Kugai:
Wallet and Keys in pockets in pants, but most of the rest of what I carry is in this

Claire can do anything. She is theKwiscotch Haderach.

This reeks more of him forgetting he made this joke and using it again with no recollection of the past because Claire is QC's interchangeable quirky cute girl to squee over for the foreseeable future (see also Hannelore and Marigold's first few respective arcs after being introduced). And of course we can already see her mellowing out and losing any edge she had and becoming another avatar of cute faces for Jeph to churn out (see, again, Hannegold) and aughhh this comic used to be so good and this is so depressing because I love Claire for being trans but she's being caught in the tidal wave of molasses that is this comic's pacing and its characters' flanderization and I just can't.
Next up: Claire drinks alcohol and makes a funny but oh-so-darling face for 4 panels. Or did that already happen. :psyduck:

Or, maybe, I don't know, a running gag. That's a thing. That happens. In webcomics.
Last month there were several predictions about stuff being drawn out ahead of the turkeyday filler. That seems to be the case. Almost all of the speculation included a drama bomb, which seems less likely. But not impossible

I assume experience from living as the wrong gender. Namely, pockets.
--- End quote ---
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.
--- End quote ---
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.
--- End quote ---
As for the primary cause that started it rolling, I would guess that pockets (with things in them) would break up the outline of that perfect curvy (but not too curvy) figure that you are, naturally, starving yourself to acquire/maintain just like the media and social expectations tell you to. :roll: :-P

certainly true, and in fact even men's suits sometimes have the pockets sewn shut for that same reason. 'tis rather silly seeming to me in either case; sacrificing so much utility for such a minor aesthetic point.
of course one way or another, it's always the market forces that perpetuate such fuckery

--- Quote from: ankhtahr on 20 Nov 2014, 11:59 ---Well, a girl I've spent quite a lot of time with over the last few weeks doesn't really give damns about that and just wears men's cargo pants. But she also wears a fanny pack all the time, so I guess she's out of damns to give and just likes practical things. She's still one of the most adorable people I know.
Somehow I love it when people put practicalness over style.
--- End quote ---
One of my exes hated clingy clothes and nicked a couple pairs of my jeans and t-shirts. The practicality aside, I think part of what I liked about it was that she was comfortable/confident enough not to give a damn.

That never bothered me as much; usually if I'm wearing a suit jacket or blazer, I'm carrying a messenger bag anyway. Phone goes in the inside pocket, wallet in a pants pocket, and everything else in the bag. I had another bag that was about half the width and the same depth as a messenger bag. Fit a hardcover book, newspaper, small umbrella, small notebook and some pens comfortably. I made the mistake of lending it to a friend who was going on vacation and he wrecked it... couldn't find another.
osaka:
I am a man of large pockets. In the rare occasion I'd have to look dapper for something, I'd just drop everything on the jacket and have it under control. Pockets are love, pockets are life.
