*sings*
Puns ride high in the forum tonight,
Not a good joke to be seen.
Called Zoe a dominatrix,
And you've made me your new queen.
The jokes are flying sweeping real comments aside,
And I went with it 'cus I have no pride.
So now you sit and laugh with glee
As Zoe spit-takes because of me.
Conceal Your squeel 'cause now we know,
You like humor low!
Let them flow, let them flow
May the puns come ever more,
Let them flow, let them flow
Post another three or four.
So beware,
'cus they're going to stay.
Now the good jokes end,
Bad puns never bothered me anyway!

Do we have some kind of trophy for best post ever? Cuz this one deserves it.
MooskiNet:
As much as I like the idea of Clinton pulling a stone face when Claire tells him, I'm more in favor of seeing Claire step into the driver's seat for a bit. Blushes are way cute and whatnot, but I prefer impish Claire and Claire with a cocked eyebrow.
BenRG:
To me, strip 2431 is proof that Clinton fundamentally doesn't like Marten for some reason. His body language is practically sweating resentment towards someone and I can't see why it would be Claire.
I wonder if it's a sort of jealousy - no longer being the #1 guy in Claire's life or something like that.

Perhaps, though I think it more likely that he's watched helplessly as she was hurt by this or that person her entire life, and has completely lost the trust in people that Claire found she was able to give Marten.
If true, that would mean even grudging acceptance of Marten would be more a matter of waiting for the other shoe to drop than to trust him. It would also be a growth opportunity of the kind that Jeph appears to love giving his characters.
Half Empty Coffee Cup:
The more I think about this, the more I think that Claire's plan to bother Clinton about this is likely to backfire catastrophically. Mostly because nothing has happened. There are no storm clouds here. None. We get nothing but squees from all the friends, and now... rather than randomly bumping into Clinton and him being told (the way it's happened for everyone else), it's being talked about as something to happen.
I don't know what form that backfiring will take, but I look at that last panel and in addition to being amused at Claire's impishness, there's an undercurrent of unease. Maybe it's just the "something's gonna happen" thing that was missing for a while there...
