Thanks for clearing that up. When you said "Ms. Augustus," I was thinking of Clairemom for a minute... hence wondering where in the heck the pun was.

Ah. Sorry. I think of her as "Claire's mom" since we really don't know her name.

I've usually alternated between "Clairemom," "Claire's mom," and "Ms. Augustus." IOW, I probably have nobody but myself to blame for my confusion.
Skewbrow:
Dora and muffins give better advice than bourbon. We'll see.
Meanwhile at the library. Marten is floating in the air, but did he not notice that may be Claire did not want to tell their coworkers? We never saw her go through those mighty library doors. I'm mildly worried about her sitting their alone waiting for the Ativan to kick in.

Until Jeph shows otherwise, I'm going to assume this is something that Claire and Marten agreed had to be done. While Tai said Marten was in charge of inter wrangling, this comic makes it unambiguous that Marten is Claire's direct reporting superior. Which means he really did have to come clean to his boss about it, so they could decide how to manage it. Since the both used "we work together" as an excuse right up until they were (literally) face to face with their attraction, it's sensible to assume they talked about it.
With Jeph leaving more small beats out in pursuit of fewer words, I'm guessing that's they case.

Despite my feelings about Monday's strip, I don't think her response is quite that serious. Annoyed and a bit flustered, sure, but borderline-anxiety attack? Seems unlikely. Plus, I'm sure she would agree with Marten that Tai, at least, should know about the relationship, precisely for the reasons he voiced on Tuesday--which is why I'm a tiny bit bothered that they didn't broach the subject to her together (and making Tai go doubly-catatonic). But I've probably fired my headcannon on these forums enough this week.

Ditto.
