It isn't over-analysis, it's emotional investment, as I've already said. We're all so worried about whether Marten and Claire are going to work out that we're doing the forum post version of pacing restlessly whilst fiddling with worry beads!

Dunno why, though. They are so disgustingly cute together. Augh. There's no hope :( I really don't like Claire, but there's like NO way there's anything brewing at the horizon.
Back to dick jokes/AnthroPCs:
I'm with LackOfGrace here:

But is anyone else wondering what became of:

What's wrong with Claire?

This is actually relevant to a thought I've had about where this week's strips might now be going. It wouldn't surprise me if, instead of talking to Marten about professional boundaries and the like, Tai talks to Claire.
Think about it: Tai has known Marten for some time - a year or more, IIRC. He's shown himself to be mild-tempered, reliable and generally calm and reasonable. She can be reasonably sure that he'll conduct himself sensibly. On the other hand, Claire has had two meltdowns in the library due to someone hitting an unsuspected trigger of hers (one of them her brother, which says a lot about her inability to warn people of where her triggers might be). Add on top of that, Claire's misstep with Faye at CoD (which was at about the same time, IIRC). All this in the matter of a few months.
I'm not talking down Claire but, if we are sensible, we will acknowledge that she has emotional issues with which she struggles to an extent that in some ways is worse than Hannelore or Faye (although they do not manifest anywhere near as often). If there is one of this new pair that Tai may be reasonably concerned might need to be reminded that she needs to maintain professionalism at all times, it's Claire.
That will probably upset Claire but she does need to be told. Also, I think she might benefit from realising that, desire to work in a library or not, there is a reason why Marten has lasted long enough to get his moderate measure of seniority.
[edit]
In many ways this is why Marten is so perfect for Claire (and why he's such an excellent friend to Hannelore and Faye). He is gentle, patient and is willing to stick with people through their rough spots. This is the sort of guy Claire really needs to help her confront her issues in a constructive way.
