Not to worry. I actually laughed when I read this. Then again at Akima's elegantly understated comment.
Fortunately, we're all friends here, so no more than mildly chucklesome rather than hurtful.
Now in the UK it would be "dropping a brick", but the US meaning of the phrase is quite different.
OK nuff said, don't want to cause embarrassment.
BenRG:
Actually, Zoe, I do see Snubnose's point. I wonder if Jeph is going to hammer home just how conventional, normal, boring and utterly average Marten and Claire actually are. The point would be that Claire's gender identity doesn't matter because the two of them are just a couple testing out whether they can make a relationship work like millions of others around the world.

How about 'butts?'
BenRG:
So, onto the timeline information (for April's benefit). Based on clothing, this is definitely the same day (probably Monday) that Marten officially informed Tai that he and Claire are a couple and that he is willing to co-operate with any changes to his assignment that management impose as a result.
So, this means that we have events probably something like this through the day:
* Marten and Claire arrive for work (probably around 7-8am);
* Dora tells Faye she's got to decide what to do next with Angus;
* Marten tells Tai and Tai spams her Friends list the good news;
* Marten goes to CoD to tell Faye (around lunchtime);
* Hannelore and Marigold discuss replacement room-mates for the latter;
* Marten proposes a sort-of-date during the afternoon shift.Goodness! I've just realised what a geek I am!
Obligatory self-mockery aside, it occurs to me that it has taken something like 40-50 strips to take us from the trip to the bar on Saturday night to the latter part of Monday! That's actually a very dense bit of story-telling. I'm wondering if, after the Angus situation is resolved (possibly around Thanksgiving) we might have a big time skip.
osaka:
It makes sense that it's a dense bit of story telling, there are at the very least 3 storylines going at the same time right now (QCSS Clarten setting sail to the horizon, Steam Paddler FAngus crashing down Niagara falls, Angus moving to NY and having Marigold looking for roomie). Granted that Marigold's "struggles" are more of a background thing that has just been noted, but this is still a webcomic loosely based on strips and that limits the possible Progress per Unit of Comic (tm)
