--- Quote from: BenRG on 06 Nov 2014, 06:37 ---Wait a minute! If she's a Disney Princess, she needs a cute talking animal/magical creature comedy sidekick! Where's her comedy sidekick? ((Someone points at Emily)) Oh... yeah...

Um, I think maybe this instead.

Nah, Pintsize is Marten's comedy sidekick. Fortunately Tangled and Frozen establishes that a Disney male protagonist can also have a comedy sidekick or an animal straight-guy, so this need not raise issues about Marten's role in the strip.

There's that. Yeah, I guess Emily's the best choice.
Edited to add:
Looking at today's comic (again), I have to say I'm impressed with the subtlety in panel 4. Not only is she smiling (yeah, I was one of those who was waiting to see her smile again), but she's moved closer and her body language is more relaxed - she's sort of leaning into him. I use the word 'awesome' a lot - maybe too much - but that's an awesome panel.
BenRG:
Oh, and following up another point from a few threads back, I suggested that Claire is a bibliophile. It's only anecdotal but in this strip, Claire is wearing a shirt for something called "ReaderCon" back in 2009. This is a guess, but I suspect it was a convention for book lovers.
So, yeah, if Marten wants to show he's picked up on Claire's personal interests, a trip to a book store might work out at least once.

--- End quote ---
Hello? She's a _Disney_ princess. They're always singing.

Yeah, Jeph may not own up to it, but the truth is revealed in one of the guest strips.

Throwing swords is another first date no-no

But what about dwarf throwing?
--- End quote ---
Nobody tosses a dwarf

Not without the dwarf's active consent.

Well, can't argue with that...
Wait a minute! If she's a Disney Princess, she needs a cute talking animal/magical creature comedy sidekick! Where's her comedy sidekick? ((Someone points at Emily)) Oh... yeah...

If she is a Princess then I pick the Leia archetype but instead of a blaster pistol she is armed with Puns.
Leia had Chewie which was Solo's sidekick as well as R2D2 and that toddling **** C3PO, so Pintsize would fit the same role but with a whole new meaning to the epithet "shag rug".

ReaderCon is a real convention in Boston, which focuses on speculative fiction literature. The shirt actually indicates, not just that she's a bibliophile, but that she's a sci-fi/fantasy geek.
