and how they ended up there. Hmmm... I think someone already commented the theory that he simply made a call and got her mom instead and he's there eating the pancakes.

In any case, I'm very curious to how things turn out. I'm actually indifferent if some romance happens or not. Neither scenario makes me giggle or be sad or anything... It's the road that seems cool and interesting!  :-P

marbledmurrelet:
I imagined a scenario like Clairemom walking past the diner and seeing Marten through the window, thinking "Hey, looks like that Marten kid that Claire is so fond of and showed me pictures of - this is my chance!"

To me, Marten's look is even warmer than during the drunk hair/cuddle incident, plus a little shy and insecure. I hope Claire won't freak out as much as she seems about to in panel 4. Not really nice to put her into this situation, but quite a Mom thing to do...

EDIT: Disclaimer: I have trouble interpreting facial expressions IRL, so don't listen to me.
