Who's "We"?
Character development is a strength of QC. And since Jeph is the one doing the strip, maybe let him decide how to develop a character and show how that development happens? For the effort some forumoids put into telling how they want the strip to go forward, they might as well script their own strip. No shortage of illustrators out there who wouldn't mind having someone else call the shots.

'cause you're old enough to have it embedded in your brain, like me? :-D

I have to disagree there. I think that we've learned all we can about Claire's character in a 'first date' scenario. We'll learn more when she's more comfortable around Marten and less afraid of ruining things by 'saying the wrong thing'. There is a limit to what we can learn from Claire constantly walking on eggshells and Marten having to reassure her.

There is, however, ample room for humor.

Humor, d'awww, and squee.
I agree that a time-skip may be in order at some point (as April's timeline reminds us, it's been summer FOREVER), but I think another week or two need to pass in-comic before that happens. I still want to see all the adorable and awkward moments from the early stages of Claire and Marten's relationship, but I also want to see what Angus is up to, whether or not he and Faye try to see each other before he leaves. Then Faye needs to face being single again, there's still potential fallout from the Svenectomy, Veronica needs an opportunity or two to embarrass her son, etc. Once those things have wrapped up a bit, we close on Sleeping Montage #3, several months go by, and Jeph opens on...Veronica and Jim's wedding?!
Nah, that would be too weird.

Things that I'd love to see:
* Sam in a bridesmaid's costume;
* Marten giving away the bride;
* Henry bawling like a sentimental grandmother.
