I haven't been following this forum much lately, and only jumped on because of the last week's shenanigans, so forgive me if I'm bringing up a topic that's already been discussed...but has anyone brought up what Clinton's reaction would be if Marten and Claire became a thing??? It just hit me that Mr. Overprotective Big Brother would likely have some strong feelings on the matter, one way or the other.
I think Clinton overreacting is a given but before Marten could act on it, Claire would have already put Clinton in his place.
I've been wondering about that too, and anticipating some kind of caustic reaction. And of course, that would be understandable, because it does come down to Clinton being a great brother who cares about his sister and doesn't want to see her get hurt.
Of course, Clinton also seems to be a poor judge of character, what with his
initial reaction to Claire telling Marten about herself and remark about Marten "not (being) such a bad guy after all". I can't see how someone would get that vibe from Marten, but I suppose that goes back to his concerns for his sister.
Still, I remember reading that strip and thinking...really, dude? You were incredibly creepy when we first met you, going way over the line more than once, and you've got it in your head that Marten's a bad guy? Again, I guess it's just the protectiveness kicking in, but man...glass houses, Clinton.
