I assume experience from living as the wrong gender. Namely, pockets.

I never could figure out why women's clothing doesn't come with functional pockets. I haven't seen a pair of women's pants yet that had pockets that weren't completely useless.

i think it's kind of a viscous cycle type thing: women buy pocketless clothing because that's all the clothing companies make to sell them, while the companies keep making pocketless clothing because women keep buying it.

I assume Claire drives to work/the neighbourhood the strip takes place in. It's potentially possible that she leaves everything but her wallet and keys in her car (with a stash of hair ties, etc. in whatever cubby or desk they give her at work) and just goes from there. The fact that her pockets aren't bulging at least a little has to be chalked up to artistic license.
BenRG:
The contrast from the 'ice cream' callback is an interesting one. For Sven, it confirmed that there would be no sexual element to his date with Hannelore (and dropped her in his 'cute baby sister' category too). For Marten, whilst this confirms that Claire isn't ready, it does also confirm that she has the desire.

Yeah; combined with the blush, the nervousness of her reaction tells the story and Marten does a good job reading her and putting care before lust.

Restored lost opening - damn Android interface!

Makes sense.
On the other hand, I used to have a theory about Ben and Jerry's that I think might also apply here. Used to be you couldn't find Chocolate Fudge Brownie anywhere near me, and they'd have a shit ton of Cherry Garcia. I asked at the store, and they told me they'd typically only get a couple of containers in at a time. So somebody in the front office was probably saying, "Well, Chocolate Fudge Brownie can't be popular; we only sold two pints last month. But look at all the Cherry Garcia the store has in stock. It must be popular. Send more of that."
BenRG:
I just re-read and panel 1 has a very flirty Claire. Marten is in for an interesting time reading all those nonvocal cues!
PS - Have we seen Claire's backside during this sequence? Maybe she's wearing one of those hip bag things?
