Claire's Crush: Beginnings
Nepiophage:
I date it from http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2370 -- second panel -- she thinks Dora is lucky to have had Marten, no? My first ever post said as much:

Though I predicted Marten would not reciprocate. I'm glad I was wrong about that.
ReindeerFlotilla:
I think that is after the start. But I happen to agree with the assessment that she is saying Dora was lucky. I think 2380 bears this out. Henry Reed is generally viewed as a preview of what Marten is going to age into. Comments before and after 2380 refer to how much they look alike.

That strip(And this one) made me think Claire might be a little bi, even if leaning one way more than the other, but whether that's the case or she was just being objective I think the emphasis was on Dora there. I don't think DORA would be all caps otherwise.
Now getting mad at Tai for breaking Marten's heart, that might be because of a crush(Partially, obviously as she has a reason to dislike people having affairs in general).
ReindeerFlotilla:
I dunno. I'm not bi, but I know and attractive man when I see one.
But from that context I would think of either Dora or Marten as Luckyyyy. They are both attractive people. (For a while, everything with double X chromosomes was attracted to Marten. Including Yelling Bird.) It wouldn't seem unusual or remarkable that they dated. I could only think one of them was Luckyyyy if I were attracted, strongly, to the other.
I could imagine Claire thinking of Dora in all caps if her background process was "Was he into DORA? Does that mean he like fair skinned girls or is he into tall and dark, because I'm fair but I'm neither of the others?"
Also, Hanners is pretty. Sven's blurt about her being his type wasn't a come on, and he regretted in that, "Oh god, let this subject go away" way. But I think that plays to the fact that he overcompensated with honesty, and he's not used to that. Hanners is a tall, willowy, green eyed blonde. That's kinda hot. Beyond that, pretty much everyone in the strip has been referred to as cute by someone else.
Edit: I immediately thought "Except Dale" but Marigold thinks he's pretty.

Actually, birds use ZW as their sex chromosomes. Males are ZZ, and females are ZW.
