On looking at panel 3, would it be decidedly creepy/weird if Clinton had a Claireblush?

That ship is has just been boarded by the Author, who will deem if it has enough canon to enter the shipping lanes.
Actually I think he should be blushing, especially if he is hot under the collar

I wonder how much romantic experience Emily has?

Hmm. The "if you want" seems like he was trying to be casual and not put on her spot before, and that final bit was his nerves talking. Like how he was trying to be confident, but it faltered, and I was hoping for him to evolve as a character, so he isn't such an annoying twit who will likely be featuring much more frequently in the comic. If he had replied to Emily "like a date", she might have just gone ahead with it, feeling pressured, and the whole thing flamed out. Whether or not they end up hooking-up, the whole thing should (ideally) happen organically. It does almost seem as though Jeph is "sparing the spares" right now, and might be in the process of winding things down (although that could take years).

Yeah. Faye even called Angus's problem - too many John Cusack movies where persistence overcomes all. And then: HE WAS RIGHT. To me, that's way worse than Clinton wanting to meet one of Marten's hot friends, even if he did go about it badly.

True, on both counts, but sometimes it "works". I didn't like the way the whole Fangus thing started out (even before her promotion, I'm sure Dora would have let her ban him from the store for being creepy if she wanted to. Sometimes people have a shell, where they push people away, and persistence is the only way to go if one wants to build the foundation for a relationship. I know I've been on both sides of that situation (hence the hedgehog nick).
I must point out, there, that there's a difference between persistence and stalker-ish behaviour (the latter of which ought to set off warning bells).

Maybe he's wearing makeup so we don't see it. It would explain why we never see him with the freckles Claire has.

I think this may be the most "normal" I have ever seen Emily there may actually be potential here.

So this is my second post in a row on the same topic, but I'd like to point out that a clear sign of the fact that this is just shitty writing is that these WDC threads used to take only a few hours to get to 4 pages, and now it's taking half the week.
I wonder why no one's talking about them.
