I refer you to real life, where there are no guarantees, and to the archives of this and other fine webcomics.
I would like some happies for these characters, but my wishes are no guarantee there will be a happy ending.
iandanger:
Right, but this isn't real life, it's a quaint alternate reality with talking robots. I stand by my SQUEE

In fairness, we have no idea what Jeph's long-term plan may be. For all we know, Marten and Claire may choose to remain friends, Dora and Tai may have a bad break-up, leading Dora to go back to Marten; Claire may then resume her underground guerilla war to persuade Hannelore to overcome her fears and date her brother!
Crazy? I'm just pointing out that we have no idea whatsoever where any of this is ultimately going!
FWIW, I have spent a little time puzzling over the sketch of Jeph's poster on his Tumblr account. Basically, it looks like Claire and Marten are standing far too close to be just friends and, no matter how closely I squint, I can't tell if Martin is gesturing or if Claire has hooked her arm through the crook of his elbow. This leads me to conclude that, at least in the medium-term, Marten and Claire are going to be a thing. The fact that Hannelore is apart from the rest of the cast and talking to them indicates to me that she will have a role too, possibly as their crazy neighbour, shades of Phoebe in Friends.
We really need a Questionable Content Kremlinology thread as a home for minute close analysis of art as well as Jeph's Tumblr and Twitter posts for clues as to the future direction of the strip!
MooskiNet:
On one hand, the analytical side of me recognizes the silliness of trying to extrapolate how the story is going to go based on nuances as small as whether Marten looks particularly relaxed in Claire's presence today.
On the other hand, I'm looking at my wall, where a print of the 2014 cast hangs (you can buy that here, btw; it's awesome), and there are only two pairs of people that are standing in each other's 'personal space:' Tai and Dora, and Marten and Claire. Also (and this is REALLY GOING INTO BLOODY TINFOIL HAT TERRITORY), when I look at that print, I find myself wondering what Claire's other arm is up to.
More than anything else, that print is what makes me think this will (eventually) go well for Marten and Claire. Mind you, I know how silly that is, but it gets me through to the next strip. :claireface:
MooskiNet:
Holy shit dude. Jinx.
